CFP AAA 2013:
Migrants, Pilgrims, and Refugees: Destabilizing Tropes of Transnational
'Mobility'
Much of the recent scholarship on transnationalism emphasizes the 'flow' of
newly cosmopolitan actors, blurred territorial boundaries, and imaginings of
interconnectedness through media, consumer products, and extended networks.
While this is an important contribution for understanding the limits of the
nation-state, this body of work tends to privilege the processes of
transnational 'flow' and 'mobility' over the lived experiences of the people in
the specific places they inhabit, and neglects to account for the ways in which
local infrastructures, bureaucratic systems, and other factors profoundly shape
the lives of ‘mobile’ people.
We invite papers to complete a panel that seeks to destabilize the tropes of
transnational ‘mobility’ and 'flow' by investigating every day lived
experiences of the actors involved. Papers might address topics including but
not limited to:
* Lived experiences with governmental or non-governmental agencies,
including NGOs, religious groups, educational systems, etcetera.
* Space and place and/or urbanity/rurality in the lives of ‘mobile’
peoples
* Shifts in identities, citizenships, and/or nationalisms due to
transnational processes and imaginings
* Critical engagements with or against the concepts of
transnationalism, flow and/or mobility
* Returnees’ experiences in their place of origin or diasporic
communities’ notions of ‘home’
* Perceptions of time in the lives of ‘mobile’ peoples
Please send abstracts of 250 words or less (along with name, contact
information and affiliation) to Lesley R. Turnbull lrt24@cornell.eduby April
11, 2013. Accepted panelists will need to register for AAA membership and the
2013 conference by the panel submission deadline of April 15th.
