CULT 553 Spaces of Migration
3 Credits
This course explores how migratory movements and
attempts at their regulation produce space as well as
scale, and reviews the theoretical constructs (such
as transnationalism and translocalism) that account
for the emergent spatialities of migrant connections.
Topics to be covered include how migrants make
place and negotiate home in their everyday lives,
how experiences of localization vary among cities,
how life in camps may differ from or resemble life in
the city, how states undertake spatial strategies to
deter migrant flows (including excision of territories,
pushbacks of border-crossers and creation of
‘hotspots’), how migration routes come into being
(including through smuggling networks), are
governed and closed off only to be re-channeled
elsewhere, and what moral geographies correspond
to processes of migration by assigning social
legitimacy to particular mobilities
