Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Description and Aims: This course aims to develop a framework to approach the practices and dynamics of migrants and their settlement processes in relation to migration industries, agencies and actors involved in the management and governance of migrants and refugees and their mobilities. It will also address the differential ordering of migrants, refugees, displaced people, forced migrants, and undocumented in scholarship and policies. In doing so it will also engage with the challanges and the limitations of the transnational migration paradigm in tackling these questions in the current historical conjuncture. Thus one part of the course will focus on reflecting on the relationship between the transnational migration paradigm and fundamental structural and cultural changes that are reconfiguring the conditions of migration, including its directionalities, multiscalar actors, systems of governance, social movements, and academic frameworks of study. In this part of the course, the focus will be on the key concepts of transnational migration perspectives, like ethnicity, community, locality, sovereignty, and multiple membership in relation to the blindspots of transnational migration paradigm. The course will also explore the methodological questions transnational migration research, despite its blindspots facilitated to address, such as multiscalar and relational comparative research.
