This panel event draws on a Special Issue published by Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power: Investigating Social Change: 'Migratory Stratifications' as a Fresh Analytical Tool, Vol 32 No 6.
Migrations serve as both a driving force and a reflection of profound social, cultural, economic, demographic and territorial transformations. They interact with global phenomena – of which they are an integral part – while simultaneously being shaped by them, exerting a significant impact on national and local contexts. At the same time, migrations constitute a social fact, in which the entirety of human practice and experience is involved in a relationship of interdependence. This interplay unfolds within and across the social, economic, political, cultural and religious spheres, worldviews and symbolic representations. Building on these premises and adopting a diachronic perspective, the panel will discuss how migratory phenomena actively reshape societies of origin, destination and transit, and analyse the stratification of different migratory epochs – shaped by shifting global and local dynamics – through their incorporation into material artefacts and socio-cultural practices.
