| dc.description.abstract | This research focuses on the migrants’ intimate relations and family life as it looks at transnational networks as affective circuits. This ethnographic research is based on multi-sited fieldwork conducted both in the Netherlands as well as in the Gambia, following one affective circuit of a Gambian migrant couple living in the Netherlands. This research follows three different flows of exchange –of monetary investments, social connectivity, and people’s mobility- that circulate intercontinentally within the circuit. The goal of this research is to examine how different members experience, shape, and practice the moral and affective dimensions of their transnational network. This study concludes that transnational networks are not as clear-cut as the literature makes believe, since affective circuits Gambian migrants maintain with their family members can be seen as one big dynamic interplay of aspects, emotions, relations, flows, actions, reactions, and attempts, where positioning | en_US |
