  Memórias individuais e coletivas da escravidão e do tráfico de pessoas escravizadas: uma comparação contrastiva entre diferentes comunidades, gerações e agrupamentos em Gana e no Brasil, Descrição: Coordenadoras: Profa. Dra. Maria Pohn-Lauggas, Profa. Dra. Gabriele Rosenthal (Universidade de Göttingen; Göttingen, Alemanha) Parceiros: Prof. Dr. Hermílio Santos (Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul; Porto Alegre, Brasil), Prof. Dr. Steve Tonah (Universidade de Gana; Legon, Gana) Membros da equipe na Alemanha: Dra. Eva Bahl, Dr. Artur Bogner, Lucas Cé Sangalli, MA, Dra. Nicole Witte Membros da equipe em Gana: Rainer Alongwe, BA, Ismael Osei Boampong, MPhil, Dr. Felix Longi Membros da equipe no Brasil: Giorgia Galvan Moreira, BA, Raphaela Pereira Dellazeri, BA Financiado pela Sociedade Alemã de Amparo à Pesquisa (DFG) Duração do projeto: 2022-2025 Nosso estudo interpretativo empírico se concentra em uma comparação contrastiva entre memórias coletivas e individuais da escravidão em diferentes regiões, gerações e agrupamentos em Gana e no Brasil. A partir de uma perspectiva da sociologia do conhecimento e da sociologia das figurações, reconstruiremos as interdependências entre diferentes práticas de memória. Enquanto a era do tráfico transcontinental de pessoas escravizadas é tão remota para uma mulher europeia branca que ela não a relaciona com a história de sua família, isto é completamente diferente no Brasil e em Gana. Lá, este passado multifacetado é vivenciado como menos remoto tanto na memória pública como familiar e em práticas comemorativas. Isto está parcialmente conectado ao fato de que muitas pessoas sabem que seus ancestrais foram escravizados ou escravizaram outras pessoas. No entanto, a história do tráfico de pessoas escravizadas e da escravidão em geral é lembrada de diversas formas ? por vezes controversas ? em discursos públicos ou lugares de recordação, no diálogo familiar, por membros de diferentes agrupamentos e em diferentes regiões do país. Ao conduzirmos uma comparação contrastiva entre regiões selecionadas em Gana e no Brasil, examinaremos essas diferenças e mostraremos como elas se devem a diferentes trajetórias no passado, bem como a configurações sociais em mudança entre diferentes agrupamentos. Em Gana, planejamos nos concentrar nas cidades costeiras de Elmina e Cape Coast, de onde os navios tumbeiros partiram, e em duas regiões no norte do país onde as pessoas eram capturadas e vendidas em mercados. No Brasil, trabalharemos na região litorânea de Salvador, na Bahia, onde a maioria da população atual é descendente de pessoas que foram escravizadas, e na região de Pelotas, no Rio Grande do Sul, onde a maioria da população tem antepassados europeus. Nossas questões de pesquisa são: o que foi transmitido sobre o passado nas comunidades e nas famílias? Quais formas de escravidão e do tráfico de pessoas escravizadas (transatlântico, transsaariano, intra-africano, intra-brasileiro) são tematizadas por quem, como e em qual contexto? Além disso, estamos interessados no que é ou não comunicado nos lugares de recordação e em eventos comemorativos nestas regiões, bem como quais pessoas se reúnem nesses lugares ou eventos. Pretendemos realizar entrevistas de história de vida e de família (se possível, com várias gerações em uma família), discussões em grupo, bem como entrevistas temáticas e etnográficas com visitantes e guias em lugares de recordação.. , Situação: Em andamento; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Gabriele Rosenthal - Coordenador / Nicole Witte - Integrante / Maria Pohn-Lauggas - Integrante / Eva Bahl - Integrante / Lucas Cé Sangalli - Integrante / Steve Tonah - Integrante / Hermilio Santos - Integrante., Financiador(es): Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft - Auxílio financeiro.

