Thanks to the IRB, I was able to attend the 16th Conference of the European Sociological Association titled “Tension, Trust and Transformation” from 27 - 30 August 2024 in Porto. My oral presentation on the topic “In (Biographical) Limbo: Ways and Limits of Articulating Past Individual but Ongoing Collective Experiences of Violence” was placed in the panel “Compassion and Suffering”, chaired by the Research Network “Biographical Perspectives on European Societies”. Therefore, the discussion of my research mainly targeted the biographical effects of the ongoing state violence in Syria on exiled members of Syrian communities living in Germany. The overall positive feedback that my concept of “biographical limbo gives shape to the difficulties, tensions and incoherencies regarding the narrative ways of connecting time and space” was very helpful and encourages me to continue working on detailing this notion throughout my PhD. |
