“…For “serious” legal matters, such as murder and rape, it was stated to transfer the case from the legal system of the camp to the authorities of the home region. Although personnel of the Karen National Union (KNU) did not play an active role in legal proceedings in the camp itself, as was the case with the Karenni camps in relation to the Karenni National Progressive Party (see Dudley, 2010, p. 41), the KNU's legal documents (“Kaw Thoo Lei Law”) were relevant in KRC camps (McConnachie, 2014, p. 71ff.).…”

“…Until today, Burmese refugee camps in Thailand are renowned for a high degree of community autonomy and for their self‐governance, with control in the hands of refugee representatives (Dudley, 2010; McConnachie, 2014, p. 92ff., 140; Lang, 2002).…”

Pluralism and local law in extraterritorial spaces

Based on ethnographic research, this article shows how legal orders are being established in spaces where the state law is absent. The case of refugee camps—often discussed as sites of legal limbo and state of exception—seems to be a space of legal pluralism. However, when observing local legal practices, this pluralism is dissolved into a powerful local camp law. This characteristic type of legal order is produced by social camp‐specific mechanisms, camp materiality as well as the remaking of pre‐camp structures. Therefore, refugee camps should be viewed as extraterritorial spaces with a high degree of legal autonomy that enables and forces residents to create a local camp law. The findings of this study add to the literature of law and order in camps and to the debates on plural configurations in extraterritorial spaces.

“…Theoretically, work in this area has drawn mainly on phenomenological and feminist theorizations of embodiment (Basu and Coleman 2008;Miller 2005) and cultural materialism (Jackson 2000). Empirical analyses have explored the role of objects, homemaking practices, landscapes and travel items in constructions of transnational identities (Abranches 2013;Burrell 2008aBurrell , 2008bDudley 2010;Tolia-Kelly 2004;Walsh 2006aWalsh , 2006b. As noted by Girart and Bailey (2010), these approaches, while generally maintaining the fluidity and multiplicity of transnational belonging, have privileged the study of contingent dynamics through which identification takes place.…”

“…Among them, two approaches in particular have emerged in recent literature. On the one hand, transnational migration is frequently studied through the materialities of journeys and place-making practices (Basu and Coleman 2008;Blunt 2005;Burrell 2008a;Dudley 2010;Levin and Fincher 2010;Tolia-Kelly 2004;Walsh 2006aWalsh , 2006b). On the other, increasing attention is devoted to the temporalities of migrant experiences and migration regimes, particularly in relation to the condition of refugees and asylum seekers (Bailey et al 2002;Conlon 2011;Griffiths 2014;Hyndman and Giles 2011;Mountz 2011 among many others).…”

Transnational disruptions: materialities and temporalities of transnational citizenship among Somali refugees in Cairo

Literature on both transnationalism and 'lived citizenship' has highlighted the multiple, fluid and simultaneous character of migrant experiences of belonging. Geographers, however, have questioned this emphasis on mobility, connections and simultaneity, regrounding research on migrant transnationalism through the study of materiality and embodiment, and pointing to the salience of temporality in defining contemporary migration and asylum regimes. Drawing on ethnographic research with Somali refugees living in Cairo, Egypt, in this article I explore the material and temporal 'disruptions' that mark their condition at three interrelated levels. These are the experience of 'time suspension' associated with maintaining transnational family connections, the uncertain temporalities characterizing the work of humanitarian agencies, and the 'everyday emergencies' that mark daily life in a Cairo neighbourhood. Through the heuristic lens of materiality and assemblage geographies, through the analysis I hope to offer a more nuanced account of the tension between 'fluidity' and groundedness in refugees' transnational practices, as well as an appraisal of the role temporalities and materialities play in emerging forms of 'irregular citizenship' in the Global South.
