This course offers a comprehensive examination of migration, diaspora, and identity, emphasizing post-migration identity changes in diverse European diaspora cultures. The course, intended for MA-level students, presents fundamental theoretical frameworks crucial for comprehending the impact of migration on individual and social identities. We will analyze how diasporic communities manage intricate relationships with their host societies, investigate cultural preservation challenges, and address assimilation pressures from interdisciplinary viewpoints.
This course focuses on various prominent diaspora communities in Europe, including Turkish, Kurdish, African, South Asian, and Eastern European populations. Every community provides unique perspectives on the evolution of identity in relation to migration, reconciling cultural legacy with adaptation to European societal standards. We will examine the evolution of identity throughout generations and situations, particularly as groups face outward classifications and cultivate internal self-definitions, illustrating the complexities of hybrid identity, transnationalism, and cultural memory.
This weekly course, delivered in English, will incorporate readings from several theoretical frameworks to promote a comprehensive grasp of the subjects. Students are required to participate actively in conversations, and the course material may be modified based on student feedback and recommendations, promoting a collaborative learning atmosphere. Upon completion of the course, students will possess a comprehensive analytical understanding of identity development in diasporic societies, underpinned by theoretical frameworks and case study analyses.
