[csaa-forum] FW: Borderlands General Issue, 17.2, Migration and Mobility Politics

[Anne Begg]

Dear All

Apologies for cross-posting.

I'm delighted to announce that issue 17.2, Migration and Mobility Politics, is now available online:

http://www.borderlands.net.au/issues/vol17no2.html

The contributions from Richie Wyver, Steven Farry, Fabiane Ramos, Mahmoud Kesharvarz and Eric Snodgrass, and Lewis Rarm, shine light upon the complex production of otherness both within and across the borders of the contemporary nation-state. The authors employ a range of critical tools, from Bhabha’s mimicry to Foucault’s theories of racism and biopolitics, and ethnographic methods to reveal how constructed borders, national, cultural, and economic, are a form of violence that can dehumanise, remove citizenship rights, and impoverish mobile subjects. This issue is very much in the experimental spirit of Borderlands, which aims to critically work at the intersections of economics, philosophy, law, everyday cultural life, film and media.

Many thanks to the authors, reviewers, and editors for their work in producing this general issue. Thanks also, to Tony Burke for his support and help with publication.

Very best wishes

Brett
