[ecrea] Crossings: Journal of Migration & Culture, issue 3.2

Wed Dec 12 00:21:54 GMT 2012



Intellect is delighted to announce the publication of the special issue of Crossings: Journal of Migration & Culture, now publishing two issues per year

Crossings: Journal of Migration & Culture, issue 3.2

This special issue of Crossings aims to de-westernize migration theories and practices. Saër Maty Bâ suggests that emerging migrant European populations bring the potential for new knowledge to film and visual culture studies and attempts to make disciplines borderless by questioning methodological orthodoxy. Claudio Canaparo also proposes a conceptual alternative with which to think through notions of migration, dissecting three areas of radical constructivism. Patti Gaal-Holmes and Sally Shaw explore notions of 'home' and formations of identity by examining space-related memory and the British film Black Joy, respectively, while Ruth Doughty discusses the forced migration of African Americans from their homes in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina and the consequent, problematic association of black identity with foreignness. The visualization of migrant presence in the work of diasporic women artists is analyzed by Roshini Kempadoo, and Deborah Shaw contributes a survey of filmic representations of migrations from Mexico and Central America to the United States. Finally, Will Higbee argues for the need to explore music and sound in Maghrebi-French and other diasporic and postcolonial cinema.
