Cross-border studies have become attractive for a number of fields,
including international migration, studies of material and cultural
globalization, and history. While cross-border studies have
expanded, the critique on nation-centered research lens has also
grown. This book revisits drawbacks of methodological nationalism
in theory and methodological strategies. It summarizes research
methodologies of the current studies on transnationalization and
globalization, such as multi-scalar and transnational approaches,
global and multi-sited ethnography, as well as the entangled
history approach and the incorporating comparison approach. This
collected volume goes beyond rhetorical criticism on methodological
nationalism, which is mainly associated with the ignorance and
naturalization of national categories. It proffers insights for the
systematic implementation of novel research strategies within
empirical studies deployed by young and senior scholars. The
novelty lies in an interdisciplinary lens ranging from sociology,
social anthropology and history.
This volume establishes a new agenda for approaches to migration
research and the corresponding methodologies. A wide range of
international contributors focus on the question of how to overcome
the so-called 'methodological nationalism' within empirical studies
on migration. They address two main challenges: how to
contextualize the empirical research field; and how to deal with
national and ethnic categorizations within the empirical studies.
Methodologies on the Move outlines, first of all, a new
epistemological basis for migration research, which is pinpointing
the relational concept of space. Second, building on the
multi-sited method of ethnography, it provides detailed insights
into novel qualitative and quantitative research designs. Third, it
presents innovative data collection methods on geographic and
virtual mobility, and on cross-border social practices. This volume
transcends the early criticisms of 'methodological nationalism' in
migration research and suggests both general methodological lines
as well as helpful tools for empirical analysis. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial
Studies.
