GEN 385 Migrations and the Family |
3 Credits |
This course addresses how human mobility across
borders and state policies of immigration control,
shape, and change intimate relations and family
formations. In other words, it asks how states make
and unmake families through their migration policies
It accordingly focuses on the institution of marriage
and processes of reproduction (including having and
caring for children), and questions who 'deserves' to
have a ‘right to family’ by examining different country-
specific cases of family reunification and family
separation. Issues to be discussed include:
governance of migrant reproduction, dynamics of
mixed-immigration-status families, challenges faced
by transnational families and their shifting care
regimes, the place of different kinds of children (left-
behind, unaccompanied and adoptee) in migration
policy-making. In tackling all these issues, the course
aims to provide an understanding of how migration
and related state responses disrupt, reinforce or
rearrange gendered norms of family-making.

which war and political violence are remembered

violence, and militarization? How have wars, genocide and
other forms of political violence been narrated
and represented? How do women remember and narrate
gendered violence in war? How are post-conflict
processes and transitional justice gendered? What is
the relationship between testimony, storytelling, and
healing? How is the relationship between
the ''personal'' and the ''public/national'' reconstructed
in popular culture, film, literature, and
(auto)biographical texts dealing with war, genocide,
and other forms of political violence? How are
wars memorialized and gendered through monuments,
museums, and other memory sites? Besides others,
case studies on Hungary, Turkey, Germany, Rwanda,
former Yugoslavia, and Argentina will be used to
elaborate the key concepts and debates
in the emerging literature on gender,
