Con-Communities of Syrian Refugee-Migrants in Germany

目前，由于难民的涌入，德国的生活环境正在发生变化。其中很大一部分人来自叙利亚。为了找到方向，他们通过交流建立关系，加入现有的社区，建立跨国界的社区，追求自己的兴趣。因此，他们得到关于如何解决日常问题和如何实现他们设想的生活方式的信息。难民移民形成的新组织的动态只能部分地用共同的移民理论和概念来解释。从此以后，这些组织被称为“共通社区”。启发式地说，共同体作为一个理论概念，它允许基于经验数据的理论发展（“接地理论”）。通过“研究术语”（德语“Arbeit am Begriff”），可以考虑新的维度和现象，这些都不包括在以前的方法中。考虑到这一点，拟议项目的主要问题是：拥有共同隐性知识和共同利益的叙利亚难民移民共同体如何在德国出现并发挥作用？在地理人种学的方法中，Con-Communities将通过一方面考虑叙利亚难民移民和另一方面考虑文化经纪人（代理人，组织者，领导者）来分析。叙利亚人、他们的交流伙伴以及现有集体（文化掮客、单身人士、夫妇、家庭、部族、族裔群体、协会、难民组织等）的代表作为分析单位。将在农村和城市地区联系不同出身和隶属关系以及庇护身份的面谈伙伴。当不可能筛除新类型的共通社区时，当关于不同类型的出现和功能的知识饱和时，经验工作将完成。理论-经验的获取遵循实践和数字导向的方法。所选择的实证方法包括英雄史诗对话、叙事访谈、参与式观察和网络社区建设活动分析。各社区内的利益、知识、能力和战略将通过分析单位的实践、惯例、沟通和叙述进行审查。关于共同社区工作的进一步资料可以通过成员、志愿人员和机构发起的支持难民的项目获得。该研究的目的是在对德国生活环境进行实证分析的基础上，发展数字时代的“叙利亚难民-移民共居社区理论”。因此，“共同体”、“种族”、“民族”、“想象共同体”、“弱纽带”、“新部落”和“实践共同体”等概念可以作为启发式元素。

Currently, the living environment in Germany is undergoing changes due to the influx of refugees. Among them is a high proportion of people from Syria. In order to find orientation, they build relationships through communication, join existing communities and establish communities across national boundaries to pursue their interests. Thereby, they receive information on how to solve daily problems and how to fulfil their envisioned ways of life. The dynamics of the new organizations formed by refugee-migrants can only partly be explained with the common migration theories and concepts. Henceforth, these organizations are referred to as "Con-Communities". Heuristically speaking, Con-Communities function as a theoretical concept, which allows the development of a theory based on empirical data ("Grounded Theory"). Through “working on the term” (in German “Arbeit am Begriff”), new dimensions and phenomena can be considered, that are not included in previous approaches. With that in mind, the leading question of the proposed project is the following: How do Con-Communities of Syrian refugee-migrants with shared implicit knowledge and with common interests emerge and function in Germany? Within a geographic-ethnographic approach, Con-Communities will be analyzed by taking Syrian refugee-migrants on the one hand and cultural brokers (agents, organizers, leaders) on the other hand into account. Syrians, their communication partners as well as representatives of existing collectives (cultural brokers, singles, couples, families, clans, ethnic groups, associations, refugee organizations, etc.) serve as analytical units. Interview partners of different origins and affiliations as well as asylum status will be contacted in rural and urban areas. The empirical work will be completed whenever it is not possible to screen out new types of Con-Communities and as soon as the knowledge about the emergence and function of different types is saturated. The theoretical-empirical access follows a practice- and digital-oriented approach. The chosen empirical methods include ero-epic dialogues, narrative interviews, participant observation and the analysis of community-building online activities. Interests, knowledge, competences and strategies within the various Con-communities are to be examined through practices, routines, communication and narratives of the analytical units. Further information on the work of Con-Communities can be obtained through projects supporting refugees which are initiated by members, volunteers as well as by institutions. The aim of the study is to develop a “Theory of Con-Communities of Syrian Refugee-Migrants” in the digital age based on an empirical analysis of the living environment in Germany. Thereby, concepts like "Community", "Ethnicity", "Nation", "Imagined Community", „Weak Ties“, "Neo-Tribes" and “Communities of Practice” serve as heuristic elements.
