The development of modern urban societies is accompanied by changing topics and constellations of conflict, and by synchronic and diachronic criss-crossings of different lines of conflict. This process of change implies that local conflict parties will dissolve again over time, with the actors involved in them orientating on and gathering around newly emerging conflict lines. Sometimes actors will be simultaneously involved in very different conflict constellations. The relevant questions are: What are the effects on the actors in an urban society characterised by migration-related diversity if, as a result of changing or criss-crossing conflict constellations and alliances, adversaries become allies and friends become foes? And: do criss-crossing conflict lines contribute to the emergence of new local forms of civil society integration? Is the phenomenon we observe here in fact the emergence of the lifeworld foundations of what some migration researchers term the “post-migrant society”?The project investigates these questions in relation to both historic and contemporary conflicts in Duisburg, focusing on the effects of the synchronic and/or diachronic occurrence of two different forms of conflict. The first of these is conflicts observed where the process of forming conflict parties is associated with attributions of migration-related difference to both sides: “migrant-related conflicts”. In these the conflict parties may be internally very heterogeneous in many respects, but reference to the migration status of those involved (migrant or non-migrant) represents a central category of attribution in the process of their formation. In the second form of conflict the attribution of asserted or actual migration-related characteristics plays no role in the formation of the conflict parties: “non-migrant-related conflicts”. The conflicts of interest will be investigated in relation to the following four sets of questions: 1. To what extent do they correspond to the “pure” types of migrant-related and non-migrant-related conflict? Or are they mixed and/or transitional forms, or something else entirely? Does the initial heuristic distinction between two conflict types need to be revised accordingly? 2. What types of trajectory do the identified migrant-related conflicts follow and what roles are played by intra-group conflicts, intra-organisational conflicts and specific individuals? 3. To what extent do interactions between the different forms of conflict and resulting criss-crossings change the local civil society and its actors? Does a new form of civil society integration develop on the basis of local criss-crossings and associated learning processes? 4. To what extent is the development of the civil society conflict forms and types related to structural transformation processes, which would include local effects of globalisation, post-industrialisation, inequality, demographic change, social mobility and ongoing inward migration to the city?

现代城市社会的发展伴随着冲突的主题和星座的变化，以及不同冲突线的共时性和历时性交叉。这一变化过程意味着，随着时间的推移，地方冲突各方将再次解散，其中涉及的行动者将转向并聚集在新出现的冲突线周围。有时演员们会同时卷入非常不同的冲突星座。相关的问题是：在以移民相关的多样性为特征的城市社会中，如果由于冲突星座和联盟的变化或交错，对手变成盟友，朋友变成敌人，对行动者有什么影响？以及：纵横交错的冲突线是否有助于出现新的地方公民社会融合形式？我们在这里观察到的现象实际上是一些移民研究人员所说的“后移民社会”的生活世界基础的出现吗？该项目调查了与杜伊斯堡历史和当代冲突相关的这些问题，重点关注两种不同形式冲突的共时性和/或历时性发生的影响。其中第一种是观察到的冲突，其中形成冲突方的过程与双方的移民相关差异的归因有关：“移民相关冲突”。在这些冲突中，冲突各方在许多方面可能在内部非常不同，但涉及到有关人员的移徙身份（移徙者或非移徙者）是其形成过程中的一个核心归因类别。在第二种形式的冲突中，断言的或实际的与移民有关的特征的归属对冲突各方的形成没有作用：“与移民无关的冲突”。利益冲突将根据以下四组问题进行调查：1。它们在多大程度上对应于“纯粹”类型的与移民有关和与非移民有关的冲突？或者它们是混合和/或过渡形式，或者完全是别的什么？两种冲突类型之间最初的启发式区分是否需要相应修改？2. 已确定的与移民有关的冲突遵循什么类型的轨迹？群体内冲突、组织内冲突和特定个人发挥了什么作用？3. 不同形式的冲突之间的相互作用以及由此产生的纵横交错在多大程度上改变了当地公民社会及其行动者？在地方交叉和相关学习过程的基础上是否发展出一种新的公民社会融合形式？4. 公民社会冲突的形式和类型的发展在多大程度上与结构转型过程有关，其中包括全球化、后工业化、不平等、人口变化、社会流动和持续向城市迁移的局部影响？
