在人类学中，流离失所通常被视为与难民和被迫移民相关的特殊经历。最近对移民“危机”的描述强化了流离失所的特殊性。根据对难民和非难民背景下的人们进行的研究，我在本文中提出了一种更广泛的流离失所理论，即一种暂时的剥夺感。此外，我还描述了人类学如何通过将难民和其他移民描述为占据以移民身份区分的暂时性的人，否认移民与非移民之间的共存性，从而强化了我们可能会寻求批评的他者逻辑。认识到流离失所的共同时间节奏，以及这些节奏如何广泛地表现为全球资本主义和新自由主义重组的影响，是人类学家可以加强我们对边界结构的分析和批评的一种方式。我们必须坚定地将难民和移民置于这些共同的流离失所节奏中，而不是通过“危机”的视角将他们排除在外。
Displacement is typically approached in anthropology as an exceptional experience that is associated with refugees and forced migration. Recent representations of a migration ‘crisis’ have reinforced the exceptionality attached to displacement. Drawing on research conducted with people in both refugee and non-refugee contexts, in this article I put forward a more expansive theorisation of displacement as a sense of temporal dispossession. Additionally, I describe how, by characterising refugees and other migrants as people who occupy a temporality that is distinguished by their migration status, anthropology denies coevalness with and between migrants and non-migrants and thereby reinforces the very logics of otherness that we might otherwise seek to critique. Recognising the shared temporal rhythms of displacement, and how these manifest broadly as the effects of global capitalism and neoliberal restructurings, is one way through which anthropologists can strengthen our analyses and critiques of bordering structures. We must firmly situate refugees and migrants within these shared rhythms of displacement, rather than exceptionalise them through the lens of ‘crisis’.
