摘要

寻求庇护的无人陪伴儿童和青少年处于排他性和压制性庇护政策与相对包容和关怀的儿童福利政策之间的十字路口。这就是“庇护儿童福利悖论”(Dursun and Sauer 2021)。在这篇文章中,我们探讨了情感、感觉和情绪在无人陪伴的未成年人如何通过他们的“情感叙事”回应和处理,以及共同构建和抵制这种结构性悖论中的作用(Bargetz和Eggers, 2022)。根据2015年对奥地利(前)无人陪伴的未成年人进行的定性访谈,我们观察到,由于被拒绝或失去控制的经历,未成年人调动了一系列恐惧、失望、沮丧和不确定性的感觉;但无人陪伴的未成年人也表达了对-à-vis他们的新环境和未来的信心、喜悦、希望和团结。此外,属于和不属于东道国、与其他人的接近和距离等高度敏感的问题在他们的叙述和时间顺序中占有重要地位。我们的结论是,未成年人不只是对构成其社会地位的悖论作出反应,而是积极地塑造这种悖论,并通过叙述矛盾的感觉和情绪以及调动情感来使它们具体化和可行。

Narrating Paradox Affects: Unaccompanied Minor Asylum-Seekers in Austria
Asylum-seeking unaccompanied children and youngsters are situated at the crossroads between exclusionary and repressive asylum policies, on the one hand, and relatively inclusive and caring child welfare policies, on the other. This is the ‘asylum-child welfare paradox’ (Dursun and Sauer 2021). In this article, we explore the role of affect, feelings, and emotions in how unaccompanied minors respond to and process but also co-construct and resist this structural paradox through their ‘affective narratives’ (Bargetz and Eggers 2022). Based on qualitative interviews conducted with (former) unaccompanied minors in Austria in 2015, we observe that minors mobilize a set of feelings of fear, disappointment, frustration, and uncertainty due to experiences of rejection or loss of control; but unaccompanied minors also express feelings of confidence, joy, hope, and solidarity vis-à-vis their new environment and their future. Furthermore, the highly affective issues of belonging and non-belonging to their host country, of proximity and distance to other human beings hold an important place in their narratives as well as the ordering of time. We conclude that, rather than merely reacting to paradoxes that structure their social positions, minors actively shape such paradoxes and render them tangible and workable by means of narrating contradictory feelings and emotions and by mobilizing affectivity.
