Full textAbstract:
Abstract The chronology, pattern, and intensity of the molt following breeding in female Lesser Scaup (Aythya affinis) were studied from July through October 1981-1982 and in July 1984 in southwestern Manitoba. Nonbreeding females or females that were unsuccessful breeders began molt in mid-July, but females with broods delayed molt until August. The molt-intensity index was greatest during the flightless and postflightless periods. Molt persisted at low levels through the fall migratory period. Molt scores were most variable in the preflightless period. Molting began on the head, neck, and side and progressed to the belly, upper back, and chest; the lower back was the last area to molt. Feather replacement was most rapid in the wing and capital regions. The capital region and tail were the last areas in which molt was completed in fall-migratory scaup. Molt in postbreeding females probably is influenced by the length, timing, and success of breeding efforts. Individual and geographic differences in breeding chronology, habitat conditions, and postbreeding movements may contribute to variations in molt within a population of migratory scaup.

Full textAbstract:
Focusing on student migration from Bulgaria to Germany, this article examines what types of social capital are accumulated, transformed and implemented through migration, who profits from the investment, and how. The empirical work consists of 60 narrative biographical interviews with migrants and returnees to Bulgaria. The research reveals that the accumulation and investment of social capital takes place throughout the migratory trajectory—starting well before leaving—and is embedded in a transnational social space. Transnational networks exist as family, peer and professional networks, and all of them have a specific meaning for the migrants. Family networks are naturally present; they provide bonding social capital and thus have a stabilizing function for the individual’s identity. Professional networks have a strongly bridging function, helping the young migrants to manage status transitions. After return the transnational social capital acquired during the migratory stay helps returnees to re-integrate and find their way into the Bulgarian labour market. It also encourages them to pursue activities which are meaningful for civil society development, or for innovative (social) entrepreneurship. Thus, transnational social capital helps migrants to align their biographical development to the future, considering the post-transformative environment of Bulgaria, thereby helping to manage transformative changes and supporting societal modernization processes.

Full textAbstract:
In this article I examined the strategies developed by Bulgarian immigrants living in Spain in order to promote the learning of Bulgarian language and culture among their children. Starting from the incorporated cultural capital brought by immigrants in the form of habitus (Bulgarian language and culture), I analyse how this devaluated cultural capital in the migratory context is effectively reconverted in other forms of cultural capital (objectified and institutionalized) through the development of non-formal and formal courses on Bulgarian language and culture. In this analysis I show the articulation between, on the one hand, the contexts where these informal, non-formal and formal courses take place and, on the other hand, the reconversion of different forms of social and cultural capital: the initial bonding social capital between family members and close group of compatriots is effectively reconverted into bridging and linking social capital as the organization of these courses requires and contributes to the diversification of social networks. The analysis has also a gender dimension given that in most cases, and certainly in the case of Burgos, women are the main social actors and makers of these strategies. The main objective of the article is to show the relevance of social interaction and social networks in the development of reconversion strategies of different forms of social and cultural capital. In addition, the article also expects to raise more awareness towards the relevance of mother-tongue learning in the migratory context.

Full textAbstract:
The author considers Pierre Bourdieu’s conceptual formula where [(habitus) (capital)] + field = practice and brings it to the field of international migration. She proves that a complete, cohesive application of Bourdieu’s theory in migration studies has much greater heuristic potential than the use of isolated individual concepts—it enables a new view of the social world where international migration constitutes an inherent part. It aims at explaining such phenomena as transnational habitus, forms of capital in migration process, migratory field, and transnational practices.

Full textAbstract:
In this article we focus on individuals’ structural embeddedness in transnational social fields (TSFs) and examine how this is related to patterns of international mobility. The main argument is that the structure of TSFs matters for (im)mobility trajectories, and thus all actors (migrants, non‐migrants, and returnees) need to be examined as a whole to obtain a deeper understanding of the role of social networks in processes of transnational mobility. Taking the case of Romanian migrants in Spain as a TSF connecting their place of origin (Dâmbovița in Romania) with their destination (Castelló in Spain), we analyze survey data for 303 migrants, non‐migrants, and returnees, sampled through an RDS‐like binational link‐tracing design. We then categorize types of personal network using an international mobility scale to assess the degree of structural embeddedness in the TSF. An important contribution is the rigorous operationalization of TSF and assessment of the level of migratory capital of each individual. Our results reveal that migratory capital is not always linked positively with high mobility patterns and that its role is strongly related to the overall composition and structure of the TSF.

