Turkey hosts approximately 300,000 conditional refugees and international protection applicants who are required to reside in designated “satellite cities”. The talk analyzes how they navigate the spatial and temporal limitations imposed by the Turkish asylum regime. Drawing on the concept of future-making, it argues that refugees challenge these spatial and temporal (b)orders and continue to imagine multiple futures. Analyzing the discrepancy between the anticipated future of resettlement and the stagnant present of containment offers insights into the multiple experiences and imaginings of time, rhythm, and the future.
