Compromised values: A comparative response during the Covid-19 crisis by ethical vegans and vegetarians
Animal advocacy is a complex phenomenon. As a social movement encompassing diverse moral stances and lifestyle choices, veganism and vegetarianism (veg*) are at its core, and animal testing raises as a notably contentious issue within its members. This paper addresses this critical topic. Employing data from an international quantitative survey conducted between June and July 2021, our research explores how ethical vegans and vegetarians responde…
Struggling in pandemic times: Migrant women's virtual political organization during the Covid ‐19 crisis in Spain
During the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain, the lockdowns brought about the loss of labour and social rights for many migrant women working in highly informal employment sectors. Drawing on digital ethnography, this article examines the role of migrant women in political mobilization within migrant associations during 2020 in Spain, when online interactions assumed primary importance. First, it shows how migrant organizations create bricolage by combi…
The Reconfiguration of Nationalist Movements in a Context of Crisis: Evidence from the Case of Catalonia
Most theories on nationalism have rested on the assumption that nationalism was related to the nation-state as the main holder of power in our time. It sought to endorse or question its boundaries, but never the legitimacy of the model. Both state nationalists and ethnonationalists shared an understanding of citizenship as a belonging nexus and as a foundation of rights. However, the current processes of globalization and social breakdown driven …

Re-writing the domestic role: Transnational migrants’ households between informal and formal social protection in Ecuador and in Spain
Ecuadorian migration to Spain can be described as an emblematic case of feminization of international migration. As the scholarship showed, this migration flow has been shaped by transnational female social networks in which different types of capital circulate and which are re-produced across generations, providing social protection for people involved in them, both migrants and non-migrants. Starting from three ethnographic studies conducted wi…
Emerging Attitudes towards Nonhuman Animals among Spanish University Students
Attitudes towards nonhuman animals remain an interesting area of study, especially in non-English-speaking countries in which little research has been conducted. The present paper examines the attitudes of Spanish university students ( n = 481) towards 21 nonhuman animal uses and practices as well as attitudes towards human-animal similarities. To determine which variables might underlie those attitudes, this paper analyzes individual correlation…
The European Union and the Background of the Global Compacts
This article explores the influence of the European Union in shaping and promoting the discourse, theoretical bases and political practices that make up the Global Compact on Refugees and the Global Compact on Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration. It analyses the experiences and dynamics of European Union policies in its most recent history, and explores its operational, discursive and practical dimensions, focusing on the example of the EU's par…
Intensive agriculture under plastic in Andalusia (Spain): A production model in question
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Andalusian agriculture is at the centre of a confrontation between those who continue to define it, sheltered behind discourses on modernity, and those who argue its condition as an enclave economy. Our analysis shows, however, how the new scenario of a global agri-food system, bisected by discourses and practices related to ‘quality’, ‘safety’ and ‘sustainability’, has also impacted on the experience…

The article focuses on two case studies of migrant self-organisation networks: the Union Action Group of Berlin, Germany and the Solidarity Federation in Brigh…
Are universities ready for interculturality? The case of the Intercultural University 'Amawtay Wasi' (Ecuador)
This article focuses on the creation of the Intercultural University 'Amawtay Wasi' in 2003, and its evolution up until its final suspension from the university system in Ecuador. I reflect on the difficulty of implementing educational approaches based on locally situated cultural identities that involve epistemologies different from those which are hegemonic in academic spheres on the global level. From the point of view of the indigenous moveme…
The Institutionalization of Social Anthropology in Western Andalucía: A Struggle for a Decolonized Discipline
Animal Humanness, Animal Use, and Intention to Become Ethical Vegetarian or Ethical Vegan
The present study used relational and predictive approaches to build on past literature examining humanlike animal attributes. From the relational approach, it examined how five humanlike attributes ascribed to animals (Attributes Questionnaire) relate to one another and to attitudes toward 21 uses of animals (Attitudes Toward the Use of Animals Scale). From the predictive approach, it examined the predictive power of human affection toward anima…
Public spaces and immigration in Seville: Building Citizenship or Reproducing Power Relationships
Many studies have focused on the importance of immigrants participating in the public spaces of the cities where they have settled in order to become integrated. Our research, in contrast, demonstrates the importance of contextualizing participation within the framework of the power relationships that justify and give meaning to certain practices of discipline and control. We look at one concrete example in Seville (Spain): the regulation of the …
Latin American Immigration to Spain: Discourses and practices from ‘la madre patria’
On the whole, Latin American migration currently represents the highest percentage of migration into the Spanish state. This situation results from a series of factors, combined in both the points of origin and destination, and relating to the economic policies of the emitting and receiving countries within the framework of globalization. However, despite the way in which the phenomenon is portrayed by politicians and the media, this predominance…
