Early Modern Encounters between Africa and Europe in Leo Africanus’s The Cosmography and Geography of Africa (1526)
With al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad al-Wazzān al-Zayyātī (more commonly known as Leo Africanus) and his The Cosmography and Geography of Africa (1526) at its center, this article examines an early modern traveller and a text that journeyed across time, space, and multiple translations. Understanding both al-Wazzān and The Cosmography as mobile agents navigating often-clashing worlds, the article foregrounds early modern encounters between Africa and Europ…
Introduction
This research cluster offers four original case studies in Victorian and neo-Victorian ecocriticism. Clustered around the key concepts of form, materiality, and politics, its articles build on recent efforts by Victorianists to analyse interconnections of nature, agriculture, industry, and empire in the nineteenth-century literary imagination. The introduction first relates the cluster’s concerns to the latest scholarship in Victorian ecocriticis…
Journal of Indentureship and Its Legacies
Indentureship had profound and lasting effects on the bodies of those involved. Recruitment processes, along with the harrowing conditions of transport and labour, radically reshaped the material and physical realities of indentured labourers, influencing not only their immediate bodily experiences but also the socio-cultural practices and embodied memories they would pass down to future generations. As such, indentured corporeality dwells in but…

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 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…
Chapter 2 Imagining Migration In-Between
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…
Playing with Saris
Shailja Patel’s Migritude engages in strategies of addressing, negotiating, and ultimately opposing violence that all play out along differing visual, textual, and material routes. Migritude can best be described as multi-modal and hybrid; it initially originated as a spoken-word performance and has since metamorphosed and become a conglomeration of art, poetry, and autobiography in book form. It is not only the story of Patel’s own movements acr…
Ocean Imaginaries in Warsan Shire’s Afro-Diasporic Poetry
The following article posits the ocean as a connective, affective space. This notion of oceanic relationality lends itself to analyses of the work of Somalian-British poet Warsan Shire. In her work, we can find renditions of specifically located transoceanic trajectories which reach across various different water spaces: her poems connect the East African diaspora via the Northern Indian Ocean first to Northern Africa and the Middle East and from…
