    Beyond the spectacle of ‘refugee crisis’: Multi-directional memories of migration in contemporary essay film

    Abstract: This article examines contemporary essay films that concern refugee im/mobilities across the Mediterranean Sea. In the last few decades, the Mediterranean has been transformed into a fatal space for those attempting to cross the sea without documents. The dominant Eurocentric perspective reductively views these refugee and migrant crossings as violations of European borders. Such limited frameworks feed into the category of ‘crisis’, which demands immediate intervention and top-down governmental solutions, such as the militarization of borders. In this article, I explore essay films that counter and disrupt the ‘crisis’ framework and the sense of urgency and tragedy it evokes: Havarie (2016), a slow-form documentary by Philip Scheffner, and  The Leopard (2007), a dance film by Isaac Julien. Drawing on recent theories of multi-directional memory, I investigate the ways in which these films establish mnemonic connections across diverse experiences of displacement, including those produced by European colonialism, transatlantic slavery and postcolonial conflict.

    Nowhere at ease: Listening to Syrian refugee trauma in Christy Lefteri’s The Beekeeper of Aleppo (2019)

    Abstract: The ongoing Syrian civil war has inflicted wounds on the minds and bodies of countless Syrians, and it continues to influence the contemporary global agenda. The purpose of this article is to examine how refugee trauma is depicted at the individual level, and how Syrian refugees attempt to survive it, in Christy Lefteri’s The Beekeeper of Aleppo (2019). This best-selling novel tells a story of the effects of war by following the lives of a bereaved Syrian couple as they make their way through Turkey and Greece to the United Kingdom. We show how Lefteri’s fictionalised portraits of traumatised refugees coincide with the academic literature on trauma. At the same time, we question the applicability of Eurocentric trauma theory to their cases. We argue that refugee trauma presents itself in distinctive ways and embodies a dynamic texture as a result of refugees’ vulnerability and marginalisation in broader society, which in turn prompts them to employ various coping mechanisms in their struggle for survival.

    The fall of a city: Refugees, exodus and exile in Ernest Hemingway’s Istanbul, 1922

    Abstract: Ernest Hemingway arrived in Istanbul on 30 September 1922 to cover the end of the Greek–Turkish War for the Toronto Star. From late October to mid-November 1922, Hemingway wrote 20 articles about the last days of the war and the re-constellation of political legitimacy in the region. There are four distinguishing features of Hemingway’s reports from Constantinople. First, they provided an eloquent depiction of the city, suggesting the charm and squalor of old ‘Constan’ for the young writer. The second was a clear expectation of a ‘second disaster’, which was assumed to be a replica of Smyrna. Hemingway clearly observed the fears of non-Muslims and foreigners in the city, who were panicking over possible new massacres and pillage. Third, Hemingway quickly realized that the exodus of people – the desperate flight of Christian refugees – and Turkification of the country would be his main subject. His repeated emphasis on refugees permanent loss of a home is reminiscent of Hannah Arendt’s famous essay ‘We Refugees’, as well as a precursor to Agamben’s point that refugees are reduced to ‘bare life’. Lastly, his prose relied on irony and cynicism, as a cover for his disappointment and shame for humanity and modern civilization. Juxtaposing his writing with contemporary local accounts, I intend to situate his witnessing into the larger historiography of ‘Armistice Istanbul’ and the homogenization policies of the winning Turkish nationalist leadership. Hemingway’s critique of (homogeneous) nation-state formation after the war and the favourable involvement of the Allied countries and humanitarian agencies in the mass production of refugees was quite exceptional and ahead of his times.

    Training in Deontological Requirements of Interpreters Dealing with Refugees: International Protection as an Opportunity for Social Entrepreneurship in Translation and Interpreting Studies in Spain

    Abstract: Having noted the entrepreneurial reluctance of graduates in general and T & I graduates in particular in Spain, we propose social entrepreneurship in the field of international protection and refugees as a potentially viable employment opportunity. The ever-growing number of asylum seekers arriving in Spain have a recognised right to access translation and interpreting services, and we therefore advocate the training of interpreters to operate in asylum scenarios and meet the specific deontological requirements involved therein. Future professionals need to be equipped with all the tools necessary to be able to handle the different challenges that may arise in such situations. To this end, we present the results of a series of interviews conducted with refugee reception organisations in the province of Seville, the capital of Andalusia which is one of the regions in the EU which handles the highest number of immigrant arrivals. The situations experienced in these organizations may reflect the state of the question in the asylum field. We found that the application of professional ethics in real-case situations is indeed very often deficient, and its inclusion in training syllabuses in the country could help address this social need.

