Abstract

There are specific places today where a considerable proportion of displaced humanity tends to find a “home.” These are mostly confined spaces that reproduce living conditions reduced to the bare essentials, namely, mere survival. Against the backdrop of a brief firsthand experience in a camp for displaced persons in troubled postwar Kosovo, this contribution aims to explore a fundamental question of research in such confined spaces: how to ethnographically describe the places to which displaced humanity is confined?
