This book provides insights into the emotional dimensions of
human mobility. Drawing on findings and theoretical discussions in
anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, philosophy, linguistics,
migration studies, human geography and political science, the
authors offer interdisciplinary perspectives on a highly topical
debate, asking how 'emotions' can be conceptualised as a tool to
explore human mobility.
Emotions and Human Mobility investigates how emotional processes
are shaped by migration, and vice versa. To what extent are people
s feelings about migration influenced by structural possibilities
and constraints such as immigration policies or economic
inequality? How do migrants interact emotionally with the people
they meet in the receiving countries, and how do they attach to new
surroundings? How do they interact with 'the locals', with migrants
from other countries, and with migrants from their own homeland?
How do they stay in touch with absent kin? The volume focuses on
specific cases of migration within Europe, intercontinental
mobility, and diasporic dynamics.
Critically engaging with the affective turn in the study of
migration, Emotions and Human Mobility will be highly relevant to
scholars involved in current theoretical debates on human mobility.
Providing grounded ethnographic case studies that show how theory
arises from concrete historical cases, the book is also highly
accessible to students of courses on globalisation, migration,
transnationalism and emotion.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the
Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
