Doing Translocal Research Amid Violent Conflicts
How can research be conducted with a translocal lens in times and places of conflict? This chapter addresses this question from a methodological perspective. As a field of research, migrant transnationalism shares affinities with several approaches that challenge methodological nationalism, including translocality. However, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to empirical studies of people’s translocal lives. A range of methodologies―from mult…
Living and Moving Through Conflict
How do war, conflict, and insecurity shape, disrupt, and transform mobility trajectories and patterns of translocal life—within countries and across borders? This introduction foregrounds the book's overarching research question and provides a brief synopsis of how scholars in Migration and Refugee Studies, as well as in Peace and Conflict Studies, have addressed translocal lives in times of conflict. Conceptually, we argue for a shift from a tra…
Rethinking Migration and Conflict Through a Translocal and Temporal Lens
This concluding chapter argues for a dialogue between Migration and Refugee Studies and Peace and Conflict Studies, foregrounding the concept of translocal social fields and their transformations under conditions of violence and war. By adopting a translocal lens, the book challenges the methodological nationalism that has long shaped scholarship and highlights the significance of the places and connections that mediate the mobility of people, re…
Translocal Lives in Times of Conflict
This open access book offers insights into how conflict reshapes lives and mobility, providing a perspective on displacement and translocal experiences.
Afghans' narrowing mobility options in Pakistan and the right to transnational living
Different types of low-scale mobility have traditionally aided Afghans in Pakistan to cope with the challenges of everyday life during forty years of displacement: cross-border and domestic movement, resource usage from assets ‘back home’, transnational networks, and circular migration conditioned by war, prospects for peace and economic opportunities. However, in the past twenty years, Afghans’ transnational living and mobility have not only bec…
Family figurations in displacement
Refugees rarely flee in isolation. Instead, their everyday lives and mobilities are fundamentally shaped by the broader set of social relations in which they are embedded, particularly by their families. Drawing on interviews with sixty displaced people living in Germany and in-depth case studies of the trajectories of refugees from Eritrea and Syria, we reconstruct the role that families and other social relations transgressing national borders …
Unsettling protracted displacement
Conventional understandings of protracted displacement are limited by a number of shortcomings. They imply the stasis of protracted situations; the passivity and disconnection of vulnerable groups who need external support; and immobility of people ‘stuck’ in places. Moreover, solutions to protracted displacement are based on the priorities of states and defined by the perspectives of humanitarian organizations. In contrast, this special issue se…
