“MIGRANT BUSINESS” AND WELCOMING NARRATIVES IN CITIES: IS THERE A WAY OUT OF A CONCEPTUAL SWAMP?
u ponedjeljak, 11. prosinca 2017. godine u 15.30 sati
u Konferencijskoj dvorani Knjižnice Filozofskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu (Ivana Lučića 3).
Sažetak predavanja:
This talk puts the concepts of ethnic business, ethnic entrepreneurship, ethnic/migrant economy, migrant business or migrant entrepreneurs under critical scrutiny. It aims to situate the celebration of migrant entrepreneurship within the welcoming city narratives of disempowered cities and explores these processes of valorization in relation to the urban restructuring taking place in these cities. On the basis of research findings of migrant/minority emplacement from three such cities, this talk aims to situate the migrant/and minority business friendly welcoming narratives within the multiscalar relationship between migrants and urban restructuring processes shaped by a historical conjuncture.
