Friendship ties among young artisanal gold miners in northern Benin (West Africa)
Abstract: 'Der Text analysiert Freundschaftsbeziehungen unter männlichen jungen Goldgräbern in Westafrika, in einem Fallbeispiel aus Nordbenin. In einem von Unsicherheit geprägten sozialen Umfeld hat Freundschaft sowohl eine hohe emotionale Bedeutung als auch eine Solidarfunktion. Der Beitrag geht auf die Logik der Freundschaftsbeziehungen ein, verweist aber auch auf ihre Ambivalenzen und unterschiedlichen Grade von Intimität. Es wird gezeigt, dass Freundschaftsbeziehungen vor allem auf Normen des Teilens sowie der gemeinsam geteilten Erfahrung als Minenarbeiter und Migranten in den Goldgräberorten beruhen. Trotz der vielfältigen Konfliktlinien im handwerklichen Goldbergbau weisen diese Bindungen ein hohes Potential sozialer Integration in eine ethnisch heterogene Migrantengemeinschaft auf.'
