The article ‘Waiting as probation: selecting self-disciplining asylum seekers’ by Lorenzo Vianelli, Nick Gill and Nicole Hoellerer has been published in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
The article diagnoses and critiques a type of governmentality associated with waiting during protracted asylum appeal procedures by drawing upon data from a multi-methodological study of asylum adjudication in Europe. Focusing on Austria, Germany and Italy, the authors show that the use of integration-related considerations in asylum appeals transforms migrant waiting into a period of probation during which rejected asylum seekers’ conducts are governed and tested in relation to the use of time.
