“…Aspects of re‐enactment of practice, often reflecting recreational cultures (Hurley, 2019; Kloek et al, 2015), were sometimes a knowing link—the jam making, the mulberry grafting and the forest walks. These material practices (Tolia‐Kelly, 2004) and the embodied visceral qualities of them (Blachnicka‐Ciacek, 2020) allow for transnational connections and make these communicable, something that can be shared especially with younger generations. Though experiences of nature engage the senses in a particular ‘now’ (and often an ecological specificity), the narratives here reflect some of the themes of Pahl's research on migrant belongings and artefacts (Pahl, 2012), in which a requirement for an exact likeness recedes.…”

This paper explores ways in which first generation migrants living in a UK city engage with urban nature. Through understanding mundane connections with local nature (plants, animals and seasons), we attend to two questions 'what can narratives of urban nature tell us about experiences of migration', and inversely 'what can diverse migrant voices tell us about experiences of urban nature'? We draw on interview data with 23 participants, all born overseas, with a diverse mix in terms of age (young adults to older retired people), gender, country of origin and length of time resident in the United Kingdom. The analysis focuses on three areas: multisensory engagements with weather, care for nature and how transnational identities surface through the relational dimensions of nature narratives. We conclude by highlighting the potential of embodied nature engagement to support a sense of wellbeing and transnational identity across the life-course, with potential to more broadly reflect pluralist understandings of the urban environment.

“…Por ejemplo, Bazile (2017), desde un enfoque feminista, se pregunta por los recuerdos de la infancia de la diáspora de personas queer negras que se desplazaron del Caribe a Estados Unidos, visibilizando memorias colectivas que fueron silenciadas y tensionando las memorias nacionales/hegemónicas. Igualmente, en las experiencias migratorias son relevantes los recuerdos corporales y cómo éstos son resignificados, transformándose la propia corporalidad de los participantes en un lugar afectivo desde el cuál se despliega una contra-memoria (Blachnicka-Ciacek, 2020). Lödén (2017) se interesa en los recuerdos y las narrativas en conflicto de los jóvenes adolescentes sobre un atentado terrorista ocurrido en Noruega contra personas defensoras del multiculturalismo, rescatando que la construcción de memoria se realiza más allá de los territorios de pertenencia nacional.…”

Infancia, memoria colectiva y migración, suelen ser temáticas que la literatura científica aborda por separado. En el presente artículo, exponemos los resultados de una revisión sistemática que tuvo como propósito identificar la producción científica en torno a la memoria social, la infancia y la migración entre los años 2010-2020 en formato de artículos científicos. Siguiendo las directrices PRISMA, incluimos 38 artículos científicos mediante un análisis temático. Los resultados dan cuenta de la construcción de memoria de los/as niños/as desde aspectos identitarios; a través de la transmisión intergeneracional y la posmemoria, y por medio de experiencias de migraciones transnacionales y forzadas. Por último, algunas investigaciones se preocupan de estudiar las memorias como prácticas de resistencia, y a los/as niños/as como agentes de la memoria colectiva. Finalmente, por medio de las discusiones y las conclusiones, reflexionamos sobre las maneras en que se conciben a los/as niños/as en estos campos de estudio y la importancia de valorar su participación en investigaciones que tratan sobre las prácticas de memoria y los procesos migratorios, junto a algunas limitaciones y contribuciones de la revisión.

“…A number of my interview partners were taught by their parents never to make a particular hand gesture, involving three fingers, that had been used by paramilitaries during the war. Thus, there are not only narrative but also other forms -such as gestures, emotions and images -through which memories can be "handed down" (Stoller, 1997;Blachnicka-Ciacek, 2020). Thus, in place of systematic knowledge or a wholesome picture of what happened in the past, my research partners have fragments and pieces of personal memories and experiences that their families went through.…”

This article explores how diaspora youth is impacted by and deals with the legacies of the violent conflict in their parents' homeland of Bosnia. Based on the analysis of narrative-biographic interviews with second-generation Bosnians in Switzerland and ethnographic observations in diaspora spaces, this paper highlights the repercussions that Yugoslav disintegration wars and, particularly, the war in Bosnia (1992Bosnia ( -1995 have for young people who were raised in Switzerland. First, it demonstrates that instead of a coherent picture about the past, young people receive fragments and pieces of personal memories and experiences that their families went through. Second, the history of conflict has repercussions for the ways young people establish and articulate their sense of attachment and belonging to the homeland of their parents. Third, while second-generation Bosnians rarely reproduce the conflict dynamic themselves, they move in spaces in which the legacies of conflict continue to be an important discursive and structural force.
