Chair of the Panel “Internment Camps in the Caribbean during World War II” (original) (raw)

Abstract

Annual Conference of the Austrian Association for Exile Research in cooperation with the Department for Contemporary History and the Faculty of Social Sciences (both University of Vienna); Vienna, December 2-4, 2020. The conference aims to facilitate an extensive engagement with the organized, state-led, and forced placement of refugees in both the past and present. The emphasis will be on a comparative perspective – synchronic as well as diachronic. One of the key aims of the conference is to make visible the parallels and differences between the practices and types of internment in different countries – while considering the specific historical contexts. Another important focus will be the nexus of relationships and agencies which constitute the camps in question as transitory spaces. The contributions consist of analyses of local phenomena or case studies as well as comparative engagements from an international or historical perspective
