Event Date: March 29, 2022
Examining the issue of state-diaspora relations in Central and Southeastern Europe since the late 19th century, the thematic issue of Dve domovini/Two Homelands (https://ojs.zrc-sazu.si/twohomelands) brings to light the intricacies of migrations, nation-building and sovereignty in an era of recurrent border changes and shifts of political regimes. Regulating out-migration and engaging presumed co-nationals abroad were interwoven with states’ politics of identity and belonging. However, as a result of border shifts and contradictory policies, diaspora building projects often backfired and increased the gap between the states and “their” emigrants instead of overcoming it.
The thematic issue will be presented on March 29, 4 pm (CET) at the online roundtable, organized by the Slovenian Migration Institute at the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts and the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies.
Participants: Ulf Brunnbauer (Institute for East and Southeast European Studies), Vesna Đikanović (Institute for Recent History of Serbia), Ethan Larson (The Tobin Project, Boston), Anna Mazurkiewicz (University of Gdańsk), Kristina E. Poznan (University of Maryland), Ursula Prutsch (Ludwig Maximilian University) Miha Zobec (ZRC SAZU/University of Primorska).
