Cíle předmětu
The course introduce students into the study of migration and immigrant incorporation from the perspective of transnationalism. What happens whe more migrants live some aspects of their lives across borders, but they continue to be served by legal, educational, and health care systems that remain stubbornly within the boundaries of the nation-state? We will explore how moving beyond the perspective of the nation state changes the study of migration and related phenomena. The focus on borders and their proliferation to various domains of social life will enable critical analysis of contemporary regimes of mobility and citizenship. We will also inquire into the contradictions between global labour markets and nation states and formation of migration policies.
By the end of the semester, students should be able to:
• Define and discuss transnational studies and transnational approaches to migration, including the critical assesment of transnationalism;
• Understand and explain the proliferation of borders;
• Apply the transnational perspective to different domains of social life;
• Design a research methodology for studying transnational migration and proliferation of borders;
