(Re)chronotopizing the pandemic

In this article I apply the notions of chronotope and (re)chronotopization to the case of grassroots, migrant domestic worker (MDW) led activism during the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong. I compare the chronotopes that are produced by the Hong Kong government with those produced by migrant-led organizations to understand how migrants are marginalized and how they resist this marginalization. More specifically, I show how the spatiotemporal configurations of “home,” “days off,” and “the time of COVID-19 in Hong Kong” are rechronotopized – that is, reimagined, remoralized and rematerialized – through the discourses and actions of these grassroots organizations. I use this data and analysis to reflect on how the notion of rechronotopization can account for the social processes involved in activism more broadly; and to draw attention to the dialectic relationship between differently scaled chronotopic materialities and morally loaded chronotopic imaginaries.

Taking migration discourse (Dick 2010, 2013; Dick and Arnold 2017) as a starting point, this paper examines how Indigenous youth in Guatemala navigate and understand complex migratory contexts at home before they decide, or are compelled, to migrate. Using methods of discourse analysis, I illuminate how talk about migration becomes a key site for young people to challenge transnational migration as an opportunity and thereby create alternate spatiotemoral renderings of the future for themselves and their communities. I argue that through their migration discourse young people are engaging in a form of everyday politics that helps complicate our understandings of the migratory contexts they are part of. As such, this work contributes to how we conceptualize migratory contexts that do not fall neatly into categories of ‘voluntary’ and ‘involuntary’ and instead argues for an attentiveness to migratory decision-making as a complex negotiation—a complexity which is often lost when we position ‘deciding to leave’ and ‘fleeing’ as incommensurate and analytically distinct categories.
