Protest Linguistic Landscapes of concrete utopia: Asserting the ‘right to the square’ in Exarchia
Adopting an ethnographic approach to the Linguistic Landscape (LL), the current paper sheds light on the imagination and prefigurations ( Graeber, 2013 ) of a utopic future enacted in the protest LL of Exarchia Square in Athens city centre. More specifically, within a context of police suppression, protest LLs have been performed to save the only square of Exarchia neighbourhood against the plans to construct a metro station on the square, constr…
From frozen spaces to rhizomatic eduscapes of possibility: Transforming the prison classroom into a common space for youths through rhizocurrere
Homescapes of im~mobility: Migratory transpatial repertoires during the pandemic
The present article reflects on the concept of 'spatial repertoire' through a 'trans'-perspective in order to explain the trans-formation of migrants' homescapes during the pandemic-a time of restricted mobility. In the context of translocal im~mobility, this ethnographically informed multiple case study explores how three Greek 'brain drain' immigrants performed homescapes in the online-offline nexus from October to February 2020. Employing a cr…

Yet, these multimoda…

Specifically, we identify the conceptual metaphors used to depict Europe and refugees, and how political cartoons framed the 'refugee crisis by applying Conceptual Metaphor Theory – CMT…
