Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Description and the Aims: This course will explore the flow of people across national boundaries in the late twentieth century and how migrants build and sustain border-crossing connections and networks; focus on the different kinds of institutions involved in this process and their change in time; concentrate on the key concepts of transnational migration perspectives, like ethnicity, community, locality, sovereignity, and multiple membership. The aim of the course is to familiarise the students with the main theories of transnational migration, their conceptual network, and their distinct trajectories of development in the US and Europe, as well as their blind spots in close relation to these trajectories. The latter point will be addressed throughout the course not as a separate weekly topic. On the basis of selected case study material addressing transnational migration and the related processes in different parts of the world, we will focus on transnational migration patterns and the social, economic, cultural and political repercussions of migrant transnational social formations on the nation-states involved. One of the objectives of this course is to analyse the interface between migrant formations and the state and the challanges transnational migration poses to religious and political formations, citizenship schemes, agencies of development, and to urban politics .

Prüfungsstoff

Structure: Seminars will begin with a short lecture by the instructor and will be followed by a presentation/introduction of that week’s topic, in which student(s) responsible for that week will present the readings structured by critical comments and questions (depending on the number of students registered to the course). This introduction will be followed by a discussion. For each session there will be two or three key (required) texts. Those preparing the introduction of the topic could also include the optional (suggested) readings into their presentation, in addition to the key texts. It is inevitable to prepare in advance for the seminars, as there is a strong emphasis on class participation.At the end of each meeting, the instructor will distribute few questions (as a hand out) to rethink the discussed readings of the week further and to relate them to the readings of the previous weeks.
