Trayectorias y jornadas: Transnacionalismo en acción

Author(s): / Language(s): Spanish

Keywords: International migration; The migration; international; analysis; identity; transnationalism;

La migración internacional no es nueva, pues ha ocurrido desde hace milenios; su análisis académico tampoco es reciente y sin embargo, las reflexiones actuales en torno a ésta siguen siendo relevantes. Lo que dota de importancia y actualidad a la movilidad humana, no son únicamente los nuevos escenarios bajo los que las personas migran, sino también las miradas refinadas de investigadores que comparten sus hallazgos de manera original, aplicando nuevas metodologías a nuevos sujetos de estudio, y cuyas investigaciones despiertan nuevas reflexiones en los lectores. A partir de un abordaje novedoso, los autores de este volumen nos muestran actores, relaciones, espacios, colectividades y problemáticas que no se habían detectado antes o bien, que dadas las circunstancias recientes, necesitan repensarse.

Yirmi birinci yüzyıl ile birlikte ivme kazanan NBIC (nanoteknoloji, biyoteknoloji, enformasyon teknolojileri ve bilişim bilim) teknolojileri alışılageldik kavramlar üzerinden yapılan geleneksel insan tanımlarını ve insana yüklediğimiz değerleri değiştirmektedir. İnsanın ve doğanın ‘doğasını’ değiştirmenin eşiğinde olan kök hücre araştırmaları, yeniden üreme biyoteknolojileri, sentetik biyoloji, insan genom ve gen-tasarım teknolojilerinden, klonlama teknolojileri, türler arası organ nakil teknolojileri ve suni hayat ve yapay yaşam ortamlarına kadar birçok biyomedikal, biyoteknolojik ve sibernetik buluş yeni bir dönüm noktasını ya da insanlık tarihinde yeni bir kırılmayı işaret etmektedir. Söz konusu gelişmelere eşlik eden düşünsel değişimler ise insana ve doğaya dair genel geçer ve asla değişmez diye adlandırdığımız temel kategorileri sorgulayarak dönüşümün gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır. Posthümanizm bu dönüşümlerin bir yansıması olarak, geçmiş, bugün ve gelecek arasındaki bağları irdeler; bu bağlamda da insan, insan-ötesi/ üstü/sonrası/dışı/ alternatif senaryolar üretir/sunar. Bütün bu gelişmeleri ve dönüşümleri ele almayı amaçlayan Posthümanizm Serisi’nin ilk kitabı olan Edebiyatta Posthümanizm, Batı toplumlarını ideolojisini ve zihniyetini yüzyıllardır besleyen insanı evrenin merkezi kabul eden anlayış biçiminin vuku bulduğu insan/doğa, insan/insan-olmayan gibi ikili düşünce sistemini kökten çökerten posthümanizm kuramlar bütününün edebi yazında nasıl kavramsallaştırıldığını sorgulamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, bu kitap Posthümanizm ve Edebiyat ilişkisini derinlemesine inceleyen farklı coğrafyalarda ve farklı dönemlerde yazılmış çeşitli Osmanlı-Türk ve Batı edebiyatlarından örnekleri posthümanist kuramsal yaklaşımlar çerçevesinde analiz ederek insan ötesi yaşam türlerinin edebiyattaki yansımalarını tartışır. Seçilen eserlerde posthümanizmin feminizm, ekoeleştiri, biyopolitika ve transhümanizm gibi kuramlarla birbirlerine katkısı doğrultusunda yakından ilişkisi incelenmektedir.

Experiencing Ruptures in Migration. The Ordinary and Unexpected Journeys of Global Migrants

Experiencing Ruptures in Migration. The Ordinary and Unexpected Journeys of Global Migrants

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Migration Series; Agency; asylum seekers; borders; California; challenges; Chinese migrants; France; high skilled; Iraq; irregular migration; Lebanon; Mexico; migratory experiences; Morocco; Syria; young migrants; youth;

This book aims to portray migratory experiences, documented in the form of biographical narratives. We are interested in the dynamic aspect of migration, which effectively becomes a complex trajectory, made up of stages, returns, and circulations and no longer simply, as in the industrial era, a bipolar exile (there and here). In these complex and dynamic movements, many trajectories become bifurcations, by which we mean shifting fates. In these stories we found paths, events, and bifurcations, all combined together, in terms of biographical construction based on accumulated experiences. These narratives are both very banal and very unusual journeys, portraying a new international human globalization. They are simultaneously stories of barriers to be crossed in chaotic situations interspersed with peaceful events in quiet contexts. These journeys reveal not only the weight of migration policies, but also the certification policies implemented and developed by various countries.This book presents itineraries, social logics of mobility; the routes become the analysts. If statistics record regularities, the personal approach captures specificities that produce meaning and contribute to a reinterpretation of current forms of mobility.

