Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2025. ©2025 1 online resource (xiv, 204 pages) : illustrations. text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Routledge advances in critical diversities "Drawing from empirically grounded studies, the volume Situated Mixedness sheds light on the state of migration-related "intimate diversity", that is, the simultaneous formation and existence of various configurations of conjugal mixedness. It examines this phenomenon in Belgium, a country in the European Union with a long history of immigration and where an important percentage of registered marriages are international. Through the optic of "situated mixedness", the volume pays attention to the (dis-)connections between intimate diversity and its surrounding environment. Bringing together mutually reinforcing or often contradicting emic and etic perspectives, it illuminates how specific context/s (socio-legal, cultural, temporal...) not only can influence, stem from, or trigger a social phenomenon, but also can remain standstill without a particular impact on individual's lived experiences. It brings out in subtle ways the agency and subjectivities of individuals, nuancing thereby common-held views on socially Othered couples. Focusing on the intimate sphere of individuals' life at the crossroads of anthropology and sociology, the volume contributes fresh insights not only to the study of migration and intermarriage but also to the literature on super- and hyper-diversity. It will be of interest to scholars, students, and social actors working on family-related migration, state policies, and social cohesion"-- Provided by publisher.
