Descripción / Abstract
Die prekäre Situation in den Nachfolgestaaten Jugoslawiens erzeugte eine spezifische Dynamik im Feld der Arbeitsmobilität. Wenig erforscht ist für diese Region, wie ältere Care-Arbeiterinnen aus zum Beispiel Serbien oder Bosnien in deutsche Haushalte pendeln, um dort die Alten zu pflegen – meist illegalisiert, abhängig von Vermittlungsagenturen und privaten Arbeitgebern. Dieses genderspezifische Migrationsmuster verfolgt Tanja Višić in einer vielfach verorteten Ethnografie mit Blick auf die Fragen: Wie sind die Mobilitäts- und Arbeitspraktiken der Frauen eingebunden in die sozioökonomischen Konstellationen des informellen Care-Arbeitssektors; wie sind sie in Auseinandersetzung mit den Arbeitsgesetzen und den Grenzregimes entstanden? Deutlich werden in dichten Fallstudien kulturspezifische Wahrnehmungsmuster von Care-Arbeit, Familienbeziehungen und dem Mobilwerden.
