Inhaltsangabe

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.
