Description
Summary:The asylum application imposes different forms of temporalities, which social workers have to deal with in order to accompany the people who are engaged in this procedure. When past, present and future overlap with institutional requirements and the criteria for obtaining protection, these professionals must absorb and teach the imperatives of actualizing fear and feelings to the persons they accompany. However, on a daily basis, it is the waiting time and its impact on the lives of the asylum seekers that these social actors must work on. Making the present, which is stagnant and uncertain, useful again when idleness sets in, giving the applicants the opportunity to be more than asylum seekers, and to enter a process of identity reassertion. Nevertheless, time and its extension can also be a strategy in its own right, which some social workers use to help those who have been rejected from asylum.
