> China in Africa and Africa in China: employment relations as border

>
> Chinese-African engagements are receiving increasing attention across
> academic and more popular publications. The Chinese presence in Africa in
> particular is notorious for its involvement in economic sectors as diverse
> as construction and infrastructural development (ODA and profit based),
> mining, agriculture, manufacturing, services and not least trade. While
> media reports about Chinese economic activities in Africa in general and
> with regard to labor conflicts in particular are overabundant, though
> often of doubtful truth-value, African entrepreneurs in China have
> received much less public attention. Pioneering African entrepreneurs
> employing Chinese labor have been sighted in trade, services (especially
> hotels and restaurants) and manufacturing in several places in China.
>
> Irrespective of geographic location on the African continent or in China
> and economic sector, all these activities share the experience of
> employment relationships working across differences in the areas of
> culture, wealth, work ethics (including unwritten rules and behavioral
> norms, obligations and entitlements), adherence to informal employment
> practices, codified labor law and international standards, to name only
> few potential divides.
>
> In this panel, we seek to understand the ways in which Chinese-African
> employment relationships in any of the above mentioned constellations do
> or do not manage to negotiate the borders between minority and majority
> cultures in the work place. We purposefully invite contributions from the
> entire spectrum of work experiences related to Chinese economic activities
> in Africa and African businesses in China.
>
> We expect questions around the issue of power relations and ideologies
> related to employment and work to be particularly relevant and defining
> for the dynamics of reaching across differences in the cross-cultural work
> place. For example, is the individual effort to translate multiple
> dimensions of unfamiliarity and adapt to more fundamental differences in
> the cross-cultural work context of Chinese-African employment shaped by
> the relative position of authority vested in the figure of the employer
> Does the latter create a monopoly over the interpretation of the
> employment relationship or are the sojourning employers compelled to adapt
> to pervasive local norms and ideologies due to their status as outsiders?
> Beyond the issue of power relations, which other reasons motivate actors
> to cross the limits of their familiar frames of interaction and engage in
> cross-cultural employment relations? Finally, if figurations in employment
> across cultural/ethnic borders are not fixed but negotiable, what is the
> potential of such interactions to transcend more wide-spread social
> prejudices and resentments?
