Displacement Stories: an Ethnographic Account of Seven Lives in Transit a Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Center for Inte Displacement Stories: An Ethnographic Account of Seven Lives in Transit A thesis presented to the faculty of the Center for International Studies of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Delphine M. De Gryse May 2020 © 2020 Delphine M. De Gryse. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Displacement Stories: An Ethnographic Account of Seven Lives in Transit by DELPHINE M. DE GRYSE has been approved for the Center for International Studies by Matthew Rosen Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology and Anthropology Lawrence Wood Director, Communication and Development Studies Lorna Jean Edmonds Vice Provost for Global Affairs 3 ABSTRACT DE GRYSE, DELPHINE M., M.A., May 2020, Communication and Development Studies Displacement Stories: An Ethnographic Account of Seven Lives in Transit Director of Thesis: Matthew Rosen In April 2015, more than one thousand people died while crossing the Mediterranean to reach Europe. The large numbers of people losing their lives turned this issue into a highly mediatized topic, which received the label “crisis.” These numbers became the center of a political and media debate in which displaced people were predominantly underrepresented and misrepresented. This thesis is an ethnographic account that attempts to paint a more humanistic picture of the so-called “European refugee crisis.” The work is composed of seven intimate ethnographies that bring into relief the powerful life stories of particular people who are generally left out of official and media reports about contemporary migration from the Global South to the Global North. By focusing on the personal stories of these seven individuals, this thesis sheds light on the social, historical, economic, and political dimensions of the contemporary “European Refugee Crisis” without losing sight of the people most affected by it. This is both possible and necessary because these intimate stories of the particular illustrate the macro histories of violence, colonialism, and capitalism that have resulted in the unprecedented global flows of people in the twenty-first century. 4 DEDICATION For all those whose lives have been lost or disrupted through displacement, and especially for the individuals who shared their story with me. 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank all my participants, not just the seven people who are the protagonists of this thesis, but everyone I met in the field and who was willing to collaborate. I am grateful for having met so many people who let me into their lives, opened up and shared their stories. Sharing time, ouzo, cookies, oranges, birthday wishes, kebab, laughs, anger, fear, intimidation, salty sea water or dust in the eyes, has been a very privileged experience. I was also lucky to meet people who helped me out with more practical issues, such as finding the right contacts or visiting places I would not have access to on my own. Secondly, I would like to thank my committee chair Dr. Rosen, who has always believed in me and supported me since day one, when I was a first-year student in his ethnographic methods class and only had a very vague idea about this research. Dr. Rosen has helped me giving this research shape, develop a proposal, get through the IRB protocol and process the large amount of data I came home with. I would also like to thank Dr. Rosen for his patience during our weekly meetings which always took much longer than expected because of my nature to always ask a lot of questions. I would also like to thank my two other committee members, Dr. Whitson and Prof. Plow, for sharing their knowledge about the thesis process and for taking the time to read my thesis and offer feedback. I am also happy to have won the COMREAL grant, organized by Dr. Karen Greiner, which was a very welcome financial aid for conducting my fieldwork. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Abstract ............................................................................................................................... 3 Dedication ........................................................................................................................... 4 Acknowledgments............................................................................................................... 5 List of Figures ..................................................................................................................... 7 Introduction ......................................................................................................................... 8 “European Refugee Crisis” ......................................................................................... 13 Migration and Materiality ........................................................................................... 18 Intimate Ethnographies of the Particular .................................................................... 23 Methodology ............................................................................................................... 26 Chapter Outline ........................................................................................................... 29 Chapter 1: Ahmed ............................................................................................................. 31 Chapter 2: Jimmy .............................................................................................................. 45 Chapter 3: Murat ............................................................................................................... 60 Chapter 4: Soraya .............................................................................................................. 70 Chapter 5: Riad ................................................................................................................. 82 Chapter 6: Haroon ............................................................................................................. 95 Chapter 7: Pierre ............................................................................................................. 129 Epilogue .......................................................................................................................... 140 References ....................................................................................................................... 146 7 LIST OF FIGURES Page Figure 1: Ahmed and his passport .................................................................................... 42 Figure 2: One of the shops in the streets around Hatuniye Parkı in Basmane (Izmir, Turkey) .............................................................................................................................. 43 Figure 3: Repairing and selling cellphones and vending SIM cards is a vibrant business in the streets of Basmane (Izmir, Turkey)............................................................................. 44 Figure 4: Jimmy’s Bible and the map with Les Voyages de Paul .................................... 59 Figure 5: Murat’s guitar .................................................................................................... 69 Figure 6: "Moria is so dangerous.

