Institutional care across borders
Based on fieldwork in care homes in Silesia, Poland, and the former Sudetenland in the Czech Republic, we analyze how institutional care can re-articulate contested pasts, and how care relocation from Germany makes this capacity visible. Drawing on Koselleck’s notion of “historical sediments,” we show how pasts become repercussive beyond linear causality as layered relations that surface through co-presence, language regimes, and the practical or…
Care Outsourcing From Germany to Central and Eastern Europe
The transnational care market in Europe is commonly understood as the migration of (mostly) female care workers from East to West. Less attention has been paid to a reverse mobility: older persons relocating from West to East in search of more affordable care. This article presents research on care homes in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary that cater both to local, relatively wealthy seniors and to clients from Germany who move t…
Moving to Hungary in later life
How to meet care and housing needs in later life has increasingly become a transnational topic, be it in the context of care worker migration or the migration of seniors themselves. This paper examines processes of relocation to and within an assisted living facility in Hungary that targets mainly German and Swiss clients who had either lived in Hungary before or moved to the facility directly from their home countries. The facility offers senior…
Researching Words without Speaking Them. Language as Care Practice in Multi-Lingual Care Environments in Poland
Being able to speak and understand local languages is regarded as an important prerequisite for conducting fieldwork. In this article we reflect on fieldwork in which we did not speak the local language - Polish - but in which we could still learn something about a central practice in our field sites: how language was implicated in practices of care. Hanging out as linguistically constricted researchers propelled us to research situations in whic…
Learning in Collaborative Moments
In this article, we describe experiences with dialogue evenings within a research collaboration on long-term care and dementia in the Netherlands. What started as a conventional process of ‘reporting back’ to interlocutors transformed over the course of two years into learning and knowing together. We argue that learning took place in three different articulations. First, participants learnt to expand their notion of knowledge. Second, they learn…
Claiming citizenship rights through the body multiple
What have affirmative action policies, categorization of care needs, plastic surgery, forensic identification of dead bodies and age assessments of refugees in common? They all determine recognition and access to resources and rights via the body. In the introduction to this special issue, the editors emphasize that the body only becomes distinct and significant when it is put in relation to historically and geographically differing norms and sta…
Speaking from the blind spot
To become classified as disabled opens up the possibility to access resources. At the same time, it fixes multiple and idiosyncratic experiences of impairment into a circumscribed status of different and lesser. In this article I am thinking about the contradictory nature of classification and citizenship with the complex case of Miriam, a Ghanaian woman who moved to the UK to study. Miriam suffered from increasing impairment of her sight due to …
Introduction
Is Superdiversity a Useful Concept in European Medical Sociology
Medical sociology has a poor track record of researching diversity in theoretically innovative ways. This paper notes usage of the term superdiversity in migration and urban studies, to ask about its utility in general and more specifically for researching the social production of health and illness. Referring to a multi-country interview study about healthcare seeking strategies, the need to understand the diversification of diversity and the ch…
Hodological Care among Ghanaian Pentecostals
The nexus between Pentecostalism and migration has been studied extensively and in divergent terms. One line of research has looked at churches founded by migrants as home away from home, helping migrants to settle in a new place and at the same time connecting them back to where they came from. Another strand has rather highlighted incorporation into a global Christendom and engagement in global spiritual warfare. Whereas the first line of resea…

Pharmaceutical Potentials
As shown by research on “the social life of medicines,” pharmaceuticals can be used in a number of ways. Based on research with Ghanaian Pentecostal practitioners and patients in Ghana and Europe, I examine how pills and substances can become points of contact for God. By being prayed upon, pills move from being a medical commodity to becoming a boundary object in the connection created between a sickness, biomedical practices, and the Holy Spiri…
Pathways to care
The recently developed sociological concept of superdiversity provides a potentially interesting and useful way of developing an understanding of life in contemporary Europe. Here we report on research based on individual narratives about access to health care, as described by a range of people from very different sociocultural backgrounds in four European countries. This article notes the frequent appearance in first-person narratives of the nee…
Space in Pentecostal Healing Practices among Ghanaian Migrants in London
In this article I analyze different spatial practices related to Pentecostal healing, drawing on fieldwork with Pentecostal believers who have migrated from Ghana to London, UK. I explore the relationship between space and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit by looking at how points of contact with the divine are created in the personal life of people and at the sites where the casting out of demons takes place. Unlike in other spirit-centered h…

Thinking through Political Subjectivity
In the introduction to this special volume the editors focus on the analytical value of "political subjectivities" in emergent social fields that are characterized by multiple diasporic overlaps. They emphasize the central role played by various forms of governance in producing, confirming and contesting politics of transnational incorporation and diasporic participation and consider how these political projects often target members of historical…
Cosmopolitan charismatics? Transnational ways of belonging and cosmopolitan moments in the religious practice of New Mission Churches
During the 1990s, migrants from West Africa developed New Pentecostal Mission Churches as they settled in European metropoles. These churches are characterized by intense transnational connections and aim to incorporate their members into a global Christendom. Focusing on the Christian Church Outreach Mission International (CCOMI), a church founded by Ghanaians in Hamburg, this article explores when and how transnational competences, and interact…

Transnational Therapy Networks among Ghanaians in London
This article brings together ideas from medical anthropology on so-called medical pluralism, and a transnational lens in migration studies. It examines how legal status, transnational networks and religion interrelate in health practices among Ghanaians living in London. It provides an overview of the settlement of Ghanaians in London since the 1960s, and shows how transnational linkages have increased since then. It further demonstrates the stro…
