Résumé

With a focus on the productive tensions of displace
ments and agency, this article discusses archival traces of inti
macy and tactics of space-making that mobilize queer Asian
men in the diaspora. The theoretical considerations and ethno
graphic examples offered highlight how ephemeral experiences
of sociality and belonging reveal the persistent labour of recon
stituting the lifeworlds of queer Asian migrant subjects against
displacements—from city streets, to a video website, to a com
muter train, to a night market—and argues for a rethinking
of the meaning of politics in mobilities research through the
modalities of survival and mobilities-in-difference.
