It is based on fieldwork conducted with different groups of Sri Lankan Tamil refugees and repatriates in and around Keezhputhupattu camp (Tamil Nadu), in Ceylon Quarter (Pondicherry) and in Chennai. No matter what their legal status is, they all position themselves on the refugee-citizen spectrum and, by doing so, they find themselves standing in-between its two opposed poles. From there they build their political subjectivities by negotiating, appropriating and sometimes rejecting Indian citizenship and Sri Lankan refugeehood. It is through their relationship to this position of in-betweenness that, we argue, citizenship, but also refugeehood, acquire new meanings.

Je suis également redevable à Charles Ramble, directeur d'études à l'EPHE, qui, le premier, m'a fait découvrir le monde des tibétologues, à Ajay Patnaik, professeur à la Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), qui n'a pas hésité à don ner de son temps pour rendre mon séjour en Inde le plus profitable possible, ainsi qu'à Heather Stoddard, professeur à l'INALCO, qui a grandement facilité mes recherches à Paris. Je remercie aussi vivement le service des publications de l'Institut de hautes études internationales et du développement pour son aide précieuse dans la préparation de ce livre. Je souhaite bien sûr exprimer toute ma gratitude aux réfugiés tibé tains que j'ai interrogés dans le cadre de mon enquête en Inde-leur coopération, évidemment, mais, plus que cela, leur bonne humeur et leur dévouement spontané ont rendu mes recherches sur le ter rain à la fois agréables et fructueuses. Je voudrais enfin remercier celles et ceux qui m'ont entourée et soutenue pendant toutes ces années-ils sont trop nombreux pour que je les passe en revue, mais j'ai tout de même une pensée parti culière pour Anouck et pour Christine, grâce à qui l'aventure de la thèse n'aura pas été une aventure solitaire. VII Sommaire Note de transcription du tibétain et du chinois XI Préface XIII XIV ouvert cet ouvrage, pour lequel je tiens à remercier AnneSophie Bentz de m'avoir demandé de le préfacer.

Without their precious insights and their communicative enthusiasm, this article would simply not exist. I would also like to thank the three anonymous reviewers for some highly valuable suggestions, which opened up new directions for thinking about the political mobilization of migrants. I am no less greatly indebted to the Institut Convergences Migrations (IC Migrations) for participating in the funding of my field research in Toronto in September-October 2019, and to the Unité de Recherches Migrations et Société (URMIS) for funding the editing in English of this article. 1 The first time I encountered the name Bhutila Karpoche was in the Tibetan settlement of Majnu-Ka-Tila (India) in January 2019. I was waiting for my lunch in a Tibetan restaurant when I came across an article entitled "First Tibetan, Bhutila Karpoche Wins Election in Canada" in an old issue of the Tibetan Journal. This caught my attention in the light of a planned fieldtrip to Toronto later that year to investigate the political mobilization of Tibetans. If I wanted to understand how Tibetans could enter into local politics in Canada, this is where I had to start. Bhutila Karpoche, the incumbent Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) for Parkdale-High Park, is a star not only in the more than 6,000-strong Tibetan community of Toronto (2016 Canadian Census), but for Tibetans across the world. She was also voted Toronto's Best Local Politician by Toronto Star readers, Toronto's Best MPP by NOW Magazine readers, and named one of Toronto's Most Inspirational Women of the year in 2019. 1 I requested an appointment with her and came to Toronto in September 2019 armed with the promise of "a tentative informal meet/chat" given by one of her assistants. 2 Further enquiries led me to Kalsang Dolma, who had been a candidate for council in Parkdale-High Park (Ward 4) during the Toronto Election in 2018. She did not win, but she is one of those Tibetans who tried to enter into local politics and, as such, her experience is also worthy of attention. During my fieldwork, which coincided with the

Method All the cases of ovarian cancer which were seen at our institute between January 2000 and December 2017 were reviewed. Data were analyzed with failure-free survival (FFS) as the primary end point. Results GCTs consisted of 2.66% of all ovarian cancers at our institute. The median age was 43 years. Majority of the patients (62.5%) were unstaged. Six patients (25%) had a fertility-preserving procedure. Forty two percent of the patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. Thirty eight percent of the patients developed recurrence. Considering tumor-related prognostic factors, there was a statistically significant decrease in FFS with the presence of hemorrhage (p ¼ < 0.001), larger tumors (p ¼ 0.042), and juvenile variant (p ¼ 0.002). On the contrary, when treatment-related factors were considered, there was no statistically significant improvement in FFS with the performance of lymphadenectomy (p ¼ 0.218), omentectomy (p ¼ 0.453), fertility sparing surgery (p ¼ 0.152), or administration of adjuvant chemotherapy (p ¼ 0.45). Conclusion Inherent tumor-related biological factors tend to play a more important role compared with treatment-related factors in GCTs. Hence, the traditional practice of performance of extensive staging procedures and routine adjuvant chemotherapy should be reviewed. Fertility-preserving surgery appears safe to be offered in early stages when desired. Although it is common knowledge that GCTs tend to be hemorrhagic tumors, this factor has not been well recognized as a prognostic indicator till date. Our study sheds some light on this aspect. Since these tumors have a tendency toward late recurrences, a long follow-up is prudent.
