Abstract This paper stems from my long-term involvement in asylum activist communities in London and Berlin and is an analysis of the emotional work of borders. It describes asylum seekers’ daily journeys through endless spaces of discomfort and depletion, which I conceptualise as affective border violence. Stories about different public and private spaces such as the post office, gay clubbing and Berlin's asylum camp spaces will illustrate how affective technologies are mobilised to manage asylum seekers' bodies, time and space. The aims of this paper are threefold: 1) to illustrate how affective border violence works through occupying emotional and mental space by creating an overwhelming amount of emotional borderwork, 2) to illustrate how states mobilise power and violence in and through specific temporal modalities such as fearful anticipation, continuity and the everyday, and 3) how people seeking asylum negotiate affective border violence through re-claiming bodily and temporal space. The empirical elements of this paper include personal reflections, participatory work within and outside of asylum activist groups in London and Berlin, in-depth conversations and friendships with people registered as asylum seekers.

情感边界暴力：绘制不同空间和时间的日常庇护危机

摘要 本文源于我长期参与伦敦和柏林庇护活动家社区的工作，是对边界情感工作的分析。它描述了寻求庇护者在无尽的不适和枯竭空间中的日常旅程，我将其概念化为情感边界暴力。关于邮局、同性恋俱乐部和柏林庇护营地等不同公共和私人空间的故事将说明情感技术如何被调动来管理寻求庇护者的身体、时间和空间。本文的目的有三个：1）通过创造大量的情感边界来说明情感边界暴力如何通过占据情感和心理空间来发挥作用，2) 说明国家如何在特定的时间模式中并通过特定的时间模式（例如可怕的预期、连续性和日常生活）来动员权力和暴力，以及 3) 寻求庇护的人如何通过重新获得身体和时间空间来谈判情感边界暴力。本文的实证元素包括个人反思、伦敦和柏林庇护活动团体内外的参与性工作、与登记为寻求庇护者的人的深入对话和友谊。
