This Special Issue investigates how refugees and asylum seekers deal with the politics of time constructed through asylum policies, including the production of different temporal regimes in different types of migrant centres. By bringing together articles and case studies that map the time trajectories of individuals in their daily routines and life experiences, we aim to reflect on the notion of timescapes. If, on the one hand, the interactions between the spatial confinement and temporality of immigration controls create multiple forms of (im)mobility for refugees and asylum seekers, on the other hand, practices of routinisation, acceleration, stasis and waiting – exercised by individuals both inside and outside the centres, as well as across borders – can also be read as a tactic aimed at claiming time; a time which is experienced differently according to the particular system of social and civil stratification.

Abstract

This Special Issue investigates how refugees and asylum seekers deal with the politics of time constructed through asylum policies, including the production of different temporal regimes in different types of migrant centres. By bringing together articles and case studies that map the time trajectories of individuals in their daily routines and life experiences, we aim to reflect on the notion of timescapes. If, on the one hand, the interactions between the spatial confinement and temporality of immigration controls create multiple forms of (im)mobility for refugees and asylum seekers, on the other hand, practices of routinisation, acceleration, stasis and waiting – exercised by individuals both inside and outside the centres, as well as across borders – can also be read as a tactic aimed at claiming time; a time which is experienced differently according to the particular system of social and civil stratification.
