Dynamic figurations of refugees, migrants, and longtime residents in Jordan since 1946: between peaceable and tension-ridden co-existence?

我们在第一次申请资金时提出的研究问题涉及约旦长期居民和不同难民群体(指难民及其后代)形象的变化，以及在实际和日常层面上保持稳定。与我们的假设相反，我们的假设是基于对相关文献的回顾，我们在该领域的研究的一个重要发现是，生活在约旦的群体之间从经验上可以观察到的差异比我们想象的要大得多，因此有更复杂和不同的比喻。在我们项目的下一阶段，我们将不仅使用我们现有的数据，而且使用少量精心规划的新数据，为我们关于这种复杂性的结论寻求经验饱和。这项新的数据收集工作将主要致力于对我们样本中那些可被描述为局外人或边缘化群体的人进行进一步访谈。我们的目的是展示不同的群体或我们群体是如何共存的，以及在大安曼大量难民涌入的当前局势中哪里存在冲突潜力。到目前为止，我们的研究已经有效地揭示了不同群体的历史和当前动态，以及他们的我们和他们的形象。然而，我们需要扩大我们对决定不同群体和群体之间关系的构成因素的分析。我们计划集中讨论四个具体主题：a)赞助网络的重要性。我们认为，这些对于理解分组和we-group的比喻是必不可少的。B)巴勒斯坦人的不同群体。我们对这些极为不同的群体的研究结果表明，还需要更多的数据来分析群体之间以及群体与长期居民之间的关系。在这里，我们将看看在东安曼高度不稳定的环境中，长期居民和难民群体之间以及不同难民群体之间的比喻，并询问它们在表现和谈判方式方面与安曼中产阶级之间的比喻有何不同。D)苏丹人--一群不是来自中东的外来者。在这里，我们将考虑我们关于基于阿拉伯中东共同财产和对集体财产的共同(情境)管理的WE图像同质化的调查结果是否可以适用于这一组，或者是否需要修改。

The research questions formulated in our first application for funding were related to changes in the figurations of longtime residents in Jordan and different groupings of refugees (meaning refugees and their descendants), and the maintenance of stability on a practical, everyday level. In contrast to our assumptions, which were based on a review of the relevant literature, an important finding of our research in the field is that the empirically observable differences between the groupings living in Jordan are far greater than we thought, with far more complex and differentiated figurations as a result. In the next phase of our project, we will seek empirical saturation for our conclusions in respect of this complexity, using not only our existing data but also a small amount of carefully planned new data. This new data collection exercise will be mainly devoted to conducting further interviews with people in those groupings within our sample that can be described as outsiders or as marginalized. Our aim is to show how different groupings or we-groups co-exist and where there is conflict potential in the current situation im Greater Amman, with its influx of large numbers of refugees.Our research so far has effectively uncovered the history and current dynamics of the different groupings, together with their we- and they-images. However, we need to extend our analysis with regard to the constitutive factors that determine relations between different groupings and groups.We plan to focus on four specific topics:a) The significance of patronage networks. We believe that these are essential to an understanding of the figurations of groupings and we-groups. b) Different groupings of Palestinians. Our findings concerning these extremely different groupings show that further data is needed in order to analyse the relations between the groupings and between them and longtime residents.c) Precarious milieus vs. middle class milieus. Here we will look at the figurations between longtime residents and refugee groupings, and between different refugee groupings, in the highly precarious milieus of east Amman, and ask how they differ from figurations in Amman’s middle class(es) in respect of the way they are manifested and negotiated. d) Sudanese – a grouping of outsiders who do not come from the Middle East. Here we will consider whether our findings concerning homogenizing we-images based on a common belonging to the Arab Middle East and a common (situative) management of collective belongings can be applied to this grouping or whether they need to be modified.
