{"title":"Immobility and crisis: rethinking migrants’ journeys through Libya to Europe","authors":"Marthe Achtnich","doi":"10.1017/lis.2021.12","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/lis.2021.12","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Much work on recent unauthorized migration via Libya to Europe – often framed as a migration ‘crisis’ – is focused on linear movement, isolated snapshots and points of arrival on European shores. Migrants’ experiences along their journeys and prior to arriving in Europe, important for their future mobilities, are neglected. By highlighting multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in Libya and Malta, this paper calls for an analytical focus on immobilities along the journey, so as to develop a more nuanced account of the lived experiences of mobile life. Immobility retrieves situations and relations erased by linear accounts of migration. When looked at in comparative terms through the journey, immobility reveals the variegated forces that shape mobile life.","PeriodicalId":40059,"journal":{"name":"Libyan Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":"154 - 158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44017892","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}

L’auteur indique toutefois que la rareté des sources textuelles oblige parfois les chercheurs à interpoler les données disponibles pour esquisser au moins un tableau reconnaissable de la vie de l’Église africaine du début de l’époque vandale. Cependant, il semble imprudent de tirer des conclusions hâtives sans prendre en considération les données archéologiques et épigraphiques. L’auteur analyse par la suite les neuf catéchèses pré-baptismales de l’évêque de Carthage; chacun d’entre elles se concentre sur des sujets légèrement différents, bien qu’elles partagent les mêmes images et motifs. Cette partie du livre offre une reconstruction de la préparation pré-baptismale en Afrique vandale. La dernière partie de l’ouvrage portant le titre de «Quodvultdeus’s Catechetical Ministry in the Unpleasant Times » (223–302) est organisée autour de deux chapitres : « Building the Community » (224–256), « Defending the Church » (257–302). La thèse soutenue par l’auteur dans cette partie est que les sermons de Quodvultdeus peuvent révéler quelque chose de sa personnalité d’évêque-prédicateur. David Vopřada nous donne là un remarquable exemple d’analyse approfondie et sensible et d’exégèse pleinement réussie. L’auteur soutient l’idée que malgré les artifices rhétoriques employés pour amener son public vers l’objectif qu’il s’est fixé pour son troupeau, les sermons de Quodvultdeus ne peuvent être interprétés uniquement comme des traités théologiques indépendants. Il nous montre dans les dernières pages de cette troisième partie qu’il a bien compris la différence herméneutique entre ce que dit le prédicateur et ce qu’il pense réellement. Vient ensuite la conclusion générale (303–308), la bibliographie du travail (309–335) et les indices (336–367). Ce livre présente de façon certaine l’avantage indéniable d’offrir une étude exhaustive de la pensée de Quodvultdeus de Carthage. Malgré les défauts de l’un ou l’autre des chapitres, il s’avère un outil de bonne facture, utile aux spécialistes de l’Afrique tardo-antique pour mieux appréhender la pensée des prélats africains de l’époque vandale. En revanche, il laisse au lecteur de procéder à la réalisation de la synthèse qu’esquisse trop rapidement sa conclusion générale. Mais la stimulation intellectuelle ne constitue-t-elle pas ce que tout lecteur serait en droit d’attendre d’un livre digne de ce nom ?","PeriodicalId":40059,"journal":{"name":"Libyan Studies","volume":"98 ","pages":"191 - 192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/LIS.2021.5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41281938","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}

This issue has been helped by the use of new technologies, in this case remote sensing and QGIS software. Archaeological evidence has been uncovered and more than 3,900 sites and monuments have been detected on the sides of these mountains. In addition to the inventory of unknown archaeological sites, the main aim of the work was to draw up a management and conservation plan to provide, with an order of priority, a strategy for the safeguard and conservation of the mountain heritage. This management plan was only possible through a correlation of three data: assessment of values, identification of threats, and study of the state of conservation. These components were studied using an indirect evaluation based on satellite imagery and direct evaluation through field visits.","PeriodicalId":40059,"journal":{"name":"Libyan Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":"71 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/lis.2020.17","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47421261","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}

No. 2, from the same tomb, is an anthropomorphic stele for another woman, which is discussed on the basis of the dead person's name and the vicinity of the stone to the preceding stele. No. 3, from the middle plateau below Cyrene, is a marble panel with the epitaph of two women named Cornelia, increasing our knowledge of the Cornelii family in Cyrenaica.

Abdalla","doi":"10.1017/lis.2021.2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/lis.2021.2","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract New archaeological discoveries south of Khartoum in south-central Sudan are enhancing our ability to determine the spread of items originating from the Meroitic state 2000 years ago, beyond the political borders of the state. For the first time in a full-length paper, this research aims to increase our knowledge of archaeological sites dating to this period along the very poorly understood White Nile. The conditions of the sites are outlined, archival research was undertaken through an examination of the original excavation notes and records, and the importance of future research is highlighted. The results shed new light on the features of the communities living to the south of the state as well as how they interacted with the Meroitic state. The conclusions suggest that the lack of civil, political, and religious Meroitic constructions are indicative of a lack of political control over the White Nile where the archaeological evidence demonstrates that fisher-hunting activities predominated. However, there were commercial relations between these rural areas, and the Meroitic state was based on the White Nile's need for ivory, wood, animals, slaves, and perishable items such as leather, and on the presence of Meroitic products such as amulets, gold ornaments, iron arrowheads, and pottery.","PeriodicalId":40059,"journal":{"name":"Libyan Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":"159 - 165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/lis.2021.2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42560518","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}

Our second half-century will bring new challenges and opportunities. This note outlines our strategy to maintain our focus on Libya while acknowledging that Libya has always been embedded within wider networks of influence, trade and engagement across the Mediterranean and throughout North and Central Africa. We want to acknowledge this broader geographical remit more clearly with a new subtitle for this journal: Libyan Studies: a Journal of North African and Mediterranean Cultures. This subtitle also points to the benefits of engaging other academic communities beyond our traditional, core constituencies of archaeology, ancient history and history – not least because a broader engagement with contemporary research will help to maintain the Society's strength, relevance and sustainability. Likewise, we aim to engage more interest from the Libyan and North African diaspora in Britain.
