Being-Here : Placemaking in a World of Movement, Paperback / softback Book

Being-Here : Placemaking in a World of Movement Paperback / softback

Part of the EASA Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Exploring the lifeworlds of Halima, Omar and Mohamed, three middle-aged Somalis living in Melbourne, Australia, the author discusses the interrelated meanings of emplacement and displacement as experienced in people’s everyday lives.

Through their experiences of displacement and placemaking, Being-Here examines the figure of the refugee as a metaphor for societal alienation and estrangement, and moves anthropological theory towards a new understanding of the crucial existential links between Sein (Being) and Da (Here).
