Migration, networks, skills: these keywords not only denote three
popular and important fields of current investigation in Social
Sciences and Cultural Studies, they also mark the wide range of
interests of cultural and social anthropologist Waltraud Kokot, who
is to be honoured in this Festschrift. Internationally
distinguished scholars from five European countries and various
academic disciplines present their most recent research findings on
topics such as diaspora and migration studies, urban anthropology
and the anthropology of crafts, all of which are connected by the
common themes of mobility and transformation.
In the past decades, international port cities have been strongly
aff ected by global transformation processes, dramatically altering
life and work around the ports, the built environment and public
imagery of urban waterfronts. Based on recent theories of city-port
development, the ethnographic studies in this volume focus on local
stakeholders perceptions and strategies in port cities in Europe
and Latin America. Th is book covers a wide variety of urban fi
elds, from traditional dockland communities, inland waterway
sailors and new forms of migration and exile, to active agents of
urban transformation.
