Sylvain Perdigon’s research concerns moral selfhood, power, and kinship or “the mutuality of being” (M. Sahlins) in the Middle East. He plans to complete a book that explores how contradictory historical processes fostered by the politics of empire, nationhood, and sovereignty in the Eastern Mediterranean are refracted through everyday modes of obligation and affiliation in a Palestinian refugee community in Tyre, South Lebanon.
