Im Kontext partizipativer Filmprojekte für fluchterfahrene Jugendliche wird Sichtbarkeit oft mit Ermächtigung gleichgesetzt. Gerhard Schönhofer hinterfragt diese Logik, indem er Prozesse des Sichtbarmachens, wie sie in Workshop-Formaten geschehen, ethnografisch beschreibt. Durch die Nähe zum Forschungsfeld wird somit nicht nur ein präzises Bild des Selbstverständnisses, sondern auch der Anspruchshaltungen der Projektleitenden gezeichnet, die bisweilen im Spannungsfeld zu den Motivationen der teilnehmenden Jugendlichen stehen.

How to study a media object on the web that is at the same time a documentary, a reportage, and a game which combines both fiction and non-fiction elements? Nicole Braida digs into the discursive and material structures and infrastructures of serious games, text-adventures, newsgames, interactive maps and data visualizations, in which refugees and migrants become the subject of humanitarian discourse. Although the goal is to arouse empathy towards migrants, these »interactive practices« distinguish who is vulnerable and who is not. It supports the idea of a »migratory crisis«, which, the author argues, is actually the symptom of a deeper crisis of the humanitarian system itself.

From April to November 1975, the US military processed over 112,000 Vietnamese refugees on the unincorporated territory of Guam; from 1977 to 1979, the State of Israel granted asylum and citizenship to 366 non-Jewish Vietnamese refugees. Evyn Lê Espiritu Gandhi analyzes these two cases to theorize what she calls the refugee settler condition: the fraught positionality of refugee subjects whose resettlement in a settler colonial state is predicated on the unjust dispossession of an Indigenous population. This groundbreaking book explores two forms of critical geography: first, archipelagos of empire, examining how the Vietnam War is linked to the US military buildup in Guam and unwavering support of Israel, and second, corresponding archipelagos of trans-Indigenous resistance, tracing how Chamorro decolonization efforts and Palestinian liberation struggles are connected through the Vietnamese refugee figure. Considering distinct yet overlapping modalities of refugee and Indigenous displacement, Gandhi offers tools for imagining emergent forms of decolonial solidarity between refugee settlers and Indigenous peoples.

Die »Flüchtlingskrise« und ihre »Willkommenskultur« 2015 haben auch in Sachsen für viel Improvisation und Spontanität gesorgt. Migration und Integration als Lernfelder für Gesellschaft und Politik haben dabei eine Fülle an Engagementformen hervorgebracht. Aber was geschieht langfristig mit ihnen? Wo sind die Grenzen und Möglichkeitsräume von Engagement? Stefanie Adamitz beleuchtet in ihrer ethnografischen Studie zum Engagement in Leipzig den dynamischen Wandel in Zivilgesellschaft und Asylpolitik als Wechselwirkung. Sie hinterfragt gängige Beschreibungen politischer Handlungen und Felder und wirft einen detaillierten Blick auf die Beziehungen von Zivilgesellschaft und Staat.

Migration is not a state of emergency, but a basic existential experience of humanity. It shapes contemporary societies by challenging established orders, creating transnational spaces beyond national hegemonies, creating new economies, influencing urban and communal ways of life, making inequality and precariousness visible locally and globally. Migration research as a social science does not narrow the focus to 'the migrants', but investigates the conditions for living together and shaping life between ethnicization and pluralization, discrimination and empowerment, division and participation. The Yearbook Migration and Society repeatedly turns the prism of narrative anew. The 2020/2021 edition focuses on the topic "Beyond Borders". »Durch die Berücksichtigung transnationaler Perspektiven werden Räume aufgezeigt, die nationale Hegemonien überschreiten und somit auch den Raum für Handlungsmöglichkeiten erweitern.« merz, 64/5 (2020)
