A Wall of Words: Representing Border Securitisation in Contemporary Fiction
The current wave of nationalist populism can easily appear to represent a post-global moment in which the liberal fantasies of a borderless world seem increasingly obsolete. Part of this trend has been a revivification of the border which takes concrete form in a new wave of border fortification, with substantial investment in physical barriers and technological securitization. This has been accompanied by a substantial rhetorical investment in t…
The Worker as Revenant
This essay examines a series of visual representations of illegalized migration in order to consider how they respond to the presence of labor within global systems of economic exchange. Through an examination of the aesthetic qualities of these images it suggests that the worker’s body is repeatedly represented as a kind of specter or ghost. The essay considers how far this depiction is a product of the technical limitations on imaging migrants …
E-terror: Computer viruses, class and transnationalism inTransmissionandOne Night @ the Call Center
This paper focuses upon the use of the language of terror in Hari Kunzru’s Transmission and Chetan Bhagat’s One Night @ the Call Center. It identifies how both these novels apply the language of terror to the actions of exploited Indian workers and considers how this use of the term terror works as a critique of the patterns of contemporary labour within a global economy. It suggests that the proliferating use of terrorism as a discourse of disse…
Scottish nationalism and the colonial vision of Scotland
This essay examines the recent use of postcolonial theory in relation to Scottish literature in order to scrutinize a tendency to designate Scotland as an English colony. It suggests that the basis for this analysis lies in the supposed cultural effects of the British union rather than in its materialist history, which raises questions about the suitability of a colonial model. In tracing the contours of such an analysis, this essay identifies st…
