Description
Summary:Remittances are conceptualized as flows of money, objects, ideas, traditions, and symbolic capital, mapping out a crossborder space in which people live, work, and communicate with multiple belongings. However, their power to improve individual living conditions and community infrastructure mainly results from global inequality and this remittance mantra needs to be challenged by going beyond the migration-development-nexus and by revealing dependencies and frictions in remittance relations. Remittances are thus scrutinized in their effects on both social cohesion and social rupture, and by highlighting the transformative effects of remittance in the context of conflict, climate change, and the postcolonial, we shed light on the future of transnational society.
Rücküberweisungen (remittances) bestehen aus Geldsendungen, Objekten, Ideen, Traditionen und symbolischem Kapital, die einen grenzüberschreitenden Raum abbilden, in dem Menschen leben, arbeiten und kommunizieren. Ihre Kraft zur Verbesserung der individuellen Lebensbedingungen und der Gemeinschaftsinfrastruktur resultiert jedoch hauptsächlich aus einem System globaler Ungleichheit. Wir hinterfragen das so genannte remittance mantra, indem wir Abhängigkeiten und Reibungen in den Remittance-Beziehungen aufdecken. Remittances werden somit auf ihre Auswirkungen auf den sozialen Zusammenhalt und die soziale Spaltung und auf ihre transformativen Effekte hin untersucht, womit wir die Zukunft der transnationalen Gesellschaft beleuchten.
