Abstract: In coastal Vietnam, everyday lives and production processes are entwined with the seasonal rhythms and movement of plastics in waterways. This article explores how aquaculture farmers and fishers interpret encounters with aquatic plastics, and how their perceptions of these objects' spatial and temporal origins offer insights into their own discard practices. Through their repetitive movement, plastics become objects of 'non-belonging' and 'out of time', thus enabling a perception of incrementing relational, spatial, and temporal distance between the observer and the object. We argue that while the movement of plastics appears to connect different people, places, things, and times, plastics are perceived as objects of disconnect and blame, especially in the context of production where they impact economic activities and labor schedules, and their origin is traced to 'outsiders'.
