Migration is one of the most relevant phenomena of contemporary times and thus a prominent topic of research in the humanities and the social sciences in recent years. Migration is a result among other reasons of political persecution, economical pressures, or the pursuit of opportunities.

Topics of interest for the conference include migration and cityscapes; border and border crossing; the politics of frontiers; cultural assimilation and the politics of language; transformations of languages and dialects; language and nationhood; representations of the (im)migrant in literature and media; (im)migration and diaspora; travel and exploration; maritime culture, literature, and the arts; and nationalism, post-nationalism, and the (im)migrant.
