In der heutigen Zeit ist Migration bei Weitem keine leichte Thematik. Aussagen, Einschätzungen und Prognosen zu treffen, gestaltet sich angesichts weltweiter Krisen zunehmend als schwierig. Daher soll dieser Band, der in der Reihe "Impulse" erscheint, Denkanstöße zur Diskussion über aktuelle Fragen der Migration geben. Wie funktioniert erfolgreiche Integration? Worin liegen die Herausforderungen für eine Demokratie? Welche Rolle spielen Menschenrechte? Im Rahmen des deutsch-italienischen Vigoni-Forums zum Thema "Migration, Demokratie, Menschenrechte" werden hier die vielfältigen Beiträge der Teilnehmer am Forum zusammengefasst und ermöglichen so eine neue Perspektive auf Fragen der Migration, die heute aktueller sind denn je.

Abstract – Given the present climate of heated political debate and social tension over the question of migration, the aim of this study is to investigate how the topic is represented to the general public. The study will examine texts from the British press and from blogs of migration organizations and research centres. The research centres offer themselves as a medium for intelligent discourse on migration and their intent is to bring this discussion out of academia and into an accessible forum for anyone interested in the question. They will therefore give a different perspective to the linguistic landscape of migration from the more politically coloured discourse of the press. The study first uses corpus linguistic methods to examine how migration is represented linguistically in the two subcorpora and then the Appraisal Theory for a qualitative analysis of some extracts from the texts. The analyses show that both the blogs and the press do not use primarily attitudinal lexis, preferring other linguistic resources, such as dialogistic positioning, intensification and evoked evaluation.

Migrationsforschung spielt in der Musikwissenschaft bislang vornehmlich im Blick auf die Phänomene politischer Verfolgung im 20. Jahrhundert eine Rolle. Dass bereits zuvor Musiker migrierten, wurde dagegen bisher kaum beachtet. Allzu selbstverständlich erscheint die Annahme der Unabhängigkeit von Musikern früherer Zeiten, als dass man ihre Reisen unter "Migration" diskutierte. Dabei setzen oftmals gerade diese Musiker Austauschprozesse in Gang, die der Kompositionsgeschichte wichtige Impulse geben. Der hier vorgestellte Längsschnitt durch die Entwicklung musikalischer Wanderbewegungen vom Mittelalter bis heute macht Ergebnisse der geschichts- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Migrationsforschung für die Musikgeschichte nutzbar und zeigt zugleich die Relevanz musikhistorischer Phänomene für die etablierte Migrationsforschung. ; La ricerca sulle migrazioni, condotta dalla musicologia, tematizza fino ad oggi soprattutto i fenomeni legati alla persecuzione politica nel XX secolo. Il fatto che i musicisti migrassero anche in altri tempi, non è quasi mai stato contemplato. Appare fin troppo ovvia l'ipotesi della loro indipendenza, di cui avrebbero goduto nelle epoche passate, per poter annoverare i loro viaggi nella categoria della "migrazione". Tuttavia, spesso sono stati proprio i musicisti ad avviare processi di scambio che hanno dato importanti impulsi alla storia delle composizioni. Il presente studio dello sviluppo diacronico delle migrazioni musicali dal medioevo fino ad oggi si serve dei risultati ottenuti sul campo dalla storiografia e dalle scienze sociali, per applicarli alla storia della musica, ma al contempo sottolinea la rilevanza che i fenomeni storico-musicali rivestono per la ricerca generale sulle migrazioni.

The given paper touches upon the problem of German migration policy in contemporary period. The on-going processes allow us to conclude that the German migration paradigm has been changing as well as one of the most successful states in the European Union and as a state endowed with the greatest peace load after the crisis of 2008. The study gives the main qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the German migration policy in the 2000s. First of all, it is characterized by changes in the geography of migration flows. In 2004, with ten new countries entering the EU, the inflow of migrants from Eastern Europe countries began to increase. During this period, the number of immigrants from Poland has almost doubled. After Bulgaria and Romania joined the EU, the number of people from these countries also increased by more than three times. At the period of 2008 crisis, the inflow of migrants from Italy, Spain, Greece and the Balkan countries intensified; the number of migrants from Croatirapidly increasedafter this country joined the EU in 2013. The author analyzes the qualitative composition of migrants and concludes that, from the beginning of the 21st century, the working migration, having dominated for many decades, is gradually changing in favor of skilled workers' migration. The important role of universities in order to attract highly qualified specialists is substantiated. The migration impact on the labor market is studied with a special attention. It is due to the fact that, when arriving in the country and getting the opportunity to apply skills and realize their human capital, a migrant becomes a kind of investor in the hosting country economy, contributing to its growth. One of its main advantages is that, already having a certain set of knowledge and skills (the hosting country does not need to pay for his education), he can generate new knowledge, create innovations, thereby increasing the competitiveness of the recipient country economy. Germany has a policy of attracting highly qualified ...
