Special Issue Call for Papers on

AFFECT AND MIGRATION

Deadline: 13th of October 2017

We invite papers for a special issue of The Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies (JEMS) exploring the relationship between affect and migration. Please pass this CfP through your networks to anyone you feel might be interested in contributing.

We live in an area of increasing securitisation and border regimes. Everyday bordering has become a major technology of control (Yuval-Davis, Wemyss & Cassidy, 2017). These bordering practices impact the everyday lives of many migrants that live within the EU. At the same time, various forms of resistance have developed in the everyday - in activist and solidarity spaces, camps, art and research - which challenge and contests these increasingly violent and invasive practices.

This special issue will explore the affective dimension of migration. The motivation for this collection is the growing volume of academic work focusing on affective complexities that emphasise the need for research to attend to the world as messy (Law, 2004), sensory and affective (Stewart, 2007; Coleman, 2013, McManus, 2013). Moreover, our own research, and experience as activists, has shown us the importance of the affective aspects of the migrant experience, which often escape theories and methodologies.

This special issue aims at bringing together insights from across disciplinary fields. We welcome abstracts from scholars, artists, activists and practitioners, and non-academics who explore or experiment with the affective nature of migrant activism.

As the focus of this special edition is on understanding the more holistic experience of migration, we seek to mirror that in the way the edition is structured and understood by the reader. Therefore, we especially invite creative response to the call (which might include photo-essays, interviews, shorter articles, “blog” style posts or artist statements).

Possible themes may address but are not limited to:

  *   The intersection between affect and migration

  *   Relational ontologies

  *   Emotions, discursive structures and embodied realities that migration produces

  *   Affect as tool of resistance

  *   How affective processes, practices, sensations shape migrants experiences

  *   Everyday bordering processes and affect

  *   Affective methodologies, embodied accounts of the lived experiences of migrants

Please send title and abstract of no more than 250 words no later than FRIDAY OCTOBER 13th 2017.

Abstracts and enquiries should be sent to:

Amy Frances Wishart Corcoran a.f.w.corcoran@qmul.ac.uk AND Isabel Meier i.meier@uel.ac.uk<mailto:i.meier@uel.ac.uk>

Deadline for proposals: 13th of October 2017

Acceptance: No later than November 2017

Deadline for first-drafts: End of February 2018

*** We are also seeking to recruit one more member to our editorial team, if you are interested, please contact Amy and Isabel at the email addresses provided above***

CONFERENCE
Call for Papers

DISPLACEMENT, RESISTANCE, REPRESENTATION:
Culture and Power in Contexts of Migrancy


The Centre for the Study of Migration at Queen Mary, University of
London is pleased to announce a Call For Papers for a conference to be
held on June 28th and 29th 2012.

This conference takes its cue from the mobilization of popular modes
of resistance witnessed in the course of 2011 both through the Arab
Spring and the Occupy movement. Its aim is to connect such mass
resistance to wider existing contexts of collective displacement and
migrancy. By focusing on cultural representation (understood in the
widest sense to include the media and the arts), it seeks to address
the role of culture in negotiating resistance and representation for
those who have been displaced or cast into migrancy for a variety of
reasons that range from the economic to the political to the ecological.

Proposals for papers are invited on a range of topics of global and
comparative focus relating to questions of representation for the
displaced. The following themes are some examples of the questions and
issues that will be addressed:
- the role of culture in negotiating displacement
- the role of culture in forging modes of resistance
- the political relevance of cultural representation for the displaced
- negotiation and empowerment in contexts of displacement

Proposals are invited from academics, postgraduate research students,
artists, cultural performers and those working in the areas of culture
and migration. Papers should last no more than 20 minutes. Abstracts
and a brief bio-data of 250 words should be sent to Professor Parvati
Nair (p.nair@qmul.ac.uk) by no later than May 2nd 2012.

CFP Cultural Encounters_Exeter 21-22 May 2011

Call for Papers

Cultural Encounters: Researching Ethnicities, Identities, and Politics in a Globalised World

Host institution: Exeter Centre for Ethno‐Political Studies, University of Exeter

Dates: Saturday 21st –Sunday 22nd May 2011

The Exeter Centre for Ethno‐Political Studies (EXCEPS) is pleased to announce its inaugural postgraduate conference. We aim to bring together high‐quality postgraduates from the UK and abroad, working in the field of ethno‐politics. This event will allow young researchers to discuss questions of methodology, approach and general research ideas and issues that arise in the field.

