This book laid out its investigation in three intertwined layers: perceptions, experiences, and becoming of refugees. Part I employed theories of conflict analysis to examine the identities, actors, and underlying causes of the Syrian conflict, as perceived by Syrian refugees who were forced to leave their country involuntarily. Part II focused on the experiences of refugees, which shaped their comprehension of the future of Syria. Part III focused on becoming refugees in dual spatiality and multiple temporalities divided between home (Syria) and host (Türkiye). The conflict mapping in Part I is timely, as Syria is at the beginning of a new era after the Ba’ath regime was dismantled and a new regime emerged in December 2024. Perceptions presented here belong to people who have a possibility of returning or possibility of becoming Syria’s diaspora. How they perceived the identities, actors, and causes shaped their experiences. Therefore, Part II connects these perceptions to multiple temporalities to examine their experiences, which shaped Syrians’ projections for the future, offering insights about possibilities and challenges in the future of Syria and the role different segments could play in the newly emerging governing structure. Part III contextualizes refugees within dual spatiality and multiple temporalities to elaborate on their becoming and show how their “becoming” as refugees is interlinked with the degree of here and there along with past and future in their articulations, which informs their present.

摘要

This book laid out its investigation in three intertwined layers: perceptions, experiences, and becoming of refugees. Part I employed theories of conflict analysis to examine the identities, actors, and underlying causes of the Syrian conflict, as perceived by Syrian refugees who were forced to leave their country involuntarily. Part II focused on the experiences of refugees, which shaped their comprehension of the future of Syria. Part III focused on becoming refugees in dual spatiality and multiple temporalities divided between home (Syria) and host (Türkiye). The conflict mapping in Part I is timely, as Syria is at the beginning of a new era after the Ba’ath regime was dismantled and a new regime emerged in December 2024. Perceptions presented here belong to people who have a possibility of returning or possibility of becoming Syria’s diaspora. How they perceived the identities, actors, and causes shaped their experiences. Therefore, Part II connects these perceptions to multiple temporalities to examine their experiences, which shaped Syrians’ projections for the future, offering insights about possibilities and challenges in the future of Syria and the role different segments could play in the newly emerging governing structure. Part III contextualizes refugees within dual spatiality and multiple temporalities to elaborate on their becoming and show how their “becoming” as refugees is interlinked with the degree of here and there along with past and future in their articulations, which informs their present.
