    Outline Since the second half of the 20th century, the term ‘genocide’, coined by Raphael Lemkin in the 1940s, has become central in international discourses and conventions as well as in research on mass killings and atrocities. The systematic murder of European Jews during the National Socialist Regime is considered the key case of genocide initiated and executed by a modern state’s bureaucratic apparatus backed by the majority of ‘ordinary’ men and women. The study trip provides an introduction to Nazi genocidal politics, its implementation and consequences in and beyond Germany. Starting right after the seizure of power (‘Machtergreifung’) in 1933 the ideal of a German ‘Arian community’ constituted the basis of many forms of societal exclusion and persecution with often lethal consequences for individuals and groups – Germans as well as people of different national and ethnic origin. Hundreds of concentration camps were core sites of the Nazi regime’s strategy for intimidating, punishing, segregating and eliminating those who deviated from the political and societal order and norms of the imagined racialized community. Both, the detention in concentration camps (where death was omnipresent) and the systematic killing in specialized extermination camps resulting in the Holocaust, were interwoven with forms of forced migration and labour. Moreover, the forced labour of East European civilians shoud also be read as an aspect of the genocidal strategies for creating space for German settlements in Poland and the Soviet Union. During WW II millions of civilians, men, women and children were forced to work for the German wartime economy, encompassing all kinds of private, state, municipal or church fields of works. Their working and living conditions differed according to the implemented racial order, but were also framed by wartime politics and the everyday attitudes and actions of Germans in different political and social positions. The majority of forced labourers lived in camps in order to control them and manifest their exclusion from the desirable German population. Many Germans and German companies profited from the system of forced labour taking action to keep the system of exploitation, deprivation and humiliation running. The Nazi past is not just an important historical case of extreme violence; it is also a crucial reference point not only in German and European but also in global memory discourses. Given the fact that atrocities committed before and after the Holocaust have caused further legacies of traumatic experiences and play a crucial role for individuals and groups on national and international scales, it is also essential to discuss how remembrance in the public sphere can address the multitude of perspectives without creating hierarchical memory politics. Recent research scrutinises the effects of globalised Holocaust memory cultures, obligations of remembering and forgetting extreme cases of violence. In the German context, this concerns questions on the marginalisation of remembering genocides committed during colonial times. The Herero and Nama(qua) genocide committed by the German colonial army (1904-1908) in then German South West Africa (now Namibia) has been categorized as the first genocide of the 20th century. Only recently, over a hundred years after the massacre, the German government officially acknowledged the atrocities as genocide. In line with but also beyond the need to decolonise social practices of remembering the European history of extreme violence, it is also crucial to bear in mind that genocide has still been a serious issue in the recent history of different world regions. Despite the adoption of the “Convention on the Prevention and Punishment” of the Crime of Genocide by the UN (1948) and its ratification by many states, geopolitical interests and power constellations influence (inter)national campaigns of awareness raising as well as (inter)national politics of intervention and remembering. In this vein, the genocide in Bangladesh during the liberation war in 1971 will be a further reference point for our reflections on memory politics and knowledge production. This genocide in is one of the nearly forgotten genocides, which even “[w]ithin comparative genocide studies the Bangladesh genocide remains strikingly little known” as the genocide scholar Adam Jones stated. He argues “[t]his reflects the peripheral position of East Pakistan/Bangladesh in the global order – something that also accounts for the lack of international interest and intervention at the time.” Two students from Bangladesh will attend our study trip and introduce us to the history of this genocide and the past and presence of remembrance. Three genocides, the Holocaust, the Herero and Nama(qua) genocide as well as the Bangladesh genocide will serve as case studies to discuss the linkages between power, knowledge production and memory politics. Central to the discussion will be the impact of gender in politics and practices of exclusion in terms of perpetrators, victims and beneficiaries, if such sharply delineated categories are at all applicable. This should include a close scrutiny of gender dimensions of memory (politics). We will visit in particular: • House of the Wannsee Conference, https://www.ghwk.de/en The representative villa in the affluent and respectable neighbourhood at the lake Wannsee on the outskirts of Berlin was used as an SS guesthouse from 1941 to 1945. In 