Breaking from traditional conference formats, the conference will function more in terms of a large‐scale workshop. Students will be given the chance to present their work and engage in a group discussion, exchanging ideas about research in ethno‐politics. The overall hope is to form a research community at the postgraduate level to enhance networking and collaboration across universities and disciplines.

In EXCEPS, we aim to undertake and promote advanced empirical and theoretical research by integrating methodologies and approaches from a wide range of disciplines within our activities. We seek to problematise notions of ethnicity and identity, and explore how and why political and social life is affected by agendas and aspirations defined by 'ethnicity' or the sense of belonging to a particular community.
Students working at the postgraduate level in a field related to ethnicity, broadly defined, are invited to submit an abstract of their research. Prospective sub‐themes might include, but are not limited to:

• Migration and Diaspora
• Belonging and Otherness
• Conflicts and Regulation
• Ethnopolitics and International Law
• Terrorism and Mobilisation
• Gender and Ethnonationalism
• Culture and Memory

The conference will emphasise active involvement in an interactive, informal setting, focusing on discussion of methodology and challenges in ethno‐political research in a cross‐disciplinary context. A presentation might consist of a thesis chapter, a research proposal or a subtheme of the dissertation. For interested delegates, there is the possibility to submit their paper to the EXCEPS Working Paper series for consideration.

Please send your abstract of about 250 words along with relevant information about place of study and degree to Christine Difato at cad209@ex.ac.uk by 25 March 2011. To facilitate a worthwhile discussion, only a limited number of places are available.

Any further questions can be addressed to Christine Difato (cad209@ex.ac.uk) or Anaïd Flesken (af299@exeter.ac.uk)

For more information about our activities, see the EXCEPS web site and the PGR Network Ethnicity blog.

CFP_Within and Without: Representing Diasporas in Europe: Cardiff, 13 May 2011

Within and Without: Representing Diasporas in Europe
School of European Studies, University of Cardiff
May 13th 2011

Europe is a diasporic continent, with Belgian, British, Dutch, French, German, Irish, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish populations scattered across the globe. Yet it is also home to diasporic communities based in Europe, coming from both within and outside of the continent. The aim of this symposium is to explore the way in which diasporas in Europe are depicted in literature, film and the press, exploring the ways in which a sense of cultural and geographical dislocation inform concepts of identity, otherness and (un)belonging in the host nation. The symposium will examine the intersections between cultural, religious and pan-European identities within the diasporic community, in the destination culture and in contact zones.
Contributors are invited to address European diasporas within Europe (such as the Italian communities in Britain) and/or diasporas from outside the continent (such as the Turkish communities in Germany).

Topics may include (but are not restricted to):
- Explorations of ethnic identity in the literatures of the diaspora, and the host nation
- Depictions of 'home' in diasporic cultural production
- The shaping of cultural memory in the diaspora
- Press coverage of the diasporic culture in the host nation
- Comparison of integration of European populations within European and non-European diasporas (e.g. Italians in Germany and the U.S)
- Ghettoization and blending
- Iconography of the diaspora
- The construction of space (rural and urban, private and public, blurred boundaries)
- The diasporic gaze
- Orientalism in one continent
- Theoretical approaches to diasporic writing

The one-day symposium will take place on Friday May 13th 2011 at the School of European Studies, University of Cardiff.
There will be a fee of 15GBP, which includes lunch, tea and coffee and a wine reception.
Abstracts of 300 words, and a brief biography, should be sent to:
Dr Liz Wren-Owens (Wren-OwensEA@cardiff.ac.uk) by January 31st 2011.

