Post-soviet diaspora(s) in Western Europe (1991-2017)

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, millions of former soviet citizens crossed the national borders in search of better lives in new countries, in what was the biggest migration tide since the end of World War II. These Post-Soviet migrants were diverse in origins, strategies and expectations. They often represented a challenge to the orthodox views of migration processes, since in most cases these flows could not be easily described and analysed following commonly accepted theoretical frameworks. Everybody seemed to be on the move: labour migrants, political refugees, cross-border traders, “tourists” planning to forget their return... and in a short period, they spread all over Western Europe.

Cross-border relations: couples and families in the modern era of mobility

La journée d’étude a pour but de débattre des différentes formes de dépassements frontaliers dans le cadre conjugal et familial. Nous nous interrogerons sur le rôle ainsi que sur la fonction des rapports de proximité familiale pendant la période de mobilité tout comme au moment de la sédentarisation. À partir d’une multitude de perspectives et de regards à long terme sur les communautés interculturelles privées, la journée d’étude propose également de réfléchir à l’élaboration de concepts pour une historisation systématique des dites communautés.
