Undocumented Migrants’ Everyday Lives in Finland

Abstract: The everyday lives of undocumented migrants are littered with challenges, such as constantly having to find new places in which to live and sleep; seeking employment and a livelihood, even in the grey market; contacting families and friends, to overcome feelings of loneliness and despair; maintaining hope for the future, despite living in a country that is rejecting them; and escaping the police. Living without legal permission in a country makes them wear a variety of identities and masks, and continually dev… Show more

“…Passports and other travel documents on the table refer to the woman's flight from Ukraine to Moldova (as the caption reveals). The clearly visible travel documents at the front of the image emphasize the woman's legal refugee status, which forms an intertextual reference to the discussions about paperless refugees during the refugee crisis of 2015–2016 (see Barker, 2017; Jauhiainen & Tedeschi, 2021). In addition, the mismatch between the travel documents, colourful easter eggs, and other decorative items at the level of textual metafunction seem to visualize the turbulence felt by the woman, which resonates with the caption on the image: “It would better if I died.” Hence, the unorganized arrangement of the image, facial expression (communicating grievance and despair), and the travel documents act as agonizing visual rhetorical strategies with the aim of constructing understanding of the woman's despair and sorrow.…”

“…In Finland, irregular migrants tend to live in cities, especially in the Helsinki, Tampere, and Turku areas (Jauhiainen et al, 2018). However, according to the latest data from Finnish municipalities (Jauhiainen & Tedeschi, 2021), the greatest pressure is on the capital (Helsinki), and the presence of irregular migrants is no longer as widespread across the country as it was in 2017; hence, our research was mainly conducted in urban areas in southern Finland, and especially in the capital, which has the highest concentration of irregular migrants.…”

“…sometimes limited social relationships (Sigona, 2012), precarious mental and physical conditions (Muntaner et al, 2010), and practices of agency (Sigona, 2012;Triandafyllidou, 2017). The livelihoods of irregular migrants have also been thoroughly investigated by numerous ethnographic studies (Fontanari, 2017;Jauhiainen & Tedeschi, 2021;Khosravi, 2010aKhosravi, , 2010bPicozza, 2017 to cite but a few).…”
