Short Abstract:

Throughout the mid-20th and 21st century Europe has been a crossroads of mobility perpetuating the on-going circulation of bodies, objects, and ideas. With regard to the (recent) global movements the panel aims to rethink the trajectories of actual and imagined (re)migration and mobility in Europe.

Long Abstract:

Since the term cultural flow (Appadurai) has been coined in the 1990s, interdisciplinary research has turned its interest to exchange processes taking place between cultural systems across time and space, controlled by specific mechanisms of selection, mediation, and reception. In liquid modernity (Bauman), in which constructing a durable and consistent identity becomes increasingly impossible, cultural flow means the circulation of bodies and objects, identities and ideas, conflicts and affects, but first and foremost their relentless (re)thinking, (re)interpretation, and (re)signification. Exploring these processes means to identify en- and exclaves of cultural hegemony (Hall), reflect on the relationship between influence and power, and investigate the interconnections and formations of in- and outgoing agents.

Europe as a (post)conflict space experiences a considerable intensification of (re)migration and mobility movements shaped by several groups of people: from labour and leisure expats, over students and bi-/transcultural families, to expels, refugees and migrants due to political, religious, sexual or gender-based violence. The panel considers this wide spectrum of agents, spaces and motivations as entangled and embedded in the political, the affective, and with strong resonances for power.

We welcome contributions that present fresh empirical material, reflections on methodological, theoretical, and analytical approaches related to mobility, area, heritage, gender, and/or affect studies such as: environmental and epistemic experiences of migrants; affects, practices and strategies of (re)migration and mobility; cultural flow in modern diaspora, trans-national, and -local families; musealization of (re)migration and (in)tangible heritage; intersectional perspectives on (re)migration, ethnicity, class, and gender.
