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

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.