Only the Turkish coastline was visible, with its small twinkling lights from the orange color palette and the mountainous landscape that stood out against the horizon. The weather gods had been threatening all day and the blanket of night hadn’t calmed them down. Blasts of wind pushed the waves ashore, splashing against the rocks. People crossing from Turkey to Greece in rough seas is not uncommon. The reason, I later learned, was that traffickers give a discount when the weather is bad. They see it as guaranteed money. With no Turkish Coastguard, Hellenic Coastguard, or Frontex (the European Border and Coast Guard Agency) braving the waters to intercept their clients, the trafficked people either make it or drown. I was riding in the back of a pickup truck on the dusty and bumpy road to Eftalou, which runs directly next to the sea, trying to detect anything irregular. The smell of fire, the sound of voices, or flashes of light. The truck stopped suddenly. A man stood in the beam of the headlights. The group had just landed. Their dingy was only a few meters away. They all had a mix of fear and relief in their eyes. When they realized we were there to help, the sense of relief was immense. They had all thought they were going to die. Many were crying and one woman with a green hijab fell to the ground when she burst into tears. Almost everyone was on the phone. Although I didn’t understand their language, I could just tell that they were sharing the news with relatives. I was sure

    TRANSCRIPT—WILLIAM LEONARD Interviewee: WILLIAM LEONARD Interviewer: SAMUEL BAKER Interview Date: March 25th, 2013 Location: The Citadel, Capers Hall, Charleston, South Carolina Length: 1 hour, 38 minutes, and 15 seconds SAMUEL BAKER: Hello, good afternoon. Today is March 25th, and we’re here at The Citadel for the Veteran’s History Project. And today I’m going to be interviewing Mr. William Leonard. Would you want to start off by telling us about your childhood here in Charleston beforehand? WILLIAM LEONARD: Let’s start by that I guess. I was born in Charleston, 97 Tradd Street, in May 17th, 1925. I was born into a family, two sisters, older sisters, and one brother, and I was the youngest in the family. And my mother was from the old, one of the old families of Charleston. And my father was what we call a maverick in Charleston. He was a fella that was born in Alabama—Birmingham, Alabama—and he came here when he was two years old in 19—in 1896. And he was never a Charlestonian. But he married into a Charleston family so that made him be, be, in. He always—my father doesn’t like Charlestonians. SB: Very well, fair enough. WL: But anyway, made him a little [bit of an] outsider. I went to local schools. And ended up by going to a school in Mt. Pleasant because they started a new school over there, and they had girls in there, and I was 16 years old and was quite interested in girls. Graduated from over there in 1943, and immediately my father put me in The Citadel.

  • One Thousand Miles II
    Word Count: 2,495 One Thousand Miles “Not fair,” I shout. “It’s always Doug.” Slamming the front door, I pull out my cell, hit autodial, and start walking. “Kim, it’s me, Darcy. Mom did it again—not going—can’t. She gave the car to Doug.” Kimmie shrieks, and I inch the phone away from my ear. “I know, I know. Can you believe it? He played the I’ve got a date card again. I’m sick of this crap, tired of begging. Today is the day. When I get my car, I’m gonna drive and drive—one thousand miles—and never look back.” *** Kim picks me up, and we drive in silence. She’s driven me too many places not to know I’m upset. The trip to Russelton is long, but it helps me collect my thoughts before the big purchase: driver’s license, money, Blue Book. “Pull in here,” I say, pointing to a gas station beside the road. She parks beside one of the pumps and scans the sprinkle of fields, trees, and homes along the road. “Is it safe?” “We’re not in the boonies,” I say, knowing the only place Kim feels safe is the mall. “My Aunt Shar lives here.” I point to a yellow two-story house with a garden in the front yard. “It’s where I babysit my cousin, Maddy.” “I still can’t believe you’re doing this without your mom,” she says, checking her lip gloss in the mirror. “Want me to stay?” “Nahhh, I’m fine.” Hopping from the car, I watch her drive away before trudging down the road.

Method: Qualitative and ethnographic research developed with families during the gestational process. We adopted the observation- participation-refl ection model, and the analysis was performed according to ethnonursing.Results: Care rituals are related to the choice of home as a place for childbirth, being characterized as a family’s rite of separation to experience this process. Other care rituals involved the preparation of the family and the eldest child as well as the home, the body, and the mind of the pregnant woman, and the choice of destination of the placenta. Final considerations: We must understand the birth process beyond the biological perspective, considering women and their family as a whole, within a cultural context with their beliefs and values.
