Abstract

In 'Contested Belonging: Spaces, Practices, Biographies' contributions by well-known international scholars from different disciplines address the sites, practices, and narratives in which belonging is imagined, enacted and constrained, negotiated and contested. Belonging is viewed from the perspectives of both migrants and refugees in their host countries as well as from people who are ostensibly at home and yet may experience various degrees of alienation in their countries of origin. The book focuses on three particular dimensions of belonging: belonging as space (neighbourhood, workplace, home), as practice (virtual, physical, cultural), and as biography (life stories, group narratives). What role do physical, digital, transnational and in-between spaces play and how are they used in order to create/contest belonging? Which practices do people engage in in order to gain/foster/invent a certain/new sense of belonging? What can the biographies and narratives of people reveal about their complicated and contested experiences of belonging? Contested Belonging: Spaces, Practices, Biographies convincingly shows how individual and collective struggles for belonging are not only associated with exclusion and othering, but also lead to surprising and inspiring forms of social action and transformation, suggesting that there may be more reason for hope than for despair.

Abstract

"In this exploration of the meaning of home, Annie Zaidi reflects on the places in India from which she derives her sense of identity. She looks back on the now renamed city of her birth and the impossibility of belonging in the industrial township where she grew up. From her ancestral village, in a region notorious for its gangsters, to the mega-city where she now lives, Zaidi provides a nuanced perspective on forging a sense of belonging as a minority and a migrant in places where other communities consider you an outsider, and of the fragility of home left behind and changed beyond recognition. Zaidi is the 2019/ 2020 winner of the Nine Dots Prize for creative thinking that tackles contemporary social issues. "-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"Comment la ville contemporaine nourrit-elle l'inclusion la plus large de ses habitants dans un monde où la mobilité ne cesse de s'accroître, ou des populations migrantes prennent aussi leur place, un monde où l'individualisation du lien social modifie les anciennes formes de sociabilité et d'urbanité? Comment se dynamise-t-elle en conjuguant les différences sociales et culturelles, la disparité des générations tout en favorisant le civisme? Comment construire des liens pour accueillir les nouveaux venus. Comment recréer de l'être ensemble en ces temps liquides où, de surcroît, l'individualisation du lien social ne cesse de s'accentuer. Tel est l'objet de cet ouvrage, co-écrit par un trio de socio-anthropologues chevronnés, qui s'attache à mieux comprendre les ritualités urbaines dans leur dimension de rassemblement social, d'instauration d'une mémoire, d'une sociabilité heureuse. Si nous sommes aujourd'hui de moins en moins ensemble et de plus côte à côte, et souvent en rivalité, les auteurs nous montrent les solutions que met en place la cité pour rassembler les individus et lutter contre les inégalités sociales et spatiales et contre la fragmentation et les tensions sociales entre groupes. Il s'agit en fait de faire tenir ensemble des communautés souvent bien différentes et d'assurer aux nouveaux arrivants leur place au sein de l'ensemble. La mobilité est l'ambiance de la ville, mais pour y trouver sa place, il faut l'aimer, la comprendre. Les rites d'inclusion territoriale participent à l'élaboration de ce sentiment d'appartenance en brassant les populations sous un jour propice."

Abstract

"Prompting this book is the paradox of belonging. What pushes the author to write are art's questions. Rather than take the route of writing, artists in academia could opt for the studio, teaching students, and occasionally indulge in conferences and symposia. However, beyond such rituals, writing art's questions remains akin to art's acts of belonging. In these lessons of belonging this is done through art's paradox. Belonging is a matter of art because art belongs to the aporia that writes it"--

Abstract

"From M.G. Vassanji, two-time Giller Prize winner and winner of the Governor General's Literary Award, comes a finely crafted collection of short fiction that explores the tensions between remembering past homes and belonging in new ones. Weaving between wistful memories of youthful ambition and the compromises and comforts of age, travelling between the streets of Dar es Salaam and Toronto, the characters in these stories must negotiate distance--between here and there; between lives imagined and lives lived; between expectation and disappointment; between inclusion and exclusion. Throughout, Vassanji engages passionately with the intellectual and political questions that inspire him as a writer and a citizen, while always matching the energy of his ideas with the empathy and emotional depth he invests in his characters. As with all Vassanji's finest work, What You Are stands as a model of artistic integrity and clarity of vision."--
