“…Scholars have empirically illustrated the everyday symbolic, material, but also temporal construction of bordering. Axelsson (2022) stresses that borders devolve in the multiple social practices of inclusion and exclusion across dynamic and fragmented time-spaces. In that sense, and specifically addressing aspects related to memory, Pfoser (2020) has encouraged more attention to recognize the historical contingency of bordering through personal narratives.…”

“…Papadopoulos and Fratsea's (2022) analysis of the temporal controls imposed in camps situate these sites as spaces where movement is slowed down or frozen. Axelsson (2022) offers a similar analysis of borders as ‘devices which selectively contract and expand the distance between internal and external spaces and mobilise and immobilise migrants by altering the speed and rhythm of their movements’ (p. 59). These alterations crystallise as deadlines, time limits, intervals and other temporal rearrangements that suspend mobilities.…”

‘Like every other day’: Writing temporalities of banal exploitation among precarious migrant workers

The violence of precarious labour migration is often represented in popular and policy accounts through episodic frames that emphasise particular—often sensationalised and extreme—aspects and moments of more complex and mundane experiences. These depictions commonly appear under the labels of ‘modern‐day slavery’ and ‘labour trafficking’. This paper advances a participatory methodology aimed at elucidating more complex temporalities experienced by precarious migrant labourers, drawing on a project with male migrant workers in Singapore. The methodology developed for this project centres on written diaries/narratives authored by the participants over periods ranging from one to three months. These detailed narratives document struggles—physically, relationally, financially and emotionally—in the context of post‐labour destitution. These struggles appear as both ‘everyday’ difficulties and longer‐term problems, with both temporalities rendered visible as a form of slow violence. This methodology fuses key principles of qualitative longitudinal research (QLR) methods with participatory action research (PAR) to develop a methodological orientation to temporally extenuative experiences of violence that are visible through processes that draw on participants as key producers of knowledge and advocates for change. As a way of engaging migrants' mundane post‐labour struggles, this methodology allows for tracing of the longer‐term and cumulative impacts of precarious migrant labour through participants' own frames of reference.

“…En ese sentido, Paasi (2021) ha subrayado que el proceso de fronterización ocurre en una diversidad de prácticas, formas y lugares, a la vez que presenta varios objetivos. El autor hace referencia al hecho de que las fronteras se activan como categorías espacio-tiempo y redes de control que pueden tanto extender o acortar distancias, así como también hacer que la gente se desplace o permanezca en espera (Paasi, 2021;Axelsson, 2022).…”

Objetivo: describir el proceso de fronterización durante el cierre parcial de la frontera entre México y los Estados Unidos. Metodología: se analiza la estadística de cruces fronterizos durante el periodo de cierre parcial de la frontera, en la región Sonora y Arizona, así como la descripción del entorno político durante ese período y los nuevos movimientos migratorios y la intensificación de la relación diplomática entre México y los Estados Unidos, donde se destaca la donación de vacunas para prevenir la enfermedad del Coronavirus. Resultados: se pudo encontrar una diferencia contrastante entre la interrupción mínima del cruce de bienes de consumo y el de personas, así como la resiliencia fronteriza derivado del número de personas que se mantuvieron cruzando la frontera a pesar de las limitaciones e incertidumbre generada por esta contingencia. Limitaciones: este el estudio se realizó solamente con estadística de agencias de los Estados Unidos, debido a la falta de datos de agencias públicas mexicanas. Conclusiones: Se refuerza el concepto fronterización para establecer el proceso de orden y clasificación, así como la “coexistencia” de refronterización y defronterización, derivadas de las políticas de “cercos Covid-19” durante la Pandemia, en la cual se observa una distinción clara entre puertas abiertas a los bienes; limitada y catalogada apertura para las personas, basada en la evidencia de puertos de entrada entre los estados de Sonora y Arizona.
