Afterword: Time is of the essence

Abstract

This Afterword to the Current Sociology Monograph on ‘Migrant Temporalities: Rethinking Migrant Trajectories and Transnational Lifestyles in the Asian Context’ reflects on how this issue adds fundamental insights to our understanding not only of migration, but also of time itself. Through these articles we gain a new appreciation of time in a multiplicity of forms: time as duration, time as discipline, time as politics, time as rhythm, time as flexible, time as suspension, time as liminal.
