NeBoCo. New Borderlands or Cosmopolitanism from Below?

The international conference links theories of border, concepts of cosmopolitanism and citizenship in Migration Studies. It is organized by the EMMIR Consortium in collaboration with School of Linguistics and Cultural Studies, School of Education (University Oldenburg), the Laboratory for Critical Migration and Border Regime Studies (Georg-August University Göttingen) and the African Centre for Migration and Society (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa).

The overall aim of the conference is to make a significant contribution to the development of migration theory. In order to achieve this, it will focus on three interlinked concepts: border(land), citizenship and cosmopolitanism. These are currently highly debated in transnational and transdisciplinary academic discourses – initiating a fruitful dialogue between them might lead to paradigmatic shifts in migration studies and beyond. In order to do so, the conference examines specific dimensions of the ongoing deep transformation of statehood, citizenship, sovereignty and identity formations in sending, transit, and receiving states (cf. Mezzadra).
The conference programme is divided in three sections, each combining keynote lectures and panels, with keynotes by (in alphabetical order) Dr. Chris Allen (University of Birmingham/UK) Prof. Dr. David B. Coplan (University of the Witwatersrand/South Africa), Dr. Iriann Freemantle (University of the Witwatersrand/South Africa), Dr. Encarnacion Gutierrez-Rodriguez (University of Manchester/UK), Prof. Dr. Marion von Osten (Academy of Fine Arts/Vienna, Austria), Prof. Dr. Ranabir Samaddar (Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group/India), Prof. Dr. William Walters (Carleton University/Canada).
The foci of the sections are:
I Border Regimes: Formations of European and African Border(land)s
II Border Imaginaries: On the Discursive (De-)Construction of Demarcation Lines
III Transgression of Borders and Transnational Social Experiences: A New Cosmopolitanism or Translocal, Postnational Citizenship
In addition workshops for graduates and postgraduates are planned.
