Migrations and Mobilities
by Seyla Benhabib Judith ResnikBibliography: http://www. nyupress. org/webchapters/9780814775998_benhabib_biblio. pdf In an increasingly globalized world, the movement of peoples across national borders is posing unprecedented challenges, for the people involved as well as for the places to which they travel and their countries of origin. Citizenship is now a topic in focus around the world but much of that discussion takes place without sufficient attention to the women, men, and children, in and out of families, whose statuses and treatments depend upon how countries view their arrival. As essays in this volume detail, both the practices and theories of citizenship need to be reappraised in light of the array of persons and of twentieth-century commitments to their dignity and equality. Migrations and Mobilities uniquely situates gender in the context of ongoing, urgent conversations about globalization, citizenship, and the meaning of borders. Following an introductory essay by editors Seyla Benhabib and Judith Resnik that addresses the parameters and implications of gendered migration, the interdisciplinary contributors consider a wide range of issues, from workers' rights to children's rights, from theories of the nation-state and federalism to obligations under transnational human rights conventions. Together, the essays in this path-breaking collection force us to consider the pivotal role that gender should play in reconceiving the nature of citizenship in the contemporary, transnational world. Contributors: Selya Benhabib, Jacqueline Bhabha, Linda Bosniak, Catherine Dauvergne, Talia Inlender, Vicki C. Jackson, David Jacobson, Linda K. Kerber, Audrey Macklin, Angela Means, Valentine M.

Migrations in Medieval and Early Colonial India
by Vijaya RamaswamyThis book looks at movements of communities which formed the lower and middle rungs of society in medieval and early colonial India. It presents migration, mobility and memories from a specifically Indian perspective, breaking away from previous Eurocentric studies. The essays in the volume focus on labour, peasant and craft migrations, and in fleshing out the causes and trajectories taken by these communities, they speak to each other by addressing similar issues as well as documenting varying responses to analogous situations.A fascinating history of migrations ofpeople from below the volume adopts a trans-disciplinary approach and uses inscriptions, official records, and literary texts along with community narratives and folk tradition. This will be of great interest to scholars and students of migration and diaspora studies, medieval and modern South Asian history, social anthropology and subaltern studies.
Migrations in the German Lands, 1500-2000 (Spektrum: Publications of the German Studies Association #13)
by Jared Poley Jason Coy Alexander SchunkaMigration to, from, and within German-speaking lands has been a dynamic force in Central European history for centuries. Exemplifying some of the most exciting recent research on historical mobility, the essays collected here reconstruct the experiences of vagrants, laborers, religious exiles, refugees, and other migrants during the last five hundred years of German history. With diverse contributions ranging from early modern martyrdom to post–Cold War commemoration efforts, this volume identifies revealing commonalities shared by different eras while also placing the German case within the broader contexts of European and global migration.
Migrations in the Mediterranean: IMISCOE Regional Reader (IMISCOE Research Series)

This Regional Reader provides an interesting read to scholars, researchers, but also policy makers and civil society organizations’ high representatives, international foundations and institutions interested in linking the Mediterranean and migration.
Migrations, Arts and Postcoloniality in the Mediterranean (Routledge Focus on Art History and Visual Studies)
by Celeste IannicielloThis book is focused on the transcultural memory of the Mediterranean region and the different ways it is articulated by contemporary art practices and museum projects linked to migrations, exile, diaspora and transnationality. The artistic and curatorial examples analysed in this study articulate a critical relationship between the cultural representations and the sense of heritage, property and belonging, offering the opportunity of a more problematic and stimulating vision of the preservation of the European arts, traditions and histories. Artists and projects examined include the project Porto M in Lampedusa, Zineb Sedira, Ursula Biemann, Lara Baladi, Mona Hatoum, Emily Jacir, Kader Attia and Walid Raad.
