From 'aidland' to 'homeland': what the lived experiences of Ukrainian crisis leaders indicate about humanitarian response
No full textAbstractReform of the international humanitarian system has stagnated, and commitment to localise power and resources has not eventuated. This research, specifically on the Ukraine humanitarian response, draws on anthropology's exploration of aidnographies, focusing on the oft‐overlooked role of aid workers; however, it offers an explicitly place‐based, grounded approach to Ukrainian crisis leaders' and responders' lived realities, decentring international ‘aidlanders’. We deploy the concept of ‘homeland’ as an explicit counterpoint to ‘aidland’ to portray the dilemmas, tensions, and contradictions of the international system from below. The study employs an actor‐oriented qualitative approach to examine the experiences of Ukrainian humanitarians. Semi‐structured interviews with 32 such individuals provide situated, contextual, time‐bound, and frequently deeply personal stories. Our respondents demonstrate the potential for international guests to adopt a ‘homeland’ sensibility, foregrounding a need to locate policy, procedures, actions, and decision‐making within an equitable, fair, and place‐based setting, responsive rather than controlling, and embedded in relevant contextual priorities, knowledge, and practices
Buying Time: Incurable Prognosis, Temporal Uncertainty and the Costs of Metastatic Breast Cancer
No full textABSTRACT
Understandings of living well with incurable, life‐limiting disease are limited. This article examines how living with a ‘contracted future’, albeit of uncertain duration, affects how one
spends time
(wisely) in the present and plans future time. Mobilising the concept of timescapes and interviews with women with metastatic breast cancer, we examined how an incurable prognosis shaped how women experienced time, what meanings they ascribed to time and at what cost. Thematic analysis derived five themes: ‘quality time’—the imperative to spend time well; ‘out‐of‐sync timing’—experiencing temporal disconnect with others; ‘making time’—motivation to extend their time through treatments; ‘time mis/calculations’—planning amid uncertain certainty; and ‘the tempo of living beyond prognosis’—responding to initial contraction and subsequent expansion of temporal horizons. Our analyses reveal how pressures to
live well, die well
and be
remembered well
complicated women's experiences of how to
be
in the present and future, incurring substantial social and economic costs. We illuminate how the quest for improved quality of life and extended longevity can result in emotional and financial precarity, experienced most profoundly by those with limited economic resources, revealing the economic and social factors that shape how time is spent well by those with metastatic disease
