Biographies of Outsiders and Outsider Groupings

Tuesday, 12 July 2016: 14:15-15:45
Location: Seminarraum Geschichte 1 (Main Building)
RC38 Biography and Society (host committee)

Language: English

The life stories and histories of outsiders and outsider groupings in societies – such as certain religious, migrant or gender groupings – give us insight into the voices of people which are subdued in public or hegemonic discourses, into the politics of storytelling and the power relations in specific historical and socio-political contexts. With these biographies we are furthermore able to look into the figurations of these outsiders and the established groupings in a society and the specific (often violent and intersectional) processes constructing outsider positions within asymmetrical power balances. 
We invite papers that consider the biographies of outsiders and discuss their experiences and positions in their societies in their interrelation with the other groupings.
