Le Liban est un creuset d'incertitudes, d'imagination, d'imprévus où se déploient des luttes tout à la fois régionales et globales. Les similitudes de parcours entre la biographie de l'autrice et l'histoire du pays fournissent l'occasion d'un éclairage sur plusieurs sujets tels que la religion, le politique, l'État, le colonialisme, les rapports de classe et de race, la pauvreté, la citoyenneté, les droits, le genre, la famille, les notions de personne et de soi. Cet article auto-ethnographique offre ainsi de revenir sur les cinquante années de terrain effectuées par l'autrice dans son pays d'origine qui ont donné lieu au croisement de ces différentes perspectives de recherche.

Thus far, scholarship on subjectivity, relevant to Arab men as well as women, skirts the key issue of "intentionality." Feminist scholars often conflate agency and intentionality. Agency, as it is approached, is attached to the subject in the aftermath of observing actions. Intentionality invites a probe into before and during actions. The two main approaches to intentionality in psychology are "drive" theory and "relational-models." First, I briefly consider drive theory. Second, I examine relational concepts from the field of psychology, by way of a query, ending with a discussion of Kenneth J. Gergen's Relational Being: Beyond Self and Community (Oxford University Press, 2009). Third, I review some of the standing tropes through which Arab women as subjects are viewed. Fourth, I explore what these inquiries could mean for the study of Arab women's subjectivity and intentionality. Finally, I gesture toward questions on methodologies and languages.

We live in an age of history-making. We live in an age of liquid boundaries, malleable categories, moving and movable human subjects. We live in an age of unspeakable horror, illegible events, incomprehensible human actions. We live in an age of unimagined heroics, unthinkable sacrifices, unforeseen human capacities.We live in an age of uprisings, upended authorities, unbounded rage. We live in an age of speed, motion that seems unnavigable, movement that seems untrackable. We live in age of unprecedented documentation, inconceivable surveillance, uncontrolled intelligence. We live in age of megalith media, lightning communication, urgent immediacy from near and far.

Patrimonialism has been used to explain the "backwardness" of Middle Eastern states, their "lacks." Patrimonialism, however, may undermine its own insights by creating false binaries and false histories. The author suggests family/families as a point of departure and political familism as a conceptual step toward reframing analysis of state/citizen relationships in Lebanon. Political familism refers to the deployment of family institutions, ideologies, idioms (idiomatic kinship), practices, and relationships by citizens to activate their demands in relation to the state and by state actors to mobilize practical and moral grounds for governance based on a civic myth of kinship and public discourse that privileges family. Political familism addresses the processes by which states and citizens mutually constitute a set of public practices that reproduce the privileged position of "family," even as specific family relations and practices diverge from discursive presumptions.

A new lexicon for studying families living across and between the borders of states and nations emerged in the past two decades, with "transnational families" as a dominant concept. This study challenges three of the key assumptions in the literature on transnational families by focusing on a case study of Lebanese families who have migrated to North America in the past decade. Ethnographic data on who wants to migrate, their identification with the nation, the nature of the family, and its geographical stakes suggest a need to rethink the transnational families literature on nationalism, bilocality and bifocality, and nuclearity. Presenting the case of five closely related and connected families from the same Christian village in the Metn region of Lebanon, the paper argues that their experiences offer new insights into the relationship between nation and family, and nation and women; situate women's agency within these families; and reconfigure the meaning of deterritorialization.
