It builds on his more recent research (Papataxiarchis 2016a, 2016b) on the multi-scalar impact of the \u201crefugee crisis\u201d at local, regional and national levels, and his subsequent theoretical conceptualization of the \u201chumanitarian village\/city\u201d, a nexus for the interconnections between the various components of the humanitarian arena in areas with great numbers of asylum seekers and a large concentration of humanitarian actors (Papataxiarchis 2017).<\/p>\n<br>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">\nIn Skala the PI continues this research through a deeper focus on the formation of the assemblage of official and unofficial initiatives, mechanisms, and structures that compose the humanitarian scene of this small community. He explores the process of founding the first reception and transit camps as well as the other \u2018structures\u2019 of humanitarian assistance in the locality, by foreign and local humanitarian actors during the first phase of the \u2018refugee crisis\u2019.<\/p>\n<br>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2170 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/humancity.sah.aegean.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC00613-scaled-e1653475976227-1024x591.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/humancity.sah.aegean.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC00613-scaled-e1653475976227-1024x591.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/humancity.sah.aegean.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC00613-scaled-e1653475976227-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/humancity.sah.aegean.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC00613-scaled-e1653475976227-768x443.jpg 768w, https:\/\/humancity.sah.aegean.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC00613-scaled-e1653475976227-1536x887.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/humancity.sah.aegean.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC00613-scaled-e1653475976227-2048x1182.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/humancity.sah.aegean.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC00613-scaled-e1653475976227-1568x905.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\n<br>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">\nResearch in Skala has a double objective. On the one hand, it attempts the historical reconstruction of the humanitarian microcosm in Skala through a combination of ethnography with oral history. The realization of the above objective is also based on the PI\u2019s ethnographic knowledge of long-established cultural schemes of social (inter)action and exchange, studied by the PI during his initial fieldwork in Skala a few decades ago, and is methodologically informed by a particular attention to the perspective of locals and humanitarians.<\/p>\n<br>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">\nOn the other hand, research in Skala discusses the formation of the humanitarian arena in terms of social interaction between a multiplicity of actors. In this regard, it gives emphasis to the role of mediation in the humanitarianization process and examines the strategies of mediators and their interactions with local society as well as their effects on the form and content of the humanitarian arena. Mediation offers an angle to grasp what is socially, politically and culturally generated at the local level by the \u2018refugee crisis\u2019 and the potentialities that are inherent in its current management.<\/p>\n<br>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">\n<span style=\"font-family: var(--font-base, 'Noto Sans', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', 'Roboto', 'Oxygen', 'Ubuntu', 'Cantarell', 'Fira Sans', 'Droid Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif); color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">References<\/span><\/p>\n\n<br>\n \t<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">\nEvthymios Papataxiarchis,\u00a0\u201cBeing \u2018there\u2019: At the frontline of the \u2018European refugee crisis\u2019\u201d, Parts 1 and 2,\u00a0<i>Anthropology Today<\/i>\u00a032(2): 5-9 and 32(3): 3-7<span lang=\"EN-GB\">, 2016a<\/span>.\n<a style=\"color: #f47732;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/301235252\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/301235252<\/a>\n<a style=\"color: #f47732;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/303747467\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/303747467<\/a><\/p>\n<br>\n \t<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">\nEvthymios Papataxiarchis, \u00ab\u039c\u03b9\u03b1 \u03bc\u03b5\u03b3\u03ac\u03bb\u03b7 \u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03bf\u03c0\u03ae; \u0397 \u2018\u0395\u03c5\u03c1\u03c9\u03c0\u03b1\u03ca\u03ba\u03ae \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03c6\u03c5\u03b3\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03ba\u03c1\u03af\u03c3\u03b7\u2019 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03bf \u03bd\u03ad\u03bf\u03c2 \u03c0\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03b9\u03c9\u03c4\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03cc\u03c2 \u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u2018\u03b1\u03bb\u03bb\u03b7\u03bb\u03b5\u03b3\u03b3\u03cd\u03b7\u03c2\u00bb [\u201cA big reversal: The \u2018European refugee crisis\u2019 and the new patriotism of \u2018solidarity\u2019\u201d].

The research is focused on gathering, analyzing, and presenting the\u00a0<b>\u201chumanitarian landscape\u201d of Lesvos\u00a0<\/b>in its multiple dimensions, and at different times, the results are recorded in a dynamic interactive atlas of the island.<\/p>\n&nbsp;\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">\nThe two different time periods studied -summer 2019 to the beginning of 2020 and March 2020 to today- follow the transformation in the shaping of the island\u2019s humanitarian landscape, which is associated both with changes in migration policy and the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, they refer to moments of dramatic change, like the destruction of Moria camp (Reception and Identification Center \u2013 RIC) in September 2020 and the consequent construction of the new \u201cMavrovouni\u201d camp.<\/p>\n&nbsp;\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">\nThe process of documentation and analysis concerns three distinct levels: documentation and presentation of quantitative data about asylum seekers on the island; qualitative and quantitative mapping of the actors who produce \u201chumanitarian work\u201d; and, finally, analysis of the social and political impact of humanitarian governance and of the presence of asylum seekers in the island on local society.<\/p>\n&nbsp;\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">\n<span style=\"font-family: var(--font-base, 'Noto Sans', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', 'Roboto', 'Oxygen', 'Ubuntu', 'Cantarell', 'Fira Sans', 'Droid Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif); color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">References<\/span><\/p>\n<br>\n\n \t<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">\nKarathanasis, P.

