European Identity in the Era of Mass Migration

Migrants and refugees have become, in Rey Chow’s words, ‘the new primitives’ of Europe.On the other hand, the migrant has been celebrated as a symbol of 1) nomadic excess, 2) the ‘structural excess’ constitutive of law and morality 3) a utopian figure representing the ‘third way’ between nationalism and supra-nationalism, a model for the mobile subject of globalization, 4) the principal symbolic figure through which cinema represents urbanization on a planetary scale. This talk reflects on the ambiguities and contradictory aspects of the figure of the migrant and the ways in which this figure challenges us to rethink core concepts such as European identity, European citizenship, justice, ethics, liberty, tolerance, and hospitality.

La séance sera en anglais. Séminaire ouvert à tous sans inscription.
