Abstract

This paper seeks out a new refugee group that has being displaced from the ‘First World’, and askswhy, when the First World offers such high levels of comfort, they are going. It is this paper’s positionthat this group, that includes in part a people called ‘sex offenders’ by the displacers, are misunderstood bythe dominant discourse as intrinsically criminal in motive and nature. An understanding requires going tothe core of the modern nanny state and its odd duplicity in the ‘export’ (‘self-deport’?) of these First Worldrefugees through disattachment. This is not the tale of a stubborn ‘nanny state’ but the complex meshing ofnotions of ‘home’ and ‘dwelling’, through superstition, disguised as rational governance.