Çokdisiplinli Çalışmalarda Posthümanizm, tüm bilimsel ve teknolojik gelişme ve dönüşümleri ele almayı hedeflemekte, posthümanist teorilerin çokludisiplinli çalışmalarda nasıl kavramsallaştırıldığını insanı evrenin merkezine koyan Batı toplumlarının yüzyıllardır ideolojisini ve zihniyetini besleyen insan/doğa, insan/insan olmayan ikili düşüncesini kökten sorgulayarak incelemektedir. Bu bağlamda bu kitap, posthümanizm ile çeşitli farklı disiplinler arasındaki ilişkiyi posthümanist kuramsal yaklaşımlar çerçevesinde derinlemesine incelerken, posthüman yaşam tarzlarının yansımalarını çok disiplinli çalışmalarda tartışmaktadır. Bu tür seçilmiş çalışmalarda posthümanizmin feminizm, ekoeleştiri, biyopolitika ve transhümanizm gibi kuramlarla ve sinema, performans dansları, biyo-sanat, felsefe, mühendislik, uluslararası ilişkiler, siyaset gibi disiplinlerle olan yakın ilişkisi, bu kuramlara katkıları ve bu kuramların posthümanist kuramlardan nasıl beslendiği doğrultusunda incelenmektedir. Posthümanist bakış açısının, insanın artık istisnai bir varlık olarak değil, gezegeni paylaştığı diğer türlerle doğup ortaya çıkan ve gelişen bir “birlik” olarak gördüğü yaşadığımız dünyayı nasıl açıkladığı ve algıladığı bu disiplinlerle sorgulanmaktadır. Kitap, tekno-bilimsel kültürlerin çoğaldığı, küresel ekonomik zorlukların, çevresel yıkımın ve doğal afetlerin arttığı, dijitalleşmenin yaygınlaştığı dünyaya, insanlık ve insan dışı varlıklar için nasıl bir yaşam ve düzen sunduğu sorularına yanıt arar. İnsan ve insan olmayan varlıklar arasındaki geleneksel sınırlar, teknolojik, biyolojik ve çevresel düzeylerde aşınır ve bulanıklaşır. Bu yeni oluşumda alternatif fikir ve düşüncelerin sunulmasında çokdisiplinli çalışmaların katkısını inceleyen bu serinin ikinci kitabı, okuyucuya insanın değişen dünyasını ve diğer canlı ve cansız varlıklar arasındaki ilişkiyi anlaması için farklı çalışmalar aracılığıyla yeni kapılar açmaktadır.

Religion, Religious Groups and Migration

Religion, Religious Groups and Migration

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Migration Series; Alevis; Austria; Christians; diaspora; integration; migration; religion; religious groups; Sunnis; Turks

The relationship between religion, religious groups, and migration is an important topic of recent social science debate. Migration affects all aspects of the lives of those who have left their homes, including facets characterized as religious. Religion and religious identity are linked to social, cultural, and political issues, including integration, identity negotiation, diasporic community formation, interreligious dialogue, and religious pluralism. On the one hand, migration can change religious cultures, rituals, and traditions through the experience of mobility and the response of the host country. On the other hand, religious groups can encourage migration. In this context, new forms of transnational interaction and organization have emerged that contribute to the reformulation of community and identity. In some cases, such changes can lead to new conflicts and even trigger religious radicalization. This edited book consists of essays that bring together various perspectives on religious groups and their migration processes in different geographical regions. The aim is to empirically analyze the discourse and practices of national and transnational religious groups while investigating the relationship of religion and migration to political, historical, cultural, and social transitions. The book brings together academics and practitioners from different countries through interdisciplinary approaches that will be of interest to a wide readership of scholars and practitioners.

