Climates of Migration

Climates of Migration examines through transregional and transhistorical lenses how environmental and migration issues intersect, and how the disinformation and fear generated by the political instrumentalization of these is shaping contemporary societies as evident in media discourse, propaganda, literature, art, visual culture, policy-making and new technologies.

Climates of Migration offers a transcultural, transhistorical, transcolonial and transnational analysis of the interplay between migration and climate change. The emphasis is on the anxiety, disinformation and fear generated by the political instrumentalisation of these issues, and examines how the afterlives of empire are shaping contemporary societies as evident in media discourse, propaganda, literature, art, visual culture, policy-making and new technologies.
