International Workshop: January 23-24, 2017 / Herder Institute for Historical Research on East Central Europe – Institute of the Leibniz Association, Marburg
The core of the Workshop will consist of a series of panels. The aim of the panels will be to address the following questions:
SESSION 1: Historical framing of recent Jewish and Non-Jewish migration from East and Central Europe to Germany
What is the place of recent streams of Jewish and non-Jewish immigrants from the (former) Soviet Union and East and Central Europe in the larger history of immigration to Germany and East-West migration in European history? How do these streams of migration inform our understanding of the transition of 1989? How has the arrival and integration of these immigrants aff ected discussions and understandings of national identity in Germany?
SESSION 2: The essay as medium
What are the limitations of using essays as source material? How are essays similar and diff erent from other personal and authored materials found in archives? How do essays compare to other approaches that rely on contemporary, first-person accounts, like oral history? What advantages and disadvantages of using an administered contest as a collection method?
SESSION 3: Migrant strategies
What was it like to be an emigrant and immigrant in the late-20th century? What were their personal strategies and praxis? Have there been particular strategies or distinctive patterns of adaptation, integration and identifi cation that Jewish or non-Jewish immigrants employ? Or that characterize immigrants from postsocialist states? What roles have state organs, communal and co-ethnic associations or organizations played in shaping these experiences?
