This edited volume explores the contribution of migrant and refugee
artists to the performance and production of radical democratic
citizenship in Europe. Contemporary Europe - ridden by social,
political and economic crises, overlaid onto colonial and imperial
trajectories, and sharpened by the shockwaves generated by Brexit
and the 'Syrian refugee crisis' - has become a space in which
citizenship and belonging are contested, disrupted, preformed and
produced anew. Migrant and refugee artists have audaciously
inserted themselves into, and are pushing the boundaries of these
debates, challenging and unhinging dominant interpretations of the
parameters of European citizenship and belonging. Through
contributions from migrant and refugee artists and artists, and
scholarly interventions into debates in citizenship studies and
poststructuralist theory the volume explores the contribution of
artistic production in conditions of displacement and exile to the
reimagining of citizenship in Europe.
This book explores the possibilities offered by Derrida's work on
democracy for interpreting contemporary struggles over democracy in
Turkey. The relationship between democracy and justice seems of
unquestionable importance to Derrida, with democracy and justice
held in tension by deconstruction. Agnes Czajka offers a qualified
endorsement of a 'just democracy', grounded in the possibilities
opened up by reading Derrida's work on democracy together with his
work on justice. She posits that one way of imagining
democracy-to-come might be to imagine it as a 'just democracy', or
one poised at the intersection of the aporia of democracy and the
(non)imperative to justice. In the particular context of
contemporary struggles over democracy in Turkey, she also explores
what such comportment toward a just democracy (or a justice of/in
democracy) might look like in the context of that 'particular'
democracy.

Is Europe's crisis just a financial one - or is there a deeper
problem? Tackling issues ranging from Europe's legal, institutional
and cultural identity to its border, citizenship and integration
policies, and looking forward to its legacy for the future, the
contributors to this volume interrogate the various dimensions and
contours of the European crisis. By revisiting Derrida's diagnosis
of the crisis of European identity, they simultaneously propose a
new direction for Europe, and an alternative response to today's
crisis.
