abstract="The paper analyses four different perspectives on well-being: the medical viewpoint and the hegemony of trauma, the cultural approach and the balance of social, spiritual and natural realms, the psycho-social position and the scrutiny of the social environment, and multi-levelled ecological models that integrate multiple layers. The paper advocates a shift away from analyses of localities/phases/contexts and well-being towards those of processes, predicated on the separation of physical dis(re)-locations from psychological dis(em)-placements. When examining processes and negotiations with life events, of which displacement is one, well-being is understood as a process of being 'of' rather than being 'in'.<p />",
