Re-Turns, Entanglements and Collaborations: Anthropological Experimentations
Returns, Entanglements and Collaboration: Anthropological Experimentations
Authoritarian trajectories of (de)alienation: Political affect, invoking the state and humanist-Marxist legacies
Introduction: Strategic entanglements - un/commoning as relational labour of articulating resource modalities
In the introduction to this special issue, the authors focus on 'strategic entanglements' in the study of the commons, commoning, and accumulation by dispossession. They challenge the recent scholarly focus on projects that understand themselves as outside of capitalisms or other hegemonic economic systems. Instead, Streinzer and Tošić understand social reproduction as a totality of assemblages of actors and relations of capital, labour, property…
On the Challenges of Engagement and Doing Ethnographic Research in Conflict Zones
Catherine Wanner invited several anthropologists to come together to discuss the challenges of conducting fieldwork in a region ravaged by war. The group consisted of four anthropologists, two who conduct research in Serbia and two in Ukraine. The group discussed the ethical complications that arise for anthropologists whose field site is or was the site of war as well as the responsibilities war creates for anthropologists who respond to the out…
Populist Variations on Migration: Floating Signifiers of Mobility in the Context of the ‘Balkan Route’ and the Covid-19 Pandemic
By focusing on the ongoing events of the so-called ‘Balkan Route’ and the Covid-19 pandemic this paper explores how the populist representations of migrants in the Western Balkans rest on specific historically embedded framings of migration. Based on long-term ethnographic insights and media analysis in Serbia the paper explores how the images of (good/bad) migrants tend to play out as unstable ‘floating signifiers’ in particular ways which is gr…

The “educated teacher”: Joint (self-)reflection on translatability between anthropology and teacher education
Building on the core epistemological features and aims of Educational Anthropology, in this paper we explore the perception of anthropological educational knowledge among teachers and their related reflections on the educational standards of their profession, as well as their own role in society. Following an overview of (the emerging) intersections between teacher education and Educational Anthropology in Austria, the paper focuses on conversati…
Preface: Stuck in Motion?
In this special section we rethink the role of movement and stasis in an age of globalization from an existential perspective. We suggest that this theoretical avenue is particularly well suited to move beyond the dualistic binaries that have haunted much writing on mobilities. Rather than fixating movement and stasis into two opposite poles, this perspective allows us to productively work with the overlaps and paradoxes as they appear in the eve…
The Relational Ethics of ‘Never . . . Too Much’
This article explores how a specific pattern of relational ethics – referred to as ‘never . . . too much’ – figures as a way of coping with intimate uncertainties in close relationships. The concept of relational ethics refers to the historically embedded ways in which people live and cultivate ethical values through relations and, as such, also represents an ethnographically grounded conceptual contribution to ongoing anthropological debates on …
Localized Islam(s): Interpreting agents, competing narratives, and experiences of faith
This special issue investigates contemporary transformations of Islam in the post-Communist Balkans. We put forward the concept of localized Islam as an analytical lens that aptly captures the input of various interpreting agents, competing narratives, and choices of faith. By adopting an agent-based approach that is sensitive to relevant actors’ choices and the contexts where they operate, we explore how various groups negotiate and ultimately l…
Memories on the Move: Experiencing Mobility, Rethinking the Past
Through a series of excellent essays this volume uses concrete ethnographic analyses of memory practices in different parts of the globe to offer theoretical reflections on how memory shapes and is s
Localising moralities: Power and temporality in Southeastern Europe
Reflection on moral orders and values lies at the core of the current global moment. Moreover, precisely this focus on ‘morality’ is among prominent recent modes of making sense of global processes
City of the ‘calm’: Vernacular mobility and genealogies of urbanity in a southeast European borderland
By combining a genealogical and ethnographic approach, this paper aims to explore temporal and mobility-related dimensions of the moral ‘self-essentialization’ in the north Albanian city of Shkodra. The image of the Shkodrani as ‘calm people’ – prominent in narratives, urban myths, life-stories, family histories or interpretations of everyday interactions – served both as an explanation of the ‘inherent’ peacefulness and inclusiveness of the inha…

Refugees as a Particular Form of Transnational Migrations and Social Transformations: Socioanthropological and Gender Aspects
Refugee studies represent a special focus for research on migration and globalization. Social and cultural anthropology can provide significant insights in refugee studies by concentrating on local, transnational and cultural interrelations. Social sciences and, in particular, social and cultural anthropology help to deconstruct the image of refugees as helpless and passive aid receivers. Rather they point out refugees' potential active role and …
