Keywords, Keywording, and European Irregularized Migration Regime at/on the Peripheries
The article introduces the special issue Keywording the European Irregularized Migration Regime: Reflections from/on the Peripheries. It maps the itineraries of “keywords” from their origins as an introductory reading framework to their development into a distinct methodological approach. The analysis traces the conceptual journey from Raymond Williams’s seminal work Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society (1976) to their contemporary uses.…
El Shatt
From early 1944 until 1946, more than 25,000 refugees from Yugoslavia, mostly from the Dalmatian coast and islands, stayed in refugee camps in Egypt at El Shatt. Located on the shores of the Suez Canal, this complex of tented camps on desert sands was jointly run by the British military, Yugoslav Partisans and international humanitarian organizations. After the war, most of the refugees returned to their homes and only a five-pointed star-shaped …

Popisi, brojevi, ljudi

Data on border deaths, presented separately or alongside figures on border length, the number of border crossings, irregular crossings, asylum seekers, or smugglers, are often part of the repertoire of contemporary media representations of irregularised migr…
Passing by In/Visibly
The Balkan refugee corridor was active in 2015 and 2016 in order to facilitate and control the movement of refugees towards their destination countries in the EU. In this article, the Slavonski Brod camp, a kind of obligatory stopover in the Croatian section of the Balkan corridor, is approached as a site where the concept of a “lone child” in migration was defined and re-defined in practice. After presenting a short overview of the corridor and …

Lowbrow Skepticism or Highbrow Rationalism? (Anti)Legends in 19th-Century Croatian Primers Pučki skepticizam ili elitni racionalizam? (Anti)predaje u hrvatskim početnicama 19. stoljeća
The article discusses one of the numerous intersections of orality and literacy in the long 19th century in Croatian society. More specifically, it focuses on the orality of Croatian primers published from 1779 until the start of World War I and the issue of the primers’ implementation of narratives which are today considered characteristic of oral communication and labeled as pseudo-, negative-, anti-legends (Dégh & Vázsonyi 1976). Looking into …