Shades of Violence: Multidisciplinary Reflections on Violence in Literature, Culture and Arts

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Posthumanism Series; Türkçe Seri; arts; culture; gender; literature; racism; Representations; Violence;

“Shades of Violence: Multidisciplinary Reflections on Violence in Literature, Culture, and Arts” explores the tapestry of violence across diverse forms of artistic expression, expertly edited by Sümeyra Buran, Mahinur Akşehir, Neslihan Köroğlu, and Barış Ağır. From the gripping introduction to the thought-provoking chapters contributed by an array of scholars, this collection navigates the multifaceted dimensions of violence. Muhsin Yanar’s exploration of Don DeLillo’s work calls for a posthumanist stance against violence, while Begüm Tuğlu Atamer questions the justification of violence in Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus.” The anthology expands its reach, examining slow violence in John Burnside’s “Glister” (Derya Biderci Dinç), portraying environmental violence in Bilge Karasu’s “Hurt Me Not” (Özlem Akyol), and unraveling psychological violence in Kate Chopin’s stories (Senem Üstün Kaya). Contributors delve into theatre violence (Gamze Şentürk Tatar), indigenous struggles against violence in Cheran, Mexico (Kristy L. Masten), Robert Browning’s “Porphyria’s Lover” (Derya Oruç) and the complex interplay of power in Anthony Burgess’s “A Clockwork Orange” (Şebnem Düzgün). The anthology also explores the contested space of the Black queer body (Taylor Ajowele Duckett), Nietzschean aggression (Yunus Tuncel), and various forms of violence in Giovanni Verga’s short stories (Simone Pettine). “Shades of Violence” emerges as an indispensable exploration of violence’s nuanced manifestations, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding through its diverse and insightful perspectives.

Druidism, Tengrism, Taaraism: Current Reactivations of Ancient Spiritualities and Religions, From Identity to Politics

Druidism, Tengrism, Taaraism: Current Reactivations of Ancient Spiritualities and Religions, From Identity to Politics

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: International Relations; Religion and International Relations; druidism; international relations; neoreligion; religion, spirituality; taaraism; Tengrism

“In this book, we have named the phenomena neoreligion and reactivation. Neoreligion does not mean a change inside institutionalised religion, it does not correspond to some kind of dogmatic creative crisis, which would bring established religious groups to claim to create something new while only dusting out ancient components of their religion. It is not to confuse, either, with some kind of religious nostalgia, a desire to return to the origins or foundations of a religion. Such a dynamic can be observed with the born-again phenomena – obvious in the spheres of monotheistic religions – that is individual religious revivalism of people who are often searching for a supposedly original orthodoxy.Neoreligion, on the contrary, is the phenomenon where, outside existing religions, new religions are created, but not from nothing: they are reactivated in a new form. They take their roots – or at least claim to do so – in traditional or ancient beliefs and adopt some of the imagined traditional behaviours. The movement, therefore, is one of transformation, since it is a takeover of the old. But this change does not simply follow the logic of the old: there is also a dimension of novelty, of creation.This volume is dedicated to studying these phenomena: describing and analysing their various appearances, uncovering their logic and dynamics, shedding light on the motivations of followers, and discussing their consequences.”

“The silence was not just about thinking on this topic. They reached the end of the tunnel. Due to the curve they were taking, they still could not see the horizon. It must have been around nine in the morning. The sun’s rays were coming in at such a zenith angle.As they rounded the curve, the view they had been dreaming of for a long time opened up before them. The summit of a mountain which was steeper towards the top was snow-covered. Around this summit, when its size was considered in proportion to the mountain, a snake coiled, at least fifty meters wide and about a kilometer long. Its head, at the same level as the rising sun, moved ever so slightly. Its jet-black eyes could be viewed even from this distance. It had many bright, but faint, colors. Due to this, the contrast it did with the grayish-brown rocks of the mountain was weak. Its jagged tail stretched all the way down to the broad upper plain of the mountain. There was nothing at the summit of the much lower mountain on the right side. The view was perfect as the sky was cloudless and the weather was clear.”