This part of the project examines two important models of accommodation for asylum seekers: a) the municipal camp of Eleonas and b) apartments of the ESTIA project, which is funded by a special EU program and is implemented under the auspices of the Ministry of Immigration and Asylum in cooperation with different partners (e.g., the Municipality of Athens and several NGOs).<\/p>\n&nbsp;\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">On the other hand, the focus is on <strong>unofficial forms of mediation<\/strong> by collective initiatives, migrant collectivities, or private actors. The project examines forms of accommodation such as apartments, squats and other arrangements. It ethnographically investigates forms of sociality of Afghan and Pakistani asylum seekers, in relation to existing migrant networks, collectivities and places of religious activity.<\/p>\n\n<br>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \"><strong>Ethnographic research on two different models of asylum seekers settlement<\/strong><\/p>\n&nbsp;\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">Ethnographic research on the settlement of asylum seekers in Athens, in the camp of Eleonas and in ESTIA program apartments, was undertaken by Marica Rombou-Levidi. Research involved ethnographic fieldwork in the two \u201cspaces\u201d; nevertheless, the conjuncture of the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated important modifications in methodology. Part of the research in Athens had to be carried online. The researcher\u2019s interlocutors were asylum seekers, people working for state or private institutions, humanitarian actors, and members of local society. Fieldwork \u2212on the ground or online\u2212 was carried out between June 2020 and July 2021. In both cases, communication between the researcher and the interlocutors was facilitated by interpreters, who translated oral interviews from Farsi, Dari, Pashto, Urdu, and Arabic into Greek. In the case of Greek, English and French speaking asylum seekers, communication was not mediated by interpreters. In total, ninety-five interviews have been collected. Seventy of these were recorded and transcribed; the audio folders and written transcripts have been integrated in the Archive of the Observatory of the Refugee and Migration Crisis in the Aegean.<\/p>\n&nbsp;\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2265 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/humancity.sah.aegean.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/photo_2020-09-14_10-32-23-e1653476831797-1024x668.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/humancity.sah.aegean.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/photo_2020-09-14_10-32-23-e1653476831797-1024x668.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/humancity.sah.aegean.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/photo_2020-09-14_10-32-23-e1653476831797-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/humancity.sah.aegean.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/photo_2020-09-14_10-32-23-e1653476831797-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/humancity.sah.aegean.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/photo_2020-09-14_10-32-23-e1653476831797.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \"><strong>Ethnographic research on unofficial forms of Pakistani and Afghan asylum seekers\u2019 settlement.\n<\/strong><\/p>\n&nbsp;\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">The ethnographic research aimed to study (inter)mediation in the case of informal forms of Pakistani and Afghan asylum seekers\u2019 settlement in Athens and was undertaken by Ervin Shehu. In terms of methodology, this research was largely carried out on the ground, focusing on four distinct spaces: Victoria Square, a neighborhood in Metaxourgeio, the \u201cPatogh\u201d as an ethno-cultural spatial category, and the Afghan Migrant and Refugee Community of Greece. It drew on the lived experience of the researcher\u2019s interlocutors, the sharing of their everyday life, and narrative interviews with them; the latter bring to light both the qualitative characteristics as well as the time frame of the period during which the researcher followed his interlocutors\u2019 course. It is an ethnography \u201cin motion\u201d, which reflects the researcher\u2019s participatory and supportive engagement with the management of everyday life issues.<\/p>\n&nbsp;\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: justify; width:750px; \">Fieldwork began at the end of February 2020 and coincided with the peak of the public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In total, thirty-eight interviews were conducted. The audio recordings have been integrated in the Archive of the Observatory of the Refugee and Migration Crisis in the Aegean. Some material has also been collected through desktop research, including reports and other documents about the asylum seekers, written by humanitarian organizations, solidarity groups, activists, volunteers, and academics. Finally, networking with online communities gave the researcher access to online conversations and initiatives of the people under study.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9a9ecbf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9a9ecbf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3c82fa4\" data-id=\"3c82fa4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15bfdae elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"15bfdae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a0c91bf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a0c91bf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d797a94\" data-id=\"d797a94\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a87d8c8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a87d8c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9e1169c elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9e1169c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28e87ea\" data-id=\"28e87ea\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4eecd4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c4eecd4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"text-align: left;
