The course is still on planning. It will be given by Juliette Cleuziou from Lyon2.
Class 1. The emergence of the the post-Soviet space as migratory hub (2h)
This course will be devoted to the understanding of migratory flows in a historical perspective since the end of the Soviet Union, knowing that Russia was, until very recently, the 3rd country of arrival of international migrations. Starting from the return of "red" migrants, people of Russian ethnicity, to Russia, to the intensification of migration flows of non-Russians from the former colonial periphery (in particular: Ukraine, the Caucasus and Central Asia), this course aims to provide an understanding of contemporary mobilities in the post-Soviet space. More recent mobilities related to the war in Ukraine will also be addressed.
Class 2. Central Asian families in a transnational setting (2h)
This course will focus on understanding the migration of Central Asian families, mainly to Russia but not only, and the formation of transnational ties between migrants and their communities back home. The emergence of migrant communities, diasporic organisations as well as the increase in the number of families permanently settling abroad contribute to changing family patterns and relationships (including gender and generational relations) in Central Asia. The focus will be on the dual constraint of care and control that binds dispersed family members in a transnational context, and how it operates in the Central Asian context.
Class 3. Gender, consumption and modernity: the evolution of gift economy in contemporary Tajikistan.
This case study on Tajikistan will serve to illustrate a phenomenon that is widespread in Central Asia, as in other parts of the world, namely the role of the gift economy in the construction of everyday sociality and community integration. While this gift economy, which requires considerable resources to operate, is often seen as compulsory, it is also locally seen as constraining and limiting. We will focus on the moral dilemmas and economic necessities that families face when organising weddings, circumcisions and other events designed to position themselves in the community and establish their prestige, sometimes at the expense of more individual investments such as education or business creation. This case study will illustrate some of the issues involved in the transition from communism to a market economy. |
