The Department for Globalisation and Governance Research at the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) has the pleasure of inviting you to a seminar with Dr. David J. Kyle, Dept. of Sociology, University of California at Davis, who will be speaking onWhen the Music Stops: The Post-Transnational Migration Reality of Three Andean CommunitiesTuesday, 22 June 2004, 14.00-16.00 Danish Institute for International Studies Main Auditorium, Pakhuset Strandgade 71, 1401 Copenhagen K AbstractThe presentation examines three post-transnational migration communities clustered near the city of Cuenca, Ecuador, each grappling with the end of transnational migration, which had risen and fallen during the 1980s and 1990s. Since the late 1990s, all three have seen the end of one kind of migration pattern and the beginning of a new one. Remarkably, the aftermath in each has taken quite different paths, though they are all located within a 50-kilometer radius. My collaborator (Brad Jokisch) and I describe and discuss the socio-cultural implications of the latter two patterns discussed above; the communities of Tomebamba and Biblicay represent a "ghost town" pattern, while the community of Huizhil characterizes a "phoenix" pattern. The seminar will be followed by a short reception. Participation is free of charge, but registration is required by e-mail to Ane Toubro (ato@diis.dk), ph. 3269 8631, no later than 21 June 2004 at 12.00 noon. The seminar is part of the ‘Diaspora Development and Conflict’ Research Programme which is funded by the Danish Social Science Council (SSF). |
