Agonistic Engagement in post-migrant Societies

01/01/2018 to 31/12/2020

By analyzing protest events from 2010 to date from political, media, and spatial perspectives, the proposed project will offer a critical assessment of the current actions associated with transborder refuge seeking in public spaces, in Israel as well as in Germany. Using the methodological approach of Protest Event Analysis (PEA) we developed a crossnational analytical framework to explore contentious politics. The project addresses four key questions: What stimulates the protest? What are the spatial/political/social/media manifestations of protests? What are the dynamics and political rationalities linked to such protests? What practices does the nation state use to control protest and conflict?
