TY - JOUR TI - “In the back of my mind, time always ticks one hour forward”: The transnational temporalities of Moldovan domestic workers in Italy T2 - Population, Space and Place AU - Cojocaru, O. PY - 2021 SN - 1544-8444 DO - 10.1002/psp.2406 UR - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/psp.2406 AB - This article analyses the temporalities of transnational living through a threefold frame: as an outlook, as a resource and as a qualitative experience. Drawing on data from interviews with Moldovan women who are domestic workers in Italy, I point to the time work employed by these labour migrants to navigate a multitude of timescapes derived from a (permanently) temporary status, precarious resources and the emotional ambivalence that arises from being away from their families. I show how migrants' envisioned temporariness of transnational living materialises into a time-bound outlook, which, in turn, compels them to manage time as a scarce resource, that has to be managed, planned and worked with. Lastly, I indicate that maintaining a temporary outlook correlates with a halting strategy and may have significant effects on personal and family well-being. ER -
