Aims & Scope

The course of cultures at both local and global levels is crucially
affected by migratory movements. In turn, culture itself is turned
migrant. This journal will advance the study of the plethora of
cultural texts on migration produced by an increasing number of
cultural practitioners across the globe who tackle questions of
culture in the context of migration. They do this in a variety of ways
and through a variety of media. To name but a few relevant aspects of
this juncture of migration and culture, questions of dislocation,
travel, borders, diasporic identities, transnational contacts and
cultures, cultural memory, the transmission of identity across
generations, questions of hybridity and cultural difference, the
material and oral histories of migration and the role of new
technologies in bridging cultures and fostering cultural
cross-pollination will all be relevant. Methodologies of research will
include both the study of 'texts' and fieldwork.
