The Migrant and her Trafficker
By the end of the nineteenth century, terms like "white slavery", "la traite des blanches" and "Mädchenhandel" had become linguistic equivalents to describe the (coerced) transnational migration of women and their subsequent sale of sex. This book explores the historical roots of this Eurocentric conceptualization, which since its development has fed into contemporary twenty-first-century understandings of "human trafficking, especially in women and children". In unpacking these origins, the books explores how populist narratives became entangled with state and organisational practices of categorising subalterns on the move. Contributing to the historiography, "white slavery" is shown to have been not only a component of a shifting legal dogma on mobility control and international police cooperation but also a political concern of women’s rights and moral reformist movements. Contrary to the sensationalized claims of the times, "white slavery" was not a phenomenon reflecting such exaggerations but rather was part of the historical development of state mechanisms to define the voluntary and coerced migration based on race and gender-based desirability.
Colonial Ideologies, Indigeneity, Anti-Racist Discourses
Contemporary sociolinguistic theorizing is concerned with the study of social solidarity in differential contexts of power, so it must engage with protesting discourses and practices. In two volumes, Sociolinguistics of Protesting addresses the socio-discursivity of protesting from different geopolitical perspectives and illustrates how protests are socio-semiotically organized and narrated. Volume 1 critically rethinks protest as a central sociolinguistic practice rather than an exception to an imagined social order. Drawing on transdisciplinary and various case studies – from the Arab revolutions to Hong Kong’s Lennon Walls and South Africa’s student uprisings – this volume explore...
Heritage Spaces: Culture and Heritage in The City
This book explores how a museum in Bristol, England, opened up to Black and African-Caribbean communities and shows how these encounters were shaped by different understandings of heritage practices and spaces. Using exploratory and ethnographic methods, the book first examines the practices of collaboration in the museum and the responses and receptions of external participants. It then looks at alternative memory practices and spaces in the city and analyses the objective and subjective significance of Black, migrant and urban forms of memory and heritage that have been established outside official heritage institutions. It shows how rather than relying on institutions, these groups have often retreated into the urban space, creating their own heritage spaces and commemorative practices in specific neighbourhoods that are closely tied to specific locations, communities and memories.
Flucht, Raum, Forschung
Die Migrationsprozesse von weltweit über 108 Millionen Geflüchteten sind von zunehmender Bedeutung für räumliche Entwicklungen und gleichzeitig stark von räumlichen Grundlagen geprägt. Die Einführung nimmt daher das Verhältnis von Flucht und Raum als verknüpfte soziale Strukturierungsprozesse in den Blick. Autor*innen aus Wissenschaft und Praxis führen in Konzepte und Befunde raumsensibler FluchtMigrationsforschung ein. Ihre multidisziplinären Beiträge stellen Raumtypen, Rassismus als raumstrukturierenden Faktor, Räume des (Nicht-)Wohnens, die Vielfalt der Akteure der Raumproduktion sowie Grundlagen und Herausforderungen einer gesellschaftstheoretisch fundierten, angewandten und raumsensiblen FluchtMigrationsforschung vor. Zielgruppe sind Wissenschaftler*innen, Studierende und Praktiker*innen aus Stadt- und Fluchtforschung, Architektur, Planung, Sozial-, Kultur- und Gesundheitswissenschaften sowie Sozialer Arbeit und Verwaltung.
