Description:

Forthcoming essay for a publication based on the 2010 conference in Luxembourg titled: Tourists and Nomads: Amateur Images of Migration.

Type of Research:Article
Additional Information (Publicly available):

Drawing on Zygmunt Bauman's distinction between two types of deterritorialisation, lived by "tourists" (moving out of choice) or by "nomads" (migrating out of economic necessity), the conference seeked to examine how experiences of spatial displacement are being represented and communicated by self-made photographs or films.

The title was deliberately left rather open to encompass all kinds of disciplinary approaches (anthropology, sociology, history, visual communication, gender studies, cultural studies etc) and to allow for archivists and artists who deal with amateur images in the context of migration to feel equally addressed.
