[ecrea] CFP -- Atlas of Transitions and Open Migration

CALL for PAPERS -- for /Atlas of Transitions' /and/Open 
Migration'/s//web platforms,
in collaboration with the **Department of Sociology and Business Law* 
<http://www.sde.unibo.it/it>***of the University of Bologna, Italy

/Atlas of Transitions – New Geographies for a Cross-Cultural 
Europe/(http://www.atlasoftransitions.eu/) is an international 
cooperation project that promotes the active participation of migrants 
and local communities in the production of collective artistic works in 
seven European countries: Italy, Albania, Belgium, Poland, France, 
Greece, and Sweden. During the three years of /Atlas of Transitions/ 
(2017-2020), each of the countries involved becomes the site for the 
design and exchange of artistic practices (including workshops, urban 
mapping, video installations, and documentary theatre) as well as 
academic research. The project in fact supports the joint action of 
cultural organisations and academic partners, which are organised as a 
European University Network coordinated by the **Department of Sociology 
and Business Law* <http://www.sde.unibo.it/it>***of the**University of 
Bologna, Italy.

Throughout the three years of the project, the /Atlas of Transitions' 
/web platform 
(http://www.atlasoftransitions.eu/<http://www.atlasoftransitions.eu/>) 
will collect and disseminate materials about artistic activities and 
productions as well as academic works and analyses of the creative 
processes and techniques employed to create intercultural meeting spaces 
and facilitate the inclusion of migrants and refugees in everyday social 
life. The material will be free to download here: 
http://www.atlasoftransitions.eu/research/.

With the aim to broaden the exchange and dissemination of knowledge 
about the function of the arts, and theatre in particular, in migrant 
inclusion-related processes, we are interested in investigating the 
different approaches proposed by both scholars and practitioners. The 
themes of analysis that we would like to explore are, although not 
limited to, those suggested below:

- Artistic performance – e.g. body techniques and perception of space 
for artists with different cultural backgrounds;

- Working practices in multicultural productions – e.g. solidarity 
within diverse societal contexts;

- Theatre and theatrical activity as metaphors for daily life in 
different frameworks and societies;

- Theatre for development and social change – e.g. social drama, 
community empowerment, promotion of human rights;

- Collective productions as expressions of cultural heritage and 
community memory;

- Music theatre and dance as links between different cultural identities;

- Audience reception of creative multicultural productions.


We invite proposals for and submission of 1,000 word essays, accompanied 
by 1-2 pictures representing artistic activities and/or artefacts, to be 
published on both the websites of /Atlas of Transitions/ and /Open 
Migration/ (http://openmigration.org/). Please, send your contents to 
Pierluigi Musarò ((pierluigi.musaro /at/ unibo.it)), Associate Professor of 
Sociology at the University of Bologna 
(https://www.unibo.it/sitoweb/pierluigi.musaro/en), and Francesca Di 
Renzo, PhD, website editor of /Atlas of Transitions/ 
((francesca /at/ atlasoftransitions.eu)).
