This course introduces the themes of migration (and mobility/immobility) by focusing on the people who migrate and their experiences. It experiments with alternative ways of analyzing the larger structures and power relations that organize migration through a variety of texts such as ethnographies, life-stories, migrant narratives, visual arts, film, fiction (novels and short stories), and non-fiction (newspaper articles and memoirs). The main aim of the course is to use the power of storytelling to understand migration within the broader power relations such as colonialism, racism, capitalism, and imperialism, which remain hidden when migration is represented as a problem to be solved via policy or realpolitik.
