Translocal Care across Kosovo’s Borders
In today’s globalized world, where the foundations of home and social security are destabilized due to wars and neoliberal transformations, the villagers of Kosovo are linked with a common locality despite living across borders. By tracing long-distant family relations with a special focus on cross-border marriages, this study looks at the reconfiguration of care relations, gender and generational roles among kin-members of Kosovo, who now live in different European states.
Gentrifications
Offering an original discussion of the gentrification phenomenon in Europe, this book provides new theoretical insights into classical works on the subject. Using a thorough analysis of the diversity of the forms, places and actors of gentrification in an attempt to isolate its ‘DNA’, the book addresses the place of social groups in cities, their competition over the appropriation of space, the infrastructure unequally offered to them by economic and political actors and the stakes of everyday social relationships.
Locating the Mediterranean
Until today, anthropological studies of locality have taken primary interest in local subjects leading local lives in local communities. Through a shift of conceptual emphasis from locality to location, the present volume departs from previous preoccupations with identity and belonging. Instead, Locating the Mediterranean brings together ethnographic examinations of processes that make locations and render them meaningful. In doing so, it stimulates debates on the interplay between location and region-making in history as well as anthropology. The volume’s deeply empirical contributions illustrate how historical, material, legal, religious, economic, political, and social connections and s...

Cities and Immigration
All over the world immigration is one of the most urgent political issues, creating tensions and unrest as well as questions of justice and fairness. Academics as well as politicians have been relating to the question of how states should cope with immigrants; but 96% of immigrants end up in cities, and in Europe and the USA, two thirds of the immigrants settle in seven or eight cities. Indeed, most of us encounter with immigrants as city-zens, in our everyday life, rather than as citizens of states. So how should cities integrate immigrants? Should cities be allowed to design their autonomous integration policies? Could they issue visas and permits to immigrants? Should immigrants be grante...
How Pandemics Shape the Metropolitan Space
This book examines the impact of the recent global health crisis on the urban development of Vienna and Tokyo. Contributions from fields such as regional, landscape, or transport planning as well as urban sociology and cultural anthropology illustrate that, in these capitals, the effects of the pandemic on urban space have been both immediate and long-term. At the same time, they show that historical and cultural contexts influence the way cities have dealt with the challenges posed by COVID-19.
Démobiliser les quartiers
Si les quartiers populaires ne sont pas des déserts politiques, l'action collective y demeure fragile et fragmentée et n’a pu se constituer en mouvement social d’ampleur. Pour comprendre ce phénomène, ce livre se concentre sur les pratiques des pouvoirs publics qui contribuent à entraver ces mobilisations : disqualification des militant∙e∙s ...
L’organisation à l’épreuve des makers. Propositions pour une approche par les événements
Le mouvement des makers est représentatif des évolutions qui modifient profondément le travail et les modes d’organisation. Composé principalement de travailleurs indépendants dont le métier consiste à produire des objets innovants à la frontière du design, de l’artisanat et des nouvelles technologies, ce mouvement remet en question ce que l’on appelle une organisation et les finalités des activités professionnelles. Phénomène évolutif, sans frontières prédéterminées, engageant la société tout entière, les activités des makers donnent à voir des modes d’organisation qui ne se résument plus à une entreprise ou une administration. Ce phénomène interpelle car ...
