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’.

时间和另一个危机：人类学如何使其流离失所的对象

在人类学中，流离失所通常被视为与难民和强迫移民相关的特殊经历。移民“危机”的最新表现强化了流离失所的特殊性。在对难民和非难民背景下的人们进行的研究的基础上，我在本文中提出了更广泛的关于流离失所的理论，认为这是对时间的剥夺感。此外，我描述了如何通过将难民和其他移民描述为具有以其移民身份来区分的暂时性的人为特征，人类学否认与移民和非移民之间以及他们之间的同等性，从而加强了我们否则可能寻求的其他逻辑。批评。认识到位移的共同时间节律，以及这些如何广泛体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对边界结构的分析和批评的一种方式。我们必须将难民和移徙者牢牢地置于这些共同的流离失所节奏中，而不是通过“危机”的眼光来使他们排外。
