ZiF Research Group 2023/24: Internalizing Borders: The Social and Normative Consequences of the European Border RegimeConvenors: Frank Wolff (Osnabrück, GER), Dana Schmalz (Heidelberg/Jena, GER), Sabine Hess (Göttingen, GER), Volker M. Heins (Duisburg-Essen, GER) European borders are becoming both ubiquitous and openly violent. As border violence reportedly abounds, it becomes evident—in Europe particularly—that the new border policies conflict with liberal norms, international law and humanitarian values which constitute the historical and normative bases of the democratic nation state and the process of European unification itself. Against this backdrop, the proposed research group will explore the normative and social consequences of the fortification and closing of borders for the states and societies engaged in these processes.

Russia’s nationalities policy and the country’s central Asian residents’ identity-based activitiesby: Mark E. Simon, Nadezhda Kokoeva & Yury Slinko Abstract: As applied to the Russian case, identity politics means first and foremost a state strategy that regulates the public expressions of ethnicity-based solidarity in a way that prevents them from being motivated by a sense of injustice. With regard to Russia’s Central Asian residents, injustice lies in tacit racist treatment by officials, police officers, employers and landlords. The peculiarity of officially recognised Central Asian organisations operating on the basis of state nationalities policy institutions is that they contribute to maintaining the status quo. They do so through orchestrating cultural activities that reproduce stereotypical images of harmonious ethnic diversity in Russia, as well as by supervising labour migrants. However, there are members in these organisations who do manage to use the resources of Russia’s rather idiosyncratic nationalities policy to fulfil their own aspirations, i.e. to practice identity politics for which the policy is not intended.

MPI-MMG in Dialogue: Navigating a Political Minefield? Researching Muslim-Jewish Encounters13.10.2022, 17:00 - 18:30 (CET)
MPI-MMG, Hermann Föge Weg 11, Göttingen, Hybrid event: Livestream/ Live Abstract: Researching everyday Muslim and Jewish lives is politically sensitive. In Germany, public comments on Jewish issues and Muslim-Jewish relations are made under the watchful eyes of an audience determined to attack any sign of antisemitism. By contrast, research on Muslim issues and Jewish-Muslim relations in France is politically risky as researchers have been accused of Islamist sympathies. How do such realities impact on research? How can researchers navigate such a political minefield, and does such sensitivity to the political nature of the subject come into conflict with doing rigorous academic research? At this In Dialogue event, Dekel Peretz and Sami Everett, both involved in a current project of this institute on “Muslim-Jewish encounter, diversity & distance in urban Europe“ discuss their experiences alongside Nonna Mayer, Professor of Sociology at Sciences Po Paris and renown expert of extreme right and racist movements, and Riem Spielhaus, Professor of Islamic Studies in Göttingen and much-cited expert on Muslim life in Germany.