Full textAbstract:
In this article we use a combination of retrospective and prospective data from the Polish Migration Project to examine the effect of social capital on the likelihood of migrating to Germany. We derive hypotheses from social capital theory about how personal connections to people with migratory experience affect the probability of migration, and we specify models to be estimated using both the retrospective and prospective data. Estimates of retrospective event history models confirm prior findings about social capital’s influence on migration decisions, and these findings are also generally confirmed using prospective data, even when potentially confounding variables are controlled. The prospective data also enable estimation of a two-stage decision model in which people first come to consider migration as an option and then rationally consider whether to depart. The estimates suggest that weak social ties are especially influential in predicting whether migration is considered, while strong ties are important in the decision to move.

Full textAbstract:
Birds meet the energetic demands of egg formation by using either endogenous reserves (capital breeding) or recently ingested nutrients (income breeding). Examining these strategies in migratory birds has been difficult because of the inability to assign the origin of egg nutrients. We used stable-carbon isotopes (δ13C values) to determine whether American Redstarts (Setophaga ruticilla (L., 1758)) form eggs using endogenous reserves acquired on tropical wintering areas or local dietary sources. Redstart diet tends to be enriched in 13C on tropical wintering areas; therefore, we predicted that if endogenous reserves are used to form eggs, then 13C would be enriched in first clutches relative to replacement clutches. We analyzed yolk (δ13CYK) samples from successive first, second, and third clutches and blood plasma (δ13CPL) sampled from females over the same time period. Values of δ13CYK in first-clutch and second-clutch eggs were significantly more positive than those in third-clutch eggs. Although the isotopic shift in yolk was in the direction predicted for a mixed capital–income strategy, δ13CPL, which represents the locally derived diet, varied seasonally in accordance with the shift in δ13CYK. Our findings indicate female Redstarts are primarily income breeders, forming eggs from an isotopically variable diet during the breeding season.

Full textAbstract:
Minimum wage research has historically focused on labor mobility between covered and uncovered labor markets within a geographic area. This study examines the impact of minimum wage setting on labor migration. A multiple time series framework is applied to monthly data for Puerto Rico from 1970–1987. The results show that net emigration from Puerto Rico to the United States fell in response to significant changes in the manner in which minimum wage policy was conducted, particularly after 1974. The extent of commuter type labor migration between Puerto Rico and the United States is influenced by minimum wage policy, with potentially important consequences for human capital investment and long-term standards of living.

