The lecture provides insight into empirical practice in research about poverty and social inequalities using the example of a current study among seasonal plantation workers in Southern Italy. The focus will be put on the link between how the people experience their lifeworlds of extreme deprivation and exploitation and the structural social conditions which are at the origin of their hardships. The second goal of the seminar is to introduce students to methods of documentation and to analyse the specific potentials and pitfalls of different means such as photography, interviews and textual description.

The seminar is scheduled as a two-term course. In the summer term of 2015, students are invited to improve their presentation skills in order to be able to autonomously guide school classes during the exhibition of the photographs in Schloss Büchsenhausen, thus making them gather job experience in the promotion of scientific results from the humanities to a different public in the context of a museum. Only students having followed the winter term seminar are admitted to the summer term seminar!

Most of the african migrants landing on the island of Lampedusa every year are transferred to the Italian mainland to be identified and to seek asylum or a subsidiary status. Notwithstanding if they are accorded a legal residence or not, the Italian State does not provide any housing or social benefits structure for migrants. They are therefore forced to seek for labour opportunities in big cities like Naples or Turin, or, if they cannot find work there, labour in the fruit and vegetable plantations in the South, under extremely harsh living and working conditions, low wages, and total precariousness. The documentary photographs taken during the long-term research project Bitter Oranges will be shown as an exhibition in Schloss Büchsenhausen in Spring 2015. The seminar combines theoretical perspectives of current scientific debates on migration with empirical evidence. Students will develop a scientific concept for a documentation using material of the research project.
