Since the summer of 2015 a wave of voluntary engagement with refugees has spread throughout Europe. In this context, tensions and concerns around the issue of help, power and solidarity have been debated. This article contributes to this debate by focusing on volunteering in the context of a so-called European refugee crisis.Based mostly on participant observation and informal interviews, this study explores the need to help from the point of view of volunteers and different actors within emerging formal and informal networks. In particular, my research aims at understanding the complex meanings of volunteering and its contested social role.On the one hand, based on data gathered during several months of fieldwork in Bern, Switzerland, this study examines volunteers' perceptions, expectations and motivations. On the other hand, it focuses on ongoing negotiations of the role of volunteering, within an emerging network of established aid organizations, faith-based institutions, community organizations and volunteers.The anthropological critique on humanitarianism provides a theoretical basis for analyzing the moral obligations perceived by volunteers and the effects of the resulting relationships. Political theory will be employed in order to investigate emerging urban arrangements linked to volunteering in Bern. Based on my preliminary conclusions, I propose that by looking at humanitarian interventions, such as volunteering, the current position of civil society and its social and political potential can be demonstrated |

Based on my preliminary conclusions, I propose that by looking at humanitarian interventions, such as volunteering, the current position of civil society and its social and political potential can be demonstratedDesde el verano de 2015, una ola de compromiso voluntario con los refugiados se ha extendido por toda Europa. En este contexto, se han debatido las tensiones y preocupaciones en torno a la cuestión de la ayuda, el poder y la solidaridad. Este artículo contribuye a este debate centrándose en el voluntariado en el contexto de la llamada crisis europea de los refugiados.Basado principalmente en observación participante y entrevistas informales, este estudio explora la necesidad de ayudar desde el punto de vista de los voluntarios y los diferentes actores en el seno de redes formales e informales emergentes. En particular, mi investigación tiene como objetivo comprender los complejos significados del voluntariado y su controvertido papel social.Por un lado, a partir de datos recogidos durante varios meses de trabajo de campo en Berna, Suiza, este estudio examina las percepciones, expectativas y motivaciones de los voluntarios. Por otro lado, se centra en las negociaciones en curso sobre el papel del voluntariado, dentro de una red emergente de organizaciones humanitarias, instituciones religiosas, organizaciones comunitarias y voluntariado.La crítica antropológica sobre el humanitarismo proporciona una base teórica para analizar las obligaciones morales percibidas por los voluntarios y los efectos de las relaciones resultantes. Recurriré a la teoría política para investigar arreglos urbanos emergentes vinculados al voluntariado en Berna. Sobre la base de mis conclusiones preliminares, propongo que es a través de las intervenciones humanitarias, como el voluntariado, que se puede atestiguar la posición actual de la sociedad civil y su potencial social y político 22016-01-0120162016-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/167548https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.5565/rev/grafowp.29reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
