Meeting Description:

Travelling Narratives and Images in Times of Migration

Interdisciplinary seminar

October 20-­21, 2016
The Norwegian University Centre in Paris, NUCP/Maison des Sciences de l’Homme,
Paris

Migrant narratives and aesthetic practices influenced by experiences of
migration constitute a growing field in contemporary art and literature.
Current patterns of migration and issues related to the protection of refugees
and asylum seekers contribute to the strong societal impact of migrant
aesthetics and narratives, but also serve to explain the need for them as
such, as well as the need to reexamine them. More than ever, we need to
understand the experiences of exiles, migrants and refugees. The objective of
this interdisciplinary seminar is to examine textual, material and visual
expressions that represent, discuss and problematize migration.

Current trends in migration and globalisation lead to an increase in
travelling narratives, images and objects, producing aestethic practices that
both work in and through tradition. But they may also re­present and
destabilise categories such as gender, class, ethnicity, family and sexuality
and challenge exisisting understandings of multilingualism, multilingual
literature and aesthetic practices, thus inviting a reexamination of the
possible contribution of literary studies, art history and linguistics to
their analysis.

Organisers:

Camilla Skalle, University of Bergen (c​amilla.skalle at uib.no)​
Sigrun Åsebø, University of Bergen (s​igrun.asebo at uib.no)​
Anje Müller Gjesdal, Norwegian School of Economics (anje.gjesdal at nhh.no)


We welcome contributions that explore aesthetic expressions across genres and
media, including textile art, photography, installation art, literary, film
and other aesthetic narratives that represent or discuss questions related to
migration and identity.

PhD students and young researchers interested in migrant narratives and
aesthetic practices related to exile and migration are particularly welcome.

The seminar language is English.
