Transnational lives are not the exception but rather a reality of displaced peoples’  everyday lives. This became obvious in our research with refugees in Germany, in  which we used a figurational approach to better understand their situation and how they overcome protracted displacement. By focussing on the social constellations in displacement, a figurational approach can offer practitioners a new way to identify how to best support displaced people.
