Examining ten participants’ accounts, collected through online semi-structured interviews, we explore the benefits and challenges of alliance-building between privileged and marginalised group members by foregrounding both straight and queer voices and experiences. We conclude with reflections on the challenges encountered in the health and human rights project as indicative of both the limitations and the productive possibilities for (un)learning allyship and developing more ‘horizontal’ forms of alliance-building through highlighting pluralistic voices and experiences.KEYWORDS: Masculinityallyshipsexualitysporthomosociality Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsGabriel Knott-FayleGabriel Knott-Fayle is a Postdoctoral Scholar of Masculinities Studies in Education.

Along with the increased movement of racialized (Muslim) men to the EU’s shores have come crisis narratives about their otherness to b/order them. These borders operate in everyday encounters between migrant men and local communities as much as between groups of migrant men themselves, whether it is in the realm of livelihood strategies, romantic desires, assertions about sexuality and sexual identity, homosocial interactions, or friendships. This SI uses the frame of ‘transitions’ to interrogate how transitions in masculinities and masculine self-perceptions are shaped by b/ordering that is enacted every day and in the everyday against racialized migrant men. It argues that masculinized Islamophobia and masculine border(ing) thicken borders between these men and the natives to justify the men’s migrant (un)deservingness. The SI also brings into discussion strategies of masculine resistance and refusal that b/ordered men undertake through enactment and embodiment of caring masculinities or by their refusal to subscribe to norms of hegemonic masculinity.","PeriodicalId":37885,"journal":{"name":"NORMA","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136097495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Masculine borders as alienation of racialized, undocumented south Asian migrant workers in Greece","authors":"Reena Kukreja","doi":"10.1080/18902138.2023.2260291","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/18902138.2023.2260291","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTBangladeshi, Indian, and Pakistani low-class male migrants in Greece are marked by migrant precarity due to their undocumented status and by a flattened South Asian racialised masculine identity. Collectively othered, they struggle with symbolic borders created by colonial and postcolonial encounters, national identities, religion, and masculine expectations. This article explores how ideologies of prejudice and divisiveness in Greece work in tandem with articulations of othering and national (un)belonging from the men’s home countries to define both their interpersonal relationships and labour outcomes in Greece. It proposes the concept of ‘masculine borders’ to describe processes through which culturally specific masculinities of South Asian men are (re)produced or reconfigured relationally and hierarchically to each other by the capitalist project with the aim of alienating and discipling workers. With such everyday bordering discourses, a novel articulation of Marxian alienation of workers from each other emerges. In this case, masculine norms mesh with Islamophobia and racism to thicken masculine borders between Bangladeshi, Pakistani, and Indian men, assisting in the efficient accumulation of surplus by the capitalist class.KEYWORDS: Greeceborderingracismalienation of labourmasculine borders AcknowledgementsI am grateful to Ardis Ingvars for proposing a seminar on bordering regimes and masculinities in transition of racialized migrant men in Reykjavik and the Department of Sociology, University of Iceland, and RIKK-Institute for Gender, Equality and Difference for hosting it.

Looking at mixedness as a social laboratory in which to study the intersection of gender, migration and parenthood, the findings suggest that the rupture with the polygamous model of their fathers lay behind the decision of some of these men to marry a woman from the majority group and adhere to the model of fatherhood of the new country of settlement. However, for the majority of the participants, the findings demonstrate that fatherhood is much more complex than the dominant binary division between traditional and Western models of fatherhood assume. These fathers experience ambivalent emotions and constantly struggle in mediating their double presences and absences as fathers: on the one hand, they have established, thanks to the native partner, a privileged closer relationship with the new context, but, on the other, they may experience a sense of ‘dissonance’ in the management of their masculinity and of ‘loss’ in the transmission of the self to their children.","PeriodicalId":37885,"journal":{"name":"NORMA","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135980507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to issues of capacity and political will, the Skype calls were most frequently ignored, and applicants often continued calling without response every week for months to years in the hopes of receiving international protection, documentation, and social benefits. This paper explores the experiences of a handful of men who called on Skype with no response and decided to exit the system. In particular, it theorizes these exits as political acts of refusal that generate new possibilities of masculine self. Building upon doctoral fieldwork conducted in Athens, Greece, the paper discusses the challenges posed to masculinity by a technologized border regime that forced individuals to face digitalized alienation and erasure, considering the strategies that men employed to contest the system and safeguard their masculinities. The article contributes to refugee studies, critical studies of men and masculinities, and studies of digital bordering.","PeriodicalId":37885,"journal":{"name":"NORMA","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135981614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The masculine performance of desirability is examined through the intersectional lens of racialization, affective bordering, sexualities, and erotic encounters. The paper builds on multi-sited ethnographies, conducted mainly in Greece and Germany between 2012 and 2022, centred around masculinities in border activist movements. During first encounters, the men in this study would position themselves as autonomous desirable beings. However, they quickly experienced dismissal or sexual objectifications. They were sexually desired as exotic but discarded as potential life partners, due to the lack of aspirational labour and uncertain legal status. Thus, their beings became depleted in the technologies of the white desire that exploits marked bodies. In affective response, they negotiated the terms of their recognition. Their tactics included shaming women’s choices, deflating local men’s hegemony, forming reciprocal contracts, and visioning love in the future. This pattern continued through men’s engagements across European borders and was repetitive. Therefore, I argue that they performed a ‘poetic desirability’ to position their masculine beings as equal and in resistance to the bordering violence of white (un)desire.","PeriodicalId":37885,"journal":{"name":"NORMA","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43281858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interviewees articulate a simpli fi ed distinction between singlehood in Europe and singlehood in Bangladesh or Syria. Singlehood has been theorized as wavering between a period of waiting and a lifestyle with its own inherent value. In our sample, while Bangladeshis describe bachelorhood as a period of waiting, distancing themselves from what they see as European singlehood, Syrians tend to embrace singlehood as inherently valuable and prefer a ‘ European way ’ of being single. We argue that this di ff erence between the groups is connected not primarily to national or regional cultures, but to how racialized borders shape the two groups in Europe, as well as to the role of class positionalities in determining attitudes toward singlehood.","PeriodicalId":37885,"journal":{"name":"NORMA","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41905638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
