Complicity and Antagonism: Anthropological Views of Geneva

A Sociograph volume on the Complicity and Antagonism: Anthropological Views of Geneva is now available for download. Edited by Alessandro Monsutti, Françoise Grange Omokaro, Philippe Gazagne and Sandro Cattacin, this collective work offers unique research findings surrounding the topics of cities and migration. 

Focusing on Geneva, this volume includes texts and drawings produced by students of the Master of Anthropology and Sociology at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies. It focuses on the social dynamics observed during the spring semester 2014 in the weekly market in Les Grottes, a gaming hall in Plainpalais, the Sentier des Saules in the Jonction neighbourhood, a Lebanese restaurant not far from the main train station, or during a guided walking tour in the street of Les Pâquis. 

Through small everyday life stories, this collective work reveals the subtle, micro-political logic in the public sphere.
