Beschreibung

This volume offers an empirical study of everyday informal economic and political practices in Transcarpathia, a Hungarian-inhabited borderland region of Western Ukraine (Zakarpattia Oblast). Based on anthropological fieldwork and archival research conducted between 2007 and 2018, the book examines a wide range of everyday social practices, from small-scale cross-border trade, undeclared international labor, and workplace transgressions to various forms of symbolic occupation of public space and everyday practices of identity construction.<br> <br><br> Focusing on the concept of "informality," the book analyzes how these social and economic practices operated under two distinct political contexts: The Soviet regime after 1945 and the post-socialist Ukrainian nation-state after 1991. By tracing micro-level interactions between citizens and institutions, the volume provides an anthropological account of power, adaptation, and social change in a borderland setting.