    Rethinking the multiple meanings of the Mediterranean through Lawrence Osborne’s Beautiful Animals (2017)

    Abstract: Lawrence Osborne’s Beautiful Animals (2017) thematizes the arrival of refugees on Europe’s shores and the division of Europe into core and peripheral regions. The psychological thriller tells the story of two young wealthy white women whose daily routines of swimming and sunbathing are interrupted when they meet a Syrian refugee on a secluded beach. In this article, I argue that the novel overlays geographies of forced migration with those of Greek national history, myth, travel, crime, and violence. The murder committed on a Greek island compels readers to examine what might be considered the larger ‘crimes’ of Europe – exclusionary refugee policies, the meddling in Greek affairs, and the legacies of colonialism and imperialism. In doing so, the novel asks us to rethink the multiple meanings of the Mediterranean as holiday destination, deadly outer border, and Southern Other, both intra- and extra-European at the same time.

    On Jean-Luc Godard, Jean Genet and representing the Palestinians

    Abstract: In July 2014, the people who took part to the banned demonstration in Paris against the intervention of the Israeli Defence Forces in Gaza were expressing their support of a besieged people. However, this very support was also an excuse to demonstrate their religious and ethnic allegiances as well as their political opinions. The use of the Palestinian struggle for recognition as a tool in domestic political debates is not a recent trend in French political culture: it can be traced back to 1968 when the Palestinian cause was discovered in the aftermath of the Six-Day War. A pioneer of the Palestinian cause, Jean-Luc Godard, was recently accused of anti-Semitism when he was considered for a lifetime achievement award at the Oscars in 2010. The same year, in Marseille, a conference celebrating the hundredth anniversary of Jean Genet’s birth was almost cancelled because it could supposedly have caused problems of public safety. Long after their works on this topic came out, both authors’ positions regarding the Israeli–Palestinian conflict are still considered extremely controversial. This article explores the speeches of both men regarding movements of Palestinian resistance after they visited refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon in the 1970s and the 1980s. It argues that, as fiery anti-Zionists, Jean Genet and Jean-Luc Godard unconsciously create a mythology of Palestinian struggle for recognition and independence in order to protest against its representation in the mass media of capitalistic societies.

    Asylum Seekers’ and Refugees’ Decision-Making in Transit in Indonesia : The Need for In-depth and Longitudinal Research
    Brill ; 2019

    Abstract: Asylum seekers and refugees currently living in Indonesia tend to see Indonesia as a transit rather than a destination country, despite the fact that their stays are increasing in length. Based on contact with Muhamad (not his real name), a young refugee from Iran currently residing in Indonesia whose adjustment and development I observed over four years, I illustrate the changing priorities in his decision-making, the constant flux of circumstances and context, and the extreme complexity of primary and secondary factors that come into play in planning for the future. Combining a macro perspective with a case study, in which I present excerpts from several life-story interviews, helps to exemplify these generic migratory challenges and distil a range of relevant parameters that influence the decision-making of asylum seekers and refugees in transit. A (self-)critical reflection on ethical and methodological challenges underpins my analysis and argument, not least because politicians and policymakers are increasingly interested in influencing migratory decision-making processes to gain political advantage. Of particular interest in my analysis is the role of Australia’s deterrence policies in asylum seekers’ decision-making. Despite the ethical challenges associated with studying migratory decision-making—as public knowledge of migration strategies can also suppress aspirations of mobility—I argue for more in-depth and longitudinal research. At the very least, this is because more intensive, yet considerate studies of decision-making will help us to take seriously the migratory aspirations of people with limited choices.
