International Organizations and Refugees: Mechanisms of in- and exclusion
Panel Proposed by: Sara Cosemans, KU Leuven, Belgium
Event: 6th European Congress on World and Global History (ENIUGH)
Theme: “Minorities, Cultures of Integration and Patterns of Exclusion”
Date and Venue: June 25-28, 2020, Turku, Finland
The emergence of the refugee as a legal category is intrinsically linked with the history of international organizations of the twentieth century. Dividing mobile populations in groups deserving of protection and other ‘migrants’ inevitably drew borders between them, however blurry and debated. Legal innovations did not prevent that the control of these boundaries often escaped the international organizations responsible for refugees. This panel raises the following questions:
What is the role of international organizations in defining ‘refugeehood’? Which mechanisms on the international level contribute to in-/exclusion of people in the refugee category? What does it mean to be a refugee, or to be denied that status, based on international legal instruments?
This panel, proposed to the 6th European Congress on World and Global History (ENIUGH) in Turku, Finland, invites (inter- or transnational, legal, institutional) historians to consider these questions throughout the ‘long 20th century’ until the present.
Topics may include, but are not limited to:
- a critical evaluation of the emergence of a ‘refugee regime’, based on legal interpretations of rights (of protection, of mobility, …);
- the interplay between the inclusion of certain groups and the exclusion of other mobile people;
- the centrality of international mobility as an excluding factor in determining the ‘right to protection’;
- mechanisms of and reasons behind in- and exclusion as related to particular (refugee) groups throughout the 20th century;
- dynamics between international organizations on the one hand, and national refugee policy on the other in determining refugee status, granting of asylum, and permanent resettlement of refugees;
- effects of the legal framework concerning refugees on mobile populations, and the uneven distribution of rights inherent to that framework;
- a widening of the scope of ‘international organizations’ beyond the western, Eurocentric conception and varying perceptions of integration and exclusion of refugees worldwide;
- refugees’ and other mobile populations’ perceptions of in- and exclusion in and by international organizations;
- interaction between different actors (state, civil society, international organizations) with regard to the refugee question;
- the role of power imbalances on different levels: internationally, within countries, between groups and individuals, …;
- spacialized approaches towards the in/exclusion of refugees;
- and more.
As historians’ interest in refugee history increases, the panel “International Organizations and Refugees: Mechanisms of in- and exclusion” intends to bring together researchers interested in the history of in- and exclusion that accompanies the emergence and growth of the refugee regime. Papers preferably draw from primary source material that sheds new light on the architecture of the international refugee regime and the connections between various actors involved in it – both actors acting from a ‘majority’ or powerful position, as those excluded from power and rights.
If you are interested in partaking in this panel, please send an abstract (100-300 words, in English) and a short academic bio (including name, degree, and current affiliation) by July 10, 2019 to sara.cosemans@kuleuven.be. Acceptance to the panel will be announced before the end of the call for panels on July 15, 2019. Final acceptance depends on the deliberations of the ENIUGH steering committee.

We are pleased to announce the CFP for the special session that will take place at the 15th International Conference held by European Association for Urban History. The conference is organized around the general theme of “Cities in Motion” and will be held in University of Antwerp, from 2nd to 5th September 2020.
We invite paper proposals for our Special Session (S-CUL-3) titled “Ottoman Cultural Mobilities: 19th Century Modes of Travel, Collecting and Display”.
Stressing the contextual and conceptual aspects, this session aims to discuss the Ottoman participation and response to the international 19th century culture of travel, collecting and display. It particularly focuses on the mobility and circulation of people and objects around Ottoman and connected contexts; Ottoman encounters and exchanges en route; the journeys of intellectuals, collections and archives in the late Ottoman Empire.
From the 18th century onwards, the Ottoman state instigated major transformations after overtly facing the fact that the imperial glory of the past could not be restored solely with military reformations. Throughout the 19th century, technological developments and intellectuals’ awareness of social transformations incited unprecedented cultural mobilities. The vibrant modes of Tanzimat reforms ushered in an impetus to understand Europe systematically on both governmental and public levels. Forged by the ever-changing transportation infrastructures, vital urban milieu and novel understanding of history, Ottoman intelligentsia embarked on solo journeys, pored over European cities, published accounts, created, displayed and circulated personal archives and collections. Concurrently, vocal press culture became an essential engine of knowledge production and discussion on grand concepts such as progress and heritage, tradition and civilization. All these practices were pivotal for the formation of spaces that frame and exhibit the past effective in the emergence of the modern museum and the conception of the fields like urban planning, architecture and archeology.
Stressing the contextual and conceptual aspects of these activities and formations, this session welcomes researches on Ottoman participation and responses to the international 19th century culture of travel, collecting and display. It particularly focuses on the mobility and circulation of people and objects around Ottoman and connected contexts; Ottoman encounters and exchanges en route; the journeys of intellectuals, collections and archives in the late Ottoman Empire. In addition to the bureaucratic attempts and initiatives of the capital, personal imageries, reception and appropriation of various localities, stories of archeological and architectural pieces as well as those of non-professionals, interactions between locals, foreigners, dilettanti and experts are some of the tracks that might be explored.
In the scholarship there is a clear subordination of 19th century Ottoman cultural mobilities to the bureaucratic transformations and diplomatic concerns. The aim here is not to disregard such interconnectedness and the dependence of cultural policies to political missions but pay attention also to the movements of artefacts and people. Rejecting essentializing oppositional constructions of the East and West but also chauvinistic counter arguments that lose sight of the obvious asymmetrical relations, failures and constraints, the purpose is to discuss ways for analyzing 19th century Ottoman transformations via a transnational paradigm.
Proposals can only be submitted online via the EAUH2020 website till 4 October 2019:
https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/conferences/eauh2020/
Acceptance of proposals will be communicated to the lead proposers on 1 December 2019.
