This new reading group is dedicated to central key texts of recent debates on postmigration in the humanities, especially German studies, Literary and Culture studies, as well as Social sciences and migration studies. With an increasing number of publications on the topic with the buzzword postmigration, there is a growing call for a postmigrant turn in the Humanities. Others even urge for a separate discipline of German Postmigrant Studies with a distinct postmigrant cultural history, art, and intervention practices, as well as literary expressions of postmigrant experiences in Germany. In our weekly meetings, we will step into the developing field of Postmigrant Studies and, through reading and discussion, critically examine both the central themes and the experiences and knowledges of various postmigrant historical continuities and generations in Germany.

When: Apr 25, 2024, 16h00 to 18h00
