Abstract: Since at least the long sum­mer of migra­tion in 2015 rep­re­sen­ta­tions of migrants and refugees as trau­ma­tized mass­es have been omnipresent in Euro­pean media and pol­i­tics. They raise nar­ra­tives and dis­cours­es of migrants and refugees as vic­tims in need of help and mobi­lized the com­pas­sion and sol­i­dar­i­ty of a revi­tal­ized civ­il soci­ety. This round­table dis­cus­sion aims to close­ly exam­ine the mul­ti­ple dimen­sions that the asso­ci­a­tion of (forced) migra­tion with trau­ma entails. Bring­ing togeth­er social and cul­tur­al anthro­pol­o­gists with aca­d­e­m­ic and prac­tice psy­chol­o­gists it opens up the ques­tion whether trau­ma as a notion and ana­lyt­i­cal con­cept is suit­able in the field of glob­al migra­tion to include his­tor­i­cal and social con­texts, describe indi­vid­ual expe­ri­ences and agency or cap­ture col­lec­tive memories.

The pub­lic round­table is part of the work­shop „Beyond Vic­tim­hood and Stigma­ti­za­tion: Trau­ma, Rup­tured Mem­o­ries and Agency in the Con­text of Glob­al Migration”.
