Research on transnational spaces in the field of migration studies, notably
since the 1990s, dedicated specific attention to the transnational
practices of migrants, which remedied the biased perspective of the migrant
considered only through the prism of immigration and not emigration. While
issues revolving around ‘assimilation’, ‘multiculturalism’ and
‘integration’ of migrants have constituted until the end of the 1980s the
bulk of social science research around migration, transnationalism studies
offered a new analytical approach, able to account for migrants’ ability to
create and maintain economic, political and socio-cultural ties between
societies of residence and origin. This transnational frame has brought
about new perspectives on return migration, revealing that the concept of
‘return’ far from equating definitive return, could be conceptualised as a
stage, a phase of the migratory trajectory that needs to be studied in all
its dimensions across time and space (Petit et al*., *2007).
Conceptualising the migrant as a ‘transmigrant’ (Glick Schiller et. al.,
1995) sheds light on other dynamics engendered by migration, notably social
(Levitt, 1998) and political remittances (Ostergaard-Nielsen, 2003;
Collyer, 2014). The study of transnational practices of migrants equally
led to an increased scholarly interest for the implications of migration
for non-migrant individuals and communities (Levitt and Lamba-Nieves,
2013).
Overall, the development of research in this field has, however, rarely
relied on intersectional analytical frames. Several theoretical
propositions appear nevertheless to be relevant to intersectional analyses
of power relations within transnational practices, such as Floya Anthias’
conceptualisation of ‘translocational positionality’ (Anthias, 2012) or
Sarah Mahler and Patricia Pessar’s work on ‘gendered geographies of
power’ (Mahler
and Pessar, 2001). This panel wishes to dedicate specific attention to
gendered and classed analyses of transnational citizenship practices,
social remittances, and circular/return migration.
This call invites papers, in French or English, which consider (notably but
not only) the following topics:
· circular/return migration, and notably intersectional analyses of these
migration patterns;
· forms of social remittances, case studies and typologies ;
· impacts of new technologies on social and political remittances ;
· social remittances of migrants and development issues ;
· social remittances as multidirectional phenomenon between society of
departure and society of residence ;
· transnational citizenship practices and their social, civic and political
implications for societies of origin ;
· circular/return migration in the light of issues around nationality,
citizenship and dual citizenship;
· the implications of emigration and circular/return migration on
non-migrant individuals/ families/ communities.
All social sciences disciplines are relevant to this call and
interdisciplinary approaches are of particular interest.
Proposals, of 500 words maximum, should be sent by *December, 10th, 2017*
to Hicham Jamid ([log in to unmask]) and Nina Sahraoui (
[log in to unmask]) and indicate name of author, current position and
affiliation. Proposals should specify the main research question, the
theoretical framework as well as the methodology followed for the
collection of the data mobilised in the paper.
Full communication papers need to be submitted by April 1st, 2018.
*Practical information (to be found on the conference website):*
