Concept Note:
Higher, faster, more expensive: At the latest since the era of the insurgent streaming wars, excess has become a leitmotif of modern television culture (cf. Maeder 2021, 11–14). As an "oversized audiovisual narrative" (Bandirali/Terrone 2021, 14), series indulge in dramatic opulence, preferably becoming entangled in a dynamic of exposed exaggeration, trying to compete not only with other shows but also with themselves (cf. Sudmann 2017). In this context, excess seems inevitably linked to the discourse of narrative quality, which increasingly demonstrates that "size matters" (Jahn-Sudmann/Kelleter 2012, 209).
Developed and promoted by the German-speaking academic community, frequently mobilized by Anglophone and Scandinavian scholars, yet less used in Francophone and Italophone research, the concept of postmigration marks a significant shift in migration discourses. By dissolving the binary opposition between migrants and non-migrants, it allows immigration to be regarded as an intrinsic component of European societies. The conference “From Experiences to Storytelling of Postmigration” aligns with this ongoing epistemological and analytical transformation. It aims to explore how postmigration thinking is reshaping the narratives that can be written, spoken, or reconstructed from migration-related experiences.
