This collection brings together new critical approaches to diaspora
studies, branching out to areas such as literary studies, visual
culture, and museum studies, and explores them in relation to a
variety of fictional works, cultural traditions, theoretical
paradigms, and geo-political contexts. The innovation of this
volume lies in the interplay of both texts and theoretical insights
from these different areas of cultural analysis, drawn together to
probe diverse manifestations of diaspora while pointing out new
directions of critique. Moving between representations of real and
imaginary, violent and utopian, past, present and future diasporas,
contributors demonstrate the ways in which authors, performers and
artists are establishing new modes of representing and imagining
diaspora in an increasingly globalised age. Contributions are
organised into sections on performance, speculative fiction, city
spaces, affective or violent diasporas, and silence and voice.
Bringing together these wide-ranging histories, contexts and media
allows for dialogue across vastly divergent experiences and
representations of diaspora, and opens up a theoretical debate on
the changing nature of this field of study.
