Research paper thumbnail of Brüche und Kontinuitäten im Migrationsdiskurs: Deutschland als postmigrantische Heimat?

On the basis of a Foucauldian understanding, according to which discourses have a subject-and society-constituting power, the paper first outlines the continuities and ruptures in the public perception of migration and integration. In a concluding discussion, the practices of the dominant society's »foreign« construction of migrant populations are contrasted with the functional logics of a normative interpretation of the concept of post-migrant society. The focus here is on the question of whether and to what extent it appears possible from a post-migrant discourse position to overcome previous patterns of interpretation of the »German« migration discourse or to establish an authentic counter-discourse.

For a better understanding of specific factors influencing the content and music, or path dependencies arising from them, a discourse-theoretical framework based on the work of Michel Foucault is used. The main focus of the study is on the genre of Turkish Anatolian Rock of the 1960s and 1970s, which appears as a musical reservoir of hybrid musical forms and political lyricism.

Turkish origin in Germany in the context of speculations
about deviating understandings of democracy among the
Turkish diasporas. Based on the thesis that a change in German integration discourse from measurable material achievements of the migrant community to immaterial aspects of
adaptation with regard to norms and values is taking place,
an argument for a discourse-theoretical perception of this debate is developed, whereby existing forms of the negatively
connoted foreign construction of the community of Turkish
origin are discussed.

Nevertheless, there are numerous associations representing migrants’ interests that encompass migrant organisations. This study is the first to provide an overview of migration-related associational organisations in NRW, upon which modelling of migration-related political representation is based and through which an assessment of opportunities for cooperation and prospects for funding can be made.

Im Vergleich zu anderen migrantischen Gruppen weisen Türkeistämmige zudem die längste Aufenthaltsdauer im Bundesgebiet vor. Bereits 2011 lebten knapp 65 % der Personen mit Familiengeschichte aus der Türkei seit mindestens 20 Jahren in Deutschland (Hanrath 2011: 16). Insofern verwundert es nicht, dass öffentliche Diskurse des deutschen Kontextes mit Bezug auf Türkeistämmige enge Bindungen zur allgemeinen Wahrnehmung um das Gelingen von Einwander*innenintegration aufweisen. Nachdem im Zuge der Anschläge des 11. September die Bedeutung Türkeistämmiger in diesem Kontext abzunehmen schien und zeitweise durch Diskurse um die gesellschaftliche Integration von Muslim*innen-als in erster Linie religiös definierte soziale Gruppe-überlagert wurde (Sauer/Halm 2018: 493), ist gegenwärtig zu erkennen, dass Türkeistämmige erneut in den Fokus integrationspolitischer Debatten rücken. Entgegen den Diskussionen der 80er und 90er Jahre, mit ihrer Schwerpunktsetzung auf Faktoren wie Bildung, soziale Platzierung und Kontakten zur Mehrheitsgesellschaft (Hans 2010: 153) geht es heute vermehrt um Aspekte wie grenzüberschreitende politische Orientierungen (Sauer/Halm 2018: 494),

Nevertheless, there are numerous associations representing migrants’ interests that encompass migrant organisations.

This study is the first to provide an overview of migration-related associational organisations in NRW, upon which modelling of migration-related political representation is based and through which an assessment of opportunities for cooperation and prospects for funding can be made.
