TRANSIT  MIGRATION
invites to

transnational europe I
migration across southern l eastern borders

International Symposium
University of Rethymno (Island of Crete)

21. - 24. 10. 2004
transnational europe I focuses on the formation of a new Europe
ofborders
and migrations. This focus implies a shift in perspective: What
isusually
considered the periphery of the European Union - its southern andeastern
fringes - has become a center of transnational mobility, a hot spotfor
the
movements of migration and Europes attempts to control it. The former
regions of recruited emigration to the North and West have now
becomezones
of global immigration and transit. On the geopolitical map of western
hegemony, Europe is becoming bigger: by enlarging and empowering it's
border regime in the South and the East. On the map of migrationtactics
and imagination, however, Europe is down-sized and de-centered
bybecoming
a province of global pathways expressing and demanding freedom.

transnational europe I invites researchers, activists, and artists to
explore and discuss the formation and the non-/representation of thisnew
Europe as it emerges from the dynamic interplay of borders andmigration
movements. What does - and could - Europe look like from
suchperspective?
