| Summary/Abstract |
The major contribution of this research is the analysis of chronic waiting of mobile subjects whose unclassifiability can neither situate them here nor there. Their undefinable political belongingness, spatial in-betweeness, alleged racial and ethnic impurity justifies the multi-modal and multi-axial forms of direct and indirect violence through extreme regulations, exceptional policies, brutality of police, border controls and profound exclusion of ordinary citizens. Illegalised border crossers’ encounter this ordeal as they challenge the sacramental aspect of border rituals becoming sacrificial subjects of the state. The justification of criminalising the travelling anti-citizens as security threats place visible and invisible borders that snare them into agonizing moments of waiting. This research focuses on the subaltern migrants experiencing abject precarity, vulnerability and uncertainty due to chronic waiting in the bureaucratic context of immigration controls and management. We drew upon migrants’ stories, informed by participatory principles, collected in different stages through short/preliminary surveys from Madrid (Spain) and Rome (Italy) conducted between 2013 and 2015. Their stories directed the conceptualisation of waiting as a salient feature of their everyday lives. Within the contemporary capitalist world order, marked by neoliberalism and militarism, the bureaucratically imposed conditions of waiting is political and intersectional, superimposed on citizenship, geography and history. In conclusion, we suggest, commoning, with its limitations, as a possibility to cope with the violence of waiting.

| Summary/Abstract |
On 17 April 1975 members of the Revolutionary Army of Kampuchea entered Phnom Penh. Their arrival marked the culmination of years of revolution fighting, and a civil war that was embedded within the larger Second Indochina War. The victory of the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK; better known as the Khmer Rouge) ushered a period of horrific proportions, as approximately one-quarter of Cambodia’s population died in less than four years. Roughly two million men, women, and children were killed either directly, by torture and execution, or indirectly, by disease, exhaustion or famine-related conditions.
