Child Marriage in Conflict-Affected Yemen: Girls and Community Members Speak Out on the Drivers
Resilience and Resistance: An Anti-Exceptionalist Perspective on Yemeni Political Struggles
“Women” as a group of people and an analytical category has long been treated from an exceptionalist perspective. Not long ago, it was customary to write a country’s political history only through men’s eyes, with women as a short mention in the index. In Middle Eastern Studies, this custom was accelerated by the self-imposed belief that male scholars cannot study women or that women “belong” to an imaginary “private sphere,” fully disconnected f…
Culture, Suicide, and the Human Condition
Suicide is a puzzling phenomenon. Not only is its demarcation problematic but it also eludes simple explanation. The cultures in which suicide mortality is high do not necessarily have much else in common, and neither is a single mental illness such as depression sufficient to lead a person to suicide. In a word, despite its statistical regularity, suicide is unpredictable on the individual level. The main argument emerging from this collection i…

Introduction: The Middle Eastern Family Revisited
The Incomplete Family: Ethnographic Explorations on Domestic Relations in Aden
With the support of ethnographic material from Aden (Yemen), this chapter explores untypical family forms and residential patterns that break the normative conventions as regulated in law and reproduced in popular morality discourses. With material that extends from the late colonial era to the early 2000s, the chapter scrutinizes domestic relations in regards to the background of changes in family regulation (law and legal practice) during the c…

Segregation, Illegitimate Encounters and Contextual Moralities: Sexualities in the Changing Public Sphere in Aden
This article asks what new things can be learned about the public sphere when looking at sexualities. In this ethnographic study on the Yemeni port town of Aden, at focus are institutions that organise sexualities, such as segregation, and agency indicative to a particular public sphere. The article is centred upon the following question: how do 'ordinary' (i.e. non-activist) women participate in making the public sphere? By comparing three diffe…
