As the volume's authors think about physical and imaginative crossings, and the traversals and transactions of knowledge they entail, the book itself crosses and complicates disciplinary and formal boundaries and the barriers between critical and creative intervention. Crucially, it brings together voices and forms emerging out of the experience of dislocation with responses to the encounters it generates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume's discussions begin in the early modern world, and move freely across periods to dwell on the urgent experience of migrancy in our own times, while also responding to an urgent need to connect the local with the global experience of migrant knowledge and migrant aesthetics. \u003ci\u003eCrossings\u003c\/i\u003e stakes the claim that creative art, backed by humanities-based thinking, can meet the imaginative and ethical demands that the unknowable reality of mass displacement places on us, in a way that governments, institutions, and public discourse have calamitously failed to do. But aesthetic practice itself needs to be re-positioned if it is to rise to these political and human challenges, negotiating the points of friction between its own predilections and the matter of migration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCrossings\u003c\/i\u003e offers \"migrant forms\" - art about migration, objects from migrant life shaped into artifacts, and migrant self-expressions - as the means of this imaginative re-orientation, and a tool for activating a radical alternative to economic models of social benefit\u003ci\u003e. Crossings\u003c\/i\u003e takes its place in an emergent ecology of migrant forms, both speaking to and participating in that ecology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 562\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.14 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 02, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53248539197747,"sku":"9781685712808","price":47.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/KLl17yrNGz9781685712808.webp?v=1776311812","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/crossings-migrant-knowledges-migrant-forms-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
