Drawing on fieldwork and interviews in Oslo and Bergen, Norway, this article discusses irregular migrants’ experiences of existential displacement and the tactics they use to try to re-establish a sense of emplacement and belonging. More specifically, it argues that irregular migrants’ experiences of embodied unbelonging are a consequence of a violent form of governmentality that includes specific laws, healthcare structures, and migration management rationalities. The article makes this argument by tracing how these experiences translate into embodied effects that feature prominently in migrants’ narratives of suffering while living in a country that purports to provide welfare services to all. The narratives of their state of being-in-the-world are ways through which migrants both experience and express the violence and deprivation they face. I argue that these narratives are instances of structures of feeling (Williams 1973), which are shaped by modes of governmentality. The article shows that irregular migrants’ coping strategies centrally involve faith, religious communities and friends. Irregular migrants draw on these relationships to get by, access healthcare, and to resist the (health) effects of social deprivation and political violence. These relationships allow irregular migrants to find meaningful ways of being-in-the-world and rebuilding, to some extent, a sense of entitlement and belonging.

本文以挪威奥斯陆和卑尔根的实地考察和访谈为基础，讨论了非正规移民的生存流离失所经历，以及他们用来试图重新建立就位感和归属感的策略。更具体地讲，它认为非正规移民的无形的经历是政府形式的暴力形式的结果，其中包括特定法律，医疗保健结构和移民管理的合理性。本文通过追踪这些经历如何转化为具体化的效果来进行论证，这些效果在移民生活在一个声称为所有人提供福利服务的国家的经历中尤为突出。他们在世状态的叙事是移民经历并表达自己所面对的暴力和剥夺的方式。我认为这些叙事是感觉结构的实例（Williams 1973），它由政府模式决定。文章显示，非正规移民的应对策略主要涉及信仰，宗教社区和朋友。非正规移民利用这些关系来获得，获得医疗保健，以及抵制社会匮乏和政治暴力的（健康）影响。这些关系使非正规移民可以找到有意义的生活方式，并在某种程度上重建应有的归属感。非正规移民利用这些关系来获得，获得医疗保健，以及抵制社会匮乏和政治暴力的（健康）影响。这些关系使非正规移民可以找到有意义的生活方式，并在某种程度上重建应有的归属感。非正规移民利用这些关系来获得，获得医疗保健，以及抵制社会匮乏和政治暴力的（健康）影响。这些关系使非正规移民可以找到有意义的生活方式，并在某种程度上重建应有的归属感。
