Exploring the lifeworlds of Halima, Omar and Mohamed, three
middle-aged Somalis living in Melbourne, Australia, the author
discusses the interrelated meanings of emplacement and displacement
as experienced in people's everyday lives. Through their
experiences of displacement and placemaking, Being-Here examines
the figure of the refugee as a metaphor for societal alienation and
estrangement, and moves anthropological theory towards a new
understanding of the crucial existential links between Sein (Being)
and Da (Here).
