Invitation for lectures on conceptualisations of trafficking
The research institutes Fafo and the Rokkan Centre are inviting you to Fafo May
22 10.00-12.30 for lectures by Professor Julia O'Connell Davidson and Dr.
Rutvica Andrijasevic on conceptualisations of trafficking.
In the last ten years, the phenomenon of trafficking has received
a great deal of attention in media, politics and research. This makes it
interesting to focus on how the phenomenon and the people involved are
portrayed, and on the consequences of this.
The first lecturer is Professor Julia O'Connell Davidson. O'Connell
Davidson is working at the School of Sociology & Social Policy at the
University of Nottingham. She has published extensively on the issue of
prostitution and trafficking. Two of her most important publications are the
books Prostitution, Power and Freedom (1998) and Children in the Global Sex
Trade (2005).
New Slavery, Old Binaries: Trafficking. Mobility and the State
Dominant discourse on trafficking and new slavery reproduces a series of binary
oppositions that have, for some three centuries, served as key pillars of the
conceptual framework used to structure, explain and give meaning to the highly
unequal social relations of liberal democratic societies, including
subject/object, freedom/slavery, consent/force, public/private,
modern/traditional, civilised/barbaric. It tells a story in which human rights
are violated by barbaric, pre-modern mafias who use force to enslave women and
children and trade them as objects in the public sphere of the market.
Trafficking and new slavery are thus presented as the very opposite of the kind
of freedom that is cherished and promoted in modern liberal democracies, where
sovereign subjects freely enter into voluntary, consensual, contractual
exchanges with one another in the public realm of economic life, and where
children are protected within the private sphere of the family until they reach
the maturity of their faculties and can claim self-sovereignty. The moral of the
archetypal trafficking and new slavery story is the reassuring news that here in
Western liberal democracies, we really are committed to the defence of freedom
and human rights. Paying particular attention to the many legal and social
fetters that have historically been and are today imposed upon individuals who
are socially imagined as 'free', this paper interrogates the binary opposition
between slavery and freedom that is so central to liberal thought as well as to
contemporary anti-trafficking and anti-slavery campaigns.
The second lecture is held by Dr. Rutvica Andrijasevic. Andrijasevic is a Marie
Curie Research Fellow at the Centre on Migration, Policy and Society Institute
of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Oxford. Her PhD
thesis, Trafficking in women and the politics of mobility in Europe (2004), was
concerned with anti-trafficking campaigns, and she has since then published
several articles on anti-trafficking campaigns, migration control and feminism.
(In)conceivable Agents: reconfiguring the political subjectivities in sex
trafficking. In this paper Andrijasevic approach the phenomenon known as 'sex
trafficking' in terms of articulations of subjectivities and bring to the fore
the investments and negotiations trafficked women enact across material and
symbolic terrains pertaining to femininity, prostitution and migration. By
viewing 'sex trafficking' as a process of subject formation and by examining
the agency that 'trafficked' women enact, this paper aims to extend the
scholarly analysis of trafficking beyond the discussion that positions women as
victims or agents on the basis of whether or not they have been forced into or
have 'chosen' prostitution. This approach has broader implications for feminist
theorizations of political agency as it points to the limits of the framework
that understands agency in terms of the dichotomous logic of domination versus
resistance that tends to result in the analytic simplification of subjectivity.
The paper argues for an affirmative account of agency that, grounded in the
understanding of subjectification as a generative process, permits scholars to
theorize on how autonomous subjects emerge from constraint and to recognize the
specificity of particular struggles whether articulated across discursive or
material terrains. The paper hence engages both material and cultural feminist
theories of agency in the effort to further the cause of feminism as a
prepositional project capable of inspiring alternative forms of knowledge and
action.
