Since the time of the Grand Tour, the Italian region of Tuscany has sustained a highly visible American and Anglo migrant community. Today American women continue to migrate there, many in order to marry Italian men. Confronted with experiences of social exclusion, unfamiliar family relations, and new cultural terrain, many women struggle to build local lives. In the first ethnographic monograph of Americans in Italy, Catherine Trundle argues that charity and philanthropy are the central means by which many American women negotiate a sense of migrant belonging in Italy. This book traces wom

"Many of the women whose names are known to history from Classical Athens were metics or immigrants, linked in the literature with assumptions of being 'sexually exploitable.' Despite recent scholarship on women in Athens beyond notions of the 'citizen wife' and the 'common prostitute,' the scholarship on women, both citizen and foreign, is focused almost exclusively on women in the reproductive and sexual economy of the city. This book examines the position of metic women in Classical Athens, to understand the social and economic role of metic women in the city, beyond the sexual labor market. This book contributes to two important aspects of the history of life in 5th century Athens: it explores our knowledge of metics, a little-researched group, and contributes to the study if women in antiquity, which has traditionally divided women socially between citizen-wives and everyone else. This tradition has wrongly situated metic women, because they could not legally be wives, as some variety of whores. Author Rebecca Kennedy critiques the traditional approach to the study of women through an examination of primary literature on non-citizen women in the Classical period. She then constructs new approaches to the study of metic women in Classical Athens that fit the evidence and open up further paths for exploration. This leading-edge volume advances the study of women beyond their sexual status and breaks down the ideological constraints that both Victorians and feminist scholars reacting to them have historically relied upon throughout the study of women in antiquity"--

Ob jemand als zugehörig oder als »nicht von hier« gilt, wird im Kontext von Migration oft an Körperlichem festgemacht. Doch wie hängen Fragen nach dem Körper und nach Migration als Erfahrung und Zuschreibung zusammen? Die empirisch-qualitative Studie geht dem Verhältnis von Körper und Sozialität, von körperlichem Empfinden und Zuschreibungserfahrungen im Zusammenhang mit Migration nach. Dabei kommen junge Frauen in biografischen Interviews zu Wort und porträtieren sich in Fotografien. Durch die Analyse der Körperinszenierungen in Text und Bild wird deutlich, dass Körperlichkeit im Kontext von Migration als ein in sich flexibler Möglichkeitsraum zu verstehen ist. »Inhaltlich und methodisch anregendes Diskussionspotenzial.« Gabriele Fischer, GENDER, 3 (2016) »Das [...] auch für fachfremdes Publikum gut lesbare Buch ist für alle, die sich vertieft mit Migration, Genderforschung und/oder sozialwissenschaftlichen Körperfragen auseinandersetzen, zu empfehlen.« http://www.centrum3.at, 9 (2014) »Der ausführliche Überblick über den Stand der Forschung ist für Wissenschaftlerinnen aufschlussreich. Die wirklich spannend zu lesenden Datenanalysen loten ein breites Spektrum von möglichen individuellen Zugängen zum eigenen Körper aus.« Sena Dogan, WeiberDiwan, 1 (2014) »Das Buch von Henrike Terhart ist für alle, die sich vertieft mit Migration oder sozialwissenschaftlichen Körperfragen auseinandersetzen unbedingt zu empfehlen. Auch Personen, die sich für Methodentriangulation im Bereich Text und Bild interessieren, können sich inspirieren lassen.« Nadia Baghdadi, www.socialnet.de, 04.07.2014
