Scales of Solidarity: Navigating Economic Moralities<br>

This text, chapter two of my manuscript<span> </span><i>Selective Solidarity: Talk and the transmission of middle-class moralities in transnational Senegal</i>, offers a semiotic approach to “economic moralities,” (normative expectations of material obligation
and entitlement). It considers the material entailments of speakers’ shifts in moral stance and alignment, analyzing how family members alternate between scales of solidarity in unfolding interaction. I highlight two notions of “solidarity” central to the
material lives of middle-class Senegalese in Paris: first, that of the French government, which posits aid offered by the welfare state as contingent on immigrant “integration” and second, expectations of “solidarity” among Senegalese transnational kin, which
are rooted in asymmetric but complementary relations of rank-based redistribution. I then examine how economic moralities link forms of language materiality (Cavanaugh & Shankar 2017) across domains, analyzing how speakers draw acts of material circulation
into analogous relation through explicit language (moral narratives that treat food sharing as indexical of economic solidarity) and more tacit, nonreferential means like verbal registers. I trace interdiscursive connections between language that mediates
everyday acts of exchange, like food sharing, and moral discourses that shape resource redistribution beyond the household, to argue that the semiotic grounding for economic practice is woven in everyday interactions among children and caregivers.
