| Halil Can (Berlin), Alevi-Zazaki affiliations in motion across borders Moderator: Janina KarolewskiWorkers were called, families came. Guest work from Turkey in Germany should only be temporary. But it became a constant movement, across borders. Along with the migration, the affiliations brought with them also began to move and were newly intertwined in the exchange. In addition, marginalized families with Alevi-Zazaki affiliations experienced their coming-out and recognition only in the diaspora. Using their multi-generational family biographies, it should be described as an example of how the migration to work as a guest worker was designed as a conflictual as well as creative process of transformation and as identity and interweaving work between the unequal social positions of insider and outsider. The families (members) become visible as actors who, by shaping their lives, also shape and sustainably change the (migration) societies in which they live or with which they are connected. In their transnational, cross-generational entanglement relationships, a transcultural, creative space is created for a practice of action and a social perspective beyond dominant norms and demarcations.dr des. Halil Can is a political scientist and holds a doctorate in European ethnology with a focus on migration, diversity, intersectional discrimination, racism, empowerment/power sharing and Alevi studies.
