Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Narratives of Forced Mobility and Displacement in Contemporary Literature and Culture: Border Violencefocuses on the evidence of the effects of displacement as seen in narratives-cinematic, photographic, and literary-produced by, with, or about refugees and migrants. The book explores refugee journeys, asylum-seeking, trafficking, and deportation as well as territorial displacement, the architecture of occupation and settlement, and border separation and violence. The large-scale movement of people from the global South to the global North is explored through the perspectives of the new mobilities paradigm, including the fact that, for many of the displaced, waiting andimmobilityis a common part of their experience. Through critical analysis drawing on cultural studies and literary studies, Roger Bromley generates an alternative 'map' of texts for understanding displacement in terms of affect, subjectivity, and dehumanization with the overall aimof opening up new dialogues in the face of the current stream of anti-refugee rhetoric.

Synopsis

Narratives of Forced Mobility and Displacement in Contemporary Literature and Culture: Border Violence focuses on the evidence of the effects of displacement as seen in narratives--cinematic, photographic, and literary--produced by, with, or about refugees and migrants. The book explores refugee journeys, asylum-seeking, trafficking, and deportation as well as territorial displacement, the architecture of occupation and settlement, and border separation and violence. The large-scale movement of people from the global South to the global North is explored through the perspectives of the new mobilities paradigm, including the fact that, for many of the displaced, waiting and immobility is a common part of their experience. Through critical analysis drawing on cultural studies and literary studies, Roger Bromley generates an alternative "map" of texts for understanding displacement in terms of affect, subjectivity, and dehumanization with the overall aimof opening up new dialogues in the face of the current stream of anti-refugee rhetoric.
