This workshop will interrogate return migration (back to source societies) and onward migration (to a third destination).<\/p>\n<p>Return migration is often seen as an ideal in policy discussion regarding refugees, asylum seekers and migrants alike \u2013 the return of refugees after the end of conflict, the reversal of the \u2018brain-drain\u2019 through the return of skilled professionals to developing countries, or the expulsion of unsuccessful asylum seekers and irregular migrants. Return migration that meets the basic criteria of not resulting in re-emigration may be considered \u2018sustainable\u2019 and therefore desirable from the perspective of host and home governments alike. From the perspective of returnees, however, return migration may itself imply \u2018failure\u2019. Moreover, resettlement and reintegration into the home society may be rife with difficulties especially when such societies have been transformed in the interim through war, political upheaval or economic crisis.<\/p>\n<p>More than ten years on after the UNHCR\u2019s decade of repatriation we have not witnessed a mass return of refugees. In fact, according to the UNHCR, there remain more than 38 protracted refugee situations affecting over 6.2 million people. Many will continue live permanently in their country of asylum, but others may resettle or be resettled in a third country. Such onward migration to a third destination (about which there is no comprehensive body of literature) similarly throws up multiple opportunities and obstacles in terms of legal documentation, access to resources, socio-economic wellbeing, socio-political integration, and the maintenance and dissolution of family life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call for Papers<\/strong><br \/>\nWe welcome abstracts of up to 250 words for papers from all relevant social science disciplines and with any geographical focus on the following suggested themes: In\/voluntary repatriation; Return of repatriates; Resettlement policies; Un\/official dispersal; Beyond \u2018the myth of return\u2019; Migrant identities.

Multicultural societies raise crucial challenges for traditional conceptions of nations and citizenship. Ethnic diversity can mean that significant numbers of people are excluded from national projects, while the &#8216;melting pot&#8217; metaphor belies the complexities of societies in which minority communities seek to protect their heritages and resist incorporation into the nation or state.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, conceptions of citizenship appear to be undergoing transformation. Civic engagement and participation is frequently viewed as being more effective in achieving social change than traditional forms of political representation. Levels of both civic and political participation vary significantly across ethnic communities, while political institutions are required to adjust to accommodate marginalised communities more effectively into democratic processes.<\/p>\n<p>At the international level, the sovereignty of the nation state has been increasingly challenged in the name of protecting or asserting universal human rights. Regimes, deemed oppressive by powerful external actors, have been subjected to sanctions or military intervention. The question of national citizenship, with its attendant rights and obligations, is being reframed in the light of new expectations. The implications of this process for the future of states and their citizens remain unclear, but they appear to encourage the erosion of national sovereignty in favour of participation at both sub-national and international levels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Confirmed speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hans van Amersfoort, Emeritus Professor, Cultural Geography and<br \/>\nPopulation Geography, Universiteit van Amsterdam, The Netherlands<\/p>\n<p>Michael Byram, Professor of Education, Durham University<\/p>\n<p>Nick Emler, Professor of Social Psychology, University of Surrey<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Friedman, Professor of Social Anthropology, Lund University, Sweden<\/p>\n<p>Montserrat Guibernau, Professor of Politics, University of London<\/p>\n<p>Lord Bhikhu Parekh, Labour Member of the House of Lords and Professor<br \/>\nof Political Philosophy, University of Westminster<\/p>\n<p>Oren Yiftachel, Associate Professor of Political Geography, Ben Gurion<br \/>\nUniversity of the Negev, Israel<\/p>\n<p>As in previous CRONEM conferences, there will be ample opportunities for papers to be presented in parallel panel sessions and for poster presentations.

