The category of the nomad has gained a newfound salience in recent decades, ranging from public interest in “digital nomadism” to academic debates about “nomadic theory.” Faced with this upsurge of interest in nomadism, this collective discussion brings together five scholars of diverse theoretical and academic backgrounds to investigate the pasts, presents, and possible futures of the nomad category. The contributions excavate the conditions under which the category first arose in European social and political discourse, explore the historical baggage that this category has carried with it into the twenty-first century, and inquire under what conditions nomadism has come to be regarded as a promising or emancipatory trope. Keeping with the open-ended ethos of international political sociology, the aim of the collective discussion is not to seek conceptual mastery over the category of the nomad, but to foreground the multiple, ambivalent, and often contradictory ways in which this category has been deployed through space and time. More broadly, the collective discussion is an invitation for scholars to explore the international social and political lives of our concepts in a way that destabilizes disciplinary and institutional boundaries.

Migration theory as social theory: From transnational migration to mobile social ontologies

With the paradigm shift toward transnationalism in the 1990s, perspectives on the phenomenon of migration changed fundamentally. Up to that point, the societies of origin and settlement had defined the analytical framework for sociology in general and migration research in particular. With the transnational migration model, this perspective made a U-turn: the transnational social networks of migrants became the starting point of migration research and social analysis. First, that meant that migrants and migrating people came to occupy a social–theoretical subject position. Second, migrant lives and the transnational social worlds that they sustain provided a social and socio-theoretical research perspective: migration itself became a perspective of social analysis in general. What does this imply for social theory? I suggest thinking about a social theory that is a migration theory at the same time—and vice versa. Therefore, I investigate Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's nomadology as a specific kind of theory of social mobilities ( Deleuze & Guattari, 1987 ). Within that framework, it is possible to describe social mobilities beyond the “physical” dichotomy between “sedentary” on the one hand and “mobile” or “migrant” on the other.
