This article lets unfold a disquieting day in the life of an individual who resides in a predominately Irish Republican and Catholic social housing estate in east Belfast, Northern Ireland. Since the signing of the 1998 Belfast/Good Friday Peace Agreement, this tight‐knit working‐class community, which continues to be deeply affected by the colonial and ethnonationalist conflict dubbed “the Troubles,” has faced an unbundling of shared practices, identities, and concepts. Through ethnographic description and phenomenological interpretation, this article explores the ways in which the familiar world solicits this individual into reflecting about his sense of self amidst existential uncertainty. Through familiarity, I suggest, unseen marginal possibilities—past futures—may solicit us into concernful and engaged reflection about our existence. During an intimate and precipitating conversation with an old friend, this individual becomes solicited into an altered understanding of his way of life and his place in the community.

2017年理查德·康登（Richard G. Condon）获奖论文“我不会死在这条街上：”贝尔法斯特冲突中的思考

这篇文章让一个人生活在北爱尔兰东部贝尔法斯特一个以爱尔兰为主的共和和天主教社会住房中，这是一个令人沮丧的日子。自从1998年《贝尔法斯特/耶稣受难日和平协议》签署以来，这个紧密联系在一起的工人阶级社区一直深受被称为“麻烦”的殖民主义和民族主义冲突的深远影响，面临着一系列共同的做法，身份，和概念。通过人种学的描述和现象学的解释，本文探讨了熟悉的世界如何在存在不确定性的情况下，使这个人反思自己的自我意识。我建议，通过熟悉，看不见的边际可能性（过去的未来）可能使我们对我们的生存产生关注和积极的思考。
