[Commlist] Borderlands Special Issue, 18.1, Travelling Narratives and Images in Times of Migration published

Mon May 20 13:51:45 GMT 2019



Borderlands special issue, 18.1, 'Travelling Narratives and Images in Times of Migration' is now available online:

http://www.borderlands.net.au/issues/vol18no1.html

This special issue presents an inter-disciplinary investigation of migrant narratives and images in forms of text and art objects that interrogate, problematise and represent the experience of exile and migration. It invites readers 'to reconsider the way factors such as materiality and gender are accentuated in the crossing of borders'. The editors invoke Marianne Heske's artwork and, more specifically, her short text in the booklet 'Stone Story' to characterise the approach of this special issue and to 'demonstrate the critical potential of reworking formal and narrative schemata of existing genres in order to create poetic and critical reflections and perspectives on migration and exile'. As the editors point out, in these times when it is more important than ever to understand the experiences of exiles, migrants and refugees, it is also important that such narratives encompass varied textual, material and visual expressions and so make space for the articulation of a plurality of stories and perspectives.

We are very grateful to the editors, Sigrun Åsebø, Anje Müller Gjesdal and Camilla Skalle for their cooperation and commitment in the compilation of this publication. Congratulations to them and to the other authors who contributed articles: Andrea Ciribuco, Inge Lanslots, Susan Ossman and Rachel Williams. It's been a pleasure working with you all, your contribution to borderlands is very much appreciated.
