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. eng Transnationalismus, soziale Remittances, Migration, Ökonomie, Politische Ökonomie, finanzielle Remittances, Gabe, Austausch, kultureller Austausch, Open Access Transnationalism, social remittances, migration, economy, political economy, karitative Praktiken, financial remittances, social remittances, gift, exchange, cultural exchange, Open Access BIC Standard Subject Categories -- Humanities (H) BIC Standard Subject Categories -- Society & social sciences (J) BIC Standard Subject Qualifiers -- GEOGRAPHICAL (1) -- Europe (1D) -- Central Europe (1DF) BIC Standard Subject Qualifiers -- LANGUAGES (2) -- Indo-European languages (2A) -- English (2AB) BIC Standard Subject Qualifiers -- TIME PERIODS (3) -- Modern period, c 1500 onwards (3J) BIC Standard Subject Qualifiers -- EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE (4) -- International curricula & examinations (4M) 2023-11-27T13:03:06.773Z LOMv1.0 Editor BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Meyer;Silke; FN:Silke Meyer X-ORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9463-4770 END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Ströhle;Claudius; FN:Claudius Ströhle END:VCARD https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/scheme https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/text Textdokument Text LOMv1.0 yes https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf 15877366 https://e-book.fwf.ac.at/o:1900 https://e-book.fwf.ac.at/api/object/o:1900/thumbnail LOMv1.0 discipline https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012 https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/5 SOCIAL SCIENCES SOZIALWISSENSCHAFTEN https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/504 Sociology Soziologie https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/504008 Ethnography Ethnographie https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012 https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/5 SOCIAL SCIENCES SOZIALWISSENSCHAFTEN https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/504 Sociology Soziologie https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/504021 Migration research Migrationsforschung https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012 https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/5 SOCIAL SCIENCES SOZIALWISSENSCHAFTEN https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/504 Sociology Soziologie https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/504010 European ethnology Europäische Ethnologie https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012 https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/5 SOCIAL SCIENCES SOZIALWISSENSCHAFTEN https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/504 Sociology Soziologie https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/504017 Cultural anthropology Kulturanthropologie
