Chapter 15 Concluding Remarks
Concluding Remarks: (Strange) Migratory EncountersThinking about how we might work with, and speak to, others, or how we may inhabit the world with others, involves imagining a different form of political community, one that moves beyond the opposition between common and uncommon, between friends and strangers, or between sameness and difference.
Chapter 7 “The Most Outcast Réfugié!” Knowing Migration in Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué’s The Réfugié (1824)
Chapter 7 "The Most Outcast Réfugié!" Knowing Migration in Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué's The Réfugié (1824)A réfugié is an owl among crows.It is due to the lighting which may be wrong.But we poor réfugiés must be glad that the light of these strange regions illuminates us at all. 1 German Romantic literature is rarely associated with the political migrations at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the early nineteenth centuries.However…
Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction: Configurations of MigrationAt a time when state, public and sometimes even academic responses to migration have taken a hostile turn in many Western countries and along the borders of "Fortress Europe," it is more important than ever to untangle the ways in which migration fundamentally re-configures the worlds we collectively inhabit.This volume explores how cultural productions of and about migration influence the format…
Configurations of Migration
Configurations of Migration
In a global context in which phenomena of migration play an ever more important role, the ways individual and collective experiences of migration are covered in the media, represented in culture, and interpreted are coming under increasing scrutiny. This book explores the complex relationship between creative engagements with migration on the one hand, and forms of knowledge about migration on the other, inquiring into the ways aesthetic practice…
Stories are seeds. We need to learn how to sow other stories about plants
In this interview, Natasha Myers discusses her understanding of plants and the relational stories they tell. As a scholar, activist, and artist based in Toronto, Canada, Myers proposes ways to detune Western norms and forms of sense-making, to expand our sensorium, and participate with plants in the stories they tell. Calling out the colonial violence, racial injustice, and neo-Darwinism that are lurking within the stories people still tell about…
The Stories Plants Tell
Our introduction aims to contest narrative as an anthropocentric proper and delineates current theories, methods, and challenges of conceiving plants as both storytellers and storied matter. Our issue fits into the larger frame of a recent "vegetal turn" within the humanities that has long been used to find plants marginal, mute, or symbolic supplements to human stories. The introduction, therefore, focuses on forms of vegetal creativity and narr…
Thinking and Writing with Leaves
This article explores how Romantic literatures imagine the lives of and reconfigure encounters with poplar trees. It pays particular attention to German-language writing, its arboreal contexts, and the aesthetic modes of talking and listening to poplars. The Romantics, I argue, were interested in poplars not (only) because they were aesthetically pleasing objects, but because poplars evidently made themselves known as self-expressive subjects of …
R/Emigration verhindern. ,Heimat‘ im Kontext der Auswanderung von 1816/17
This article explores how the term Heimat was used in legal and literary responses to one of Germany’s first large-scale emigrations in 1816/17 and the management of returning migrants. It shows how r/emigration challenged Southwest German governments to define responsibilities of Heimat, especially in the light of people considered homeless. In response to the inconsistent and restrictive ways the governments handled the 1816/17 emigration, Heim…
Literary Autozoographies
What does it mean to take animal autobiography seriously and how can we account for the representation of life-narrating animals? The article investigates animal autobiographies as ‘literary autozoographies’, drawing attention to both the generic contexts and the epistemological premises of these texts. Adopting a double-bind approach stemming from autobiographical research as well as cultural animal studies, the article focuses on early nineteen…
