“…Hence, postmigration is a way of describing a condition, but it also indicates an analytical approach. In Ring Petersen's account (Ring Petersen et al 2019b) academics apply the concept to avoid what, for example, Römhild (2017) has termed 'migrantology,' that is, research on integration that takes its point of departure in an implicit notion of homogenous collectives defined by the absence or presence of a history of migration. In that case diversity (and especially cultural, ethnic, and religious differences) becomes a category of exception and not a constitutive part of society.…”

“…As Ring Petersen et al (2019aPetersen et al ( , 2019bPetersen et al ( , 2019c have shown, a postmigration society is rift with negotiations, antagonism, and ambivalence, and in this case, it is a tension between a dominant discourse of (failed) integration (which the office has as its objective to help resolve) and a post-Otherness social practice. This brings us back to the notion of post-Otherness practices as criticisms of the dominant discourse.…”

Using empirical data from fieldwork conducted at a city office in Sweden, the article reflects on how the staff contextualise diversity in such a way that allows them to seamlessly fade in and out between making cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity relevant and irrelevant. Using the concepts of post-Otherness and postmigration, I argue that categories built around ethnic, religious, and cultural stereotypes were made irrelevant by the staff in the office context, while still being significant to them to understand and define society outside the office.

“…The concept has been developed in Germany primarily through artist-led activities and discussions between 2004 and 2008, especially around the Ballhaus Naunynstrasse, whose success has influenced academic reception and policymaking to the point that it has become mainstream.

Exiled lives on the stage: Support networks and programs for artists at risk from Turkey in Germany

This article analyses the support and self-care strategies of artists from Turkey who have left their country from considerable risk regarding their country’s political and economic instability since 2013 and have relocated to Germany. It maps the support networks, programs and institutions as well as consider questions of sustainability and risk (self-) assessment. The study is based on interviews with Turkish and Kurdish artists in Germany and an analysis of the activities by the Maxim Gorki Theater, Apartment Projekt, bi’bak, Hafiza Merkezi Berlin, as well as support systems like artistic research fellowships, art residencies, artist networks and supportive theatres. The guiding questions of this study examine the longer-term orientation of the support of artists at risk. The findings show three deficiencies. Despite the variety of available support systems, artists who left Turkey experience difficulties integrating in the artistic labour market. The output-oriented, meritocratic basis on which programs select candidates often fail to help artists in a holistic way. The intergenerational disparity in the migrant communities create the infrastructures, solidarity discourses and networks for newly arriving artists, but also creates ideological tensions which limits inter-communitarian solidarity. Specific self-organized programs extend the solidarity to artists from other affected regions, which limits chances to support artists at risk from Turkey. There are generational disadvantages of newcomers in an overburdened, professionalized independent art scene that has struggled to break free from the social work and socio-cultural stigmas. The latter masks artists with a non-German background from positive discrimination initiatives. The study proposes improvement in support systems through a coordinated effort, encourages to relieve programs from a need for identity representation as an expectation or requirement, and advises a shift in support systems from output orientation towards enhancement of individuals through self-care, for greater autonomy and self-development in their art practices and new life.

Cultural Change in Post-Migrant Societies: Re-imagining Communities Through Arts and Cultural Activities

Where do we stand between the exclusion of migrants as others from national narratives and traditions invented in the nineteenth century and the emergence of new narratives that include them and enable their social, political and cultural participation? This is what we discuss under the label cultural change in this volume, Cultural change in post-migrant societies: Re-imagining communities through arts and cultural activities. Since history has shown that arts and cultural activities have the potential to effectuate cultural change, we focus on the question of whether and how far they contribute to such a change in post-migrant societies. In the introduction, I explain the theme and objective of the present volume. Subsequently, I place it in the wider debate on social and cultural change in migration and cultural studies. I then explain in more detail where and how this volume moves beyond the state-of-the-art. Finally, I discuss our results in the light of recent changes in migration studies.