  Biografias de migrantes da Síria e da África Ocidental no Brasil e na Alemanha ? Processos de inclusão e participação no contexto da assim chamada migração irregular, Descrição: Como a vida de migrantes da África Ocidental e da Síria na Alemanha difere da vida desses migrantes no Brasil? Até que ponto sua situação é influenciada por sua história coletiva e biografia e pelo fato de o Brasil ser um país que se define em termos de imigração, em contraste com a Alemanha, que se define como contrária à imigração? Imigrantes no Brasil vivenciam relações com diferentes agrupamentos de cidadãos estabelecidos de forma diferente daquela dos imigrantes na Alemanha? Para responder essas questões, reconstruiremos as histórias coletivas e biográficas de pessoas da África Ocidental e da Síria que vivem já há alguns anos na Alemanha ou no Brasil. Nosso foco principal será nos migrantes geralmente considerados nos discursos sociais dominantes como ?irregulares? ou ?não planejados? e em como processos de inclusão e participação diferem no Brasil e na Alemanha. Nossa intenção é analisar como pessoas se situam em mundos da vida muito distintos e em contextos estatais e sociais diferentes. Teremos que levar em consideração que o processo de migrar para o Brasil foi provavelmente menos difícil que o de migrar para a Europa e que obter permissão para residir e trabalhar é mais fácil para os imigrantes no Brasil do que na Europa. De fato, muitos migrantes que conseguem entrar na União Europeia são descritos como ?ilegais? e aqueles que excedem o tempo previsto em seus vistos são ilegalizados e sua condição de residência pode permanecer pouco clara por um longo período de tempo. Um objetivo central do estudo é realizar pesquisa empírica sobre essas diferenças e sobre suas consequências para esses migrantes. Investigaremos quais constelações sociais e biográficas antes, durante e depois da migração determinam cursos biográficos que facilitam ou dificultam o estabelecimento e a participação dos migrantes na vida social no país de destino. Ao comparar diferentes agrupamentos de migrantes, diferentes cursos migratórios e diferentes situações no presente, pretendemos demonstrar em que medida a vida atual dos migrantes é determinada por: a) seus cursos coletivos e biográficos no país de destino; b) seus processos migratórios; c) seus novos mundos da vida e, especialmente, d) oportunidades de inclusão e participação no país de destino. Além de reconstruções de casos biográficos baseadas em entrevistas narrativas biográficas (algumas das quais foram conduzidas no contexto de projetos anteriores com migrantes que recentemente haviam cruzado a fronteira), planejamos estudar cursos biográficos por um longo período de tempo com entrevistas de acompanhamento e discussões em grupo sobre a vida atual dos migrantes.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Gabriele Rosenthal - Coordenador / Arne Worm - Integrante / Eva Bahl - Integrante / Lucas Cé Sangalli - Integrante / Hermílio Santos - Integrante / Maria do Carmo dos Santos Gonçalves - Integrante., Financiador(es): Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft - Auxílio financeiro.

  Dynamic figurations of refugees, migrants, and longtime residents in Jordan since 1946: between peaceable and tension-ridden co-existence?, Descrição: Jordan is currently again having to cope with the arrival of a very high number of refugees. We want to find out how this new situation is affecting relationships between different groupings within the population, which includes large numbers of refugees who have entered the country since 1947/48 in different phases of the regional history. It can be assumed that figurations have repeatedly changed of groupings who have lived in Jordan for a long time and new groupings that have arrived successively. Remarkable in the case of Jordan is that so far these processes of transformation in the demographic and socio-political structures have taken place relatively peaceably or, more precisely, with a relatively low level of violence. By studying the social figurations of refugees, other immigrants and longtime residents which have continually changed since 1947/48, and the formation of various groupings and we-groups, we hope to be able to reconstruct the factors which enable or determine the formation of various tension-ridden and peaceable constellations of groupings which are socio-culturally diverse. While research in the field of peace and conflict studies tends to be concentrated on so-called crisis areas, or post-conflict settings, with Jordan we would like to direct attention to a host country in which, apart from the Jordanian Civil War of 1970/71 (also known as Black September), there have been almost no armed conflicts. It must be remembered that the majority-minority situation in Jordan has changed considerably, not only as a result of the arrival of approximately 800,000 Palestinian refugees in 1947/48 and after (with a population of longtime residents in 1947/48 of around 375,000). The immigration of other groupings of refugees from Iraq, and currently from Syria, has also led to lasting changes in the social figurations and in everyday life. This gives rise to the following questions: in what ways have the figurations of different groupings of refugees and longtime residents changed, and how has stability or peaceful co-existence been maintained on a practical, everyday level? These questions will be investigated in the conurbation of Amman. Between 1948 und 2015 the population in this urban space has grown to over four million, a 55-fold increase, due among other things to the influx of refugees. We will work in different contexts selected according to theoretical criteria, in families and neighborhoods and refugee camps, using a combination of methods, including participant observation, group discussions, thematically focused interviews and narrative family and biographical interviews. This approach will enable us to reconstruct handed-down narratives and personal experiences of people in diverse social groupings, and their future perspectives, and to study everyday interactions between them.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Gabriele Rosenthal - Coordenador / Johannes Becker - Integrante / Hendrik Hinrichsen - Integrante., Financiador(es): Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft - Auxílio financeiro.

