Migration and Mobility in the Contemporary Balkans

This event is a part of the joint seminar “Eastern Europe in the 20th and 21st Centuries: Memory and Identity” organized by the Department of History, The Ohio State University & The Institute for Ethnology and Folklore Studies with Ethnographic Museum (IEFSEM), Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.



Chair: Dr. Iva Kyurkchieva, IEFSEM, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences



Desislava Pileva, “Mixed Families and Shifting Co-presence (Narratives of Bulgarian-Syrian Families)”

This talk discusses the shifting co-presence of Bulgarian-Syrian families in Bulgaria with their Syrian kin before and after the beginning of the conflict in Syria in 2011. The study is based on first-hand ethnographic data, gathered trough in-depth interviews and additional informal conversations in person or online with family members (both partners and children of age) to show the peculiar “exile” of the mixed families who were deprived of the possibility to travel.

Ivaylo Markov, “Migration and Family among Gorani Community: Continuities and Shifts in post-conflict Kosovo”

Migrations in search of livelihoods and better living conditions have become a structure of everyday life for the Gorani communities in the Balkans. This talk explores how the Gorani manage family-kin relationships across space and time examining the continuities and shifts as they create and experience shared co-presence due to the developments of the migration patterns and increasingly complex transnational modes of living in post-conflict Kosovo.



Moderator: Dr. Theodora Dragostinova, Ohio State
