Book

Moving-with & moving-through homelands, languages & memory : an arts-based walkography

Cutcher, Alexandra J., author

Overview

\"This book is a work of walkography: its central source is the use of walking as a mode of inquiry, which is shared through the 'ography' of an account or portrayal that is written, visual, performed. The 'walk' of this walkography is an embodied movement through space, as well as a performance 'drawing', of experience and encounter. This method of inquiry resonates with the fundamental premise of this work, that of migration and diaspora. In 2015, an unprecedented number of migrants and refugees reached Europe. The resultant crisis was the biggest in history, with most migrants entering Europe by sea. Although under different circumstances and different times, this event has synergies with post-War migration, described through the lens of arts-based research in 'Displacement, Identity and Belonging: An Arts-based, Auto/Biographical Portrayal of Ethnicity & Experience' (Sense, 2015). This work is a sequel to that book. It is an extension of the themes of identity, belonging and migration; however, it is also a development and a complete work in and of itself, both embedded in and transcendent of the first book. The books can operate both in tandem and individually as stand-alone works.\"--Back cover.