1942, representatives of the SS, the Nazi party and the state met there to discuss their cooperation in the deportation and murder of the European Jews. We will visit the exhibition and have a seminar on the ‘Final Solution’. • Postcolonial Berlin, http://www.berlin-postkolonial.de (in German) The organisation addresses German and European colonialism and its aftermath up to the present. Like other organisations in German cities, their work includes initiatives for remembrance integrating the views of descendants of the colonized and the racialized people in Germany and Europe. We will have a guided tour with a member of the non-governmental organisation focussing on the genocide in German South West Africa. • Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, http://www.stiftung-denkmal.de/en/home.html This national memorial, located in the centre of the capital, was opened in 2006. The erection and design of the memorial was controversially discussed in public and finally approved by the German parliament. The part of the memorial on ground level “the Field of Stelae”, designed by the internationally renowned US-American architect Peter Eisenstein, can be accessed and walked through from all directions. The subterranean information centre provides a permanent exhibition, which documents the persecution and murder of the European Jews. We will visit the two components of the memorial and discuss our impressions and points of view with a guide of the memorial. • Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum, http://www.stiftung-bg.de/gums/en/index.htm The concentration camp Sachsenhausen, located on the outskirts of the town of Oranienburg near the capital Berlin, operated as role model and education centre for the SS. From 1936 to 1945 more than 200,000 men were incarcerated, first mostly political opponents, then increasingly men from Germany and the occupied countries, who were accused of various transgressions of the social and racial order and/or because they embodied the undesirable population for creating an “Arian society”. The memorial site provides information about the terror system and is perpetrators, the life and death of prisoners in this camp and in the earlier concentration camp for around 3000 male political opponents, which was located in the heart of Oranienburg from March 1933 to July 1934. The subsequent use of the camp Sachsenhausen by the Soviet secret service (1945-1950) is addressed by the memorial site as is the history of commemoration, particularly in the GDR (1950-1990). The visit will be a combination of a tour of the memorial site and a seminar. • The Nazi Forced Labour Documentation Centre, http://www.dz-ns-zwangsarbeit.de/en The documentation centre is a relatively new memorial site, established in 2006 on the historical site of a Berlin camp for forced labourers during the Nazi time. The centre serves to raise awareness for the forced labour of civilians from different European countries. This aspect of the Nazi time, for decades marginalised in official and public memory, became a prominent topic during the (inter)national public debate of the compensation of forced labourers in the late 1990s. A guided tour will provide an overview about forced labour during the Nazi time, its aftermath, particularly the fate of those who were repatriated to the Soviet Union. Students are expected to prepare the study trip through extensive reading. Notes, visual and audio files should be taken during the study trip. The study trip will close with a workshop in Oldenburg (on October 29) to provide space for articulating different perspectives on the topics. Students are also invited to write (photo) essays, poems etc. that can be published in journals or on websites. Costs EMMIR will cover all of the expenses connected to the educational parts of the study trip; you will have to contribute 80 Euro (for accommodation and local travel) and self-fund your travel to and from Berlin.

    Roma are one of the biggest and most under-researched minorities in Europe. While they are under-represented in main sectors of society, such as education and labor market, discrimination remains flagrant among the European states. Only recently the European Commission’s Framework on Roma integration was set up and is slowly being implemented in national agendas. The study trip to the Czech Republic aims at exploring the many layers of discrimination and negative representation of Roma, de-coding the mechanisms and structures behind the processes of exclusion that are not unique to Roma minority only. Another objective of the study trip is to engage students in the current discussions related to this topic and let them reflect upon some examples of good practice in cities of Prague, České Budějovice, Český Krumlov and Brno. In summer 2013, České Budějovice, as one of many Czech cities, experienced a series of violent anti-Roma demonstrations and marches. In a response, many discussions, meetings and conferences were held with an objective to search for a cause of such an unforeseen development and to debate possible solutions. What are the results of these debates? What is the recent development? To what extent the involved institutions and organizations cooperate and what level of cooperation is necessary for improvement of the situation? Are those debates still relevant in 2017 in the light of ‘new and more urgent/visible’ development related to the so-called refugee crisis?

