| Riassunto: | In an era marked by violent border regimes, mounting xenophobia against migrants and refugees, and the reassertion of blood-and-soil nationalisms across Europe and beyond, liberal multicultural frameworks have proven inadequate for contesting essentialist logics of belonging - as they often remain contained within the framework of the nation-state itself. Merely critiquing ethno-nationalism is insufficient; we require theoretical frameworks capable of imagining sociality beyond the nation-state. This paper develops a diasporic sociology through the exegesis and synthesis of 19th-20th century Jewish critical thought and Black critical thought, two intellectual traditions born precisely from the experience of being strangers, that is insider-outsiders, of European societies. Both traditions developed in and through the societal margins, theorizing from diasporic positions of (forced) displacement and offering vocabularies for understanding how societies are remade through movement and the claims of those deemed outsiders. |
