Dear Colleagues,
Please consider joining our panel MIGRATION AND HOUSING IN CONTEMPORARY
CITIES. OPPORTUNITIES TO STAY, MOVE AND SETTLE at the VIENNA
ANTHROPOLOGY DAYS (VANDA) 2018.
The panel addresses opportunities of migrants to stay, move and settle
on urban housing markets. Aiming at a locational analysis of migration
and housing, the panel presents ethnographic research that considers the
role of capital flows, public and private actors as well as immigrant
agency for the opportunities migrants find in urban locations.
The Vienna Anthropology Days take place from 19-22 September. The
conference seeks to bring international anthropologists to Vienna as
well as showcase research at the University of Vienna to an
international audience, and allows to exchange and network for potential
future collaborations. The event is jointly organized by the Institute
of Social Anthropology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ISA), the
Weltmuseum Wien, and the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology
of the University of Vienna (IKSA). This is the link to the conference
call:

In case you are interested to contribute a paper, please send us an
abstract (max. 300 words) by June 1.
We would be very happy if you would consider joining us in Vienna in the
fall!
Many Thanks,

Short abstract
The panel addresses opportunities of migrants to stay, move and settle
on urban housing markets. Aiming at a locational analysis of migration
and housing, the panel presents ethnographic research that considers the
role of capital flows, public and private actors as well as immigrant
agency for the opportunities migrants find in urban locations.
Long Abstract
In recent years, some scholars have started talking about migration
without taking one migrant group or the national state as an entry
point, but location. Such literature (Glick Schiller and Caglar 2011)
looks at the opportunities and constraints that more or less established
residents and new migrants find in one location. We consider housing –
its availability, condition and use – as important to understand
dynamics of inclusion and exclusion in the context of im/mobility and
settlement. This approach opens up several questions concerning
migration and urban development in contemporary cities:
• What chances do migrants have to stay and what forces migrants to move
houses? – Or, to put it in a different light – Who has the possibility
to move houses and who is forced to stay?
• How do capital flows and economic resources inform opportunities and
constraints for migrants on urban housing markets?
• How do private and public actors in the field of urban planning enable
or constrain migrants to stay, move and settle?
• What agency do migrants exercise in creating housing opportunities and
in navigating the lack of housing opportunities?
We invite papers that present an anthropological analysis of migration
and the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion in the realm of housing.
Aiming at empirically rich contributions, we welcome concrete
ethnographic case studies in different cities. Contributions may focus
on global or peripheral cities, as well as on specific neighbourhoods
and semi-urban areas.
