Fourth Conference on Contemporary European Migration History

Die beiden Themen Migration und historische Erinnerung haben in den letzten Jahren zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Dies gilt sowohl mit Blick auf Politik, Bildung und Geschichte als auch auf die breitere, mediale Öffentlichkeit. Allerdings gibt es bislang nur geringe Schnittstellen beider Diskurse: einen festen und bedeutenden Ort der Erinnerung und der historischen Darstellung der Migrationsgeschichte gibt es in der bzw. in den europäischen Gesellschaften bislang nicht.

Die vierte migrationsgeschichtliche Tagung des Netzwerks Migration in Europa e.V. "Commemorating Migrants and Migrations: Towards New Interpretations of European History" will einen Beitrag zur Debatte um den historischen Ort der Migration in der europäischen Gedächtnis- und Erinnerungslandschaft liefern. Die Veranstaltung ist für eine begrenzte Anzahl von Zuhörern offen. Der Abendvortrag von Prof. Dirk Hoerder "Europe's Many Worlds and Their Global Interconnections" am Dienstag, den 16. November um 20.15 ist öffentlich.

Anmeldung für die Konferenz und weitere Information unter: Paris_2004_DHI@hotmail.com
Die Konferenzsprache ist Englisch.

Dates: November 15-16, 2004

Conference Venue: Deutsches Historisches Institut Paris, 8, rue Parc-Royal, 75003 Paris
