The workshop “Transcultural Europe Narrated: Testimonies, Interviews, Life Narratives“ aims to confront the different functions that migrants’ stories can play in human, social and political sciences. While individual trajectories are subjected to objectifying categories in public discourse, researchers are increasingly interested in testimonies provided by the actors involved and their capacity to share their stories. What functions do such self-narratives serve? What pitfalls should researchers in the humanities and social sciences avoid when they rely on these accounts? The workshop is organized within the framework of the Jean Monnet Project Transcultural Europe in the Global World.
