CfP - Heritages of Migration: Moving Stories, Objects and Home
Dates: 6 – 10 April 2017
Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina
About: In their movements between old and new worlds, migrant communities carry with them practices, traditions, objects and stories that are transmitted across new communities and through generations. This conference seeks to explore the layering of global cultures that has been produced by centuries of global migration, and its effect on memory, identity and belonging, as well as its effects on tangible and intangible heritage. The conference is designed encourage provocative dialogue across the fullest range of disciplines. Thus we welcome papers from academic colleagues in a wide range of fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Performing place and new inscriptions of placelessness
• Migration and urban territories – settlement processes and practices

• Diasporic heritage communities
• Migrating memories
• Representations of migration/immigration in popular culture
• The heritage of trans-Atlantic encounters – ways and means of crossing distances
