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} } @misc{SchaeferAmelina, author = {Sch{\"a}fer, Jana and Amelina, Anna}, title = {Book Review: Anthias, Floya: Translocational Belongings: Intersectional Dilemmas and Social Inequalities.

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} } @misc{AmelinaMolitorSchaeferetal., author = {Amelina, Anna and Molitor, Verena and Sch{\"a}fer, Jana and Vasilache, Andreas and Zimenkova, Tatiana}, title = {Vulnerable (im)mobilities between imperial legacies and colonial logics of war}, series = {Mobilities}, volume = {21}, journal = {Mobilities}, number = {1}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis}, address = {London}, issn = {1745-0101}, doi = {10.1080/17450101.2025.2605054}, pages = {1 -- 17}, abstract = {The article conceptualizes war-related mobilities and immobilities during Russia's war against Ukraine as shaped by two interconnected dynamics: cross-border solidarity and entanglement between Ukraine and Europe, and cross-border disentanglement of both from Russia's authoritarian political context. Building on mobility studies, the article argues that these frameworks gain analytical depth when combined with critical refugee and migration studies. The editorial proposes four key directions to expand mobility studies: (i) the notion of 'entangled (im)mobilities': highlighting temporal and spatial interdependencies between mobility and immobility in times of war; (ii) empire-sensitive approaches: treating post-Soviet spaces as postcolonial contexts shaped by imperial legacies; (iii) intersectional vulnerability: examining how vulnerability is produced through overlapping forms of marginalization; (iv) reflexive knowledge production: interrogating how war shapes epistemologies and research practices. Together, these perspectives enable a more nuanced understanding of war-induced (im)mobility dynamics, collective suffering, and selective immobilization.

This war encouraged the large-scale displacement and caused Ukrainian citizens' horrible experiences of gendered and sexualized violence. Relying on the secondary data, the article studies these war-torn forms of gendered and sexualized violence as framed by the military coercion taking place in three different realms: in Ukraine, on the route to the Russian Federation, and on the route to the EU. First, the article introduces the imperiality-sensitive ideas with the goal to interpret the nexus of embodied violence and war-torn state-led (im)mobilization strategies as articulations of post-Soviet imperial membership. Second, it specifies the concept of politics and policies of (sociospatial) (im)mobilization to address the ways in which (state) actors coercively channel movement by relying on the carceral apparatus. Third, the article delineates Russian ethnic dominance, anti-Westernism, neo-Stalinist elements, and heteronormative-patriarchal organization as four dimensions of post-Soviet membership and relates them to RF's war-related discourses, politics, and policies.
