On the move, together: Intimacy, the ‘elsewhere’ and the imagination of the future in Jinja (Uganda)
If You Wanna Go Fast You Go Alone, If You Wanna Go Far You Go Together: Emerging Political Subjectivities in the Intimate Lives of Young Men with Migratory Experience
This article investigates the formation of political subjectivity among young men with migratory experience in contemporary Sweden and how it unfolds in relation to the politicized context of migration and intimacy. By combining data derived from both ethnographic and participatory methods, the article explores young men’s intimate imagery, everyday relationality and experiences of being cast as outside ‘proper’ Swedishness. The article sheds lig…
Keeping culture clean: Nested redistribution’ as a path to moral redemption in Kampala (Uganda)

In this article, I explore the experiences of Ugandan men who became unable to provide under the national lockdown, often finding themselves confined in their homes for the first time in their life. I discuss two dimensions of this experience…
Like the Chicken and the Egg: Market Vendors and the Dilemmas of Neoliberal Urban Planning in Re-Centralised Kampala (Uganda)

Les émeutes de septembre 2009 en Ouganda
L’un des principaux défis de l’internationalisation de la cause des femmes réside dans la difficulté à penser sa pluralité, comme l’illustre l’insertion problématique des mouvements de femmes africains dans les réseaux internationaux. Étudier la participation de femmes maliennes aux activités autour de la cause des femmes organisées pendant le Forum Social Mondial de 2007 à Nairobi révèle certaines modalités de l’appropriation d’une cause interna…
