摘要

在本文中，我们通过借鉴2021年5月至2022年5月期间在布卡拉曼加市和Medellín市进行的实地调查，分析了委内瑞拉移民在哥伦比亚的经历。我们认为，尽管在哥伦比亚的委内瑞拉移民面临的处境基本上是艰难的，但在日常经验的层面上，它也是由希望塑造的。参与最近关于在不稳定情况下的愿望和关怀的辩论，我们将这种模式描述为偶然的希望：以期望改善具体情况为前提的对未来的方向。我们认为，维持希望的能力来自跨越国界的亲属关系的力量，并使人们能够对未来进行情感投资。

Contingent Hope: Everyday Crisis and Future Imaginaries among Venezuelan Migrants in Colombia

In this article, we analyse the experiences of Venezuelan migrants in Colombia by drawing on fieldwork conducted in the cities of Bucaramanga and Medellín between May 2021 and May 2022. We argue that though the situation facing Venezuelan migrants in Colombia is characterised fundamentally by hardship, at the level of everyday experience it is also one shaped by hope. Engaging with recent debates concerning aspiration and care in situations of precarity, we describe this mode of being as contingent hope: as an orientation towards the future premised on the desired improvement of specific circumstances. We contend that the capacity to maintain hope is derived from the strength of kinship ties that stretch across borders and enable emotional investments in the future.