  On the social contingency of educational and development chances through physical activity. Empirical studies and transfers with a special focus on diversity, Descrição: Joint research project funded by the Ministry of Science and Culture, Lower Saxony, under the research programme Early childhood education and development. In collaboration with Prof. Dr. phil. Ina Hunger (Institute of Sport Science of the Georg August University, Göttingen) & Prof. Dr. med. Knut Brockmann (Interdisciplinary Pediatric Center for Children with Developmental Disabilities and Severe Chronic Disorders, Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, University Medical Center of the Georg August University, Göttingen). In discussions on early childhood education and development, the importance of physical education is always underlined. Whether from a socio-political, academic or practical point of view, it is regularly pointed out that children`s health and motor skills, and their cognitive, mental, social and emotional development, are intimately connected with physical activity. However, the degree to which children are able to benefit from the educational and development potentials ascribed to physical activity depends as a rule on the social constellation in which they grow up. In particular it is the (social) parent`s, as the ones who are primarily responsible for their children`s education and socialization, who open up, restrict, increase or deny opportunities for learning and experience through physical activities, who accept, encourage or put a stop to sporting activities or therapies. This is the starting point for this joint research project. It considers the social constellations in which children spend their early years, and its goal is to paint a differentiated picture of the typical structures of socialization in respect of physical activities (and their potential), to reconstruct the parent`s action-oriented knowledge and their motives for encouraging their young children to be physically active, to analyse the social conditions that lead parents to encourage or discourage physical activity, and to relate these to the (regularly diagnosed) development of the child. The joint project comprises three interrelated sub-projects, focusing on families from different social, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. In addition to examining the specific milieu, attention will also be paid to the significance of the child`s gender and its special needs. In a practical transfer phase, the specific knowledge thus acquired of parents social and cultural self-understanding in respect of early childhood (gender-related) socialization, education and support/therapy in terms of children`s physical activities, will enable us to optimize (social or remedial) pedagogical, development-related and health-oriented counselling from a diversity perspective. Overall, the long-term goal of this cooperative research project and practical transfer is to improve (social) access to the educational and development potentials of physical activity, especially for children who are disadvantaged by their familial and social background.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Gabriele Rosenthal - Coordenador / Nicole Witte - Integrante / Ina Hunger - Integrante / Knut Brockmann - Integrante / Doreen Blume-Peiffer - Integrante / Tim Flügge - Integrante / Kevin Russek - Integrante.

