"This book challenges the taken-for-granted status of organizations such as the Red Cross and Medecins Sans Frontieres by problematizing humanitarianism. It is a unique contribution to organization studies, re-reading humanitarianism to show that humanitarian organizations essentially serve as global disciplinary institutions."

"ABSTRAKThis article summarizes a country study on Iraq conducted by the Humanitarian Agenda: 2015 project of the Feinstein International Center, Tufts University, between October 2006 and May 2007.* Based on a sample survey of perceptions of humanitarian action among Iraqis at the community level and among humanitarian agencies in the region, the study focuses on what Iraqis and aid workers believe to betrue about the way in which the humanitarian apparatus has functioned or malfunctioned in Iraq, and why. Its findings confirm both the strength of the humanitarian ethos in Iraq and the operational value of principled humanitarianism, but call attention to significant gaps at ground level between ethos and practice."

"ABSTRACTMelihat persoalan representasi pengungsi dan pencari suaka tidak seharusnya terbatas pada kajian terhadap liputan media. Tulisan ini berfokus pada self representation pengungsi di Instagram, salah satu platform media sosial yang paling banyak digunakan di dunia, yang juga tidak dapat dipahami secara terpisah dari kehidupan sehari-hari mereka sebagai pengungsi. Berangkat dari pengamatan terhadap pengungsi muda Oromo, dipahami bahwa penggunaan Instagram dan media sosial lainnya merupakan sebuah partisipasi online untuk mengisi hari-hari mereka selama hidup dalam transit. Tidak hanya memfasilitasi mereka untuk mengakses hiburan dan pengetahuan baru, Instagram juga menjadi sebuah ruang untuk mereka membangun dan mempertahankan relasi, serta merepresentasikan diri mereka sendiri, untuk berbicara tentang dan untuk diri sendiri dengan foto, video, dan caption. Hal ini termasuk merayakan momen-momen duniawi mereka, sekaligus mengakses dan mengekspresikan kegembiraan itu sendiri. Berbagai postingan mereka tersebut memicu rekonstruksi refugeeness dalam benak audiens atau sesama pengguna Instagram yang mengenal mereka sebagai pengungsi dan telah berinteraksi secara online dan offline. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini menawarkan untuk menempatkan refugeeness dalam ruang dialektis agar membuka pemahaman yang menyeluruh dan kontekstual terhadap kehidupan para pengungsi, khususnya urban refugees yang hidup dalam transit.

ABSRTRACTSeeing the matter of representation of refugees and asylum seekers should not be bounded in terms of media coverage, this paper focuses on refugees self-representation in Instagram, one of the most used social media platform in the world, which also cannot be understood separately from their daily life as refugees. Drawing from the observation on young Oromo refugees, it is realized that the use of Instagram and other social media is a form of online participation to fill their days while living in transit. Not only facilitates them to access entertainment and new insights, Instagram also provides a space for them to build and maintain relations, and represent themselves, to talk about and for themselves with photos, videos and captions. This includes celebrating their mundane moments as well as accessing and expressing happiness itself. Their posts later become even more interesting in regards to its effect on the audience or other users who know them as refugees and have interacted with them online and offline, for it evokes a reconstruction of refugeeness. Therefore, this paper offers to place refugeeness in a dialectic space to open a thorough and also contextual understanding towards the lives of refugees, especially urban refugees living in transit."

"From Empire to Humanity: The American Revolution and the Origins of Humanitarianism tells the story of a generation of American and British activists who transformed humanitarianism as they adjusted to being foreigners in the wake of the American Revolution. In the decades before the Revolution, Americans and Britons shared an imperial approach to charitable activity. Growing up in the increasingly integrated British Atlantic world, future activists from the British Isles, North America, and the Caribbean developed expansive outlooks and connections. For budding doctors, this was especially true. American independence put an end their common imperial humanitarianism but not their transatlantic ties, their far-reaching visions, or their belief that philanthropy was a tool of statecraft and reconciliation. In the postwar years, with doctor-activists at the forefront, they collaborated in medical philanthropy, antislavery, prison reform, poor relief, educational charities, and more. The nature of their cooperation, however, had changed. No longer members of the same polity, the erstwhile compatriots adopted a universal approach to their beneficence as they reimagined bonds with people who were now legal strangers. The basis of renewed cooperation, universal benevolence could also be a source of tension. With the new wars at the end of the century, activists optimistic cosmopolitanism waned while their practices endured."
