One of the most powerful and widespread ideal and political
reasons underlying the birth and building of the Nation-state has
been the concurrence of territory, culture and people. Lately,
however, one can observe a complete overturning of the relation
between territorial and social spaces. New forms of international
migrations, new systems of communication, new financial flows, and
new political entities constitute relations, which, by crossing
over the old borders, take on a territorial multipolarity as the
area of their sociocultural practices. Studying the new relations
between culture and territory implies laying stress on the effects
of processes of contemporary nomadisms at global, local, virtual,
and everyday life levels. The volume contains a collection of
essays that try to illustrate the trends of the ceaseless nomadisms
spanning our world, the distinctive modalities by which they fuel
yet are also subjected to the complexity of contemporariness,
looking into an ethnography of the modern traffic of the
incorporeal but also of identity experiences and of state and
state-like practices enfolding them.
