„Die Macht des Visums” – Film & Diskussion
6. Mai 2025, 19.30 Uhr, Lagerhalle (Osnabrück)
Das SFB-Teilprojekt B1 zeigt den Dokumentarfilm „Die Macht des Visums“ mit anschließender Podiumsdiskussion. Der Film gibt anhand verschiedener Geschichten von Betroffenen Einblicke in die deutsche Visavergabepraxis und weist auf systematische Ungerechtigkeiten im Visa-Regime hin. Im Anschluss sprechen wir mit mit Expert*innen aus Praxis und Wissenschaft über die verschiedenen Visumsarten und -verfahren sowie globale Mobilitätsungleichheiten. Dabei blicken wir insbesondere auf Visa zum Familiennachzug zu Schutzberechtigten und im Kontext von Arbeitsmigration. Details

The DFG-funded Collaborative Research Centre ›Production of Migration‹ (SFB 1604) is a long-term interdisciplinary consortium of innovative projects in the field of reflexive migration research. Launched in April 2024, around 50 researchers from the fields of geography, history, psychology, linguistics, law and social sciences are investigating various forms, facets and consequences of the social negotiation of migration (Press release). The aim is to jointly develop a reflexive theory of the social production of migration.
SFB 1604 comprises 15 projects assigned to the project areas Figures, Infrastructures and Spaces, the three media of the production of migration. Next to the project areas the projects work together in the Reflexivity Lab. SFB 1604 also includes an Integrated Research Training Group for its PhD student members. A Transfer Project applies and tests the perspectives and findings of the SFB in a museum context.
The SFB is dedicated to promoting early-career researchers as well as equal opportunities and diversity. While the center is hosted by Osnabrück University, partner institutions in the joint project are the University of Münster, the Goethe University Frankfurt, the Europa-Universität Flensburg, TU Dortmund University, Kiel University, and FU Berlin in cooperation with the Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History Research Potsdam.
