Experiencing Ruptures in Migration – The Ordinary and Unexpected Journeys of Global Migrants
This book aims to portray migratory experiences, documented in the form of biographical narratives. We are interested in the dynamic aspect of migration, which effectively becomes a complex trajectory, made up of stages, returns, and circulations and no longer simply, as in the industrial era, a bipolar exile (there and here). In these complex and dynamic movements, many trajectories become bifurcations, by which we mean shifting fates. In these stories we found paths, events, and bifurcations, all combined together, in terms of biographical construction based on accumulated experiences. These narratives are both very banal and very unusual journeys, portraying a new international human glob...
Seasonal Workers in Mediterranean Agriculture
Over the last three decades there has been a rapid expansion of intensive production of fresh fruit and vegetables in the Mediterranean regions of south and west Europe. Much of this depends on migrating workers for seasonal labour, including from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Latin America. This book is the first to address global agro-migration complexes across the region. It is argued that both intensive agricultural production and related working conditions are highly dynamic. Regional patterns have developed from small-scale family farming to become an industrialized part of the global agri-food system, which increasingly depends on seasonal labour. Simultaneously, consumer demand fo...
The Politics of Alterity
Is France afraid of her others? By looking back at the discourses and practices that have been formed over the last fifteen years, Sarah Mazouz addresses French politics of alterity. Drawing on an ethnographic survey conducted in both public administrations in charge of combating racial discrimination and in naturalisation offices in a large city in the Paris region, she shows how immigration, nation, and racialisation are articulated in the social space. Through the analysis of these two public offices, Mazouz questions the processes of inclusion and exclusion within the national group itself and between the national and the foreigner. In so doing, she seeks to grasp the paradoxical relationship between the French Republic and her others and the plural logics producing national order.
Migration Patterns Across the Mediterranean
With contributions from leading scholars in Southern Europe, this compelling book demonstrates the plurality of migratory circumstances and analyses the significance of the Mediterranean migration model. Highlighting the challenges of studying the variability and heterogeneity of migratory patterns in the Mediterranean, this insightful book provides a comprehensive examination of the variations of spatial-temporal scales and sedimentation of different migratory configurations.
Waiting on Empire
The expansion of the British Empire facilitated movement across the globe for both the colonizers and the colonized. Waiting on Empire focuses on a largely forgotten group in this story of movement and migration: South Asian travelling ayahs (servants and nannies), who travelled between India and Britain and often found themselves destitute in Britain as they struggled to find their way home to South Asia. Delving into the stories of individual ayahs from a wide range of sources, Arunima Datta illuminates their brave struggle to assert their rights, showing how ayahs negotiated their precarious employment conditions, capitalized on social sympathy amongst some sections of the British populat...
Essays on Philosophy and Religious Studies
Analecta Bruxellensia has been since 1996 the annual review of the Protestant Faculties of Theology and Religious Studies (FUTP (French) and FPTR (Dutch)) in Brussels. Analecta 21 is a varied number. Three themes are developed covering exegetical, historical, sociological, theological and philosophical fields. The first explores hermeneutics related to the understanding and assimilation of the biblical text; the second addresses the weight of ideology in the construction of narratives invoked in the representation of the Other; the third pursues this theme of encounter and otherness in various historical perspectives. From a queer exegesis of the narrative of Acts 8 to the question of the extent of Christ's salvation in the hypothesis of inhabited worlds in science fiction literature, the eclecticism of these academic contributions, as well as their relevance to contemporary debates, promise the reader multiple changes of scenery and genuinely new thinking. This issue also includes a previously unpublished contribution by Paul Ricur, a restitution of a three-speaker conference given in January 2000 on the theme of justice between ethics and law.
The Bureaucratization of the World in the Neoliberal Era
Contemporary bureaucracy is a set of norms, rules, procedures, and formalities which includes administration, business, and NGOs. Where Max Weber meets Michel Foucault, Béatrice Hibou analyzes the political dynamics underlying this process. Neoliberal bureaucracy is a vector of discipline and control, producing social and political indifference.
La société est en nous
Comment devenons-nous ce que nous sommes ? De quoi héritons-nous exactement ? Choisissons-nous vraiment nos relations, ou est-ce l’inverse ? Autant de questions que la sociologie n’a cessé de se poser, à rebours de la vogue du développement personnel et des manuels qui confondent compréhension de soi et magie de l’auto-persuasion. Dans ce nouvel ouvrage, Wilfried Lignier suit les principales étapes de la genèse sociale d’une personne, c’est-à-dire la manière dont les institutions et les interactions forment progressivement notre intériorité. L’auteur discute et réélabore ainsi les concepts d’« habitus », de « reproduction », de« socialisation », ou d’« inc...
Une anthropologie de l’éthique entrepreneuriale
Cet ouvrage collectif a pour objectif de discuter la notion d’éthique dans le champ de l’anthropologie de l’entreprise en s’appuyant sur une pluralité de cas ethnographiques. Sans porter un regard sur la pertinence de la morale ou de l’éthique dans les entreprises, c’est-à-dire l’inscription de leur activité dans la catégorie du « bien commun », ce livre veut s’arrêter sur l’éthique entrepreneuriale sous ses multiples déclinaisons. Dans certains cas en effet, l’éthique devient un produit de l’entreprise visant à promouvoir son image et marquer sa singularité dans un espace concurrentiel (marchandisation). Dans d’autres cas, l’éthique est appréhendée...
