Description
Bridging the gap between migration studies and the anthropological tradition, Ghassan Hage illustrates that transnationality and its attendant cultural consequences are not necessarily at odds with classic theory. In The Diasporic Condition, Ghassan Hage engages with the diasporic Lebanese community as a shared lifeworld, defining a common cultural milieu that transcends spatial and temporal distanceâ?"a collective mode of being here termed the â?odiasporic condition.â?? Encompassing a complicated transnational terrain, Hageâ?Ts long-term ethnography takes us from Mehj and Jalleh in Lebanon to Europe, Australia, South America, and North America, analyzing how Lebanese migrants and their families have established themselves in their new homes while remaining socially, economically, and politically related to Lebanon and to each other. A At the heart of The Diasporic Condition lies a critical anthropological question: How does the study of a particular sociocultural phenomenon expand our knowledge of modes of existing in the world? As Hage establishes what he terms the â?olenticular condition,â?? he breaks down the boundaries between â?ousâ?? and â?othem,â?? â?ohereâ?? and â?othere,â?? showing that this convergent mode of existence increasingly defines everyoneâ?Ts everyday life.A
