European irregularized migration regime
In this special issue, the European irregularized migration regime will be examined through an ethnographic perspective, based on studies carried out in its peripheries. Rather than treating this regime as a coherent or centralized system, the contributions trace how it is assembled through everyday practices, material environments, spatial conditions, temporalities, but also through modes of control, care and negotiation. The papers collected in…
Organ donation
Organ donation has been the subject of diverse discussions and a particularly relevant area of research across various disciplines in recent decades. The rapid development and application of biomedical technologies have allowed for multiple interpretations of this practice. By analyzing the perspectives of our interlocutors who closely identify as Orthodox Christian believers, we explored several pertinent themes reflected in their responses. For…
Ladders, Ketchup, and Mayonnaise
This article explores how ordinary objects – such as ladders, ketchup, and mayonnaise – become charged with political significance in the context of irregularized migration along the Balkan route. In two ethnographic case studies conducted at the EU’s southeastern borderlands, we examine how these mundane items acquire new functions and meanings in connection with border violence. Ladders, used by migrants to scale fences at the Serbia–Hungary bo…
Moving While Waiting for the Future
The status of the “double transit” countries is associated with the ex-Yugoslav (Western) Balkan countries used to depict perspective towards the EU for both the local population and the people on the move coming from the Global South. This article explores mobilities in the Serbian town, Šid, both during the 1990s and in the aftermath of 2015, by analyzing ethnographic fieldwork notes and interviews conducted during joint research. Considering i…
Forced (im)mobilities en route
In this article, I explore the violent consequences of the post-2015 EU border regime for people from the Global South lingering through the Balkans. I intend to show that securing EU?s external borders through asylum and border management in Balkans is based on coercion and force, despite the efforts of the people on the move to transgress these borders and achieve decent lives. The efforts of people on the move to cross borders - which are offi…
Refugee studies or forced migration studies
This paper aims to present to domestic audience a comprehensive view of multidisciplinary research field known as “refugee studies” or “forced migration studies”, which was formally founded in the early 1980s. I will show that the scientific problem of conceptual distinction between “refugee” and “forced migration” is embedded within the history of this research field, but also in the socio-political context. Academic multidisciplinary field cons…
Formal Education of Asylum Seeker Children in Belgrade, Serbia
Formal education of asylum seeker children in Serbia officially started in September 2017, when the consequences of European border regime became more obvious. In spite of the official attitude that Serbia is a transit country, there was a pressure to improve integration policies regarding migration, since a lot of people wanting to seek asylum in European Union have remained in Serbia for months. Educational inclusion is the aspect of asylum see…
