migrations
& identities is a new journal published bi-annually by Liverpool University
Press. The
title represents a programme: We aim to interrogate notions of
‘identity’ while asking how the fact of mobility and displacement
does shape understandings of self and the wider world, among both migrants and
‘host’ societies. By the same token, we seek to understand
how ideas and concepts are transformed as they ‘migrate’ from one
place and culture to another. These issues have been, and continue to be,
addressed under a number of rubrics and through a number of approaches in the
humanities and social sciences. In acknowledgement of this, migrations
& identities is multi- and interdisciplinary in its conception and
management. It also aims to cover the widest possible range of places,
periods and methods, subject only to a shared curiosity and enthusiasm about
the possibilities of working at the interface between the investigation of the
material conditions of migration processes and the study of ideas and
subjectivities. In particular, we hope that scholars working in many fields
will find in migrations & identities a forum for discussion of the
methods appropriate to a project of linking observable experience and
mentalities in different times and places, and that among the topics of
discussion will be the real challenges involved in conversing across
disciplinary boundaries.
We
invite manuscripts from scholars representing all disciplines and methodologies
which can contribute to this discussion. These might include case studies
based on empirical research which are framed by and reflect on the
methodological and theoretical issues set out above, essays which focus on
questions of theory and methodology, or review articles. The journal will be
published twice a year.
