Presentación Número monográfico: Vivir en la montaña. Imaginarios, in/movilidades y sentido de pertenencia
Las regiones de montaña están experimentando profundos cambios estrechamente vinculados con la globalización de la economía y las prácticas neoliberales, que tienen el efecto de modificar, si bien de manera desigual, los tradicionales modelos de producción, el uso de la tierra y con ello, también, la composición de su población y sus estilos de vida. Este número monográfico pretende ser un aporte a las reflexiones actuales sobre las maneras de vi…
Presentation Special Issue: Living in the Mountains. Reframing Imaginaries, Im/mobilities and Sense of Belonging
Mountain regions are undergoing rapid changes, closely intertwined with economic globalisation and neoliberal practices, which modify their production models, land use, population, and lifestyles in unexpected ways. This Special Issue aims to reflect upon ways of living in mountain areas today, taking an innovative stance and a reflexive approach. This Issue examines mountain life from the perspective of the production of locality, being a matter…
For the love of risk ? When Local Inhabitants' and Outsiders' Imaginaries Match: The Case of the Verbier Resort in the Swiss Alps
This article focuses on a mountain region in the Swiss Alps that has built an international name for itself since the 1960s upon a specific ski resort, Verbier. From the very beginning, the locals involved in the development of the place were risk-takers, revealing an entrepreneurial spirit that lasts up until now. Over time, the mountain resort has attracted outsiders who share a taste for risk-taking, not only in the field of sport but also in …
À l’aise, ici et ailleurs. Mobilités multirésidentielles en zone de montagne: Le cas de Verbier en Suisse
Cet article analyse les modes de vie mobiles d’individus privilégiés ayant adopté un mode de vie multirésidentiel dans une station renommée des Alpes suisses : Verbier. D’un côté, les nouvelles formes de mobilité dans le travail, l’habitat et les loisirs brouillent les frontières classiques entre vie privée et vie professionnelle, ici et ailleurs, hôte et visiteur. De l’autre, elles s’érigent en signe de prestige, reproduisant des distinctions de…
Introduction: Bureaucratic Routes to Migration: Migrants' Lived Experience of Paperwork, Clerks, and Other Immigration Intermediaries
For a number of migrant actors, bureaucratic processes related to immigration constitute the greater part of the route toward their aspired destination and significantly shape their experience of migration and forced immobility. This special issue takes a look at the meaningful ways in which migrant actors interact with immigration bureaucracies and at how administrative procedures, with their highly emotional potential, shape in turn the subject…
Reception Centres Above.The Mountain, Emblem of the Paradox of the Integration of Asylum Seekers in Switzerland
This article analyses “what the mountain does” to people seeking asylum in Switzerland. It focuses on their experiences while they are accommodated in collective reception centres at high altitudes. At the level of Swiss society, asylum seekers are subject to an « integration » injunction, despite the uncertain outcome of their application. When the waiting and uncertainty imposed by the asylum procedure is experienced at an altitude of more than…
Les foyers d’en-haut.La montagne, emblème du paradoxe de l’intégration des requérant·es d’asile en Suisse
Cet article analyse « ce que la montagne fait » aux personnes qui demandent l’asile en Suisse. Il s’intéresse à leur vécu lorsqu’elles sont hébergées dans des foyers d’accueil collectifs, en altitude. À l’échelle de la société suisse, les demandeur·es d’asile sont soumis·es à une injonction d’« intégration », malgré l'issue incertaine de leur requête. Lorsque l’attente et l’incertitude imposées par la procédure d’asile se vivent à plus de 1 300 m…
Performing whiteness: Racism, skin colour, and identity in Western Switzerland
This paper explores the process through which a white nation commonly considered as "raceless" is producing race and racism. Whiteness is a relevant concept to analyse the process of incorporating non-white minorities across everyday social interactions. It explores socio-cultural expressions of white normativity and possible interpretations of the notion of whiteness as an identity in Switzerland and beyond. The paper considers how non-white cit…
Find Your Nature” in the Swiss Alps In Search of a Better Life in the Mountains
This paper reflects upon the nature/culture dichotomy while focusing on mountain landscapes understood as ideal places for a better life. Taking as example a region in the Swiss Alps, it analyses the motivations that lead mostly urban people to settle in mountain regions for the last three decades. Drawing on long-term multi-sited fieldworks in Swiss alpine villages, it highlights new forms of migration, not directly for economic reasons, as well…
La chefferie autrement. Une notion mille-feuilles bonne à repenser
Cet article présente la réalité polyphonique, historiquement stratifiée et située de la notion de chefferie dans le contexte de la politique fidjienne récente. Sur la base d’une enquête de terrain de longue durée, il explore la complexité et le pluralisme inhérents à la figure du chef à Fidji. La notion de chefferie est d’abord déconstruite au prisme des influences occidentales et coloniales qui l’ont façonnée. L’hétérogénéité qui a caractérisé l…
Traditional Fijian Apology as a Political Strategy
This paper is a reflection upon tradition in Fiji, taking up the question of a controversial ceremony of apology during the 2000 Fijian crisis. A subject of dispute, as much for the social actors as for anthropologists, the notion of tradition that I piece together appears as just such an object of negotiation — between interlocutors but equally between they and the anthropologist. While stressing articulations between customary and constitutiona…
