The right to have rights and irregular migration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Workshop organisers:\u00a0<\/em>Anna Lundberg<\/strong>, Malm\u00f6 University,\u00a0Michael Strange<\/strong>, Malm\u00f6 University &\u00a0Mikael Sp\u00e5ng<\/strong>, Malm\u00f6 University.<\/p>\n

Irregular migration raises several questions about access to human rights, the basis of human rights and political action among and on behalf of stateless persons. In this workshop we will take a look at these questions in the light of Hannah Arendt\u2019s discussion of the right to have rights in\u00a0The origins of totalitarianism\u00a0<\/em>and her reflections on modernity in\u00a0The human condition<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Papers addressing questions about irregularity in the context of theoretical accounts of human rights are invited, as well as more general approaches to the question of political action in theory and practice.<\/p>\n

ARTS-BASED MIGRATION RESEARCH –\u00a0emerging connections between arts and social sciences<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

International migration, in all its dimensions and complexity, should be studied from multiple perspectives and with varied approaches. This workshop aims at exploring migration beyond the traditional boundaries of social science by integrating arts practice as a basis for analyses of migration. Arts-based research is here understood as a diverse set of methodologies that are based in artistic processes as a way of formulating research questions and collecting empirical material. Furthermore, the outcome of the analysis is often presented in artistic forms. Arts-based research is also understood as a methodology that can take the research process in directions that traditional science cannot. As migration often involves experiences that are difficult to write down or put words on, so called tacit forms of knowledge, we find it relevant to explore what we can learn about migration from arts-based research.<\/p>\n

This panel aims both at enhancing new (forms of) knowledge about migration and at stimulating the discussion about arts-based research within the field of migration studies. Migration is here understood in a broad sense. It can, for instance, refer to international and internal migration, diversity and ethnic relations, as well as responses to and experiences of migration and diversity.<\/p>\n

We invite presentations about migration that combine arts-based practice (performance, installation, photo, poetry, etc.) with social science analytical perspectives and methodologies (ethnography, visual sociology, etc.). Contributions with a theoretical focus, as well as more practice-based presentations are welcome. This open invitation might include, but is not limited to, discussions on arts-based methodologies in migration studies, arts-based empirical analysis of migration, and the role of art in social research and in migration.<\/p>\n

The accepted paper abstracts will be put together into one or two coherent research workshops consisting of three to four paper presentations each. In order to facilitate the discussion, a discussant among the presenters will be appointed to each paper presentation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