Call for paper: Displaced Women (Glasgow 29 March 2012)

Displaced Women:
Multilingual Narratives of Migration in Europe

Organised by Dr. Lucia Aiello, Dr. Joy Charnley, Dr. Mariangela Palladino

29 March 2012
Glasgow Women’s Library
5 Berkeley Street, Glasgow, G3 7BW
t: 0141 248 9969 e: info@womenslibrary.org.uk

This interdisciplinary conference will provide a forum for discussion of the issues facing women who have moved from one culture to another and have as a result adopted in their daily lives and for their creative work a language other than their ‘mother tongue’. We will look at the creative, linguistic, economic and psychological effects of this displacement. The critical examination of women’s narratives in Europe (fiction, poetry, diaries, memoirs, pamphlets), from a literary perspective will be complemented by sessions looking at these issues from a historical, political and sociological perspective. The broad nature of this conference provides an excellent opportunity for exchange between researchers in different disciplines who do not always have the chance to come together (literature, cultural studies, social sciences, history etc). In addition, the chosen venue is doubly significant with regards to both women and migration: Glasgow, city of emigration and immigration and the Glasgow Women’s Library, focus in Scotland for much important work on feminism, and women’s history and creativity.

Themes to be covered include the following:

Migrant women: narratives and experiences, multilingual narratives of containment and human resistance; articulating the ‘state of exception’ in a ‘foreign’ tongue; narratives of ‘Eco-Diaspora’ and spaces of environmental crisis;

Multilingual literature, Translation issues in multilingual works, translating cultures; Linguistic ownership; Language and the country of sanctuary; seeking refuge in an-‘other’ language; Translating practices in legal narratives; human dispersal and
the linguistic experience;

Migration; nationality and citizenship; migration policy: past, present and future; speaking from ‘humanitarian corridors’; encampment, removal, deportation, detention; human waste and landscapes of waste: a female perspective.

Abstracts in English of no more than 300 words should be sent by 29 APRIL 2011 to
Lucia Aiello (L.Aiello@sheffield.ac.uk), Joy Charnley (j.charnley@phonecoop.coop) and Mariangela Palladino (p.mariangela@googlemail.com). Papers should be 20 minutes in length and accessible to a multidisciplinary audience. Proposals for thematic workshops are also welcome. The publication of a selection of papers following the conference is planned.

London Royal Geographical Society Annual Conference (31 Aug.-2 Sept 2011)_Call for Paper for session on "Returning Migration"

(Re-)Imagining ‘Return Migration’: Language, concepts and contexts

London 31 August-2 September 2011

Session organisers: Anastasia Christou (Sussex) and Madeleine Hatfield (RHUL and RGS-IBG).
Sponsored by the Population Geography Research Group of the RGS-IBG.

Return migration has increasingly become the subject of research that seeks to go beyond previously taken-for-granted assertions of such mobilities as straight forward due to the assumed familiarity of the destination. This research has addressed the experience of moving to somewhere one has lived before or to where one is thought to belong under a number of sub-headings including not just return migration but repatriation, reflux or cyclical migration, diasporic or ancestral return and homecomings. It has studied migrants returning after a short time and after generations; as children, adults and households; together and apart; from higher to lower and lower to higher income countries; painfully, hopefully and forcefully.
This growing body of research, then, also has the potential to allow us to (re-)imagine and (re-)think what ‘return migration’ is or could be; and to (re-)consider how the words we use are not just terminology but active constructs that affect the ways in which return migration is experienced, understood and imagined. We therefore invite researchers of return migration in different contextual and disciplinary settings to showcase their research and present on the conceptualisation, application and documentation of return migration as broadly defined.
Please submit proposed paper abstracts (c. 250 words) for consideration of inclusion in the session to organisers Anastasia Christou (A.Christou@sussex.ac.uk) and Madeleine Hatfield (madeleine.e.hatfield@gmail.com) by 4 February 2011.

ESF-LiU Conference on 'Home, Migration and the City: New Narratives, New Methodologies', Linköping, Sweden_6-10 August 2010

- Call for Applications -

There has been a recent surge of scholarship from human geography, sociology, history, architecture, and cultural studies that focuses on migration as a social, political, cultural and material process. This area of research on migration examines migrants' transnational spatial practices, social and political identities and relationships with the state. Central to this research has been a recognition that at the heart of migration lies a fundamental transformation in spaces and places that are linked to the social and cultural meanings of home and belonging.

