| Title | Understanding protracted displacement through the analysis of an IDP camp in North Darfur |
| Summary | The thesis critically engages with the conceptualization of internal displacement by providing a historical and analytical perspective into the transformative nature of protracted displacement in terms of identity, space, time, economy and relations, through the case study of Zamzam IDP camp in North Darfur. The analysis draws on a growing body of literature that challenges these issues and highlight the ''camp'' as distinctive experience of displacement that has contributed to this growing phenomenon. At the forefront is the ongoing debate of the effect of the camp on what Agamben describes as the ''bare life'' or on Malkki's ''political subjectivities'', with a general understanding of displacement in the ''rel ational'&# x27; manner that Amanda Hammar proposes. The conclusion confirms the complexity of displacement as a process of continuous transformations, and proposes that further humanitarian assistance could benefit from this knowledge. |
