This essay explores the working experiences of twenty-four women cleaners in two public hospitals in Athens, Greece. The participants are Albanian and ethnic Greek Albanian. It focuses on the intersectionalities of gender, ethnicity and class, drawing from ethnographic research during the period 2017–2018 in two hospital sites, which included interviews and observations with women migrant workers. The essay is structured around two key research questions: how both groups of migrant women cleaners experienced material, emotional and symbolic aspects of cleaning at the hospital, mobilising their gendered and ethnicised bodies at work; and how both groups narrated their experiences of their embodied gendered, ethnicised and classed selves, on individual as well as collective levels, to give meaning, to create a process of valuation and to construct formations of respectability. I reveal how the process of cleaning is caught between material, symbolic, emotional and embodied aspects, with migrant women cleaners forming ways of feeling respectable.

This essay applies a case study approach to theorise a research agenda for critical explorations of emotions and mobilities centred on three core concepts and key phenomena: affective habitus, spatio-temporal modalities and historical geographies. The analysis offers novel perspectives on the interplay between the affectivity of geographies of social difference and the multiscalar dynamics shaping social relations through mobility. This is demonstrated in how emotions linked to agency provide a generative lens to explore how social relationships and political subjectivities intersect to inform mobile identities/lifeworlds. The case studies offer critical insights of how migrants/refugees/indigenous people in navigating challenging structural conditions can reflect conceptualisations of the mutually constitutive contexts of emotionality and intersectional inequity with indigeneity and (im)mobility. A temporal-historical lens reveals how emotional mobilities are shaped by structural/social dynamics including, but not limited to, trauma and exclusion, historical divisions, cultural identities, border and racialised regimes, intergenerationality. These exemplifications through a case study empirical lens draw from research focusing on indigenous and Palestinian peoples.

This essay explores the emotional labour of women migrants working as domestic cleaners in a small city in England. Drawing on qualitative data gathered through in-depth semi-structured interviews, the essay foregrounds the narratives of a group whose perspectives have not been widely captured. In order to provide a good service, cleaners in the sample modified and mobilised their emotions, conveying friendliness and expressing empathy when faced with clients’ vulnerabilities. Framing domestic cleaning as relational, ‘intimate labour’ allows a better understanding of the role of migrant women in providing practical and emotional care. The analysis contributes to studies of migrant emotionality by situating cleaners’ emotional labour in the context of their transnational lives.

This essay examines how children and young people aged 11–25 in the Jewish, Greek and Palestinian diasporas in England feel towards homelands, by exploring the range of emotions that homelands elicit. Using qualitative research with young people and their parents, the essay discusses and complicates assumptions around the relationships between diasporic youth and their homelands from the perspective of mainly second- and later-generation young people. In particular, the essay contributes to the growing realisation of the importance of emotions in diaspora, as it focuses on the complexities of belonging, attachment and identity. It adds to work which stresses the need for flexible notions of diaspora, in which people are positioned differently: in this case, young people who very much feel part of a diaspora and have differing and sometimes complicated relationships with the idea(l) and reality of a defined homeland.

Justine Grace N. Abrugena
This essay discusses the transformations of family relations, dynamics and structures after reunification of Filipino migrant families in Barcelona, Spain. Ethnographic data were drawn from the narratives of eight Filipino reunited families in Barcelona. The study is anchored on a framework intertwining theories of transnationalism, gender, and family through an emotions lens in migration studies. The results bring to the fore the significance of emotions, and how emotions stem from gendered and cultural ideas. More specifically, as emotions shape migrant behaviour and decision-making in relation to reunification, so they are implicated in the transformation of power relations, roles, hierarchies and values within the family. This essay provides a typology of emotions, practices and processes in transnational family reunification that goes beyond emotional discourse in migration framed as the ‘pursuit of happiness’. Data analysis provides three sets of typology: euphoria and guilt; dependency; indebtedness and helplessness; and resentment and gratitude.
