Abstract:
The centrality of narrative analysis in the investigation of social
processes and practices has become an established fact in the human
sciences. The focus on narrative and displacement in this volume provides a
starting point for a reflection on current issues in narrative theory as
well as a timely interrogation of the role of narrative in illuminating
social phenomena that are central to modernity, such as migration and
displacement.
At the centre of the analyses presented in this book are stories that are
ignored, silenced and othered by contemporary public discourses on
displacement, migration and settlement. Drawing on insights from narrative
theory, linguistic ethnography, sociolinguistics and cultural studies,
contributors to the volume examine both how migrants, refugees, asylum
seekers and marginalized minorities position themselves through narrative
practices and how they are positioned in institutional and official narratives.
