DESCRIPTION:This talk concerns living experiences of ageing\, transnational
  family care\, and border regimes in the context of displacement. Drawing 
 from multi-sited ethnographic research among the East Timorese\, I discuss
  how older adults cope with family separation and life in exile\, their as
 pirations\, when and how transnational care becomes ‘on hold’\, and ho
 w they deal with the impossibility of meeting intergenerational and cultur
 al obligations. The talk examines care through the lens of ‘circulation
 ’ and attends to the asymmetries entailed in intergenerational relations
 hips and border regimes in the waysthey shape (and are shaped by) transnat
 ional care exchanges. In the context of ‘ageing in exile’\, it is esse
 ntial to understand older people’s narratives as they are linked with th
 e ambivalences of other family members across generations. Forms of immobi
 lity withholding or limiting care can transcend physical borders\, includi
 ng the social and emotional boundaries conflict-divided communities build 
 against one another over time. These imaginary borders require us to think
  about how precarious familial relations affect understandings of transnat
 ional care amid enduring legacies of violence.
