Module description

This module will offer students the opportunity to examine past and present theoretical debates on migration. It will look at the ways in which major social, political and economic shifts at local and global level have contributed to the making and re-making of migrant subjectivities and identities in a globalised world.The module will focus specifically on a series of interconnected debates on cosmopolitanism, migration, citisenship and multiculturalism. This is intended to increase students' awareness of the active role played by migrants in wider political, social, and economic transformations, and for current anthropological debates on agency and personhood, on gender and intimacy, on subjectivity and identity.
