Dear all, We welcome submissions for paper presentations at the 7th APA Congress, Congresso da Associação Portuguesa de Antropologia, Lisbon, 4-7 june 2019: P038 - Temporalities and spaces of the extended home: domestic economy in plural migratory circuits http://apa2019.apantropologia.org/p038/ Coordinator: Ambra FORMENTI Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA) / Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas (NOVA FCSH) [log in to unmask] Co-coordinator Simone FRANGELLA Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa (ICS-Ulisboa) [log in to unmask] Short abstract This panel intends to discuss the nexus between kinship and neighbourhood, political economy and domestic economy , in the context of multiple migrant circulations between Portugal and other world destinations. We propose to explore ethnographically how the relation between migratory strategies, global labour market and domestic economies marks the experience of transnational families. Long abstract For many migrants Portugal is at the same time a place of transit to other countries and a central reference for transnational family networks. This panel intends to discuss the nexus between kinship and neighborhood, political economy and domestic economy, in the context of multiple migrant circulations between Portugal and other destinations in Europe or beyond it. Understanding domestic economy in the aristotelic meaning of “government of home” – which includes the provision and management of money, the circulation of objects and food, the reproduction labour, the care of the house and children and the planning of the future, we invite the authors to explore ethnographically: how the relation between migratory strategies, global labour market and domestic economies marks the experience of transnational families? Does the constant mobility of migratory groups around European and other cities and the temporalities that mould them constitute an enlarged net reproducing ways of life, or alter family and gender patterns, as well as the urban spaces in which they are located? How do people answer to the impact of macro-structural changes to manage their domestic life? Which kind of resources families mobilise to deal with structural uncertainty and live a “good life”? ************************************************************* * Anthropology-Matters Mailing List * http://www.anthropologymatters.com * * A postgraduate project comprising online journal, * * online discussions, teaching and research resources * * and international contacts directory. * * To join this list or to look at the archived previous * * messages visit: * * https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/Anthropology-Matters * * If you have ALREADY subscribed: to send a message to all * * those currently subscribed to the list,just send mail to: * * [log in to unmask] * * * * Enjoyed the mailing list?
