The question of return has long been thought to be central to an exilic discourse and yet relatively little is known about how return migration is actually experienced and subsequently remembered by exiles and also by migrants more widely. In order to mark the 70th anniversary of the ‘official’ end of the Spanish Civil War and the start of the Second World War, events which led to the mass displacement of refugees, this conference seeks contributions for papers on the broad theme of conflict and return migration in twentieth-century Europe. We welcome individual papers or panels in English that focus on any exile, refuge or migrant return episode that has Europe as its point of arrival or departure.
Keynote speakers:
Alicia Alted Vigil, Professor of History, UNED, Madrid
Geneviève Dreyfus-Armand, Historian and Director of the BDIC, Paris
Franziska Meyer, Associate Professor of German Studies, University of Nottingham