Arctic 8 Policy: Reassessing International Relations

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: International Relations; Policy Series; Arctic policy; Arctic politics; Canada; Denmark; Energy in the Arctic; Iceland; international relations; Norway; Russia; USA

The Arctic is a harsh geography that has historically been misconceived as a large ice mass, ignoring the complex strategic salience of the region. Its cold waters and frozen lands have attracted the attention of people for many years and have been the centre of discoveries and adventures. Today, however, the strategic importance of the Arctic has gone beyond discoveries and adventures. Factors, such as environmental erosion, climate change, and national or regional security complicate geopolitical dynamics in the region.This book begins by delving into the issues that have led Arctic countries to reorient their foreign policies. The geopolitical structure of the Arctic, the expansion of NATO, the emergence of new energy reserves, and the impact of climate change on the Arctic are some of the factors directly affecting the region. Then, within the framework of these influences, the policies of the eight Arctic countries are re-assessed from the perspective of international relations.This volume not only emphasises the geopolitical and strategic importance of the Arctic region, but also discusses conflicts of interest, international cooperation efforts, and possible future scenarios. The Arctic is not just a geography, but also an important part of global politics and security. This book is a guide to understanding the complex and dynamic nature of the Arctic region.

The migrations from Mexico and Central America and the challenge of public policies and international cooperation in the 21st century.

Las migraciones de México y Centroamérica Reto a las políticas públicas y la cooperación internacional en el Siglo XXI.

Author(s): Rodolfo García Zamora,Selene Gaspar Olvera / Language(s): Spanish

Keywords: migration; Mexico; economic development; civil society;

In the year 2024, presidential elections in the United States and Mexico coincide, with migration emerging as a central issue. While in the United States, proposals for stricter border control, refusal to regularize 12 million undocumented migrants, dismantling of the asylum system, and mass deportations are being debated, Mexico continues to exclude migrants from its national agenda. Over the past four decades, migrants in Mexico and the region have been marginalized, with migration policies primarily focused on containment and deportation.This book delves into the asymmetry between the importance of migration in Mexico, Central America, and the Southern Cone, and the lack of institutional foresight in Mexico to address comprehensive migration policies. It examines the economic, social, political, and migratory impacts of the past five years, revealing how these dynamics shape regional and global migration corridors. From the challenges of economic and social crises exacerbated by COVID-19 to the emergence of transnational migration movements such as caravans, this text explores the complex realities and urgent need for transformative policies. Drawing on decades of research, the authors provide insights into the intersections of migration, economic development, and human rights, advocating for collective engagement with inclusive policies that prioritize employment, income, human security, and sustainability.Faced with unprecedented migration pressures in the region, this book serves as a call to action for policymakers, academics, and civil society to rethink migration governance and address the root causes driving global migration flows. With detailed analysis and forward-looking recommendations, it provides a roadmap for building a more equitable and humane approach to migration in Mexico and beyond.

A Hundred Years of Lausanne Violations

A Hundred Years of Lausanne Violations

Author(s): Baskın Oran,Ali Dayıoğlu / Language(s): English

Keywords: Mediterranean Politics; Aegean dispute; anti-Rum politics; geopolitical turmoil; Greece; Greek-Turkish relations; Lausanne treaty; minorities; population exchange; Turkey;

Explore the intricate historical fabric that has woven the complex relationship between Turkey and Greece along the enchanting Aegean Sea. Despite their shared geographic proximity, Greece and Turkey secured their independence in vastly different centuries, with Greece gaining sovereignty in 1830 and Turkey in 1923. Their journeys to nationhood were marred by conflicts, casting a long shadow over their subsequent interactions.Both nations, influenced by the passionate Mediterranean temperament, have engaged in a delicate dance of disputes. Their interactions have often embodied the saying “the pot calling the kettle black,” leading to a series of missteps that occasionally teetered on the brink of armed conflicts in the Aegean. In the process, the welfare of their respective minority communities was often overlooked in the name of protecting their compatriots.Turkey and Greece have resorted to the concept of “reciprocity,” despite its historical association with a cycle of transgressions. This practice, deemed incompatible with international law (as highlighted in Article 60/5 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties), further complicates their relations.This insightful book consists of two parts. The first dissects the injustices perpetrated by both nations against their minority populations, meticulously examining the relevant articles of the 1923 Lausanne Peace Treaty and other international texts to expose violations. The second part navigates the turbulent waters of Aegean conflicts, offering impartial insights and arguments, free from national bias.Embark on a journey through a century of history, geopolitics, and international law as we unravel the complexities of Turkey and Greece’s quest for understanding, reconciliation, and peace in the Aegean.

