Workshop 11-12 May 2023

Intimacy, Racialization and Affect in Contemporary Migration Politics (IntRA)

A collaborative Anglophone/Francophone workshop organized by the Institut Convergences Migrations, le Centre de recherches sociologiques et politiques de Paris (CRESPPA) & University of Amsterdam (UvA)

The topic of intimacy has long been central to feminist and queer scholarship on nation, empire, mobility and migration. While largely eluding definition, feminist- and queer scholars understand intimacy beyond the personal, the body and the household. These scholars  have theorized intimacy as an important site of population control, intersecting with other categories of subjectification such as gender, sexuality, religion, race, age and class (cf. Amphoux et Mondada, 1989; Berrebi-Hoffmann, 2009; McClintock, 1995; Oswin N. and Olun, 2010; Stoler, 1995; 2002; Yuval-Davis, 1997). Exploring the concept beyond the private-public divide has allowed feminist- and queer scholars to conceptualize the politics of intimacy as foundational to both colonial- and contemporary politics of citizenship. As such, intimacy has been theorized as imperative to contemporary politics of belonging, and an important site of critiquing the boundaries of liberal subjectivities (Evans, 1993; Lister, 1997; Luibheid, 2008; Plummer, 2003; Sabsay, 2016; Saleh, 2020).  Intimacy has in parallel become central to migration scholarship, particularly for scholars interrogating the politics of family- and queer migrations (see ex: Giametta, 2017; Mai & King, 2009; White, 2014). Within this literature, scholars have theorized intimacy in relation to how migrants and support networks negotiate agency relative to state migration institutions, and explored intimate relations as an important site of state interventions (see ex: Odasso & Salcedo, 2022; Schmoll, 2021; Bonjour et de Hart, 2021). Building on this scholarship, the IntRA workshop aims for a transnational, bilingual, reflection on how intimacy is articulated in contemporary migration politics in relation to processes of racialization and affective economies across- and beyond Europe.

The two days international/collaborative workshop invites scholars to explore how the “intimacy-racialization-affect” nexus, in relation to other vectors of oppression/privilege, such as sexuality, gender, age, class, nationality, shape power dynamics that structure encounters between individual subjects (migrants, non-migrants, support networks, families) and state actors in citizenship- and migration processes.

Detailed in the attached call for papers, we invite abstracts that explore the “intimacy-racialization-affect” nexus along the following three axes
1. Nation, kinship and family
2. Asylum and affective relations
3. Intermediaires, brokerage and activism

Contributions - in French or English - should state which theme is aimed by the contribution (or mention a preferred theme). Contributions are welcomed in the form of a (max) 250-word abstract, alongside a list of keywords, a short bio of the researcher (100 words max), a brief introduction to their research and themes addressed in their work (200 words max).
Please submit these documents byJanuary 25th, 2023: 23.59.
