自主遊民的爭議就是定義政治的爭議。個人問題與社會經濟問題向來主導主
流遊民研究的問題意識，而「權益」與「義務」則是主流遊民研究解決「遊民問
題」的路徑。上述路徑以社會吸納處理受到社會排斥的遊民，不過，自主遊民是
對社會吸納的否定。社會吸納同時意味複雜的社會關係以及對於內在集體認同的
強調，相反地，自主遊民強調簡單的社會關係以及對差異的尊重。對比國家建立
在集體複雜關係的再生產，自主遊民對於簡單關係的追求毫無疑問地挑戰國家的
延續。自主遊民對於國家的挑戰突顯自主遊民的生產在於解構共同體。最後，自
主遊民對於社會吸納的否定也就是對主流集體認同政治的反詰。

The controversy of homelessness by choice centers upon the question of the
political. Debates on this issue are divided as individual problem view and
socio-economic problem view, both problematize the excluded status of the homeless.
Be it “homeless rights view” in Taiwan or “government responsibility view” in the US,
the remedies that dominant homeless studies come up with incline to include the
homeless into the collective. Nevertheless, homelessness by choice in Taiwan is a
reversal of social inclusion, a reversal initiated by an interrogation of the sociological
bond. In contrast with the sociological bond, which at once harbors complicated
relations and prioritizes the immanent collective, the ethical bond valuates simple
relations and differences. The ethical bond and its spatial counterpart, the floating
land bond, on the other hand, bring tension to the space of the State as the latter is
composed of the sociological bond and the fixed land bond. The ethical bond and
the floating land bond of homeless by choice, in terms of Henri Lefebvre and
Jean-Luc Nancy, is an effort to produce inoperative community that will lead to the
end of the State. The ethical bond of homeless by choice in Taiwan challenges the
dominant idea that the political is the power relation between the collectives.
