Bringing the Virus Back Home: Media Representations of Ukrainian Labour Migrants in a Time of Pandemic
In a globalized world where mobility and movement is at its essence, the movement of viruses paradoxically causes a preoccupation with boundaries, containment, and control over borders, and thus keeping the “dangerous” outside separated from the “safe” inside. Through a qualitative thematic and frame analysis of news articles published on 12 Ukrainian news sites, I found that Ukrainian labour migrants conceptually constitute a challenge to such a…

The morality of transnationalism: Children of Ukrainian labor migrants write about migration, homeland and abroad
Ukraine has experienced a wave of labor migration after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. A large number of Ukrainian children have been directly affected as they grow up in transnational households with one or both parents working abroad. In this article, I aim to describe how Ukrainian children and youth conceptualize migration, homeland and abroad in a context of societal, economic and political change. The analysis is mainly based on a qua…
Care at a Distance: Ukrainian and Ecuadorian Transnational Parenthood from Spain
Maintaining intimate relationships in transnational families depends on various care practices that involve the circulation of objects, values and persons. Comparing our observations among Ukrainian and Ecuadorian labour migrants in Madrid, we argue that such care practices are structured by geographical distance, and that the distinction between overseas and overland is significant. We claim that differences in distance produce diverse constrain…
Social Orphans and Care at a Distance: Popular Representations of Childhood in Ukrainian Transnational Families
International labour migration creates new relational, emotional and social challenges for migrating parents and the children staying behind. In Ukraine, children who grow up in a transnational household are not only a concern for the individual family, however, but also a phenomenon that is thoroughly discussed in the public sphere. In this article the author analyses Ukrainian media, as well as popular and individual ‘texts' on transnational ch…
Care and Connectivity in Labour Migration
Until quite recently notions of kinship have been treated as localized modes of social organization and classification systems. Moreover, as forms of organization and as ideational relational structures, kinship systems have been considered to exist outside colonial administrations and economies, nation states and the market. An early non-typical example going against this trend is Esther Goody's study of fosterage practices among West-Africans i…
