Dear all,
please find enclosed the information on MigMap - a
dynamic map of
current
migration 'management'seen from the prespective of the
research team
and
artists that addressed critically current
transformation in NIS and SEE
regions.
MigMap is part of a larger research I have worked on
during the last 2
years -
TRANSIT MIGRATION. TRANSIT MIGRATION is a
transdisciplinary research,
film,
sound and exhibition project that builds on the
collaborative efforts
of
academics, film makers, media activists and artists.
It examines the
ways in
which transnational migration movements are
transforming Europe and
asks how,
and whether, it is possible to represent this reality
in academic
discourse, in
the media and in art.
The project was truly innovative and amazing. The
results are
represented in the
exibition in Cologne running until mid January and are
worth seeing -
the
migratory history of Germany is rewritten, its history
reconfigured and
Germany
is represented as contituted by transnational
migratory movements and
struggles.
Hope you enjoy it, Rutvica

MigMap Governing Migration
A Virtual Cartography of European Migration Policies
MigMap conveys a picture of how and where the
production of knowledge
is currently taking place in the area of migration
and of who is
participating in and has access to it. MigMap
investigates precisely
how the new forms of supranational governance that can
be observed in
the European migration regime function.
It looks, for example, at how European standards in
politics and civil
society
are implemented, and at the authorities, persons and
institutions
taking part
in this process.
It examines how the various key players in the public
and
private spheres are interrelated and funded, as well
as at the ways
in which these spheres overlap or differ in terms of
focus, location
or personnel.
Finally, it analyses how responsibilities are
allocated and legitimised
and
explores the theories, data and discourses upon which
current paradigms
in
migration are based.
The four maps Key Players, Discourses,
Europeanisation and
Places + Practices provide access to a broad range
of information
on players, debates, processes and events that
together comprise
Europes present day migration policies.
MigMap was produced in collaboration with TRANSIT
MIGRATION and in the
framework
of "Projekt Migration".
The Exhibition "Projekt Migration" is still open
untill January 15,
2006
