Haunting Futures
The 2008 economic collapse in Iceland sent its residents into a destabilising crisis with far-reaching, temporal and affective consequences. Haunting Futures explores how the complex relationships of this unstable past and the anticipatory modes of the ongoing present keep Icelanders and the Polish migrant community in their midst alert to looming futures in crisis. It offers insights into timely crisis-ridden impacts and imaginings, migration pr…

Polish nurses in Norway
This paper expands and enriches existing knowledge on the work–life balance of migrant workers by exploring the experiences of Polish nurses in Norway. Previous studies predominantly highlight the obstacles faced by migrant workers, such as discrimination, low status and poor working conditions, in achieving work–life balance. Based on ethnographic interviews with 15 Polish nurses working in Norwegian hospitals and nursing homes, our main finding…

Middling migrants, neoliberalism and racism
The literature on migration and racism usually focuses on Western, highly skilled migrants working in global cities who reproduce racial postcolonial hierarchies or on less-privileged, low-skilled migrants and refugees, whose situation is analysed in terms of experienced racial prejudices. Our article aims to fill the gap related to the inbetween category of middling migrants and to analyse their relations with neoliberalism and racism. By drawin…
Economic Crisis, Lived Experiences and Temporal Reasoning Among Polish Migrants in Iceland
The article focuses on the relationship between the lived experiences of economic crisis and its lingering effects on Polish migrants’ understandings of the current matters in Iceland. It shows that even though the economic collapse in 2008 was experienced differently, it has also induced different emotions and became a significant point of reference for Polish migrant community in Iceland. Interestingly, long after Iceland’s economic recovery, t…

Migration and Lived Experiences of Racism
This article examines migrants’ lived experiences with racism in Wrocław, Poland. Drawing on qualitative research conducted among high-skilled migrants, it analyzes various ways migrants encounter, understand, and cope with racism. Our case study broadens discussion about migration and racism by analyzing an Eastern European, post-socialist, predominantly “white” receiving society seldom researched in terms of racism. The article problematizes th…
Multiple belongings
Using ethnographic research in Norway and in Poland, this article focuses on the dynamics of multiple belongings of Polish migrants. It explores their experiences of belonging in relation to social class, gendered identities, and their different strategies of transnational mobility between Poland and Norway. By approaching belonging ‘from below’, we posit that it is a dynamic, processual, and socially and culturally constructed attachment to plac…
Crisis futures
The 2008 collapse of the Icelandic banking sector has become a defining moment in the nation’s contemporary history. The event revealed the role of neoliberal economic reconfigurations in the construction of social and temporal experience, particularly by highlighting the public’s investment in, and aspiration for, a bright economic future during the early-2000s. Drawing on our independent ethnographic work, we collectively trace the enormous gro…
Antycypacja, afektywne ekonomie i temporalność w (post)kryzysowej Islandii
Neoliberalne przeobrażenia islandzkiej ekonomii politycznej i produkcja nowych subiektywności w latach 90. XX wieku doprowadziły nie tylko do znaczących przemian społecznych i kulturowych w Islandii, ale także przygotowały podatny grunt na nadejście kryzysu ekonomicznego w 2008 roku. Jego doświadczenia i konsekwencje były oczywiście różne, aczkolwiek sam kryzys stał się także istotnym punktem na temporalnej mapie Islandii. Mimo że Islandia ponown…
Reproducing, transforming and contesting gender relations and identities through migration and transnational ties
This article contributes to conceptual debates on gender transformations in the context of migration and transnationalism. We do so by discussing developments in gender relations and identities among Polish post-accession migrants in Norway; analysing the intersections of continuities and changes, relationally, as these are produced spatially and temporally. We draw on ethnographic data collected among Polish migrants in the Norwegian cities Oslo…
