Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- Tehran, Delhi, SalvadorThe present volume emanates from three studies of youngsters and young adults in three urban contexts in the world: in Tehran in Iran, Delhi in India, and Salvador in Brazil. To them, global as well as local ideas about modernization, traditionalism and authenticity provide frames for interpreting the development of society and evaluating one’s own life.The young people that this volume is concerned with were all born in the 1980s. Today they are adults. They all relate to a globalized market of recognition, but also one of potential resources such as attractive commodities, international jobs, local jobs with an international touch, or international support for local activities through the NGO world. Their rod of reference for judging their own life is global. Their sense of time and progress is related to the important developments of their own countries - internally and in relation to the global context - during their own lifespan and possibly that of their parents. Yet, cultural identity is in all the three cases also marked by a relation to ideas about tradition. Becoming modern may also entail redescribing, reinventing and reviving pasts in which the parents’ generation saw little value. The volume as a whole endeavours to give a contribution to the ethnography of varying cultural conceptualisations of modernity.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Detta kapitel handlar å ena sidan om människor som uppehåller sig i Sverige utan tillstånd och å andra sidan om socialtjänstens, skolans, sjukvårdens med fleras uppdrag och ansvar. Som påpekas i Inledningen saknas det nästan helt säkra data om denna grupp. I avsaknad av registerdata och enkätundersökningar hänvisas man därför till den begränsade forskningen som existerar, mindre undersökningar, fallbeskrivningar och intervjuer som finns att tillgå. De flesta undersökningar grundas på uppgifter från dem som har sökt hjälp däremot finns det mycket begränsad information om den grupp vars hälsotillstånd kanske är mindre problematiskt. Kapitlet behandlar även de oförenligheter som kan uppstå mellan olika politikområden (migrationspolitik kontra social-, hälsovårds- och sjukvårds- samt utbildningspolitik) när människor befinner sig i Sverige utan lagligt stöd. Dessutom har staten även krav på sig att uppfylla och respektera de mänskliga rättigheter som omfattas av de internationella konventioner som Sverige har ratificerat.

Feeling Across Distance : Transnational Migration, Emotions, and Family Life Between Bolivia and Spain
- 2018
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What are the relational dynamics of family life as it is lived across vast distances and over time? What underpins these relations, practices, and experiences of being apart and yet together? Based on a long-term multi-sited fieldwork carried out in Spain and Bolivia from 2013 to 2015, this study sets out to address these questions by investigating caring practices, mediated connections, (non)material exchanges, and lived experiences of “doing” and “feeling” family across borders. It conveys the story of ten families divided between Madrid and the Bolivian urban areas of Cochabamba, Sucre, and Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Taking as a point of departure the encounters with middle-aged women who migrated to Spain in the early 2000s, the thesis moves back and forth between “here” and “there” to provide a polyphonic account of family relationships as they are sustained, enacted, and experienced by both those who leave and those who stay. It does so by exploring the transnational provision of care, the routines of keeping in touch, the exchange of remittances and material goods, as well as the interplay of these practices with the management of emotions and the circulation of affects. The term “affective maps” is employed here as a concept to capture the myriad of relatives taking part in these connections, in that it points out how these are strongly interdependent relationships through which people have the capacity to affect and to be affected by one another across distance. More specifically, this study demonstrates how the various ways of dealing with transnational family life are constantly shaped by migration regimes, restrictive policies, and global inequalities, on the one hand, and by power social relations, gender and generational roles, and life-course stages, on the other. To illuminate the dynamics at play, the notion of “feel-work” is introduced as a tuned-in ethnographic practice that simultaneously engages the body and the mind, reasoning and feeling. This study is thus a multi-sited ethnography contributing further knowledge into emotions and affects in human mobility, while it consistently uses emotions and affects as methodological and epistemological tools. The thesis argues that family members recreate a sense of “closeness” and maintain their emotional connection despite not being physically together nor seeing each other over long periods of absence. Ultimately, in grappling with the affective dimension of family relationships in the distinct context of current Bolivia-to-Spain migration, this thesis aims to shed some light on the emotional and the corporeal as constitutive aspects of the ethnographic endeavor.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- On 22 February 2021 a lethal incident along the Iran-Pakistan border became huge news in the region. In the Askan area, near the city of Saravan, Iranian border guards opened fire on a group of Baluch gasoline carriers (sokhtbar) resulting in several deaths. The incident took place in the Sistan-Baluchistan Province in south-eastern Iran, the poorest province of the country and home of the Baluch ethnic group. The higher price of gasoline over the previous two decades in Pakistan has opened a tiny window of income for local people. Although cross-border trade has a long history in the region, it...