Migrations, Identities and Democratic Practices in India
by Samir Kumar DasThis book explores contesting identities, international politics, migration and democratic practices in the context of globalizing India. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research, it looks at one of the oldest migratory routes across a volatile region in eastern India which is fraught with violent claims of separate statehood. The book offers an account of how the ‘North Bengal’ region has acted as a gateway to migrant populations over time and points to why it must be understood as a shifting and liminal space through a study of Bodoland, Gorkhaland, Kamatapuri, Siliguri and the Greater Cooch Behar movements. It shows the region’s politics of identity or quest for homeland not as a means of compensating for the lack or absence of identity, but as an everyday practice of living that very absence, across borders and boundaries, without arriving at any definitive and stable identity, along with impacts and manifestations in democratic political processes. A major intervention in modern political theory – shedding new light on concepts such as home and homeland, space and self, sovereignty, nation-state, freedom and democracy – this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of political science, modern South Asian history, sociology and social anthropology, and migration and diaspora studies.

Migrations: A History of Where We All Come From
by DKDiscover how the migration of peoples has shaped the modern world. This beautifully illustrated book details the movement of people and cultures around the world – from the early migrations of Homo erectus out of Africa 50,000 years ago to modern refugee movements and migrations. Through vibrant photographs, illustrations, and maps, Migrations explores famous (and infamous) movements in history, from the Middle Passage and Trail of Tears to the California Gold Rush, the Italian diaspora, and the Windrush generation. While many traditional world histories focus on (mainly European) &“exploration&” and &“discovery,&” Migrations explores the story of each continent and focuses on cultures rather than conquest. Migrations highlights the human story and the positives: what has survived, not just what was destroyed. Migrations is a history book with a fresh perspective, focusing on a topic ever more relevant in the modern world: Where did we come from? And what brought us here?

Migrationsforschung als Kritik?
by Paul Mecheril Susanne Arens Oscar Thomas-Olalde Claus Melter Elisabeth RomanerBestimmte Spielarten kritischer Migrationsforschung suchen - direkt oder indirekt - auf den gesellschaftlichen Raum einzuwirken, der wissenschaftlich zum Thema wird. Der Band widmet sich sowohl in grundlegenden Erwägungen als auch der Präsentation und Reflexion empirischer Studien den Möglichkeiten und Spielräumen kritischer Migrationsforschung: Was beansprucht eine Migrationsforschung, die sich kritisch versteht, zu bewirken? Und: Was kann sie bewirken? Wem nützt Kritik wodurch?
Migrationsforschung als Kritik?
by Paul Mecheril Susanne Arens Oscar Thomas-Olalde Claus Melter Elisabeth RomanerMigration verweist auf Strukturen und Prozesse, in denen konstitutive Unterscheidungen gesellschaftlicher Realität - wie etwa 'Wir' und 'Nicht-Wir' - wirksam sind und reproduziert werden. Der Band fragt nach Möglichkeiten und Grenzen von Migrationsforschung, die sich kritisch auf die Macht- und Herrschaftsdimensionen dieser gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse bezieht. Methodologische Fragen, Aspekte des Verhältnisses von Migrationsforschung und Politik sowie die politischen und epistemischen Ansprüche kritischer Migrationsforschung werden in empirisch-konkreter und abstrakt-allgemeiner Weise behandelt: Wodurch aber wird Migrationsforschung zu 'kritischer Forschung'? Welches Kritikverständnis liegt der Migrationsforschung zugrunde? Woran und von wo aus wird Kritik ausgeübt? Welche Grenzen und Probleme verbinden sich mit sich kritisch verstehender Migrationsforschung?
Migrationsgesellschaftliche Diskriminierungsverhältnisse in Bildungssettings: Analysen, Reflexionen, Kritik
by Paul Mecheril Susanne Bücken Noelia Streicher Astride VelhoDass in pädagogischen Zusammenhängen nicht nur das Thema Diskriminierung zum Gegenstand werden kann, sondern pädagogische Settings selbst Orte der Diskriminierung sein können, stellt den Bezugspunkt des vorliegenden Bandes dar. Mit Bezug auf diese gewissermaßen Verdopplung des Themas Diskriminierung in pädagogischen Settings werden in dem Sammelband Komplexitäten, Widersprüchlichkeiten und Verstrickungen, welche grundlegende Spannungsverhältnisse der kritischen Thematisierung migrationsgesellschaftlicher Diskriminierung betreffen, analysiert und reflektiert. Die Beiträge wenden sich dabei unterschiedlichen pädagogischen Bereichen zu.
Migrationspolitik zwischen moralischem Anspruch und strategischem Kalkül
by Antonia ScholzZur Rolle von Einwanderungskultur in der Entstehung neuer politischer Steuerungskonzepte zu Migration und Integration war bislang wenig bekannt. Antonia Scholz analysiert, inwiefern moderne Migrationspolitik dem Einfluss politischer Ideen unterliegt. Die Autorin erläutert inhaltliche und qualitative Entwicklungslinien der Migrationspolitiken in Deutschland und Frankreich vor dem Hintergrund der unterschiedlichen Einwanderungstraditionen beider Länder. Im Vergleich der Migrationsregime wird deutlich, welche Rolle Wahrnehmung und Deutung in der Migrationspolitik spielen.
Migrationspädagogische Perspektiven auf den erst-/herkunfts-/mutter-sprachlichen Unterricht
by İnci Dirim Assimina Gouma Marion Döll Sabine Guldenschuh Maria WeichselbaumDer Band fokussiert empirische und theoretische Forschung zu Organisationsformen, konzeptionellen Perspektivierungen und didaktischen Ansätzen zum herkunfts- bzw. muttersprachlichen Unterricht aus migrationspädagogischer Perspektive. Welchen Beitrag leisten diese zur gesellschaftlichen Positionierung der Schüler*innen? Wie wird der Bezug zu den als „Herkunftsländer“ geltenden nationalen Kontexten hergestellt und gestaltet? Wie wird damit umgegangen, dass die Migrationssprachen nicht nur Kommunikationsmittel, sondern auch gesellschaftliche Differenzmerkmale sind?
Migratory Men: Place, Transnationalism and Masculinities (Routledge Research in Gender and Society)
by Yang Zhao Garth StahlForegrounding the ways in which men experience transnational migration, Migratory Men: Place, Transnationalism and Masculinities considers how we conceptualise and theorise mobile men in a global context. Bringing together studies from around the world (e.g. Australia, Pakistan, Tunisia, Zimbabwe and Italy), this collection foregrounds how the transnational migratory experience profoundly reshapes men’s complex identity practices. Specifically, the collection highlights how transnational migratory aspirations and experiences often lead men to reimagine local patterns of masculinity and/or reaffirm prescriptive gender roles as they encounter new spaces/places. In presenting interdisciplinary research, the international scholars consider the powerful roles of economics, politics and social class in shaping masculinities. Furthermore, the contributors emphasise how men affectively and agentically experience migration and how interaction with new spaces/places can often lead to negotiations between disempowerment and empowerment. As such, this collection will appeal to both non-academic readers who share transnational migratory aspirations and experiences and academic readers across the social sciences with interests in gender and sexuality, migration and diaspora, transnationalism and contemporary masculinities.

Mike Nelson's Movie Megacheese
by Michael J. NelsonYou might think that after ten seasons on the Peabody Award-winning TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000, Mike Nelson has seen enough bad movies for one lifetime. As the guys at Cahiers du Cinema say, au contraire! Hollywood's spigot of stupidity shows no sign of slowing, and cheesy films continue to flood our multiplexes and gunk up our home entertainment centers at an alarming rate. This dire situation calls for a specialist. A professional. An expert in wading through motion pictures so vile that they aren't released; they escape. We need Mike Nelson! Hey, settle down there, pal--you got him! In more than sixty laugh-out-loud reviews and essays featuring his unique combination of erudite wit and shameless clowning, this screenscarred veteran takes us deep into the recesses of cinematic cheese. He examines legendary showbiz families like Culkin, Baldwin, and Estevez; uncovers an ancient quatrain in which Nostradamus foretells the coming of David Hasselhoff; makes the case for the Food Network and the Three Stooges; and skewers all kinds of movies, including Lost in Space, Twister, Anaconda, The Postman, Spring Break, My Best Friend's Wedding, The Bridges of Madison County, The Blair Witch Project, and many, many more. Here is a film critic for the rest of us: the outrageous, hilarious Mike Nelson.
Mike Nichols: A Life
by Mark HarrisA magnificent biography of one of the most protean creative forces in American entertainment history, a life of dazzling highs and vertiginous plunges--some of the worst largely unknown until now--by the acclaimed author of Pictures at a Revolution and Five Came BackMike Nichols burst onto the scene as a wunderkind: while still in his twenties, he was half of a hit improv duo with Elaine May that was the talk of the country. Next he directed four consecutive hit plays, won back-to-back Tonys, ushered in a new era of Hollywood moviemaking with Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and followed it with The Graduate, which won him an Oscar and became the third-highest-grossing movie ever. At thirty-five, he lived in a three-story Central Park West penthouse, drove a Rolls-Royce, collected Arabian horses, and counted Jacqueline Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, Leonard Bernstein, and Richard Avedon as friends. <P><P>Where he arrived is even more astonishing given where he had begun: born Igor Peschkowsky to a Jewish couple in Berlin in 1931, he and his younger brother were sent to America on a ship in 1939. The young immigrant boy caught very few breaks. He was bullied and ostracized--an allergic reaction had rendered him permanently hairless--and his father died when he was just twelve, leaving his mother alone and overwhelmed. <P>The gulf between these two sets of facts explains a great deal about Nichols's transformation from lonely outsider to the center of more than one cultural universe--the acute powers of observation that first made him famous; the nourishment he drew from his creative partnerships, most enduringly with May; his unquenchable drive; his hunger for security and status; and the depressions and self-medications that brought him to terrible lows. It would take decades for him to come to grips with his demons. In an incomparable portrait that follows Nichols from Berlin to New York to Chicago to Hollywood, Mark Harris explores, with brilliantly vivid detail and insight, the life, work, struggle, and passion of an artist and man in constant motion. Among the 250 people Harris interviewed: Elaine May, Meryl Streep, Stephen Sondheim, Robert Redford, Glenn Close, Tom Hanks, Candice Bergen, Emma Thompson, Annette Bening, Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts, Lorne Michaels, and Gloria Steinem. <P>Mark Harris gives an intimate and evenhanded accounting of success and failure alike; the portrait is not always flattering, but its ultimate impact is to present the full story of one of the most richly interesting, complicated, and consequential figures the worlds of theater and motion pictures have ever seen. It is a triumph of the biographer's art. <P><P><b>A New York Times Bestseller</b>

Milanese Encounters
by Cristina MorettiIn a city driven by fashion and design, visibility and invisibility are powerful forces. Milanese Encounters examines how the acts of looking, recognizing, and being seen reflect social relations and power structures in contemporary Milan.Cristina Moretti's ethnographic study reveals how the meanings of Milan's public spaces shift as the city's various inhabitants use, appropriate, and travel through them. Moretti's extensive fieldwork covers international migrants, social justice organizations, and middle-class citizens groups in locations such as community centers, abandoned industrial areas, and central plazas and streets. Situated at the intersection of urban and visual anthropology, her work will challenge and inspire scholars in anthropology, urban studies, and other fields.Contributing to studies of urban Italy, neoliberalism, and immigration, Milanese Encounters is a welcome demonstration of ethnography's potential to analyse the connections and divisions created by complex modern cities.
