Thanatic Ethics

The Circulation of Bodies in Migratory Spaces

Herausgeber: Banerjee, Bidisha; Lacroix, Thomas; Misrahi-Barak, Judith

Beschreibung

This volume engages with migrant deaths from a transnational and interdisciplinary perspective, raising questions beyond representation or visibility. From counting the anonymous dead to being accountable for their erasure, how is the community of the living affected, and what is the ethical and political role of literature and the arts?
