- Inhalt
- According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, around 80 million people – one in 100 people on the planet – have been forced to leave their homes because of the violent conflict, persecution, famine, or natural disaster. A majority of them are refugees, which is almost 26 million (UNHCR, 2020). These high numbers tell us that the conflict and disaster driven displacement and forced movement of millions of people across the globe is one of the most pressing humanitarian issues of the current century.
Furthermore, this high number of refugees or forced migrants result from a combination of intertwined factors including but not limited to civil war, risk of genocide, internal violence perpetrated by religious extremism, natural disaster due to climate change, and an uneven social and economic development. However, specifically in Europe and the USA, the current political discourse over refugees or forced migration revolves around topics like legal bans, border security, state policies and victimisation of the people, which ignores the humanitarian and human right side of the debate. In our study, we will attempt to analyse these political dimensions as well as the lexicon that differentiates between refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, and aliens.
This class will offer a survey of different intellectual, analytical and research tools to study the complexities of forced migration and refugeehood. To do so, this class will be incorporating theories and literature from different academic disciplines. The class will begin by mapping the political and theoretical field of refugee studies, which then leads to exploring how refugees have portrayed themselves and have been portrayed in literature, film, and art. Finally, this class will inquire how different formal qualities of each piece of literature or film or art dictate our understanding of the refugees.
