Being-Here: Placemaking in a World of Movement
Berghahn Books are pleased to announce the publication in paperback of Bein= g-Here: Placemaking in a World of Movement by Annika Lems. The introduction can be read here.
Exploring the lifeworlds of Halima, Omar and Mohamed, three middle-aged Som= alis living in Melbourne, Australia, the author discusses the interrelated = meanings of emplacement and displacement as experienced in people=92s every= day lives. Through their experiences of displacement and placemaking, Being= -Here examines the figure of the refugee as a metaphor for societal alienat= ion and estrangement, and moves anthropological theory towards a new unders= tanding of the crucial existential links between Sein (Being) and Da (Here)= .
