Navigating Displacement: Refugee Lives under Different Legal Conditions (因應錯置:不同法律條件下的難民處境)

Email: ysmiul@gmail.com

My current and future research develops along two interconnected lines. The first extends my earlier work on Tibetan refugees migrating from India to France and continues to follow first-generation migrants who have resettled from South Asia to Europe. I focus on the challenges they encounter in their new societies, including the implications of citizenship acquisition, their processes of social incorporation, and their roles as parents raising children in a transnational context. Particular attention will be paid to parenting across generations within migrant families, including the transmission of cultural values, language, and religious practices, as well as to how children engage in identity formation while growing up in Europe. The second line of inquiry has emerged from my recent fieldwork in Aceh, Indonesia, where refugees from other countries, including Rohingya, have been received over the past decade. I will examine the legal and social precarity refugees encounter in a national context without formal refugee legislation, the roles played by local organizations, and governmental responses to refugee presence. This research aims to develop a comparative framework to explore how refugee status and lived experiences diverge across societies with and without formal legal structures.

我目前及未來的研究聚焦兩個相互關聯的主題:第一是延續我先前關於藏人難民自南亞遷移至法國的研究,將持續追蹤這些第一代遷移者的生活過程及其下一代。在該主題下,我試圖理解他們在移居社會中面臨的挑戰,包括取得公民身分所帶來的意義、社會適應的過程,以及他們在跨國脈絡中作為子女、父母等之角色。本研究也將關注這些移居家庭中的跨世代互動,如,文化價值、語言與宗教實踐的傳承,以及下一代在歐洲成長過程中的身分認同。第二個研究主題則是源自我近期在印尼亞齊的田野。我正在亞齊進行的,雖然是以華人社群為核心的研究,但亦關注到該區域內近年來的難民議題。亞齊地區在過去十多年來,曾暫時接待了不少海上難民,其中許多為羅興亞人。我將探討在缺乏正式難民接收制度的國家脈絡中,難民所面臨的挑戰、地方各類組織所扮演的角色,以及政府對難民議題的回應。本研究期待透過該兩個主題的相互參照,建立一個初步的比較分析框架,探討在有、無難民接收制度的不同國家社會中,「難民」的身分如何被理解,又,被國家與政策「重新制度化」或「排除」的過程,如何形塑這些移動者的身分經驗與生存策略。
