This anthology aims to destabilize the limits of the discipline of architecture by focusing on the core concepts of inhabitation and displacement. This, by extension, centralizes the figure of the inhabitant and interrogates the limits of conventional architectural thinking. The editors shed light on the topic of displacement from interdisciplinary and international perspectives. By rendering visible the practices of living and spatial appropriation, this volume also encourages critical engagement with questions of architectural production and authorship.

Although refugee camps are established to accommodate, protect, and assist those fleeing from violent conflict and persecution, life often remains difficult there. Building on empirical research with refugees in a Ugandan camp, Ulrike Krause offers nuanced insights into violence, humanitarian protection, gender relations, and coping of refugees who mainly escaped the conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This book explores how risks of gender-based violence against women, in particular, but also against men, persist despite and partly due to their settlement in the camp and the system established there. It reflects on modes and shortcomings of humanitarian protection, changes in gender relations, as well as strategies that the women and men use to cope with insecurities, everyday struggles, and structural problems occurring across different levels and temporalities.

Refugee camps are established with the intention of being demolished. As a paradigmatic representation of political failure, they are meant to have no history and no future; they are meant to be forgotten. The history of refugee camps is constantly being erased and dismissed by states, humanitarian organizations, international agencies and even by refugee communities themselves, who fear that any acknowledgment of the present condition in the camp may undermine their right of return to their place of origin. The only history that is recognized is one of violence and humiliation. Yet the camp is also a place rich with stories, narrated through its urban fabric. In tracing, documenting, revealing and representing refugee history beyond the narrative of suffering and displacement, Refugee Heritage is an attempt to imagine and practice ‘refugeeness’ beyond humanitarianism. Such a process requires not only rethinking the refugee camp as a political space: it calls for redefining the refugee as a subject in exile and understanding exile as a contemporary political practice that is capable of challenging the status quo. The recognition of “the heritage of a culture of exile” constitutes a new perspective from which social, spatial and political structures can be imagined and experienced, beyond the idea of the nation-state. This book-dossier attempts to deactivate the claims of objectivity and universalism contained in the conventions followed by UNESCO in determining World Heritage status; it presents different narratives that do not fit within such statist discourse, reorienting heritage towards non-hegemonic forms of life and collective memory. By reusing, misusing and redirecting UNESCO World Heritage guidelines and criteria, Refugee Heritage challenges definitions of heritage and their colonial foundations, asking instead how architecture is mobilized as an agent of political transformation. Refugee Heritage is comprised of the first four parts of the Annex 5 UNESCO nomination dossier for the inscription of Dheisheh Refugee Camp as a World Heritage Site, and an Appendix containing architectural interventions, conversations and responses, produced over the course of the last six years with the participation of organizations and individuals, politicians and conservation experts, activists, and governmental and non-governmental representatives. The publication of this book has been made possible with the generous support of the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm; Iaspis, the Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s International Programme for Visual Artists; Van Abbemuseum; Art Jameel in Dubai. The book was presented on the occasion of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, 2021.

"Nahaboo and Kerrigan make a timely intervention into discussions of the 'European Question' and our understanding of race, space, bordering and refugeehood in the context of the Calais Jungle. This important work will be of interest to scholars and students thinking through questions of migration via an interdisciplinary lens as they bring together theories and experiences of Geography, History, Sociology, Politics and IR in this important and fascinating new work." -Gemma Bird, Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations, University of Liverpool, UK "Nahaboo and Kerrigan's rich analysis of the 'Calais Jungle' as a site of racialised exceptionality, contested rights and love provides fascinating insights into the ever-thorny 'European Question.'" -Vicki Squire, Professor of International Politics, University of Warwick, UK 'Nahaboo and Kerrigan provide a compelling account of the violent spatial and racialised logics that shape the Calais 'Jungle'. Refusing to posit this camp as an aberration of contemporary migration governance, they reveal how the production of destitution and misery is not only purposeful but central to the fabric of European postcoloniality. Whilst providing insightful analysis of the legacies of empire in Calais and beyond, the book accounts for the possibility of resistance and hope amongst the turmoil of seeking asylum in an ever more bordered world.' -Joe Turner, Lecturer in Politics, University of York, Author of Bordering Intimacy: Postcolonial Governance and the Policing of Family, Manchester University Pres This book examines how the Calais Jungle posed and addressed the European Question. The issue of who and what counts as European was articulated through this makeshift camp. The book argues that the Jungle acquired meaning as a localised struggle to define territory, borders, rights and refugees in Europe. Henri Lefebvre's spatial triad is used as a framing device for analysis. Discourses of tropicality are shown to produce the Jungle in terms of a postcolonial space of exception. This representational space fused bodies and environment in racialised ways. Attention is then drawn to assemblages that gave rise to political subjectivity, which partially elided a Eurocentric prism of rights. Here, the book explores how a 'right to the jungle' was generated via relations between refugees, aid workers and material objects-constituting the Jungle as a space of representation. Finally, intimate life in, and beyond, the Jungle is examined as a spatial practice that contests the EU border regime. Zaki Nahaboo is a lecturer in sociology at Birmingham City University, UK. He has research and teaching interests in postcolonial studies, historical sociology, and international political sociology. Zaki writes about imperial citizenship, the racialization of migration, free speech, and multiculturalism. Nathan Aaron Kerrigan is a lecturer in sociology at Birmingham City University, UK. Nathan's teaching and research interests centre around themes of community, space, and place. He is particularly interested in the way these different thematic areas impact on the regulation and control of minority ethic and migrant bodies in rural areas. .
