Synopsis

In/Visibility is unequally distributed in society and closely related to the distribution of power and privilege. It is part of political strategies using images and narratives to mobilize. The relationship of in/visibility and migration is the guiding question for this edited volume. The contributors discuss multidisciplinary perspectives and factors that contribute to the visibility of forced migration beyond a policy-centered discourse. They focus on the voices and agency of refugees in different countries and contexts. By including research, practical experiences and artistic methods, the volume will be of interest to readers from different academic disciplines and the arts as well as to practitioners.