    Advanced Workshop (Theory) 30 October, 9-13 0,5 ECTS Outline The workshop examines the context and processes of border crossing of a large number of people that is construed as instability, insecurity and sense of apprehension at the places where mobile people arrived. The spectacle of civil wars, military intervention and exodus of people has been understood, analyzed, written about in diverse ways in electronic, print and social media. This portrayal has informed and influenced the common sense and polices in myriad ways. The stories and visuals of boat-train-road journeys and its associated perils, the depiction of crime and terror, idea and realities of migrant settlement and camps and imaginaries of border sieges delineate various aspects on 'crisis'. The recent 'migrant crisis' that engulfed Europe has a parallel in the south and southeast Asia where thousands of people were persecuted in the name of ethnicity. However, these people had nowhere to go as they were rendered stateless. The differential approach by media towards the ‘crisis’ in global north and south was discernible. In one place, sense of unease, anxiety and magnitude of the crisis was apparent by its attention; on the other silence and numbness provided some insights about newsworthiness. Articulation of nationalism, the depiction of terror and security drawing from Islamophobia and the larger political context of the nation-state will be discussed in the workshop. The migrant's vulnerability towards trafficking, disease, etc. becomes an important marker in understanding the media representation of migrants the 'crisis' they create. This brings us to interrogate few questions: How is this crisis constructed? How do borders enter into this discourse? And, how is identity positioned? The workshop shall engage with the frame of reference and representation; the idea of nation-state and nationalism, the role of religion, economy and polity in influencing the depiction and discourse.

    Advanced Workshop with // Ahmed Gamal Eldin, AUW 1 Nov 0,5 ECTS Outline Within the current context of neo-liberal policy agenda and the declining international aid and the proliferation of national and international actors competing for funds and for a role/space in the governance of the global peripheries, consulting, outsourcing, subcontracting and short-termism have become key features of humanitarian aid and the development industry. Thus, seeking the expertise, advice and general assistance of independent external consultants or consultancy firms is becoming very common in private, public and voluntary sectors a like. The workshop focuses on consulting within the humanitarian and development sector and aims to introduce students to the interesting, yet complex and challenging world of consulting. It explores and critically discusses questions pertinent to the nature and features of the consulting industry, the diversity of actors on both sides, the opportunities and challenges as well as the ethical issues involved. In particular, the workshop intends to critically address the following questions: A. General Questions • Why is consulting becoming important and the industry growing? • Who needs consultants and external contractors, when and why? • What are the different types of consultants and consultancy firms (e.g. firms vs. Individual actors; discussions of internal vs external positionalities; national vs. international; short-term vs. long term etc.)? • Why do some people choose to work as independent consultants, and what are the pros and cons of doing so? • What are the required knowledge and skills? • Positioning consultants within/without organizational structure and routine procedures (i.e. positioning consultancies in routine work, plans, policies and strategies of organization). • Integrating consultancy outcome/results into routine work. • Handling the relationship between consultants and senior managers/regular staff. • What are the general opportunities and challenges associated with working as or recruiting consultants? • What are the contractual issues to consider? • What are the ethical issues associated with consulting work? B. Critical Discussions • How influential are external/independent consultants and why? • What happens to the work and knowledge produced by consultants? • What is the real or potential role of consultants in knowledge transfer, the diffusion of policy ideas and the mediation of mode of exchange both within and between different humanitarian and development agencies and their partners/stakeholders? • Whose interests do consultants (intentionally or unintentionally) serve? The workshop draws on the (limited) available literature on the topic as well as on my own 10 years of experience as an external independent consultant with government bodies, national and international NGOs, international humanitarian and development and agencies such as the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC), German International Development Cooperation (GIZ), UK DFID, the French CEDEJ, Population Council (US); and UN agencies such as UNDP, IOM, UNICEF, UNFPA and WHO.

