The beach confronts us with crucial issues of our times: migration,
postcolonial power structures and mass tourism, climate change and
pollution as well as gender and burkini swimwear controversies are
examples of the numerous conflicts, discourses and practices that
manifest within this liminal zone and that find their focal point
there. The interdisciplinary volume understands 'the beach' as a
(border) phenomenon in its own right and contributes to the new
field of beach studies. It takes its point of departure from this
changing image of 'the beach' to explore how its topographies,
experiences and cultural significations are constructed through
art, society and culture and how 'the beach' shapes poetics and
aesthetic strategies in literature, film, photography, painting,
music and performance. It aims to gain systematic insights from an
analysis of historically and geographically specific varieties of
the beach and to create a critical awareness for the contextual
implications of contemporary discussions revolving around 'the
beach'.
