Remembering Gastarbeiters in the Neoliberal Age Event

Freitag, 6. und Samstag, 7. Oktober 2017
Conference

Today?s so-called migrant ?crisis? has not only seriously shaken the existing order, it has exposed links between current and historical forms of oppression and exclusion. The old figure of the Gastarbeiter exists at the very core of a hidden genea logy of today?s ?crisis? – making it necessary to disclose this genealogy across old and new ideological divides and political interests, and to thus reconnect our present with the past in order to not only understand the current ?crisis? but to open the prospect of a new, different future.