    Concerning massive cross-border migration across the globe, the notions of belonging and citizenship assume significant domains for discussion. It is here that the revolving aspects of contingency and heterogeneity of identities are posed with a crucial question in relation to the newly arrived populace who strive to accommodate themselves simultaneously being posed with threats of the surveillance state. In the South Asian context, it is necessary to contextualize migration within the historical trajectory of the partition of India. The workshop would provide scope for understanding the experience of the evolution of nation-state and the formation of national identity in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh that was accompanied by the mass movement and population displacement. First, the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947 and subsequently bifurcation of Bangladesh from Pakistan in 1971 has witnessed people' movement in vast number. We shall examine how migration and displacement played a crucial role in shaping the idea of the nation-state in these countries? Particularly, the migrant identity as a politico-religious category that is shaped by historical impulses over the decades would be discussed. Ideological differences over the identity of the post-partition Indian state and subjective constructions of citizenship in everyday life will be examined in the workshop. This eventually poses questions around the construction of a migrant identity as a ‘citizen-outsider’, and portrayal of a migrant in mainstream discourse. Bangladesh has a common boundary with India on three sides, sharing around 2,500 miles of border with the Indian states. Since 1947, successive waves of people facing hostile conditions, persecution, intolerance, and adverse economic situations in what constitutes present-day Bangladesh have found refuge in India. The workshop will look into contemporary Bangladeshi migration in the wider context of globalization and the emergence of footloose capital and labour across national boundaries. Besides, the domestic politics and political strategies of political parties have its ramifications of the identity, security and survival of the migrants in a regime where refugee/migration policy is non-existent. The question of ‘illegality’, ‘undocumentedness’, ‘electoral implication’, and ‘religious tension’ will be unpacked. Pedagogy: case studies/ narratives of lived experience, lecture, Documentary.

    Since the eighteenth century, few criminal offences have held the attention of writers, states and popular audiences like maritime piracy. Those who commit the crime have become familiar across western cultures, most commonly through representations of historical pirates in literature and media. In both mediums, pirates have long been idealised as outlaws, individuals liberated from the constricting norms of landed society and thus free to move across oceans and between cultures. Yet while this trope of the pirate continues to exist, governments treat their modern-day successors as criminal deviants and predators set upon the disruption of legitimate global trade. These contrasting archetypes can be seen in the well-known examples of early modern Caribbean pirates – such as Blackbeard or Anne Bonny – and those people who attack shipping off the coast of modern-day Somalia. In recent years, historians have set about deconstructing both these literary tropes and legal fictions of the pirate, demonstrating how they, more than critical engagement with source material, have shaped our understandings of piracy for at least the past two hundred years. In so doing, scholars have created a problem, however. The question remains that, if these established images of pirates are the simple adoption of narratives spun by lawyers, politicians and writers for their own ends, then how should academics approach the subject of piracy? This workshop will invite students to take a new approach to piracy, by examining its history as an imperial intellectual construct. Invariably, across time and place, the pursuit and extermination of people deemed “pirates” was conducted by aspiring imperial powers, seeking to control global flows of people for their own ends. Returning to the term’s origins in antiquity and tracing its usage into the early modern period, we will consider how the seafarers who became known as pirates were not simply criminals, but migrants, traders and cultural intermediaries. The session will challenge participants to recover this history of the pirate through a range of case studies, where they will conduct close readings of source material ranging from law and literature to economic and political texts. In each case, we will consider the particular movements of people with which the source material is concerned, the motives specific imperial advocates had in seeking to control them and condemn some of their number as pirates and weigh the implications of each example for the concept’s evolution. In doing so, we will venture geographically from the Mediterranean, to the Caribbean, coastal Africa and the Indian Ocean, using the study of piracy to recover pre-modern discourses around migration, but also religiosity, moral economy, ethnicity and law.
