Das Thema Migration beherrscht erneut die politische Debatte, dabei fehlt historische Tiefenscharfe zumeist vollig. Eine transepochale Perspektive kann zeigen, dass Mobilitat konstitutiv fur menschliche Gesellschaften ist. In diesem Heft werden bislang unzureichend erforschte geschlechtsspezifische Aspekte in den Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung geruckt. Dadurch lasst sich Migration als historisch vielfaltiges und vielschichtiges Phanomen charakterisieren – und das jenseits der gelaufigen dichotomen Vorstellung von vermeintlich abenteuerlustigen Mannern und sesshaften Frauen. Neu in den Blick geraten so Grunde, Formen, Raume, Organisation und Folgen von Mobilitat. Die Beitrage beleuchten geschlechtsspezifische Aspekte von Arbeitsmigration, Migrationspolitik und Logiken der Herkunfts- und Aufnahmegesellschaften in einem innereuropaischen und transatlantischen Rahmen vom Mittelalter bis zum 20. Jahrhundert.


The topic of migration is dominating current political debates, yet historical depth is often completely lacking. A transepochal perspective can show that mobility is constitutive for all human societies. This issue places gender-specific aspects, which have been insufficiently researched so far, at the center of investigation. The chosen approach allows migration to be characterized as a historically diverse and multifaceted phenomenon – beyond the common dichotomous view of supposedly adventurous men and sedentary women. It brings newly into focus reasons, forms, spaces, organizations, and consequences of mobility. The contributions shed light on gender-specific aspects of labor migration, migration policies, and the logics of societies of origin and receiving societies in an intra-European and transatlantic context, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
