Migration and borders in the globalised world: living together in conviviality?
Border regimes and processes of marginalisation counteract forms of convivial coexistence in different ways in neoliberal nation states, at present as well as in the past. What can be done about this? Which strategies can be used to boost conviviality in this context? And what does it take to make living convivially possible within different societies in the first place?
Suvendrini Perera, Joseph Pugliese, Amani Abuzahra and Monika Mokre will discuss these and other questions on conviviality in a transcontinental panel discussion. Chaired by Marina Gržinić.
