The paper examines the notion of integration through formal education by focusing on immigrant families in Germany. The article focuses on the predominant discourse that persists in reiterating the binary code of the formal education system, which encompasses educational success or failure as a synonym for the migration policy code of integration or disintegration. This equation is made even stronger by a meritocratic philosophy that doesn't consider the othering processes and ignores all the restrictions that migrant youth face in education, the labour market, and the market for vocational training. The ambiguity between the actual possibilities and the attainable goals, embodied in the predominant imperative of “social mobility through education”, creates resistance within the group of immigrant parents and youth. The article argues that under these conditions, the family system may provide alternative ways of recognition for young people, which can be taken as a counter-concept with its own values that reject media-mediated narratives of integration and their symbolic representatives. By utilizing empirical data, the article provides insight into the past and present experiences of family members and the factors that contribute to the resistance of immigrant families.

This paper examines the commercial migration and networking practices of German merchants from north German port towns and the textile regions of the hinterland. The focus will be on those merchants who settled in London. I argue that they contributed to turning London into the hub of global trade through their geographical networking strategies. The second part the paper analyses legal and social integration into the local commercial elite of London. I show that through membership of business and cultural institutions, intermarriages and godparenthood they created a European and cosmopolitan business elite that generated a framework of a common business culture, thus paving the way for the globalization of trade.

This paper compares common narrative and writing strategies in Marica Bodrožić's German novel Sterne erben, Sterne färben. Meine Ankunft in Wörtern von (2007) and Gazment Kaplani's greek novel με λένε Ευρώπη (2010) (They Call Me Europe). My thesis is that the perception of the narrative theme of modern migration creates common narrative and writing strategies leading to a ›migratory memory of European literature‹. On the level of genre the paper focuses properly on the autobiographical consistency of the texts, while on the level of the content on the significance of modern migration, the reminiscences of Communism in former Serbia and Albania and finally the Balkan and Balkanism as literary construction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While the migration literature has since long dealt with the question of alterity and worked on sharpening of contours of the ›Self‹ and the ›Other‹, the contemporary authors with the so called migration background tend to focus on the overlapping rather than segregating the categories of alterity. Irena Brežná's multidimensional work looks at ›constructions‹ such ›nation as Space‹ and the spatial category of ›Heimat‹ in the specific German context. This paper concentrates on Irena Brežná's attempts to overcome the alleged segregation of ideological constructs like ›Heimat‹ and the ›Foreign‹ and how she takes a step forward in the trans-integrational direction. The paper argues with the help of her novel The thankless Foreigner that her conscious polemical approach towards concepts such ›land of origin‹ and ›land of arrival‹ no longer serve any purpose as far as the creative expression in multiple languages is concerned.

For several years, South Africa has been a world leader in deporting people en masse. This paper analyses the contradictions that exist between South Africa's progressive asylum and refugee laws and its very rigid practice of mass deportation. These contradictions are instrumentalised by the Department of Home Affairs as part of a policy to control and manipulate migration, often executed by the police in a violent and arbitrary manner; the authorities primarily target people from Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The article argues that the current state of affairs can only be fully understood within historical context. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind that rigid controls of immigration and the practice of deportation were established during the colonial period and institutionalised during apartheid.

