Subject: Transnational identities - cities unbound - migrations redefined - CRONEM conference
Transnational identities - cities unbound - migrations redefined
International conference organised by
Centre for Research on Nationalism, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism (CRONEM), University of Surrey
and Centre for European Studies at the Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland
6th - 8th October 2006
Centre for European Studies, Jagiellonian University
Kraków, Poland
AIM OF THE CONFERENCE
This conference will focus on the most up-to-date research on migration and urban social spaces in the 21st century. By stressing the dynamic, processual and contingent character of modern migration, we will challenge the dominant discourse which sees migration as a linear, one-dimensional and definitive act. Our aim will be to link the city - understood as a fluid social space of meaning and capital production - to the analysis of today's age of migrations.
This conference in Krakow, which has its own complex urban and migrant history, will bring together social scientists to generate new ideas and understandings about the relationship between migration and the city.
