Ethnographies of Home and Mobility

Shifting Roofs

By: Alejandro Miranda Nieto,Aurora Massa,Sara Bonfanti

This book lays out a framework for understanding connections between home and mobility, and situates this within a multidisciplinary field of social research. The authors show how the idea of home offers a privileged entry point into forced migration, diversity and inequality. Using original fieldwork, they adopt an encompassing lens on labour, family and refugee flows, with cases of migrants from Latin America, Africa and the Indian subcontinent. With the book structured around these key topics, the authors look at how practices of home and mobility emerge along with emotions and manifold social processes. In doing so, their scope shifts from the household to streets, neighbourhoods, cities and even nations. Yet, the meaning of 'home' as a lived experience goes beyond place; the authors analyse literature on migration and mobility to reveal how the past and future are equally projected into imaginings of home.

Musical Mobilities

Son Jarocho and the Circulation of Tradition Across Mexico and the United States

By: Alejandro Nieto

How do musical practices move? Though technology increasingly plays a great part in establishing different degrees of spatial proximity, music making still seems to be tied to specific geographical locations, cultures or communities. The identity of musical traditions, in particular, is often demarcated by a presumed degree of uniformity amongst its practitioners. Musical Mobilities analyses how a musical tradition moves literally and metaphorically: the ways in which people, objects and information travel across geographical locations, just as practices as recognisable entities circulate along with meanings, competencies and embodied dispositions. This unique ethnography focuses on son jarocho, a musical practice originating in southeast Mexico that is currently reproduced through transnational connections, particularly in the United States. Paradoxically, the transformation of son jarocho has been a noticeable outcome of its recuperation and preservation. Thus, in describing the moves of this musical tradition, this book provides a theoretical and empirical perspective on the dissonances between cultural continuity and change. The first ethnographic work to explicitly address the continuity and transformation of a musical practice through the analysis of multiple forms of mobility and fixity, Musical Mobilities will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in fields such as Latin American & Hispanic Studies, South American Music, Ethnomusicology, Cultural Studies and Sociology of Culture.

An Anthropology of Home and Mobility in Europe

A Theoretical Approach to Shifting Roofs

By: Paolo Boccagni,Alejandro Miranda Nieto,Sara Bonfanti,Aurora Massa

This book lays out a framework for understanding the connections between home and mobilities and situates this within a multidisciplinary field of social research. The authors show how the idea of home offers a privileged entry point into pressing contemporary topics such as forced migration, diversity and inequality, as well as the scales, temporalities and materialities of the social. Using original fieldwork conducted across Europe, the authors consider a comparative approach to such topics as labour, family and refugee flows, with case studies from Latin America, Africa and the Indian subcontinent. With the book structured around these key topics, the authors look at both how ideas of home have been formed, and the emotions and processes that go alongside this. In so doing, the scope widens from the household to streets, neighbourhoods, cities and even nations. Yet place is not the only factor in a consideration of what 'home' means, as the authors analyse literature on migration and mobility to reveal how the past and future are equally projected into imaginings of home. This volume will be of interest to postgraduates and scholars in anthropology, geography, sociology and cognate disciplines, as well as policy-makers engaged in these fields.
