“…In the ethnographies in this issue, intimacy refers to physical as well as emotional and social relationships that integrate medical care for individuals and kin, reproductive dimensions of families and the collective responsibility of border politics. Intimacies in the context of fear, risk and hope in this collective approach are linked with the processes of commodification (Constable 2009: 50), morality and ir/responsibility (Perl and Strasser 2018). We further suggest that intimacy and intimate relations are always in the making (Sim and Vickery 2014), as they are negotiated within families, articulated between lovers and friends, experienced deeply within the self and expressed even by dead bodies.…”

For this special issue we are bringing together six ethnographic cases of intimate uncertainties that are situated within different regimes of reproduction, healthcare and borders in and beyond Europe. These ethnographic inquiries exemplify unprecedented settings of moral ir/responsibility shaping the intimate on different scales and in various sites of power (agencies, clinics, borderlands). These uncertainties in times of major transitions from old to new moral orders, from industrial to postindustrial, from welfare to austerity spark off a renewed debate on moral economy. The authors of these contributions all focus the theoretical lens of moral economy squarely onto the intimate.

“…Whilst the broader and punctuated border critique is necessary, some advice could be taken from the ethnographic value of humility, of the constantly looming possibility of not getting it quite right, of not quite knowing (Cabot 2016). This kind of humility might, perhaps, contribute to conveying also the sense of unpredictability of borders and bordering processes, in the face of which solidarity advocates, ethnographers and people on the move share the condition of incomprehension (Kynsilehto 2017a(Kynsilehto , 2017bPerl and Strasser 2018).…”

The starting point of this essay was a visit to the Finnish contemporary artist Riiko Sakkinen's exhibition Closing borders (Mänttä 2017(Mänttä -2018. The exhibition portrayed various border locations both at the external borders of the territory of the European Union as well as within this territory, building on the artist's visits to these sites over the year 2016. Many of these places are the same ones where I have conducted ethnographic fieldwork on migrant journeys and solidarity practices since 2010. This essay brings together the analysis of these artistic works (collages, drawings, installations) and the book produced as accompanying material to the exhibition, and ethnographic material (field notes, interviews with people on the move and local solidarity activists) collected at some of the same sites. The essay examines border politics, practices of knowledge formation via responsible witnessing, and multiple forms of enacting resistance to violence at borders. With this backdrop, I ask what the exhibition rendered visible in terms of ongoing struggles at these sites and what remained hidden, arguing that while it is important to document the forms of violence, it would also be necessary to recognize ongoing forms of resistance and the continuities of these struggles in order to reach beyond the mediatised spectacle.