Introduction to Equity and Trusts – Revision Guide

Introduction to Equity and Trusts – Revision Guide

Author(s): Justin Brunskell / Language(s): English

Keywords: Law Series; Text books; equity; Law students; legal studies; litigation; Revision Guide; sample questions; Solicitors Qualifying Examination; trusts;

The greatest contribution to English law has been the concept of a trust and equitable ownership and while its origins date back to the Middle Ages, the use of trusts is alive and well, forming the basis of many settlements. Equity has allowed the Law (in particular Land Law) to grow and develop, providing new rights and remedies, allowing it to evolve and adapt to changing situations and new demands imposed by modern society.This has led to a debatable ‘fusion’ between the Common Law and Equity giving rise to a single coherent body of law. In reality, it is best to think of two systems or streams of law sitting side by side and giving effect to the law as it stands today. As the origin of the claim or right can affect the remedy available and through a process of evolution, some equitable principles have been absorbed into the Common Law as distinct rights. Therefore, thinking of Law and Equity as totally separate and distinct will only hinder the understanding of both, and impede the development of English Law.This book is superbly outlined with clear learning outcomes. It undoubtedly provides a practical overview of Equity and Trusts. It will be an indispensable source for law students.– Professor Özgür H. Çınar, Deputy Head of School of Law and Criminology, University of Greenwich, UK

Migration and Health Theories, Policies, and Experiences

Migration and Health Theories, Policies, and Experiences

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Migration Series; digestive pathologies; France; heatlhcare; immigration; integration; Italy; migrant health, migration; New Zealand; Pandemic; Portugal; refugee healthcare; sexual and reproductive health; Sweden; USA

This book brings together a range of contributions that analyse the links between migration and health through empirical research, in-depth policy analysis, and field experience from different parts of the world. Although each chapter has a different thematic and geographical focus, they are united by the premise that health is a fundamental human right. It is a useful guide for researchers due to its multiple dimensions in terms of both research methods and units of analysis. It can also be considered a resource for practitioners working in the field, as some contributions report on the direct experiences of health workers and analyse the challenges they face daily in accompanying migrants in health contexts. In addition, other contributions examine the importance of key figures, such as cultural and language mediators, in migrants’ access to health services, with a particular focus on the most vulnerable categories.

From the Edge of Chaos and Form

From the Edge of Chaos and Form

Author(s): Lynne Goldsmith / Language(s): English

Keywords: Fiction; Poetry; English, environment; Lynne; Goldsmith; poems; Poetry;

From the Edge of Chaos and Form takes a glimpse into the lives, imaginings, and interactions of humans, animals, and nature. The poems offer snapshots of beauty alongside more forbidding realities of our human existence on the planet, both past and present. The poems glimpse literal and metaphorical edges of change in a galaxy of spectacular structure as well as chance and random happenings beyond any human involvement. But as humans disturb and destroy–in pattern-like behavior–different forms of life, human and natural realms consequently alter. Beauty and ruin, order and chaos, control and surrender, humanity and cruelty, preservation and annihilation coexist and hold on to one another in a kind of opposition and attraction that has each side becoming like the “other” once a threshold has been crossed in what’s known in part as chaos theory. “Preface Edward Lorenz, meteorologist, professor and mathematician, discovered that seemingly insignificant motions/change can activate huge outcomes. His ‘butterfly effect’ (with the flap of a butterfly wing later causing a tornado in a distant location) illustrates the notion of chaos theory with future predictions being practically impossible and chaotic systems being non-linear, such as seen in the weather where no two weather days or snowflake designs are ever quite replicated. Emergence is a system created from the actions of individual parts that are supposedly lacking any central plan. Yet hidden within the chaos that is everywhere, surprising patterns are found.”

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Education Series; Posthumanism Series; AI in education; androids at school; anti-humanism; Humanism; posthumanist education; quantumnormalcy; transhumanism;

This collection delves into the ongoing debates spanning decades on the intricate interplay between posthumanism, the posthuman age, and education. Featuring authors from diverse backgrounds and theoretical perspectives, the chapters explore a spectrum of themes – from technophilia to technophobia, transhumanism to humanism, and Bildung tradition to new materialism – illuminating key dimensions of education in what is heralded as a new and distinct era.At the heart of these discussions is an exploration of whether this era truly marks a radical departure and how it influences educational practices. The chapters offer arguments both supporting and challenging these ideas, advocating for critical reflection and a fresh perspective on human experience and contemporary education. The collection suggests a creative and considerate approach to children’s learning and learning with children, which would not only respond to the challenges of imposed circumstances but also suggest active work on the desirable construction of new ones.
