New TMG Journal Special Issue: Migration in Media Histories

Dear Reader,

We are thrilled to announce that the new TMG Journal issue called 'Migration in Media Histories' is available. Visit our website and read the articles: www.tmgonline.nl.

The latest issue of TMG - Journal for Media History aims to historicize the entanglement of media and migration. Encompassing a wide range of experiences of human mobility, including labour migration, postcolonial migration, refugee conditions, exile, and diaspora, regimes of representation, in/visibility, and audibility, media have been central in the framing of migration as problem, threat, crisis or emergency. Yet (digital) media have also been essential in terms of cultural imagination, and the shared and connected imaginations of diaspora communities.

Moving beyond the persistent ahistorical rhetoric of ‘crisis’ and ‘emergency’, the selection of theme articles presented in this issue acknowledge and foreground the temporal and historical dimensions of migration as a deeply mediatized phenomenon, an experience, and a process.

Edited by Andrea Meuzelaar and Gert Jan Harkema.

With warm greetings from the TMG publishing team and editorial board.
