The centrality of narrative analysis in the investigation of social
processes and practices has become an established fact in the human
sciences. The focus on narrative and displacement in this volume
provides a starting point for a reflection on current issues in
narrative theory as well as a timely interrogation of the role of
narrative in illuminating social phenomena that are central to
modernity such as migration and displacement. At the centre of the
analyses presented in the book are stories that are ignored,
silenced and othered by contemporary public discourses on
displacement, migration and settlement. Drawing on insights from
narrative theory, linguistic ethnography, sociolinguistics and
cultural studies, contributors to the volume examine both how
migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and marginalized minorities
position themselves through narrative practices and how they are
positioned in institutional and official narratives.