<p>This study investigates ways in which migratory trajectories relate to the gradual insertion and eventual integration of immigrants.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail est le résultat d'une enquête ethnographique menée entre 2007 et 2012 auprès de migrants bamakois et diplômés résidant à Paris. En mêlant récits d'observation et entretiens, j'ai cherché à saisir la manière dont mes interlocuteurs organisent et se représentent leur expérience migratoire. La migration marque une scission entre le passé bamakois des enquêtés et leur présent parisien, un changement de condition sociale et économique qui leur impose un intense travail d'adaptation. Quelle est la nature de ce travail ? Quelles ressources développent-ils pour faire face aux contraintes qui sont les leurs ? À quelle catégorie de l'entendement font-ils appel pour expliquer et s'expliquer qui ils sont et ce qu'ils font ? À travers cette série de questions, je me suis intéressé aux mécanismes par lesquels mes interlocuteurs prennent place dans l'espace social parisien. Pour en rendre compte, j'ai suivi trois axes de recherche qui ont structuré l'investigation : le capital pré-migratoire, les conditions d'immigration et la relation des bamakois diplômés aux "accueillants". " Le capital pré-migratoire " désigne l'ensemble des ressources dont dispose un individu et qui sont le résultat de sa socialisation avant son émigration. Pour le définir, plusieurs critères peuvent être pris en considération : l'origine sociale et familiale, l'origine géographique, le genre, l'origine ethnique, le degré de scolarité ou encore la religion. Et c'est parce que les enquêtés partagent des dispositions sociales similaires que j'ai choisi de les nommer " bamakois diplômés " : ils sont très majoritairement des hommes issus de la petite bourgeoisie urbaine, ils maîtrisent le français (tant à l'écrit qu'à l'oral) et tous ont obtenu leurs diplômes au Mali (du baccalauréat au doctorat). Par ailleurs, je précise que l'étude du capital pré-migratoire - et de son impact en situation d'immigration - a rapidement révélé la nécessité d'un travail de terrain à Bamako. Effectué entre octobre 2007 et janvier 2008, le séjour au Mali a été motivé par trois objectifs : déterminer avec plus de précision les origines sociales de mes interlocuteurs, appréhender les mécanismes de socialisation familiale et scolaire en milieu urbain (Bamako), mieux comprendre les raisons de leur immigration en France. " Les conditions d'immigration " qu'offrent Paris et sa banlieue aux étrangers demeurent marginales : occupations d'emplois peu ou pas qualifiés dans des secteurs d'activité souvent marginaux, ségrégation résidentielle durable, précarité du statut économique et juridique. Fragilisés dans des domaines essentiels de l'existence, il leur faut malgré tout " tenir ". Ici, je me suis intéressé aux conditions socioéconomiques de vie des enquêtés et aux moyens qu'ils mettent pour agir sur ces conditions. J'ai donc mené l'investigation à l'intérieur des lieux effectifs de leurs activités familiales, professionnelles et de loisirs. Ces lieux forment le cadre global au sein duquel l'expérience d'immigration est vécue et interprétée par mes interlocuteurs. C'est donc dans ce cadre que peuvent être compris les modes d'être et de pensée des bamakois diplômés rencontrés durant l'enquête. " La relation "aux accueillants" " vise à analyser les façons dont les enquêtés construisent le réel à partir des relations sociales de leur vie quotidienne à Paris. En effet, l'étude du capital pré-migratoire et des conditions d'immigration ne doit pas faire oublier que mes interlocuteurs sont pris dans un réseau de relations sociales. C'est dans et par l'interaction avec les autres qu'ils se forgent leur vision du monde et s'approprient les normes et les valeurs de la société française. Capital pré-migratoire, conditions d'immigration et relation aux " accueillants ", ces trois axes de recherche sont considérés comme interdépendants. Ils forment le système d'interprétation construit durant l'enquête pour appréhender l'expérience migratoire des bamakois diplômés de Paris.

Full textAbstract:
Il titolo di questo volume richiama quello del libro di Alain Touraine Le monde des femmes, e ne condivide le tesi principali. Si sostiene, infatti, che per cogliere i processi innovativi e di mutamento significativi per la società contemporanea, dobbiamo prestare una rinnovata attenzione alle donne come soggetti sociali, che agiscono in funzione di una "ricomposizione del mondo". Questa tesi viene messa alla prova sul terreno empirico, con i risultati di alcune ricerche condotte nel "distretto" pratese, una società in rapida trasformazione in cui le donne emergono come soggetto centrale del cambiamento – in ambito lavorativo così come in quello culturale e politico – proponendosi come agenti della trasformazione sociale ed economica. Il terreno di ricerca si concentra sul lavoro autonomo e imprenditoriale, sulle libere professioni e, in relazione a queste, prende in considerazione la famiglia, i processi di formazione del capitale sociale, il ricambio generazionale, includendo nell'analisi anche il fenomeno migratorio. La pubblicazione di questo lavoro è stata incoraggiata e sostenuta dall'Associazione Soroptimist International Club di Prato, e in particolare dalla Presidente Anna Edy Pacini Sanesi.

