The Collaborative Research Center (SFB) aims to change the way we look at migration. It assumes that migration is the product of a societal production process, which in turn fundamentally changes societies. Using concrete empirical constellations, the SFB investigates how individual, collective and institutional actors in different contexts practice, process and charge migration with meaning. This production of migration is understood as a dynamic negotiation: In a contested process marked by power asymmetries, migration is (de)thematized, (de)problematized, and linked to other societal developments. By this, the production of migration not only creates, stabilizes or changes physical movements of people, but also social orders and knowledge systems. The shared research questions of the interdisciplinary consortium are: 1) How and with which meanings is migration produced? Who is involved in which ways and with which interests, resources, instruments and practices? 2) How and why does the societal approach to migration change? 3) How does the production of migration influence perceptions? And what consequences does it have for social structures and processes of societal change? The production of migration and its meanings is based on categorizations of people, groups and practices. These are condensed into social figures, which in turn can influence processes of negotiation. Project Group A of the SFB is therefore dedicated to the figures of migration and their emergence, reproduction and effectiveness - both on individual and societal levels. The production of migration also requires specific infrastructures that create or restrict options for mobility and belonging. These infrastructures and the actors associated with them are the subject of Project Group B. Moreover, migratory movements always have a spatial dimension. The production of migration, too, creates and uses spaces and spatial imaginations. Project Group C therefore focuses on the spaces of migration. In the SFB, figures, infrastructures and spaces are understood as central media of the production of migration. By examining how migration is conceived, observed and attributed with meaning, and how in this process societal structures of migration are (re-)produced, the SFB conducts migration research as research of the society as a whole. Research and academia are involved in the production of migration, too, and they thus also become an object of study. The long-term goal of the Collaborative Research Centre is therefore to develop a reflexive theory of the social production of migration.

协作研究中心(SFB)旨在改变我们看待迁移的方式。它假定移民是社会生产过程的产物，而社会生产过程反过来又从根本上改变了社会。利用具体的经验星座，SFB调查了不同背景下的个人、集体和机构行为者如何实践、处理移民并赋予移民以意义。移民的这种产生被理解为一种动态的谈判：在一个以权力不对称为标志的有争议的过程中，移民被(去)主题化、(去)问题化，并与其他社会发展联系在一起。因此，移民的产生不仅创造、稳定或改变了人的身体流动，而且还创造、稳定或改变了社会秩序和知识系统。跨学科联盟的共同研究问题是：1)移民是如何产生的，具有哪些含义？谁以何种方式和哪些利益、资源、手段和做法参与其中？2)社会对移徙的方法如何以及为什么改变？3)移徙的产生如何影响人们的看法？它对社会结构和社会变革进程有什么后果？移民的产生及其意义建立在对人、群体和习俗的分类基础上。这些被凝聚成社会人物，进而影响谈判进程。因此，专题小组A专门研究移徙数字及其在个人和社会层面上的出现、繁殖和效果。移徙的产生还需要特定的基础设施，以创造或限制流动性和归属感的选择。这些基础设施和与之相关的行为者是B项目组的主题。此外，移徙流动始终具有空间层面。移民的生产也创造和使用了空间和空间想象。因此，项目C组的重点是移徙空间。在SFB中，数字、基础设施和空间被理解为移民生产的中心媒介。通过考察移民是如何被构思、观察和赋予意义的，以及在这个过程中移民的社会结构是如何(重新)产生的，SFB将移民研究作为整个社会的研究。研究和学术界也参与了移民的生产，因此也成为研究的对象。因此，合作研究中心的长期目标是发展一种关于移徙的社会生产的反身性理论。