The ,Auslandsdeutsche', emigrants from Germany living abroad, played an important role in Nazi ideology and propaganda. They were seen as outposts of the German nation to be mobilised for the political purposes of the Third Reich. In this context, research into emigration took on special importance in order to identify and localise individuals with German origins all over the world. Researchers following a different, non-political agenda were marginalised and suppressed. The controversy analysed in this paper between the Bonn-based scholar Joseph Scheben and the „Deutsches Ausland-Institut" (DAI) in the early 1940s on the methodology of research into emigration paradigmatically demonstrates this development. Being interested in emigration as such, Scheben belonged to a somewhat older research tradition based on international cooperation. The DAI, on the other hand, argued from the viewpoint of Nazi racial science and political rationale in line with the Foreign Office in Berlin. Research into emigration in National Socialism was to be conducted for political purposes and therefore kept secret. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a consequence of the emigration caused by Nazi persecution, in the 1930s and 1940s a number of cafés were established in New York’s Central Park, which in different ways referred back to the Vienna of the preceding decades. This contribution discuss two forms of expression for the ‘friendly’ or ‘cosy’ sociability (Ur-Wiener Gemütlichkeit) linked with this phenomenon: on the one hand, the Viennese coffeehouses as spaces for the staging of so-called Ur-Wiener Gemütlichkeit, and on the other hand, the shows and performances put on in these cafés. These shows drew on and dealt with images or imaginings of ‘Old Vienna’, including figures of discourse (such as the suburb of Grinzing or favoured locations for summer holidays outside Vienna) and musical shows or plays that had achieved cult status (e.g. Im weißen Rößl, Die Klabriaspartie). The author considers how the refugee community was constructed in this way and looks at which images und identifications were selected for this purpose. At the same time, the article indicates which functions the networks among the refugee community could fulfil in mediating (Jewish and non-Jewish) conceptions and perceptions of Ur-Wiener Gemütlichkeit.

In this article, the authors present results of research on labor relations in the tourism sector on the Greek island of Crete and in the German capital Berlin. In both places, EU mobility regimes and labor migration intertwine within a constellation of crisis, and specific practices and strategies of migration and migrant labor are observable. Building on the theoretical examination of differential inclusion, perspectives on tourism and approaches to citizenship, the authors state a “Europeanization from below”. This develops past elitist community-building processes or invoking, form-giving structures and policies. It occurs as a self-empowering practice, in which, however, new forms of exploitation in the course of a (self-) precarization are also recognizable. These lead to an increasing blurring of the boundaries between the categories of mobility/stay and work/tourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on Otto Mänchen-Helfen, who has hardly been considered in the history of ethnology or cultural anthropology so far, as he was mainly regarded as a sinologist or as an art historian with a fous on Asia. In presenting his biography, three points are emphasized. It is shown that Mänchen-Helfen was definitely a representative of ethnology, who was, however, hindered in his further career by the Nazi regime. He was also active in the social democratic movement, and was one of the few in this circle who opposed colonialism and the cultural mission argument. The second emphasis in the article is to contrast his stance with other voices from the socialist and social democratic movement, among them ethnologists. The third emphasis is on the presentation of the emigration of the Mänchen family, who were forced to leave first Germany and then Austria due to Mänchen-Helfen’s political commitment and the Jewish family background of his wife Anna Mänchen, who was furthermore a psychoanalyst and a student of Anna Freud.

The article focuses on religious diversity in Venetian-Ottoman contact space and denominational interaction between Orthodox Christians and Jews in early modern Southeastern Europe. It mentions new migration movements of global proportions, this is also due to one thing reinvigoration of religious identities and thought patterns, their claim to be binding a potential and at times acute threat to the secular paradigm of tolerance. It also mentions measures towards Venice and the Ottoman Empire and stretched back far into the Middle Ages.

The article focuses on experiencing a situation in which science declares migration to be a basic condition of modern societies and at the same time everyday racism, populism and also the political establishment often exploit the phenomenon as a state of emergency. Topics include considered that the debate about so-called intercultural or migration literature also moves in the mode of this indecisiveness.

The article talks about using the language positive sound, ethics or philosophy; and morality. It mentions about the migration, climate protection, politically correct use of language or lifestyles ("shaming") and the concept of hypermorality. It also mentions that the Covid-19 pandemic policy took moralizing traits.

Will COVID-19 "kill populism" – by exposing its incapacity to govern, its inadequate rhetoric, its hostility towards scientific expertise, and its political short-termism? In order to address this question in the European context it is necessary to account for two broader contextual factors. Firstly, that Europe's recent crises – the European debt crisis of 2010 and the migration crisis of 2015 – overlap with the current crisis, both politically and economically. Secondly, that in Europe, populism in one country cannot be viewed as independent from populism in another. The article sets out to empirically map how (and why) populism has fared quite differently in different European countries and comes to a preliminary response to the "will it kill populism"- question: no, it will not.

