*Problematizing asylum seeker and refugee accommodation: dwelling, housing,
shelving?*
Convenors:
Annett Fleischer, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and
Ethnic Diversity (MMG-MPG) Göttingen, Germany
Antje Missbach, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia
This panel brings together a number of papers from different geographic and
political contexts that critically challenge the way asylum seekers and
refugees are accommodated, short-, mid- and long-term. By comparing aspects
of location, design and service of various accommodation site both in
transit or destination countries we hope to shed light on questions
regarding the responsibilities of the respective hosting states and
non-state service providers such as private facility operators, charity
organisations, the International Organisation of Migration (IOM) or even
the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). Learning from and about diverse
accommodation arrangements and their respective capacities for addressing
asylum seekers’ needs and aspirations is expected to provide insights
relevant for Critical Migration Studies within Social Sciences. The panel
is particularly concerned with a problematisation of temporality of asylum
seeker and refugee accommodation.
Further questions of interest include:
1) What conditions do state and non-state providers for asylum
seeker and refugee accommodation consider adequate for housing for asylum
seekers and how did their guidelines evolve?
2) What role does accommodation play in the process of applying
for asylum?
3) What measures of integration are built into accommodating
asylum seekers and refugees and in which way are they decisive for
conditioning and channelling their trajectories?
4) How do asylum seekers and refugees view advantages and
disadvantages of decentralized versus centralized forms of accommodation?

> Panel Long Abstract
> This panel addresses the interplay between travel and dwelling practices
> among people on the move. The ubiquitous use of networked computers in
> homes transformed everyday lives. Digital technology has both opened up
> windows to entertainment, education, gossip, and networking while also
> ushering in new forms of surveillance that control everyday routines.
> Digital media connect remote people and places: we explore virtual travel
> and mooring in concert to unveil the everyday practices involved in the
> various uses of digital media at the intersections of traveling and
> dwelling. Specific everyday practices, tactics and histories revolve around
> dwelling and traveling (Clifford 1992). Dwelling-in-travel may include
> practices of homing that draw on decorative objects, cuisines, rituals and
> festivals. Travel-in-dwelling refers to the use of internet technologies,
> television, radio, phones and remote gift exchange while staying in a
> shelter.
> The increasing circulation of people, objects, ideas and capital are
> anchored in (ephemeral) dwelling practices in private and public settings.
> This panel focuses on these practices and materialities of dwelling.
> Hotels, tents, refugee camps, night trains and recreational vehicles
> contain multiple stories of delayed travel, aspired destinations, routes,
> despair and stillness, which ethnographers can bring to light. Instead of
> artificially separating dwelling-in-travel and traveling-in-dwell, this
> panel seeks to more comprehensively understand the mutual shaping of both
> sets of practices. We welcome ethnographic accounts and theoretical papers
> on mobile people, including expatriates, refugees, exiles, long-distance
> commuters and life style travellers. How do digital technologies transform
> their practices of home-making? Which dwelling practices do they develop?
