Migration and Refugees Today:<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

Giving History Its Place In Debates And Research<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

The striking rise in the arrivals of refugees and migrants in 2015 shed light on many shortcomings in offering a shared vision of the right of asylum in Europe. If Europe has a longstanding and rich history of migration that has contributed to shape the continent, the memory of this history is hardly ever mentioned in the debates concerning asylum and migration today.<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

We can observe at least three ways in which history tend to “disappear” in the actual debates concerning refugees in Europe:<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

1.the past is either absent because it is unknown (so it looks as if we have never dealt with refugees before…); <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

2.actual developments are put in a \u201cquasi-historical\u201d perspective, by claiming that certain countries have always known those and those policies (for example \u201ctolerance\u201d in the Netherlands since Spinoza, or \u201casylum\u201d in France since the French Revolution, etc.), resulting in a rather static and a-historical picture as well; <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

3.migrants are urged to leave history home.<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

The conference will look into ways to \u201cdo justice\u201d to history in political and scientific debates, from a cross-national comparative perspective with contributions on the situation of Britain, France, Greece, and Hungary.<\/font><\/p>\n
