ethnicity is always thought of as an interdependent
categorization: the assignment of individuals to ethnic groups
is influenced among other factors by their geographical or
gendered localization and can change in the course of their
economic activities. We refer to this complex interweaving
of social categorizations as interdependency: on no account
do we suppose a simple causal dependence of one category
from any other. Rather these social categorizations are
processes that mutually influence each other. The term
"categorization" we employ stresses its procedural character:
these markers of belonging and difference emerge in
interactions and must be interpreted by social actors.
The symposium will examine the interdependencies of social
categorizations and the everyday consequences of these
processes. It will raise the questions how social
categorizations interrelate, how they mutually ‘constitute’
each other, how they are rejected, appropriated or
transformed by social actors. Furthermore its aim is to
explore whether and how the concepts citizenship and
belonging can help to analyze the various in- and exclusions
connected to social categorizations.
