    Politics and Poetics of Exile

    Open lecture

    11.12.2023, 18:30 – 20:00

    Collegium Helveticum, Schmelzbergstrasse 25, 8006 Zürich

    Lecture by Didier Fassin

    Refugees from Afghanistan or Somalia, Iran or Cameroon, who have fled persecution, conflicts or poverty, often travel for years across deserts, mountains and seas. Alone or with their family, they face natural hardships, armed groups, police violence, and people’s hostility, in search of a safe place. Based on a five-year ethnography at the border between Italy and France, the lecture will connect scenes from fieldwork and writings, exploring the politics and poetics of exile. This research, which has been conducted with Anne-Claire Defossez, sociologist at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, has received the support of the Nomis Foundation in Zürich.

    The lecture will be followed by a conversation between Marielle Macé and Didier Fassin.
