The course will explore how European reformations and centralizing states made people migrant and how exiles coped with the status of newcomers to their host societies. We will look at various strategies and roles of people on the move and deal with the problem how to trace people in motion. What regions and when were open to refugees? What analytical concepts are particularly useful (diaspora, displacement, „regimes“ of migration, ) and how can comparative perspective help us to furmulate new questions? The main emphasis will be on reading and discussing texts. The course will be taught in blocs in April and May.
