Homing social housing in Brussels: Engagements in architectural anthropology through three visualisations
Architectural anthropology offers a way to critically analyse spaces through the social life that happens around them. It is a qualitative approach that relies on ethnography to connect larger systems and subjective dimensions, self-reflexivity, and the use of visualisations as a key analytical tool. This paper reflects on the possible contribution of architectural anthropology to housing studies. More specifically, it looks at homing processes i…
Strategic Cosmopolitanism: Chinese Female Jadeite Live Streamers in Ruili
With China's construction of free trade zones and the development of digital technology, immigrants from Myanmar and internal migrants from all parts of China have gathered in Ruili, a cross-border hub connecting the two countries.

Work, Life, and Identity Negotiation in a Foreign Land: A Study of Taiwanese Working Holiday Makers in Belgium
This study examined the living and working experiences of 14 Taiwanese working holiday makers (WHMs) in Belgium as they negotiate their identity and social lives while they live overseas, using both participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The study demonstrates that the low salary level and high work pressure in Taiwan are two of the major factors pushing these young Taiwanese to leave their homeland and work overseas. However, th…
Migration-led Regeneration
It is timely to reopen the discussion on inequalities in connection with migration-related processes. Our special issue might be a first step in shedding more light on this issue which had all but vanished at the discourse level but that has not ceased to exist. It presents an international and interdisciplinary selection of scholars that are concerned with questions of urban transformation, diversity and inequality

Mei nu, mei nu, tai gui le!’: To use or not to use Chinese language in Beijing's Silk Market
This article discusses the shopping experience of international language students theorized as an intercultural exchange and encounter in the Silk Street Market, Beijing. In this interaction the bargaining ritual constitutes the core activity. Students perform with varying degrees of success on this bargaining ritual, making use not only of their language knowledge of Chinese but also of their understanding of the language of the marketplace. The…
Cosmopolitanism, mobility and transformation: Internal migrant women in Beijing's Silk Street Market
This paper explores the transformative process of female vendors in the Silk Street Market, Beijing. They are female internal migrants hailing from a wide range of provinces including Anhui, Heilongjiang, Zhejiang and the city of Shanghai. The Silk Street Market has undergone a transformation beyond recognition from a makeshift open air market into an iconic place of modern Beijing located in the Central Business District. This global-meet-local …
Managing multi-mobility and multi-layered identity in China: How ethnic Chinese-Venezuelan returnees cope with Chinese language, culture and identity
An increasing number of ethnic Chinese students born in Venezuela return to mainland China each year to study the language of their ancestors, Mandarin. This article examines how they expose themselves to multiple discourses of ‘identity’, develop a reflexive strategy to cope with a multi-layered identity and act out their identity in China. In order to do so three core topics – culture, language, and identity will be analyzed and elucidated. In …

Negotiating identity in contemporary Japan: The case of kikokushijo
The problem of Japanese identity has been the core object of study in the discourse of Japanese culture. This work investigates changes in the Japanese ethnonational identity, as an outcome of the interplay among different processes in the transnational cultural flow, through a case study of the kikokushijo or 'returnees', children of expatriate parents who grew up abroad. While previous studies have seen 'returnees' as disrupted from Japanese so…
