Cartographies of Exile

<p>This volume investigates the relationship between exile - understood broadly to include external and internal exile diaspora deterritorialization reterritorialization expatriation migrants refugees nomads and the forcibly 'disappeared' - and map-making. Mapping is a certain science that enables emplacement and facilitates movement; yet it is also an aesthetic project that draws on a heightened awareness of space and place memory and political and historical imaginaries. This book reveals the overwhelming importance of agency in exile that map-making facilitates and the epistemological displacement that map-making depends upon to build the known world.</p>
