Cover -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- 1 Europe - is it in motion? -- 2 The unprecedented problem -- 3 Thinking across spaces -- 4 From spaces of identity to mental spaces -- 5 Banal transnationalism, or the demystification of elsewhere -- 6 Always a question of a greeting -- 7 Parting from phantoms -- 8 Whoever looks always finds -- 9 Above the countries -- References -- Index.
Summary: Transnationalism, Migration and the Challenge to Europe: The Enlargement of Meaning puts forward an alternative outline for addressing migration in a European context. Moving beyond the agenda of identity politics, the book addresses possibilities more related to the experiential and existential dimensions of migratory - and importantly, post-migratory lives. Examining the fundamental and radical argument that migrants should be regarded not as a problematical category, but rather as opening up new cultural and imaginative channels for those living in Europe, the book draws on extensive empirical work undertaken over the past ten years.
