ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author recalls some of the work he saw in Berlin where the focus was on establishing a theater company composed of Syrian youth who had been living in a refugee camp near the city. He refers Alexander Schroeder, a German theater artist who created a theater company for devised performances that focus on presenting the stories of Syrian refugees with whom he has been working. A signature theory in the work of French sociologist and theoretician Pierre Bourdieu is the concept of habitus and its relationship with capitals in its multiple forms: social capital, cultural capital, and economic capital. Diasporas emerge as people flee, are pushed from, or occasionally migrate intentionally from the geographic origin of their cultural and ethnic communities. Religious scholar Thomas and Tweed studies the importance of religious symbols, artifacts, shrines, and practices.