Migration brings about a material change in the places and locations through which notions of identity, individual expressions and belonging are transformed. Through the movement of people, for instance, cities, homes and localities become re-narrated through migrants' stories, photographs, music, artwork and films. Cities in particular, as places of origin and (re)settlement become key sites of migrants' experiences of 'home'(s). The experience of Europe over the past fifty years is a good example; urban spaces have increasingly become contested locations where the spatial and material nature of identities are negotiated - Muslim/Christian, European/non-European, first/second generation of migrants. Much migration research, moreover, connects home and nation by investigating migrants' connections with past, present or imagined 'homelands'. Home can now also be described as translocal, transnational and diasporic - shaped by consumption, remittances and social networks. The domestic spaces inhabited by migrants are especially important for their roles in constructing attitudes and behaviours towards 'others' when strangers share living spaces in the city. Home can even be redefined through its 'socio-technical' differences across national spaces. This conference offers an opportunity to bring these social, spatial, material and technological facets of migration together - to consider migrants' identities and experiences of homes and cities, and the material, aural and visual landscapes of mobility and movement.

This conference takes 'narratives' - broadly defined as stories, diaries, myths, photographs, music, films, media images and representations of movement - as the analytical starting point for new research on migration. Narratives have several dimensions. Firstly, migrant narratives need to be understood as inherently spatial. As is widely acknowledged, migrants' stories of movement are often stories of different places at different moments, and thus are essentially 'spatial stories'.
Secondly, this spatiality of migration narratives is multi-scalar; it can relate to belonging on a national, political scale, represent locality dynamics, more small-scale, personal experiences of migration, or even the material narratives of migration, such as stories of significant objects and material culture. The political element of the larger scale narratives is especially important; it is these that foster the exclusion and inclusion of migrants in societies. Thirdly, the performative element of migrants' narratives is very strong; not all narratives are textual but instead are enacted through music, theatre, film, food, or dance.
Finally, such narratives can also be highly visual, corporeal, and embodied, whether through media representations, artwork, or architecture. Such a broad conceptualisation of migrant narratives demands new interdisciplinary theories and methodologies to understand the interconnected landscapes of home, migration and the city.

Invited Speakers will include (list to be completed):

Call for Paper: Travelling Languages: Culture, Communication and Translation in a Mobile World

Travelling Languages:
Culture, Communication and Translation in a Mobile World

10th Annual Conference of the International Association of Languages and Intercultural Communication (IALIC) in Association with the Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change, Leeds Metropolitan University.

3 - 5 December 2010, Leeds, United Kingdom

organised by Jane Wilkinson (University of Leeds) and Mike Robinson (Leeds Metropolitan University).


The world is ever ‘on the move’. The opportunities and challenges of both real and virtual travel are very much at the heart of the emergent interdisciplinary field of ‘mobilities’, which deals with the movement of peoples, objects, capital, information and cultures across an increasingly globalised and apparently borderless world. In the practices, processes and performances of moving – whether for voluntary leisure, forced migration or economic pragmatism – we are faced with the negotiation and re-negotiation of identities and meaning relating to places and pasts.

Within the increasing complexities of global flows and encounters, intercultural skills and competencies are being challenged and re-imagined. The vital role of languages and the intricacies of intercultural dialogue have largely remained implicit in the discourses surrounding mobilities. This Conference seeks to interrogate the role of intercultural communication and of languages in the inevitable moments of encounter which arise from all forms of ‘motion’.

This international and interdisciplinary event is the 10th anniversary conference of the International Association of Languages and Intercultural Communication (IALIC) and is being organised in association with the Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change. Through this event we aim to bring together many of the sub-themes of previous IALIC conferences and to focus upon the issues of culture, communication and translation in a mobile world, including: languages and intercultural communication in local and global education, tourism, hospitality, migration, translation, real and virtual border-crossings.

CALL FOR PAPERS
We are pleased to receive 20 –minute research papers or descriptions of pedagogical practice which address or go beyond the following themes:

* Moving languages - continuities and change;
* Real and virtual border crossings;
* Tourist encounters and communicating with the ‘other’;
* Tourism’s role in inter-cultural dialogue;
* The languages of diasporas and diasporic languages;
* Dealing with dialects and the evolution/dissolution of communities;
* Hospitality and languages of welcome;
* Learning the languages of migration;
* Lingusitic boundaries and socio-cultural inclusions and exclusions;
* ‘Located’ and ‘dislocated’ languages and identities;
* Practices and performances of translation.

Please submit an abstract of no more than 500 words including title and full contact details as an electronic file to Jane Wilkinson at IALIC2010@leeds.ac.uk. You may submit your abstract as soon as possible but no later than 1st June 2010.

Please send any queries to us at IALIC2010@leeds.ac.uk
