humanitärt möte, syrisk konflikt, flykting, BrasilienAbstract
Encounter-perspektivet belyser frustration, moraliskt engagemang, maktasymmetrier, ojämlikheter och erfarenheter. Den här artikeln bidrar till etnografiska studier av möten (encounters) genom att artikulera encounter-perspektivet med litteratur från genus- och mellanösternstudier. Genom en enskild berättelse (single-story) kritiserar jag den kulturalisering som ofta sker inom humanitärt arbete. Artikeln diskuterar en syrisk-palestinsk kvinnas reflexiva berättelse om hur hon efter att ha flytt återuppbyggde sitt liv och engagerade sig i sitt religiösa jag genom disciplinära praktiker. Samias narrativ visar att hennes modesthet var en del av ett större personligt projekt som from kvinna. Texten diskuterar hur hjälparbetare i en brasiliansk flyktingorganisation genom att fokusera på en kvinnas kropp och “kultur” flyttar fokus från frågor som rör det brasilianska biståndets prekaritet, liksom från ojämlikheter och religiös agens. Artikeln är baserad på etnografiskt fältarbete som genomfördes mellan 2015 och 2018 i São Paulo och Rio de Janeiro, Brasilien.
