Uncertain, malevolent and irrational
Using a vernacular approach to security, this article examines what ordinary people narrate about the insecurities they experience in their information landscape in a time of remote war and the practices they employ in response. Based on the narrative analysis of semi-structured interviews with Finnish nationals in spring 2022, after the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the article identifies two main narratives and three sub-narratives of information…
(De-)Bordering by Laughter. What Can Different Kinds of Laughter Reveal About the Experiences of Everyday Bordering Among Asylum Seekers and Refugees
This paper proposes a novel approach for analyzing the experiences of everyday bordering among people who have arrived in Finland as asylum seekers or refugees. Drawing on critical border studies, the study of laughter and the methodology of drifting, we conceptualize laughter as indicative of, and contributing to, the practices of bordering and de-bordering in the domain of everyday encounters. We ask, what different types of laughter reveal abo…
Turvapaikanhakijoiden arjen materiaalinen niukkuus sekä kännykän luoma tuttuus ja turva välitilassa
Turvapaikanhakijoiden arki Suomessa ja Pohjois-Karjalan maaseudulla on monella tavalla välitilaista. Välitila ja välitilassa eläminen näkyy myös turvapaikanhakijoiden suhteessa esineisiin, jota määrittää materiaalinen niukkuus ja esineiden vähäisyys. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan turvapaikanhakijoiden arjen konkreettisinta ja tärkeintä rajoja ylittävää esinettä – kännykkää. Kännykkä on turvapaikanhakijoiden arjen työkalu, joka kiinnittää heitä sekä …
Towards intersectional and anti-racist career guidance
Many researchers have drawn attention to the importance of intersectionality and anti-racism in career guidance, but literature thus far contains few practical examples of how to go about dismantling ethnic and racial normativities that shape educational and labour market transitions. The aim of this article is to deepen the understanding of anti-racist and intersectional career guidance by presenting the results of a study which analysed 22 inte…
The politics of embedding and the right to remain in post-Brexit Britain
The European Union membership referendum (i.e. the Brexit referendum) in the United Kingdom in 2016 triggered a process of introspection among non-British European Union citizens with respect to their right to remain in the United Kingdom, including their right to entry, permanent residence, and access to work and social welfare. Drawing on interview data collected from 42 European Union nationals, namely Finnish and Polish migrants living in Sco…
Adrift in a Borderland
This article examines our on-going attempts to operationalise a critical qualitative research approach – drifting, which we have adopted from the feminist collective Precarias a la deriva, – in order to conduct research with people who have arrived in Finland as asylum seekers and refugees, as well as with the civic activists who work by their side. Our research focuses on the everyday bordering practices that exclude asylum seekers and refugees,…
Revisiting geographies of temporalities
In this article, we look at the role of time and temporalities in migrant responses to the result of the 2016 European Union referendum in the United Kingdom, that is, Brexit. Although some attention has been paid to affective “first reactions” to Brexit, less is known about how it is negotiated in a longer perspective. Here, we recognise that responses to Brexit are dynamic and prone to change. Therefore, it is crucial to explore practical ratio…
Mediated Mobility and Mobile Media
Systems of communication and media are an important area of mobilities research. Because of the digitalization of media and changes in other social institutions, mobility and migration are not only stimulated by the media, but also people who are on the move and who settle in new locations are affected by transnational and overlapping digital spheres, which relate them both socially and emotionally. Transnational media use produces communities, b…

Battling for Citizenship
The article addresses the disjunction between the theory and practice of citizenship through a case study concerning the settlement of Somali refugees in Lieksa, a small town in eastern Finland. We use the concept 'acts of citizenship' to highlight how the Somalis in Lieksa have worked toward inclusion in the Finnish society. We also highlight how contested the citizenship position of even members of the Finnish society who, by law, are citizens …
