| Summary: | When men migrate from Venezuela for survival, they bring with them a forming political self related to local daily encounters with threatening political practices in their country of origin and through transit countries. The political self is formed in interpersonal interactions in the pursuit to sustain life even as trust has been eroded. Increased attention to lived experience within survival migration brings together migration studies, political science, and psychodynamic theories related to violence and trust. Drawing from pastoral care encounters in Ecuador, the article provides a nascent construct on the political self that influences men in terms of their own sense of care, responsibility, and personhood. |
