L’ḥarga e le sue bruciature. Riflessioni sulla migrazione “irregolare” tunisina a partire da alcune note etnografiche by Carmelo Russo

“…The purpose of this contribution is to analyze 'the burnings' of the ḥarga, the crossing of the Mediterranean made by migrants without passports and visas, by which documents and identities, borders and boundaries are burned, as the etymon of the verb ḥaraqa suggests, starting from ethnographic material collected “first-hand.” 'Stopping' on the stories of those who experienced and/or imagined the ḥarga returns innovative and original approaches, subtracting the protagonists from stereotypes and simplifications, in which personal ambitions and desire for change emerge emphasized by post-Spring disillusionment and a stagnant condition of the “youth,” distrustful of the Tunisian future. …”

Research Funding and Passport Hierarchies: Power Asymmetries in Multi-Sited Ethnographies in Migration Studies by Hannah Pool

“…This article investigates the asymmetrical power relations between researchers and the researched in the context of multi-sited ethnographies on undocumented migration. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted along migration trajectories linking Afghanistan to Germany in Iran, Turkey, Greece and the so-called Balkan route between 2018 and 2022, the article critically engages with two issues that contribute to the enactment of asymmetrical power relations between migrants and researchers: First, it demonstrates how passport hierarchies determine researchers’ very capacity to conduct multi-sited research and to follow their research interlocutors across borders, privileging those with passports that allow visa-free entry to multiple countries. …”

The ethnographic analogue of archaeological culture is a historical and cultural area, which often has an ethnically heterogeneous structure, and its components are not necessarily connected by common origin. …”

Vouloir construire une mosquée en pays Jola - Ajamat (Guinée Bissau, 1990 – 2000) by André Julliard

“…At the center of the town stands the clay and stubble mosque which does not have a minaret and was built in 1995. The ethnographic observation of this architectural endeavour reveals a double split: firstly, between Susana’s transient Muslim population and native Muslims, the latter being the only promoters of the mosque, and within this group, a division between elders who hold the mosque as emblematic of their authority and younger citizens for whom religion provides a new visibility and legitimates their participation in the village’s economic development. …”
