metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This paper draws its data from fieldwork on female Russian migrants in Japan, paying close attention
  to their material practices and, notably, their craftwork. The discussion focuses on the
  objects and clothes observed in localities where these material practices are enacted, namely,
  migrants’ homes and places where migrant festive events take place. Second-hand shops are
  discussed in detail as a popular shopping destination among Russian migrants. This paper
  also looks at online groups for Russian-speaking migrants in Japan that serve as sites for the
  display and exchange of their material possessions. In these offline and online spaces, migrants
  search for ways to affectively reenact the materiality and accompanying sensations of
  their pre-migratory past, while simultaneously interiorizing the material expressions of the
  host culture. By investigating the connection between migration and materiality through the
  evocative ethnography approach, this study attempts to explore how the affective turn in social
  inquiry helps us better capture the multilayeredness of migrant experiences. The processes of
  procuring, making, and sensing that the migrants are engaged in and the resulting objects
  function as locales charged with affective forces that enable actors to subdue the displacement
  they have experienced as a result of migration and try out new meanings and modes of being.