  The social construction of border zones: A comparison of two geopolitical cases, Descrição: Pilot study by Efrat Ben-Zeev and Nir Gazit sponsored from 2012-2014 by The Harry S. Truman Research Institute Grant, Hebrew University and the Ruppin Academic Center). The project examines the social construction of border zones and border activities as well as the processes by which they are transformed. In our selected cases, the borders gradually changed in recent years from being relatively porous for irregular migrants to their almost complete closure. In both cases, though, the border is made porous again through the pressure exercised by migrants and smugglers. We will focus on two structurally very different geopolitical contexts: on the one hand the border regions between African countries and Spain - the maritime border between West Africa and the Canary islands and the border region between Morocco and the Spanish exclaves Ceuta and Melilla - and on the other hand, the border region between Egypt and Israel. This contrastive comparison will help to reconstruct similarities and differences in the construction of border zones and in the practical reality of their implementation - the 'doing' of borders. The centers of attention will be, firstly, on the subjective experiences of members of different groupings which are involved in 'border activities' (migrants, policing forces, NGOs, smugglers, inhabitants of border regions, etc.) and the processes of the genesis of their perspectives; secondly on the figurations between these groupings which have unequal power chances and, thirdly, on their concrete interactions in everyday life. Apart from the ethnographic research on current experiences of actors and on face-to-face interactions between members of different groupings, we are also interested in the reconstruction of divergent collective, family and life histories resp. of stocks of knowledge of illegalized/irregular migrants in regard to different border areas. Furthermore, we will ask how informal (or unofficial) practices of actors (those practices besides formalized practices of governmental and non-governmental organizations and groupings) are interwoven with formal migration policies and legal frameworks.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Gabriele Rosenthal - Coordenador / Arne Worm - Integrante / Efrat Ben-Zeev - Integrante / Nir Gazit - Integrante / Eva Bahl - Integrante / Lucas Cé Sangalli - Integrante / Lukas Hofmann - Integrante., Financiador(es): Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft - Auxílio financeiro.

  Child Soldiers in context. Biographies, familial and collective trajectories in northern Uganda, Descrição: Work on this research project started in May 2014 and is supervised by Prof. Dieter Neubert (Chair for Development Sociology, University of Bayreuth) and funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for the years 2014-16. The First Researcher is Artur Bogner. The project has been designed and is conducted in collaboration with Prof. Gabriele Rosenthal (Center of Methods in the Social Sciences, Georg-August University Göttingen). The principal objective is to reconstruct biographies, life courses and (re-)integration processes of former child soldiers and underage abductees of the Lord's Resistance Army in the central part of northern Uganda. In contrast to previous research, data collection and analysis shall focus on embedding their biographical self-presentations and self-interpretations in the contexts of family histories and the histories of their local social settings and collectivities, interpreting them within these diachronic and collective contexts and taking into account their intertwining with the latter The methodological design of the study is based on the principles of social-constructivist biographical research and figurational sociology with an emphasis on family histories. One focus is on the intertwining between self-presentations and collective discourses, self-interpretation and interpretation by others, and another one on the differences, tensions and interdependencies between various socio-historical generations and between 'generational units' (in the sense of Karl Mannheim) The main instrument of data gathering will be narrative interviews on their biographies and family histories with former child soldiers or abductees and other members of their families. This method of data collection has been tested in a pilot study on the spot. Case reconstructions will aim to capture the effects of familial pasts and family-biographical work for the life courses and self-interpretations of the interviewees before and after demobilization. Biographical and family-history interviews with family members shall be complemented among others by interviews and group interviews with other informants, largely from their local social settings An important aim is to combine biographical and family-biographical case reconstructions with the analysis of local discourses and their historical change. The theoretical sampling of cases will be guided among others by disputes or tensions between different groupings (including historical generations and generational units) that are related to diverse or conflicting interpretations of e.g. the transition from rebel- fighter to civilian and from adolescence to adulthood We envisage comparisons to the findings of our previous project on the post-conflict process in the adjacent West Nile region of northern Uganda. Thereby we hope to help improving practical efforts as well as methods of research and counseling in the context of the (re-)integration of former child soldiers or abductees into civilian life.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Gabriele Rosenthal - Coordenador / Dieter Neubert - Integrante / Artur Bogner - Integrante / Katharina Teutenberg - Integrante / Josephine Schmiereck - Integrante., Financiador(es): Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft - Auxílio financeiro.

