In particular, it looks at how the term saudade helps mobile people to manage friction without falling back into such binaries. The Oxford English Dictionary defines saudade as a desire \u2018for something\u2019 and describes it as a characteristic of the \u2018Portuguese or Brazilian\u2019 people. Here, we shall attend however to the saudade evoked by Venezuelans and Warao (defined by the same dictionary as \u2018members of a South American Indian people inhabiting Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela\u2019). This article patterns a contrast between two ways of evoking the term in comments about movement made by my informants: the first, Precise Saudade, asks for precision about that of which people feel saudade. The second way of evoking the term, Vague Saudade, is, as its name suggests, more comfortable with being vague. The argument put forward by this article is that scholarly and policy texts on \u2018migrants\u2019, \u2018nomads\u2019 and \u2018refugees\u2019 need to make more room for Vague Saudade when translating the talk of wayfarers. It may be tempting to dismiss vagueness as showing ambiguity and imprecision. Yet, as the stories that follow are meant to highlight, Vague Saudade can be useful to wayfarers in several ways: to engage in care, to protect others, to protect themselves and to engage in conversations about alternative worlds. To grant monopoly to Precise Saudade, it is argued, risks hindering wayfarers\u2019 ability to do these things. I find this is relevant to how we translate wayfarers, and I suggest it is also germane to how we translate in research. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0038026120905472","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,6]],"date-time":"2020-04-06T08:19:02Z","timestamp":1586161142000},"page":"287-304","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Moving on with <i>saudade<\/i>: On bordered countries and vague terms"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Bruno","family":"Magalh\u00e3es","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pontif\u00edcia Universidade Cat\u00f3lica do Rio de Janeiro [Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro], Brazil"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0038026120905472","unstructured":"Associated French Press.
