Care at the Intersection of Mobility and Gender/Sexuality Regimes: Past Legacies

Janine Dahinden — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 10:17:37 +0000

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, problematic past legacies emerged from the intersection of mobility and gender/sexuality regimes. By diving into these continuities, I examine two compelling case studies – domestic caregivers and sex workers. These cases allow me to study how a global, but also a national, crisis of care emerged

Towards a Novel Mobility Regime? The Legacies of the COVID-19 Pandemic Regarding the Governance of Human Movement

Janine Dahinden — Tue, 14 Nov 2023 08:30:11 +0000

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, authorities deployed a myriad of “exceptional” measures that severely impacted the possibilities of human movement. States restricted, controlled and monitored people on the move at various social and spatial scales. The emerging “regime of (im)mobility” turned out to be highly differential and

Twenty Years of ‘Reflexive’ Migration Studies: Introduction to the Blog Series

Janine Dahinden — Tue, 31 May 2022 08:32:34 +0000

Research about migration has arguably been dominated by a western-, and nation-state-centered perspective. In response, reflexive debates on knowledge production have addressed methodological nationalism and colonial legacies, but also androcentrism, heteronormativity and other problematic features in scientific approaches to human mobility. This blog series aims to take stock of the

A Call for Solidarity with All Refugees, Beyond Double Standards!

Janine Dahinden — Thu, 24 Mar 2022 08:30:12 +0000

Since Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, two observations among others, are haunting many social scientists: First, unprecedented solidarity of European states and their people with refugees fleeing Ukraine. Second, a double standard applied to other refugee groups from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq or African countries. These two observations

Gendernativism in the (Il)Liberal State: The Burqa Ban in Switzerland

Janine Dahinden — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 08:30:45 +0000

On March 7, the Swiss electorate will vote on the so-called ‘burqa ban’. This popular initiative as well as the counterproposal stand for what we call gendernativism; the idea that the ‘native’ Swiss are genuinely gender-equal and that only Swiss women can voluntarily wear the veil. The consequence is not

Le double paradoxe des inégalités de genre en Suisse : la production des inégalités dans le domaine des migrations

Janine Dahinden — Thu, 11 Jun 2020 07:30:51 +0000

Le genre est, aujourd’hui encore, un élément crucial dans la fabrication des inégalités sociales. Bien que l’égalité entre femmes et hommes soit en principe acquise sur le plan légal, les lois et les politiques en Suisse sont, de fait, sous-tendues par un régime de genre « classique » qui se

The Migrant-Citizen Nexus in View of the Coronavirus Pandemic: Can We De-Migranticize Responses?

Janine Dahinden — Tue, 12 May 2020 07:30:59 +0000

The world has been confronted by not only the coronavirus pandemic, but also a surge of national(ist) responses to it. By closing their borders and introducing a travel ban for the Schengen Area, European countries have retreated into national fortresses that nonetheless remain highly unequal internally, prioritizing their own citizens’

Einführung zur Blogserie “Gender matters! (Nicht-)Zugehörigkeit in der Schweizer Migrationsgesellschaft”

Janine Dahinden — Mon, 27 May 2019 14:00:45 +0000

Inwiefern prägt Geschlecht unsere Vorstellungen von „den Schweizer*innen“ und „den Anderen*“ in der Politik, in Gesetzen und im Alltag? Unsere Blogreihe zeigt auf, wie Grenzziehungsprozesse zwischen Staatsbürger*innen und den „Anderen*“ vergeschlechtlicht werden und zu Ausschluss führen können. Gender als analytische Kategorie erlaubt es, solche liberalen und rechtsstaatlichen Werten zuwiderlaufende Ungleichheitsstrukturen

„Gendernationalismus“ als neue Spielform eines politischen Nationalismus?

Janine Dahinden — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:09:06 +0000

Wer hätte je gedacht, dass die Idee der „Geschlechtergleichheit“ zu einem intrinsischen Charakteristikum des „Schweizer*in Seins“ würde? Mit „Swissness“ werden nicht mehr nur Pünktlichkeit, Ordentlichkeit, Wanderschuhe und Skis assoziiert. Neuerdings gilt „Geschlechtergleichheit“ ebenfalls als typisch Schweizerische Eigenschaft. „Ungleich“ sind nunmehr nur noch die „Anderen“, die von ausserhalb der Schweiz kommen.