Full textAbstract:
Filipino Time examines how a variety of immaterial labor performed by Filipinos in the Philippines and around the world, while producing bodily and affective disciplines and dislocations, also generate and explore vital affects, multiple networks, and other worlds. Whether in representations of death in a musical or keeping work time at bay in a call center, these forms of living emerge from and even work alongside capitalist exploitation of affective labor. Affective labor involves human intersubjective interaction and creative capacities. Thus, through creative labor, subjects make communal worlds out of one colonized by capital time. In reading these cultural productions, the book traces concurrent chronicities, ways of sensing and making sense of time alongside capital’s dominant narrative. From the hostile but habitable textures of labor-time, migratory subjects live and weave narratives of place and belonging, produce new modes of connections and ways to feel time with others.The book explores how these chronicities are re-articulated in a capacious archive of storytelling about the Filipino labor diaspora in fiction, in a musical, in an ethnography, and in a documentary film. Each of the genres demonstrates how time and space are manifest in deformations by narrative and genre. These cultural expressions capture life-making capacities within the capitalist world of disruptions and circulations of bodies and time. Thus, they index how selves go out of bounds beyond the economic contract to transform, even momentarily, self, others, time, and their surroundings.

Full textAbstract:
In the early 1950s, Kuwait underwent rapid urbanization during which first-generation Hadramis were swiftly absorbed into Kuwaiti urban houses assuming domestic service roles. It is argued that the socioeconomic path of house-serving shaped the Hadrami character and experience of the “model immigrant” as we know it today. However, the study also demonstrates how a Hadrami migratory practice of dependency on the local family and sponsor was inspired by a Kuwaiti cultural and official categorization process of different immigrant groups in which the Hadramis were depicted as loyal, easily satisfied, and non-subversive. While dependency was valued by old Hadramis as a resource and as a form of social capital, it also continued to inform the perceptions, expectations, and actions of the second-generation Hadramis. This chapter analyzes the ways in which the whole experience was conceptualized and contested in daily interaction of the two generations. This study reveals that young Hadramis’ daily activities in Kuwait, and their aspirations for individual self-sufficiency and mobility, can only be carried out by maintaining a difficult balance between the social-triad, and by managing, or perhaps preserving, the legacy of “good reputation.”

Full textAbstract:
Tucked away in the northeastern corner of Alaska is one of the most contested landscapes in all of North America: the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Considered sacred by Indigenous peoples in Alaska and Canada and treasured by environmentalists, the refuge provides life-sustaining habitat for caribou, polar bears, migratory birds, and other species. For decades, though, the fossil fuel industry and powerful politicians have sought to turn this unique ecosystem into an oil field. Defending the Arctic Refuge tells the improbable story of how the people fought back. At the center of the story is the unlikely figure of Lenny Kohm (1939–2014), a former jazz drummer and aspiring photographer who passionately committed himself to Arctic Refuge activism. With the aid of a trusty slide show, Kohm and representatives of the Gwich’in Nation traveled across the United States to mobilize grassroots opposition to oil drilling. From Indigenous villages north of the Arctic Circle to Capitol Hill and many places in between, this book shows how Kohm and Gwich’in leaders and environmental activists helped build a political movement that transformed the debate into a struggle for environmental justice. In its final weeks, the Trump administration fulfilled a long-sought dream of drilling proponents: leasing much of the Arctic Refuge coastal plain for fossil fuel development. Yet the fight to protect this place is certainly not over. Defending the Arctic Refuge traces the history of a movement that is alive today—and that will continue to galvanize diverse groups to safeguard this threatened land.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSituated at the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, the island of Cyprus has always been a bridge as well as a border between the Middle East and Europe. It has also been an important place of both emigration and immigration. The situation in Nicosia, the capital city, is marked by decline following the 1974 conflict and partition. At the same time, however, the city has become an important settling place for international migrants, whose presence has grown during the last 20 years. Today Nicosia’s situation lies between a typical south European city (in which migrants find room in the interstices) and a post-war city. Following the growing effort within migration studies to use the street as a laboratory of diversity and cosmopolitanism (Susan Hall), this paper focuses on a single street. Formerly an important business street, Trikoupi Street is now well known as one of the most cosmopolitan streets in Nicosia, in which south Asians, Arabs, Sub-Saharan Africans as well as Eastern Europeans converge. These different populations correspond to different migratory waves as well as different modes of incorporation into local society. In this chapter, we aim to see how the street level may help us to reflect upon important topics in Cyprus such as contested citizenship, urban change, local/global connections, as well as new forms of cohabitation and patterns of subaltern cosmopolitanism. We also aim to reflect upon the multiple temporalities of the neighborhood, in order to show how the history of the street (and the history of the neighborhood) impacts on current ways of life in Trikoupi. We define the current situation as “suspended cosmopolitanism.”

