Visual Methodology in Migration Studies
This open access book explores the use of visual methods in migration studies through a combination of theoretical analyses and empirical studies. The first section looks at how various visual methods, including photography, film, and mental maps, may be used to analyse the spatial presence of migrants. The second section addresses the processual building of narratives around migration, thereby using formats such as film and visual essay, and reflecting upon the ways they become carriers and mediators of both story and theory within the subject of migration. Section three focuses on vulnerable communities and discusses how visual methods can empower these communities, thereby also focusing o...
Gender and Consumption
Drawing upon anthropological, sociological and historical perspectives, this volume provides a unique insight into women’s domestic consumption. The contributors argue that domestic consumption represents an important lens through which to examine the everyday production and reproduction of socio-economic relations. Through a variety of case studies (such as gambling, wedding day consumption and bedroom décor), the essays explore and reconsider the nature of public and private spaces, and the subsequent nature of domestic space - often by challenging traditional notions of what constitutes ’the domestic’. The volume demonstrates the broad range of experiences that domestic consumption offers women and reveals some of the complex meanings and motivations underpinning women’s consumption practices.
Het gemankeerde (t)huis
Het gemankeerde (t)huis is een visueel antropologische studie van de woonpraktijken van zelfstandig wonende ouderen in Brussel. Aan de hand van interviews en fotografische reportages onderzoekt het boek hoe ouderen hun alledaagse leefwereld structureren en vormgeven, en daarmee inspelen op lichamelijke en geestelijke beperkingen en obstakels in de woning en de publieke ruimte van de stad. Welke coping-strategieën hanteren ouderen om hun woonomgeving leefbaar en werkzaam te maken? Welke betekenissen kennen oudere mensen toe aan hun woning en woonomgeving? Het boek gaat over concrete praktijken van toe-eigening waarmee ouderen hun woonomgeving inrichten en tot thuis maken. Hoe zij hun boodschappen doen, waar en hoe zij eten, hoe zij met fysieke obstakels omgaan, hoe zij sociale netwerken vormen en hoe hun alledaagse leefwereld zich verhoudt tot die van instituties en professionele hulpverleners. Dit beeldboek heeft als intentie een fijnmaziger inzicht in de zintuiglijke leefwereld van ouderen te verwerven door de alledaagse woonomgeving vanuit hun perspectief te bekijken, door met hen om de tafel te zitten en op pad te gaan.

New Lives in Anand
Investigates how a rural town became a site of community-making, mobility, and identity formation In 2002 widespread communal violence tore apart hundreds of towns and villages in rural parts of Gujarat, India. In the aftermath, many Muslims living in Hindu-majority villages sought safety in the small town of Anand, some relocating with the financial assistance of their relatives overseas. Following such dramatic displacement and disorientation, Anand emerged as a site of opportunity and hope. For its residents and transnational visitors, Anand’s Muslim area is not just a site of marginalization; it has become an important focal point and regional center from which they can participate in ...