Current studies of deportation have, so far, mostly been developed independently from research on return and repatriation in Africa. This article links these literatures in order to analyse various practices of removal within the African continent as part of one complex, transnational repatriation regime. Using the International Organization for Migration's (IOM) Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration Program in Morocco and Tunisia as an example, the article shows how state-enforced deportations and non-state incentive-based "voluntary return" programs work together in order to persuade "undesirable" sub- Saharan migrants, still far away from the European external border, to return to their countries of origin. It is argued that the interplay of the various return instruments does not result in the actual repatriation of all migrants in transit, but that it does put them in a state of permanent returnability, which - in analogy to state-produced deportability - is intended to encourage them to return "voluntarily". At the same time, the article demonstrates that even under these complex conditions of return in transit, there remain different ways for migrants to escape repatriation, to appropriate the various instruments, or to actively and collectively resist them.

During recent years, critical cultural commentaries about globalization have repeatedly suggested that although the global transfer of goods has intensified and is nowadays almost unlimited, migrants are far from being able to cross borders without facing problems. Although this issue cannot be further explored here, cultural exchange as a by-product of migration and the trade of goods is not a new phenomenon but has been taking place for millennia. Fairy tales belong and have belonged to the literary genres that have been transcontinental in this way. In the context of the transitions between European and African cultures, this article outlines historical and current communication processes, using the example of anthologies and narrative situations in order to examine the tradition of German and African fairy tales and their impact on cultural transfer. A concrete example of such transitions is the Senegalese storyteller Ibrahima Ndiaye, who has been living in Saarland for 25 years and who is interested in the role of fairy tales, stories and children's books to help people in Europe understand African culture and its customs and rites.

Russian General Aleksej von Lampe and his diary, which reflects his experience of emigration, are at the center of this article. Lampe wrote his diary for various reasons. Firstly, according to his own understanding, it was the duty of every contemporary eye-witness to record their experiences and the events in the world around them. Secondly, Lampe planned a future publication on the White Movement during the Russian Civil War and in the emigration based on the material in his diary. Thirdly, the diary also had an unspoken purpose for Lampe, namely the processing and the healing of the disruption in his life caused by his emigration. This case study focuses on Lampe's self-depiction as an émigré and a family father. The diary played a central role in his life, as it connected and intertwined the Russian past with the present in Germany. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the problem of homogeneity in immigration in the welfare state of Germany. Topics discussed include the migration crisis in Europe in 2015, which resulted in the generation of neoliberal policies in the welfare state of Germany; the relationship between social cohesion, welfare state, and immigration in Germany; and cultural fragmentation, neoliberal economy, and multiculturalism of coexistence in Germany.

From the end of the 1980s, the Crimean Tatars returned from exile in Central Asia, where they had been sent to by Yosif Stalin in 1944, to Crimea. According to the Ukrainian census in 2001 there were 248,200 Crimean Tatars in the country, most of them in Crimea. An unknown number remained in Central Asia, mainly in Uzbekistan. Especially in the early years of their return, the Crimean Tatars in their historical homeland faced problems such as a lack of land for housing and other forms of construction, difficulties acquiring Ukrainian citizenship, and unemployment. Other permanent difficulties were the challenge of preserving the Crimean Tatar language, discrimination, and the general political climate on the peninsula, where Russians as the majority ethnic group were not well-disposed towards them. This article depicts the roles of the Crimean Tatars‘ Qurultay (Congress) and the Mejlis (the highest executive-representative body in the period between sessions of the Qurultay). It argues that the Crimean Tatar members of Crimea’s regional Parliament remained without significant influence. Moreover, since the Russian occupation of Crimea in March 2014 the Crimean Tatars are suspected of "disloyalty" and are harassed by the Russian occupying authorities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
