DESCRIPTION:The seminar analyses displacement as a process consisting of 
 coercive disruptions. It questions the prevalent conflation of displacem
 ent\, forced displacement\, and forced migration. In doing so\, it explo
 res the multiple permutations of displacement as they relate to social i
 dentities – including class\, gender\, and religious affiliation – along
 side strategies of evasion and resistance. It discusses ‘blind spots’ in
  the ability of Refugee Agencies and scholars to identify and address di
 splacement on small but crucial scales – such as between neighbourhoods 
 of cities undergoing shifting tides of urban conflict. The analysis demo
 nstrates that the coercive processes of disruption that constitute displ
 acement can additionally generate forced immobility\, exerting extreme c
 onstraints upon individuals who are unable to relocate. The discussion c
 ites examples from occupied Iraq\, based both on in-depth interviews wit
 h displaced Iraqis in Damascus (2010-11) and extensive fieldwork in Bagh
 dad (2016-2019).
