La lutte pour l'espace

In this collective volume, we examine the profound entanglement of space and power in local landscapes, in individual lives, and on national and global scenes. The struggles for space mark and define the embodied subjectivities of the self and the other, as well as the material and imagined spaces. We also seek to overcome language barriers, national boundaries, conceptual categories, communities and silences in order to re-read canonical texts and authors while listening to new voices and capturing performances of contested spaces that are newly recognized or inscribed in the collective memory.
