    (3) SYLLABUS

     

    The course examines different forms of migration, transnational and economic migration, brain migration, gender migration, and compares them to other categories of movement and attitude such as refugee and diaspora. Different approaches to the study of migration will be studied (economic and historical approach network study, global south and migration). Different forms of diaspora are compared, such as historical and contemporary diasporas, diaspora as a double consciousness, the concept of diaspora, and LGBTI communities and online diasporas. Finally, the course will highlight different policies of integration, collective organization and artistic expression of immigrants or diasporas (eg literature of immigration, diasporic cinema, etc.). The ethnographic examples will concern migrants from/to the regions of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe as well as the Near East.

     

    The aim of the course is to familiarize the students with the different categories of immigration as well as with the different immigrant communities and diasporas of Northern and South-Eastern Europe & the Near East. The examples of cross-cultural encounters, displacements and the management of the diasporic condition in the wider region of North Africa, SE Europe and the Near East constitute the field of observation of ethnographic and other factual data that allow students to deepen their knowledge in basic anthropological concepts and analytical categories taught in previous years about space and time, region, ethnicity, gender identity and types of community from modernity to the digital age

    Course Outlines

    The course examines the complex relationship of ‘politics’ and ‘culture’ in the film production of the former Yugoslavia. For decades, cinema as cultural text has been connected to the national narratives. The birth of Yugoslavia after World War II, which stopped the inception of national cinemas, laid the foundations of “Cinema Kommunisto’. The personal vision of Tito to create a Yugoslav cinema balanced between ideological orthodoxy, propaganda and artistic creation. After the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia, the independent republics were invited to respond to a cinematic landscape of cultural flows, transnational partnerships and global viewership. The course, starting from film (fiction and documentary) and to a lesser extent, television of the former Yugoslavia countries, will examine issues of national High/ Low culture and cinema, ideology and art, gender, memory and representation, transnationalism and Europeanness through the use of audio-visual and multimedia methods as well as visits to cultural organisations and sites (Cinemateque, Museum of Cinema, festivals).

    (3)    SYLLABUS

    This course explores key issues in urban ethnography and examines the interconnectedness of cities and globalization. It investigates different types of urban centers, with a particular focus on Eurasia and the Global South. Emphasis will be placed on how capitalism (e.g., markets, the informal economy, port cities), global networks (such as transnational communities), and contemporary challenges and opportunities (including climate change, resilient cities, and smart cities) shape urban life.The course also considers how urban residents—urbanites—are influenced by and respond to practices, material conditions, and circulating ideas within global or globalizing cities, which are continually transformed through local contexts. Within this framework, we will examine the emergence of creative networks, such as festivals, museums, and the mobility of artists, as well as various social movements, including those focused on environmental issues, migrant and refugee solidarity, and LGBTQ+ rights. Special attention will be given to the relationship between urban lifestyles and cinema, and how film continues to shape our perceptions and imaginaries of the urban experience.

    Course Outlines

    The course explores how people experience and negotiate borders, belonging, and displacement within systems of control, surveillance, and inclusion. It introduces key theoretical and methodological approaches in the anthropology of migration, including economic, historical, and postcolonial perspectives, network studies, and Global South approaches. Emphasis is placed on ethnographic methods and research ethics when working with mobile and vulnerable populations. Students examine transnational, economic, and gendered migrations and compare these with related categories such as diaspora and refugeehood.

    The course investigates the diverse meanings of diaspora—historical and contemporary, digital, and LGBTQ+—to highlight how identity, belonging, and political activism intersect in migrants’ everyday lives and in movements of solidarity.Artistic and cultural representations, such as literature, visual art, and diasporic cinema, are analyzed as alternative ethnographies that express migrant experiences and critique dominant narratives. Furthermore, the aim of this course is to introduce students to the anthropological perspective in the interdisciplinary fields of migration, transnationalism, globalization, and citizenship. It focuses on the reconceptualization of the different categories of ‘otherness’ (racial, religious and gender aspects) in light of anthropological theory and methodology.

    The discipline of anthropology uses a holistic and emic approach in analyzing the social dynamics of the migratory process, while centering on participant observation, the hallmark of anthropology, and the construction of subjectivities as the key actors on the move. The course uses the anthropological theory, perspective, and methodology to culturally explore certain experiences of migrants. Under the general concept of mobility, it focuses on voluntary and non-voluntary movements of people and detects political, economic, and overall social aspects that they have taken in recent decades. It focuses on forms of migration as they are shaped in the modern globalized environment and analyzes their gender, racial, religious, and work aspects.

    The course will be taught through the discussion of ethnographic case studies. More specifically, the course focuses on host society perceptions, and the migrant responses to these perceptions. The migratory movements of populations are examined in the context of globalization and global warming. It also addresses the impact of globalization on modern population movements and migration policies, and explores key terms, such as ‘migrant’, ‘refugee’, ‘ethnicity’, ‘nationality’, ‘race’, ‘citizenship’, ‘state’, ‘nation’, ‘transnationalism’, ‘mobility’, ‘assimilation’, ‘marginalization’ and ‘integration’.

    Towards the end of the course, the social psychological perspective which looks at groups’ mental processes and behaviours, usually through an etic approach and a positivist methodology, will first be noted to shed light on some of the above areas and in particular on ‘assimilation’, ‘marginalisation’, ‘separation’ and ‘integration’ but also ‘psychosocial well-being’; yet it will be combined with the critical social psychological perspective which supports an integrated etic-emic approach and a qualitative methodology.

    The critical social psychological perspective prompts its audiences to reflect on underlying assumptions in the discipline of psychology which often  underestimate or even neglect the socially constructed aspect of terms such as ‘pathology’, ‘mental illness’,’ psychological trauma’, ‘diagnosis’, ‘treatment’ and the unfair treatment this neglect may bring upon marginalized or minority groups. The above mean that towards the end of this course the perspective of anthropology-as outlined in the previous paragraphs- will make dialogue with the perspective of social psychology- as outlined above- in order to better understand migrant experiences and migrant well-being.
