In addressing the most important elements of this approach, the article provides an analytical vocabulary for analysing the processes of societalization in the context of global and transnational realms. After critically reflecting on the classical sociological approaches to society and social differentiation, the article argues that, because of its poststructuralist basis, the concept of assemblage is the appropriate conceptual tool for studying societal macro-relations of power and inequality while avoiding the modernist heritage of classical social theory. Furthermore, by synthesizing poststructuralist thinking, intersectional theory and multiscalar approaches to space, the article suggests that the assemblage theory can be used to better understand the current forms of cross-border social inequalities in the multiple and partly overlapping contexts of postcolonialism, postsocialism and the EU political project. In a nutshell, it is not a plea to adopt the assemblage approach as a new 'grand theory' but rather as a flexible conceptual tool that allows an inductive theory-building.}, language = {en} } @misc{AmelinaBoatcăBongaertsetal., author = {Amelina, Anna and Boatcă, Manuela and Bongaerts, Gregor and Weiß, Anja}, title = {Theorizing societalization across borders: Globality, transnationality, postcoloniality}, series = {Current Sociology}, volume = {69}, journal = {Current Sociology}, number = {3}, issn = {0011-3921}, doi = {10.1177/0011392120952119}, pages = {303 -- 314}, abstract = {The editorial summarizes the main conceptual and epistemological challenges of theorizing on society across borders. Its particular aim is to initiate the dialogue between theories of society and cross-border studies that address global, transnational and postcolonial relations. In essence, this special issue addresses four interrelated concerns of studying societal processes across borders. The first of these concerns is prompted by a decades-old critique of methodological nationalism. The second concern addresses the question of how can 'society' and the boundaries of 'societalization' be conceptualized, if global, transnational and postcolonial processes straddle the boundaries of nation-states? The third concern relates to the fact that sociological 'grand' theories have been criticized for failing to analyze recent developments of societies on a meso- and micro-level. Fourthly, a conversation between social theory and cross-border studies is also challenged by epistemic inequalities. Therefore, theories of society should be able to take into account not only the 'grand scale' of societal contexts and societal changes but also the positionality of the theorizing subject within global asymmetries of power.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Amelina, author = {Amelina, Anna}, title = {European welfare between complex regulatory frameworks and mobile Europeans' experiences of social (in)security}, series = {Boundaries of European Social Citizenship.

It addresses a conspicuous mismatch in current research: While the contingencies and context-dependencies of migration regimes are widely acknowledged, little attention has been paid to the actual interwoven mechanisms and processes that link political orders to social formations. We suggest amending already existing analyses of intersectional effects of migration-related 'lines of oppression' in two regards. First, we argue for focusing on the intersectional dynamics of political rationalities that give rise to boundaries and borders (the securitisation, the economisation, and the humanitarianisation of migration). Second, we highlight the need to investigate the intersections between different fields of practice involved in the implementation and enactment of boundaries and borders. We conclude by identifying key challenges and promises of an intersectional regime perspective for migration research.}, language = {en} } @misc{AmelinaBause, author = {Amelina, Anna and Bause, Niklaas}, title = {Forced migrant families' assemblages of care and social protection between solidarity and inequality}, series = {Journal of Family Research}, volume = {32}, journal = {Journal of Family Research}, number = {3}, issn = {2699-2337}, doi = {10.20377/jfr-375}, pages = {415 -- 434}, abstract = {The article analyses various forms of care and social protection that forced-migrant transnational families exchange despite their individual members living in different countries. It presents outcomes of a small-scale empirical study of the family practices of mobile individuals from Syria and Afghanistan who arrived in Germany during and after the "long summer of 2015". Building on social protection research and transnational care studies, the article introduces the concept of care and protection assemblages, which highlights the heterogeneity, processuality and multi-scalar quality of migrant families' efforts to improve well-being. It includes an empirical analysis that illustrates key elements of the proposed concept and shows the significance of cross-border circulation of remittances, the selectivity in the cross-border circulation of emotions and limitations on the cross-border circulation of hands-on and practical care. These findings are framed by an analysis of solidarity organizations at the meso-level and (multiscalar) securitized asylum policies at the macro-level in the German context. The proposed conceptual framework takes into consideration migrant families' simultaneity of solidarity and inequality experiences by locating the examination of family-making at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels of analysis.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Amelina, author = {Amelina, Anna}, title = {Theorizing European Social Citizenship: Governance, Discourses, and Experiences of Transnational Social Security}, series = {Boundaries of European Social Citizenship.

Addressing this question, the article develops the doing migration approach that combines socio constructivist, praxeological and the sociology of knowledge and performativity perspectives. 'Doing migration' starts with the processes of social attribution that separate between 'migrants' and 'nonmigrants' and that are embedded into institutional, organisational and interactional routines which generate unique social order(s) of migration. Illustrating these conceptual ideas, the article provides insights into the elements of the contemporary European order of 'migration'. The institutional routines contribute to the emergence of the European migration regime that includes narratives of economisation, securitisation and humanitarisation. The organisational routines of European migration order realise bordering, surveillance and othering contributing to the disciplining effects on those defined as 'migrants'. Furthermore, the routines of daily face-to-face interactions generate various microforms of 'migration' by stigmatisation, while also giving the potential to resist the social attribution as 'migrant'.}, language = {en} }
