- The 1991-95 wars in the former Yugoslavia were dealt with by anthopologists and ethnologists as the conflict was actually ongoing. Ethnographic fieldwork among civilians rendered refined knowledge of daily life, processes of identification, and patterns of action. Such knowledge often remains overlooked, especially in the shadows of the many analyses of political discourses, documents, institutions, and the role of the media. However, such ethnographic work is central to any understanding of the effects of military violence on people and the difficulties they meet in the processes of individual and societal recovery.

Bodily experiences and community-creating implications of transnational travel
- 2003

Ingår i: Being There. New Perspectives on Phenomenology and the Analysis of Culture. - Nordic Academic Press, Lund. - 91-89116-66-6 ; s. 53-77
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- The author argues for central importance of fieldwork in ethnological/anthropological understandings of transnational practices and their implications, and discusses some methodological concerns. The embodied geography of physical distances and national borders is just one element of transnational individuals’ and groups’ identification processes. Nevertheless, it is central to ethnographic accounts on the multiple and often burdensome experiences of connecting places. Such accounts are indispensable in the joint interdisciplinary effort of locating and historicizing transnationalism from below, in order to promote it as a useful scholarly concept.

Violence and the Re-discovery of Place
- 2003
-
Ingår i: Articulating Europe. Local perspectives. - Museum Tusculanum Press, Copenhagen. - 87-7289-848-8 ; s. 69-88
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- Violence imposed on a place bears not only the implicit challenge to the identities associated with it, but it also provokes responses related to a sense of place. In the context of war, place suddenly matters in a more direct and more intense way. The uniqueness of the place based primarily on the social value it has for people becomes visible and reflected upon as concrete and at one with action and thought. In this article, personal narratives on war experiences in the 1990s by the civilians in Dubrovnik, are related to Edward S. Casey’s propositions about every place being encultured and every culture being implaced. The tension is explored, between being “Europeans” and being “war victims” – two types of place-bound identity.

Beyond Integration: Challenges of Belonging in Diaspora and Exile
- 2001
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- Eight ethnologists, anthropologists and sociologists contributing to this edited collection analyse processes of identity formation among people living out of their national states. Their contributions are based on research in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Macedonia and Croatia. The focus is shifted from the discussion of integration of immigrants in the country of residence, to the transnational aspects of their identifications, political concerns and everyday lifes.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- From the preface: "The Research Institute MIM, Malmö Institute for Studies of Migration, Diversity and Welfare, was established on 1st January 2007 and is now in its fifth year of operation. MIM is a higher education multidisciplinary research institute based at Malmö University and serves as an integrated meeting place and research arena for migration and ethnicity researchers from a variety of disciplines. We think that it is important to describe the kind of activities that we have been involved with in our first five years of existence and what we have managed to achieve during that time with the limited resources at our disposal.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- This chapter sheds light on some aspects of situating identities within a transnational framework. The practice of personal travel as a means of maintaining transnational social fields is focused upon. A micro-ethnographic study is presented of a bus ride between Sweden and Croatia. The material used refers to labour migrants and their families, as well as people who came to Sweden as refugees. Their transnational practices are connected to some aspects of ethnic identification processes. The author argues for central importance of fieldwork in ethnological/anthropological understandings of transnational practices and their implications, and discusses some methodological concerns. The embodied geography of physical distances and national borders is just one element of transnational individuals’ and groups’ identification processes. Nevertheless, it is central to ethnographic accounts on the multiple and often burdensome experiences of connecting places. Such accounts are indispensable in the joint interdisciplinary effort of locating and historicizing transnationalism from below, in order to promote it as a useful scholarly concept.

Balkan Predicaments: Ethnicity, Violence and Place
- 2005
-
Ingår i: Glocal Times;2. - Master in Communication for Development (K3), Malmö University. ; 2:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- Based on research into war-related issues in Croatia and migration-related issues in Sweden, this article discusses belonging as conditioned by social and psychological concreteness: it is rooted in place, familiarity, sensual experience, human interaction and local knowledge. Inclusive identities resulting from a sharing of places are obvious in situations of crisis. However, they are always latently present, in war as in peace, in diasporic surroundings as well as among those who stayed behind, in different epochs and political systems.
