BA (MA) Sachbereichs-/Regionalübung: Moving Bodies, Things, and Others Across Borders: Transregional Perspectives from The Middle East |
| Description |

In this course, drawing on ethnographic studies, we explore the world through the lens of different mobility practices, focusing on the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) region. The MENA region has historically lent itself to studies that challenge an understanding of geographical, political, and cultural boundaries as bounding spaces. We aim to deepen our understanding of how global forces interact with local dynamics by closely reading the cross-border mobilities of migrants, commodities, currencies, corpses, patients , and more in and beyond the MENA region. Block 1 focuses on theoretical notes and methodological points in studying the world in motion. Block 2 focuses on the mobility practices mentioned above to see what the movement of bodies, things, and others in the MENA region and beyond can tell us about the world we live in. This “mobility lens” takes us from migrant crossing routes in the Mediterranean to patients moving between Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq to receive care and treatment, from remittances sent from the United Arab Emirates to India to the gold bars smuggled between Turkey and Iran; from the Palestinian commuters’ bodily experience of checkpoints to the Iranian women’s trips to Syria for cultivating Islamic subjectivities, smuggling tea, cigarettes, and sugar cubes and buying Turkish kitchen appliances and glassware merchandise or Syrian lingerie; and from the displaced Syrians’ quest for moving of deceased bodies for proper burials to Kurdish men and women carrying loads of contraband commodities on their backs for a living. |