  Belonging to the Outsider and Established Groupings: Palestinians and Israelis in Various Figurations, Descrição: Principal investigators: Prof. Dr. Gabriele Rosenthal, Prof. Shifra Sagy & Prof. Mohammed S. Dajani Daoudi. In the historical context of Israelis and Palestinians, the same individuals often interact in a number of social and local contexts as members of groupings of ethno-political or religious outsiders and in other contexts as members of established groupings. For example: a Christian Palestinian Israeli who lives in a village in Israel with a Christian Palestinian majority is a member of the minority of non-Jews when she is interacting with a Jewish Israeli in all social settings in Israel. But in her village, when interacting with a Muslim, she is a member of the village majority. However, in another local context in Israel with a majority of Muslims, she is a member of the Christian minority within the grouping of Palestinian Israelis, which is again a minority among the citizens of Israel. In the West Bank, she would be a member of a minority within the grouping of Palestinians who constitute the majority of the citizens in the West Bank. Such a list could be extended further (e.g. Bedouins, the Druze community and the various Christian and Islamic denominations) and this reveals the complexity of the relations of interaction within this field of research. In addition, the research statement will question the influence different and multiple memberships in various pairs of established-outsider figurations have on the structures of social interaction between minority and majority members. Therefore, we aim at a careful and sensitive analysis of the everyday dimension of social and political conflicts in the Middle East ? which also does justice to individual cases. The project will focus on subjective perspectives and biographies of individual agents. This offers a chance to reveal possibilities of conflict resolution and conflict transformation in an everyday context and from the subjective perspectives of the individuals involved.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Gabriele Rosenthal - Coordenador / Nicole Witte - Integrante / Shifra Sagy - Integrante / Mohammed S.

  Collective myths and their transgenerational impacts, Descrição: This study deals with the family histories and life stories of three generations of ethnic German migrants from the former Soviet Union and their family members, who live in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and in the Ukraine. It examines the factual interdependence between the collective and family histories as well as its possible consequences regarding their past, present and future lives. Biographical and family interviews are conducted in order to examine the transgenerational effects of their collective and family history on their present lives. Furthermore, this study will look into the question how the younger immigrants (up to 20 years of age) come to terms with not only their migration as such, but also with the ever-changing reconstructions of the collective and family histories which are often observed amongst them. Moreover, it is being examined if the visible difficulties of integration and building of ?ethnic counterworlds? within this generation is due to the transgenerational effects of the past. A contribution will also be made in the form of an analysis of the collective we-images and the images created by others in the context of their biographical development, reproduction and transformations. A pilot study has elucidated the important function of the construction of a collective history for the definition of ?belonging? which is not a feature of the communicative memory. Research on this empirical finding will continue. The interviews conducted so far show a conspicuous emphasis being placed on the construction of ethnic belonging, be it Russian or German. Besides this, a strong emphasis is also being placed on ?masculinity? and ?femininity?. In the course of future research, it would be necessary to pursue the question as to what effect such an emphasis of ?natural capital? will have on the biographers.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Gabriele Rosenthal - Coordenador / Viola Stephan - Integrante / Sonja Owusu Boakye - Integrante / Niklas Radenbach - Integrante.

  Biography and Ethnicity: Development and changes of the sense of socio-cultural belonging in migrant populations in the US and Germany, Descrição: The central research question of this project is: Which different kinds of senses of belonging develop in which biographical and social constellations and how do these constructions change in the course of the life. Furthermore, how are they connected to other categories of differentiation, such as gender, race and class? The comparative study took place in different social contexts in South Florida and Germany and deal with biographical processes of change in the shifting sense of belonging to a socio-cultural collectivity. The research is mainly based on biographical interviews, however, ethnographical observations and videotaping were also conducted in different milieus of migrants. The study is primarily concerned with the reconstruction of the constitutive factors of the senses of belonging and their transformations, depending on the situational and social context in two very different host countries, as well as the very different conditions for entry and the right of permanent residence for different migrant populations. In South Florida we conducted interviews with migrants from Haiti, Cuba and Guatemala. In Germany we interviewed migrants from Cuba, the former Soviet Union, Southeast Europe, Iran, Turkey, Sierra Leone and Ghana. Due to this research project we aim to establish an empirical-theoretical contribution to a grounded conception of an ethnic sense of belonging in the biographical context of development, reproduction and transformation of belonging and likewise to the social processes that lead to the forming of both ethnic differentiation and solidarity. Within the frame of her habilitation project Dr. Michaela Köttig will conduct a contrastive comparison between the migration from Cuba towards South Florida and the migration from Cuba towards Germany. Her habilitation thesis will deal with a reconstruction of the establishment of the migrants in different host settings.
