In this paper I am interested in what claims of normalcy and the remaking of normal life signify for people affected by conflict and displacement. I will first consider discussions of normalcy with regards to Kashmiris in the Kashmir valley. While the conflict is understood in terms of competing South Asian nationalisms, I situate ‘normalcy’ in relation to contemporary studies of conflict and neo-liberalism.
