Representations of War, Migration, and Refugeehood: Interdisciplinary Perspectives

By Daniel Rellstab

War, migration, and refugeehood are inextricably linked and the complex nature of all three phenomena offers profound opportunities for representation and misrepresentation. This volume brings together international contributors and practitioners from a wide range of fields and backgrounds to explore and problematize textual and visual inscriptions of war and migration in the arts, the media, academic, public, and political discourses. The essays in this collection address the academic and political interest in representations of the migrant and the refugee, and examine the constructed nature of concepts such as 'war, ' 'refuge(e), ' 'victim, ' 'border, ' 'home, ' 'non-place, ' and 'dis/location.'