Full textAbstract:
The attempts to ban the burkini on numerous beaches in the summer of 2016 highlight the extent of fears of visual signifiers of Arabo-Muslim ‘difference’ in public spaces in France. Given these anxieties, the positive reception of El Seed’s ‘calligraffiti’ – combining graffiti and Arabic calligraphy – in Paris might seem surprising. Focusing on El Seed’s work, this chapter asks how art can encourage dialogue and tolerance between cultures and communities in local – particularly Parisian – contexts and in a globalised frame. How does El Seed bring Arabic writing, a visual signifier of ‘difference’, into the public spaces of the French capital? How does he use public sites within and beyond France? How does the digital online presence of his multi-sited ephemeral work signal new means of evoking cultural identity and of interpolating diversely located spectators?

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses how language, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), and migrant backgrounds intersect with affective ties among migrant families in a relatively recent immigration destination such as Italy. The use of technology in a migratory context could aggravate distances between generations, disrupting continuity in the affective language between parents and children. Drawing from more than eighty interviews with parents and young adult children of Moroccan and Peruvian immigrant families, composed of two generations living in Italy, the chapter examines to what extent the lack of cultural capital and low investment in understanding the function of ICTs in children’s lives are two key issues that help to explain why interactions between parents and children in a migratory context are increasingly marked by emotional distance.

This chapter considers three unique aspects in London's migratory history through a series of other interlinked features: demography, globality, employability, social mobility, and a revisiting of diversity. These five headings can provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between migration, globality, and diversity. This is especially seen through the prism of employment because the discussions have demonstrated that, while London has for most of the last three centuries constituted the political and financial capital of the world, this has fed into its importance as a global work centre. It has attracted people from Britain, Europe, and the rest of the world seeking employment in all sectors of the economy. This includes cleaners as well as hawkers, musicians, footballers, and political and financial elites.

The diversity transferred through the migratory pathways conveys new challenges to the higher education institutions regarding the conception of new strategies and educational resources that promote integration, interaction, intercultural dialogue, collective social capital, and individual skills. Thus, between 2016-2018, Bragança Ciência Viva Science Center in partnership with Polytechnic Institute of Bragança promoted the project “INTEGRA(-TE): Scientific Routes for an Intercultural Integration.” This project aimed a group of young foreigner students from a Community of Portuguese Language Countries who studied at IPB and lived in Bragança, using scientific, technological, pedagogical, and entrepreneurial experiences. The first edition of the project involved n=110 students and the second n=124 students. Overall, results from these editions pointed a very positive result and suggested an increased labor opportunity created by practical entrepreneurial actions.

Full textAbstract:
The introduction outlines the key questions, the core of the argument, and the outline of the book. The contemporary social question is not only between labour and capital within national states. It is located at the interstices between the global South and the global North and also revolves around cultural heterogeneities. The core question is: how is cross-border migration constituted as the social question of our times? This general question comprises several specific areas of enquiry: how has migration changed since the nineteenth century? What kinds of social inequalities are created in the migratory process and how? How does social protection across borders ameliorate and reproduce inequalities? What are the consequences for political struggles over access to (social) rights and membership? How is the transnationalized social question to be seen in light of environmental destruction? What is the public role of social scientists in understanding the transnationalized social question? The analysis seeks to uncover the social mechanisms driving the (re)production of social inequalities.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the dramatization of debt in two contemporary noir films by Danish-American director Winding Refn. A financialized obligation, debt is ceaselessly bought, sold, and securitized. At the same time, debt creates and sustains a social economy of affect that moves within and between people as it crisscrosses our planet. Drive and Only God Forgives tell stories about working-class families, drifters, and small-time crooks to explore the guilt, distrust, and despondency set in motion by a present that remains forever in debt to the past and cannot discern a future. Incapable of repaying what he owes, Drive’s nameless protagonist finds that debt breeds ever more debt. This constant increase, or excess, situates Refn’s characters as biopolitical relays for the monetized consumption and free production of sexuality and violence, and thus the surplus jouissance on which both capital and cinema feed. Set in Los Angeles and Bangkok at the intersection of migratory and financial flows, Refn imagines a global shadow economy of money laundering and drugs. Yet Refn's meditation on the relationship between debt and violence also ponders the possibility of forgiveness within a system determined to uphold financial measurements of social interaction.

Full textAbstract:
Migratory seabirds are an unseen conduit between marine and terrestrial systems, carrying the nutrients they consume at sea into the forests where they breed. Acting as environmental sentinels, their health and reproductive success provide early warning signals of deteriorating marine eco-systems as the climate changes, and fish stocks decrease. Aotearoa New Zealand is the seabird capital of the world, with ~25% of all species breeding here and ~10% exclusively so. They play a critical role in maintaining healthy ecosystems, with their long-term well-being is closely interconnected with our own prospects for a sustainable future. Now predominantly restricted to off-shore islands due to predation and habitat destruction, seabirds and their familiar sounds have become less available in an age when the unprecedented global movement and planetary spread of the human population has culminated in unsustainable fishing, predators and habitat destruction. Inspiring mythology, song, poetry and stories, birds have been significant in shaping our understanding of how our natural environment has come to be known and understood. This paper speculates upon how we learn to communicate and cooperate with these precious taonga, and what might be learned from such an exchange through creative practice. Reflecting upon what birds might tell us, musician Matthew Bannister and I, a visual artist, have taken our cue from seabirds sharing our local environment on the west coast of Aotearoa - from the petrel (peera) through to the gannet (tākapu). Working on the premise that bird vocalisation is a performed negotiation that includes defence of territory and mate attraction, a bird’s call is a form of communication that effectively says “Come here” or “Go away”, which arguably is true of music – marking a social space and time to invite or repel. Rather than limiting bird calls to functionalist categories of explanation, we ask whether seabirds can communicate and exchange information about environmental changes using a malleable vocabulary, comprised of unique acoustic units arranged and re-arranged sequentially for greater communicative depth. Granting a high level of agency and creativity to birds as opposed to believing a bird only avails itself of stereotyped ‘speech’ to survive an accident-rich environment, places greater importance on responses that are improvised directly upon environmental stimuli as irritant rather than as a signal. Matthew explores bird calls via musique concrète, sampling recordings of seabirds to abstract the musical values of bird song conventions – a human response to the ‘other’ in jointly formed compositions, reflecting a living evolving relationship between composer and bird. In further developing our research into a multimedia artwork, I shall extend a technique used for electroacoustic composition (granular synthesis) to video portraits of composer/performer and bird. In applying granular synthesis techniques to video, tiny units of image and sampled sound are reassembled within the frames. Through the mixing of existing synthesised sequences, performer/composer and bird become active participants in the making and remaking of a shared environment, articulating the limits of space/territory to find new ways to be heard within it.

Full textAbstract:
We develop a small open economy model with nominal rigidities and fragmented labor markets to study the response of the monetary policy to a migration shock. Migrants are characterized by their productivity levels, their restrictions to accumulate capital, as well as by the flexibility of their labor income. Our results show that the monetary policy response depends on the characteristics of migrants and the local labor market. An inflow of low(high)-productivity workers reduces(increases) marginal costs, lowers(raises) inflation expectations and pushes the Central Bank to reduce(increase) the interest rate. The model is calibrated to the Colombian economy and used to analyze a migratory inflow of financially constraint workers from Venezuela into a sector with flexible and low wages.
