Jutta Lauth Bacas (coordinator of the EASA MedNet network) and Marion
Näser-Lather (University of Marburg) acted as guest editors of a Special
Issue of the journal *Ethnologia Europaea* (Vol 48:1, 2018) with the title:
Practices of Resistance. In this special issue fresh anthropological
research is presented on localized practices of resistance by protest
groups, solidarity initiatives and cultural projects arisen in
Mediterranean countries in wake of the crisis after 2008. Based on
ethnological and anthropological fieldwork in France, Slovenia, Italy and
Greece, the volume (48:1, 2018) offers insight into the media-based protest
against the commodification of the so-called Panier, a historic
harbour-district of Marseille (Philip Cartelli), into urban gardening in
Ljubljana as a practice opposing the growing neoliberal market economy
(Saša Poljak Istenič), and the movement Genuino Clandestino, a solidarity
network of small-scale farmers in Italy (Alexander Koensler). Three more
case studies focus on social movements in Greece: a solidarity network in
Volos, where citizens developed an alternative exchange and trading system
(Andreas Streinzer); grassroots mobilizations as resistant practices in the
inner urban neighbourhood of Exarchia/Athens (Monia Cappuccini); and
finally rural solidarity networks on the Peloponnese peninsula (James
Verinis). A comparative discussion on similarities and differences in
Mediterranean protest movements (Jutta Lauth Bacas and Marion Näser-Lather)
identifies underlying common features in these clearly different practices
of protest: among others, the major role of face-to-face interaction and
mutual trust.
