As an analytical framework, these concepts intertwine with space, time and violence, while also accounting for how the structural and subjective shape both inner and outer worlds. The article is based on longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork among young Afghan men who have sought refuge in France after being refused asylum in Sweden and Norway. It considers the bordering effects of legal adulthood (i.e. turning 18) and how finding the way in various contexts of being settled and unsettled redefines what it means to become an adult. The young men's experiences were shaped by their orientation in relation to numerous bordering processes as well as self-making and life-building activities. Moreover, they were deeply affected by the varying ways in which European countries assess Afghan asylum seekers' protection needs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Ethnic & Migration Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
