Dear all, This is a call for chapters to be part of the ‘Handbook of Displacement’ due to be published by Palgrave in 2019. The Handbook of Displacement will offer an interdisciplinary intervention into studies of displacement in the Global North and Global South. While the study of displacement is usually framed in terms of refugees and those displaced by war, conflict or environmental disaster, the handbook questions the limits of official definitions of displacement and reveals the diverse circumstances in which people can be forced into mobility or immobility in and over different space/times. It does so through a wide-ranging collection of conceptual, methodological and empirical chapters from scholars across the humanities and social sciences, as well as practitioners and activists who are involved in interpreting, subverting, and resisting displacement across the world. Together as co-editors from Royal Holloway Geography, we have commissioned the majority of chapters but are looking to find contributors for the following chapters/sections: Conceptual Perspectives on Displacement (3,000 words inc. of references): - Bio and/or necropolitics of displacement - Political economy of displacement Technologies of Displacement (up to 5,000 words inc. of references): - Artwashing Journeys of Displacement (up to 5,000 words inc. of references): - Gender-based violence - Sensory journeys of displacement Traces of displacement (up to 5,000 words inc. of references): - Journalism Materialities of displacement (up to 5,000 words inc. of references): - The smart phone - Museums and curation Representations of Displacement (up to 5,000 words inc. of references): - Displacement on screen/film - Memorialising displacement - Sound and displacement Resisting displacement (up to 5,000 words inc. of references): - Performing displacement and trauma: Dance and theatre Further information: - If you would like to contribute a chapter on any of these themes, please do get in contact. We ask that interested contributors (single or co-authored) email Katherine ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) in the first instance. A working title and chapter abstract will then be needed by June 12 2018. The section editor will liaise with you on this. - The deadline for chapter drafts to the editorial team is ideally by October 29 2018 but if longer is required, please do flag. - The chapters are intended as short syntheses/overviews of knowledge and debates in a particular area. - If you have a suggestion for a different chapter which fits under these section headings then we are open to considering it. - We are happy to provide section descriptions and any further information to interested authors to support their contribution. - Here is a link if you are happy to post this call on Twitter etc: https://www.projectbloodbricks.org/blog/2018/5/8/call-for-contributors-handbook-of-displacement Thank you and best wishes, Katherine (Pete Adey, Janet Bowstead, Vandana Desai, Mike Dolton, Alasdair Pinkerton, and Ayesha Siddiqi) Professor Katherine Brickell Professor of Human Geography Department of Geography Royal Holloway, University of London Egham Surrey TW20 0EX Email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Webpage: www.katherinebrickell.com<http://www.katherinebrickell.com/> Twitter: @k_brickell Tel: 01784-443563 Fax: 01784-472836 ************************************************************* * Anthropology-Matters Mailing List * http://www.anthropologymatters.com * * A postgraduate project comprising online journal, * * online discussions, teaching and research resources * * and international contacts directory. * * To join this list or to look at the archived previous * * messages visit: * * https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/Anthropology-Matters * * If you have ALREADY subscribed: to send a message to all * * those currently subscribed to the list,just send mail to: * * [log in to unmask] * * * * Enjoyed the mailing list?