That this needs doing is due, in part, to the heterogeneousness of Turkey\u2019s migrants and to the juxtaposed diversity of languages, religious, and ethnic groups which make their story such a multifaceted one.<br \/>\nOne conference theme could be devoted to analysing what the Balkan Turks recall of the painful events which were to mark the decline and end of the Ottoman Empire, and force them to go back to Thrace or Anatolia. Another theme could examine the exchange of populations which took place, in 1923, between Greece and Turkey.<br \/>\nAbove all, however, this conference will be focused on migrant Turks, and on the minorities excluded from the Treaty of Lausanne, whatever their ethnic or religious origins: Kurds, Turks, Balkan Turks; Sunni or Alevi Muslims, or Assyro-Chaldean Christians.<br \/>\nIn terms of outstanding events, all this means studying the rebellion of Sheikh Said in 1925, and the revolts of the Kurds at Ko\u00e7kiri in 1920, Ararat in 1930 and, more particularly, those of Dersim in 1937 and 1938, with their ensuing massacres. More recently, there is the war being waged in south-east Anatolia since 1985: this has led to more than 40,000 deaths, and set on the Europe-bound road to exile several hundred thousand Kurds, all fleeing war and repression.<br \/>\nIn the 80s, forced Bulgarization led to the arrival, in Thrace for the most part, of some 300,000 Bulgarian Turks\u00a0; half of them settled down, while the other half returned to Bulgaria\u00a0 once the situation there had improved.<br \/>\nThen, too, the invasion of Cyprus, and a succession of military coups in Turkey bear witness to the difficult destinies which would lead so many into exile.<br \/>\nWhat is needed now, for this pluridisciplinarian conference, bringing together historians, sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, geographers and sociolinguists, is to evaluate the different ways in which these dramatic changes affected the refugee populations, positively or negatively. How were these events recounted and transmitted from generation to generation?\u00a0 Has there been a much-belated return to the place of origin, after many years of being settled down in Europe?\u00a0 Are commemorations held in the receiving country to celebrate anniversaries such as those of some political leader, or of a particular event?\u00a0 Do refugee associations contribute to this work of remembering? Can ethnic and\/or religious identities survive in the place of exile? Does a language differing from that of the original region or Nation-State,\u00a0 as is the case for Kurdish, which is forbidden in Turkey, play its part in this work of remembering? Does it serve as the focal bond to which such refugees cling? These are just a few of the possible questions to be addressed during this conference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A non-exhaustive list of some possible themes is given below:<\/strong><br \/>\n* The Balkan Turks\u2019 exile at the end of the Ottoman Empire<br \/>\n* The Greek and Cretan Turks exchanged under the Treaty of Lausanne<br \/>\n* The Kurds whose revolts led to their being victims of Ataturk\u2019s repression<br \/>\n* Political refugee victims of military coups since 1960<br \/>\n*The south-east Anatolian Kurd refugees since 1985<br \/>\n*Memory and Language in exile<br \/>\n*Memory and Commemoration in exile<\/p>\n<p><strong>Proposals for Conference papers: <\/strong><br \/>\nThese proposals should not exceed 300 words, should give 4 or 5 keywords and must be sent, before 30th March 2008, to the following address: <a href=\"mailto:francoise.rollan@msha.fr\">francoise.rollan@msha.fr<\/a><br \/>\nOnce accepted by the Scientific Committee, the definitive texts must be sent, to the same address, by no later than 15th September 2008: no text will be considered after that deadline.<br \/>\nPapers can be in either French or English.<br \/>\nFor technical reasons (no simultaneous translation facilities available), presentations should be in English: 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of discussion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Publication: <\/strong>After evaluation, the Conference papers will be published in a collective book at a later date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organizing Committee: <\/strong><br \/>\nFran\u00e7oise Rollan and Beno\u00eet Sourou: Tel. +33 556 84 68 27<br \/>\nVal\u00e9rie Alfaurt: Tel. + 33 556 84 68 01<br \/>\nMarie-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Durrens: Tel. + 33 556 84 69 13<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact address: <\/strong><a href=\"mailto:francoise.rollan@msha.fr\">francoise.rollan@msha.fr<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Scientific Committee:<\/strong><br \/>\nHamit Bozarslan, Research Director, EHESS, Paris, France<br \/>\nMichel Bruneau, Emeritus Research Director, CNRS, Bordeaux, France<br \/>\nAltan G\u00f6kalp, Research Director, CNRS, Paris, France<br \/>\nUral Man\u00e7o, Senior Researcher, CSS, St Louis University Colleges, Brussels, Belgium<br \/>\nSt\u00e9phane De Tapia, Research Director, CNRS, Strasbourg, France<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/org.uib.no\/imer\/img\/border_gray.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"1\" \/><\/h3>\n<h5><a id=\"11\" name=\"11\"><\/a>(BULGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES):CFP:<\/h5>\n<h3>&#8220;Migration in and from southeastern Europe&#8221;<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"51\"><strong>Time:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" width=\"241\"><strong>2\u20133 June, 2008<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"right\"><strong>Place:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\"><strong>Sofia, Bulgaria. <\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Call for proposals:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Deadline for proposals (1 page): February 29th 2008<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Southeastern Europe is one of the most remarkable regions in the world<br \/>\nfor complexity and extent of refugees and migration movements.

Det er behov for mer forskning om kulturarv i et samfunn i rask endring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tema for verkstedet:<\/strong><br \/>\nInternasjonal migrasjon og kulturell globalisering, s\u00e6rlig innvandringen fra ikke-vestlige samfunn de siste ti\u00e5rene, utfordrer mange av forestillingene om norsk kulturarv, norske tradisjoner og hva det vil si \u00e5 v\u00e6re norsk. Det norske samfunn og norsk kultur kan i dag vanskelig forst\u00e5s uten \u00e5 vise til impulser og prosesser som er virksomme i en pluralistisk kultursituasjon. Gjennom hele historien har forst\u00e5elsen av \u201cdet norske\u201d endret seg i takt med migrasjon, kulturutveksling og den allmenne samfunnsutvikling. Den kanskje st\u00f8rste utfordringen ligger i \u00e5 finne relevante helhetsforst\u00e5elser av kulturelt mangfold innen geografiske rammer som lokalsamfunn, by, region og nasjon.<\/p>\n<p>Sammenlignende kulturforsking har hatt en tendens til \u00e5 fokusere p\u00e5 forskjeller, mens kultur som en levende, kontinuerlig utviklingsprosess stimulert av stadig tverrkulturell kontakt og impulser utenfra, er blitt underkommunisert. Det tverrfaglige forskningsprogrammet Culcom ved Universitetet i Oslo tar sikte p\u00e5 \u00e5 forbedre og utdype den akademiske og offentlige forst\u00e5elsen av den nye kulturelle virkeligheten i det norske samfunn. Etter \u00e5 ha gjennomg\u00e5tt en nasjonsbygging basert p\u00e5 kulturell likhet i det 19. og mesteparten av det 20. \u00e5rhundre, er Norge n\u00e5 \u2013 i likhet med de fleste land \u2013 konfrontert med mangfoldets utfordringer.<\/p>\n<p>Culcom ser p\u00e5 denne nye kompleksiteten fra flere synsvinkler. I stedet for \u00e5 betrakte hver gruppe som en isolert enhet, utforskes det dynamiske forholdet mellom og innen gruppene, og selve gruppebegrepet blir problematisert. Sammenligninger blir utf\u00f8rt b\u00e5de i og utenfor Norge, og kulturelle identiteter studeres i forhold til andre identiteter som kj\u00f8nn og klasse. Etnisk norske blir ogs\u00e5 studert \u2013 majoriteter, og ikke bare minoriteter, har kulturell identitet.<\/p>\n<p>Med utgangspunkt i prosjektleder Thomas Hylland-Eriksens presentasjon av Culcom og et etterf\u00f8lgende innlegg ved dr.art i arkeologi Terje \u00d8stig\u00e5rd (UiB), er intensjonen med dette verkstedet bidra til refleksjon over aktuelle utfordringer i ABM-sektoren og kulturminnevernet i Norge. Det er ogs\u00e5 en hensikt\u00a0 \u00e5 gj\u00f8re forsknings- og kunnskapsbehov som er knyttet til disse sektorene mer tydlig.
