“…Moreover, she focuses on the construction of relationships with activists and volunteers, and the (explicit and tacit) processes of negotiation that refugees conducted with police authorities and other stakeholders. Related work on resistance in border and near-border settings includes Cabot (2016) and Rozakou (2017Rozakou ( , 2018. Without at all criticizing this important work, again we note the predominance of the migration enforcement/resistance focus in the Mediterranean.…”

Borders of Wealth and Poverty: Ideas Stimulated by Comparing the Mediterranean and U.S.-Mexico Borders

How can anthropologists and sociologists share ideas and knowledge on the Mediterranean and U.S.-Mexico borders to deepen insight and understanding? The best-known comparison is militarized border enforcement, plus humanitarianism, posed against asylum seeking and irregular migration. But, more complex mobility occurs at these borders, including privileged and other differentiated and sorted mobilities. Interwoven with these mobilities, commerce of many scales and degrees of legality occurs, supporting complicated cultural worlds of informality and exchange. Borders require not just a political analysis, but also attention to capital. Importantly, borders (immediate and extended) have become increasingly important sites of export-oriented production in the world economy. The processes of interchange at borders, in turn, support important urban zones and other communities that merit close ethnographic study for their social and cultural complexity.

“…Many passengers may also be their neighbors or relatives. Their efforts to maintain collaborative relations with regular users are not that distinct from much‐documented expressions of solidarity among people who live in the same communities and relate on multi‐faceted levels, including in collectively contending with under‐funded public services (e.g., Bates et al ; Cabot ; Stack ; Zambeta et al ). It is also not that distinct from crew members' efforts to maintain good relationships with each other.…”

Emotional Labor On and Off Water

This article focuses on the emotional labor requirements of crew working within the intra‐provincial ferry system in Newfoundland and Labrador, on Canada's North Atlantic coast. The argument draws on fieldwork interviews with crew and passengers, participant observation on the most intensive daily maritime commuting route in the province, and documentary sources. It builds on the theoretical framework first laid out by Arlie Russell Hochschild in her 1983 book The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling. As is the case of examples of emotional labor in other economic sectors, the crew working in this public transportation system regularly modulate their own emotional reactions in order to interact effectively with passengers and coworkers who are often contending with frequent delays and uncertainties in this ferry system, which can be considered an example of precarious aquamobility.

“…More recently they have also begun to be investigated in Europe (Brand, Rosenkotter, Clemens, & Michelsen, 2013;Karanikolos et al, 2013;Stuckler & Basu, 2014). Studies working towards theorisations of impoverished locations and decaying medical infrastructures in the global North as an 'other global South' (Meyers & Hunt, 2014), and very recent studies on the relationship between austerity policies and the precarisation of health care in Southern Europe (Cabot, 2016;Kehr, 2014), have shown how processes of austerity and the privatisation of health care undermine North-South divisions, as similar stakes regarding infrastructural decline are at play, even if the scale and consequences of such processes are highly dependent on the location and the population. With this article I intend to participate in this nascent research field of austerity studies by showing how health professionals in the field of TB control in Berlin made sense of global economic phenomena such as public debt and structural adjustment as they slowly unfolded before their eyes at the end of the 2000s.…”

‘Exotic no more’: Tuberculosis, public debt and global health in Berlin

Geographical divisions between North and South are coming increasingly undone in the field of global health. Settings in the global North, such as Berlin, are becoming linked up to those in the global South in manifold ways. In this article, I show through discourse analysis and ethnographic research how tuberculosis and its meanings have been transfigured in Western Europe through the worldwide circulation of the disease and its definition as a global health epidemic returning to the North from the South through global migration routes. I then draw attention to the ways in which public health professionals in Berlin make sense of locally implemented economic processes of debt and austerity that have been in effect since the early 2000s. Such processes of indebtedness and privatisation render the strong public health infrastructures that characterise the global North increasingly fragile, and are comparable to the structural adjustment policies that have been imposed upon countries in the global South. I argue that economic processes of austerity in Berlin complement the meaning of TB as an immigrants' disease, while older meanings of TB as a disease of poverty resurface.
