Abstract:

Research on migration has often focused on push and pull factors; and on the
mobilities which drive migration. What has often received less attention, and
what this book recognises, is the importance of the creative activities which
occur when strangers meet and settle for long periods of time in new places.
Contributions consider case studies in Italy, Kyrgyzstan, France, Portugal and
Australia, as well as taking a careful look at the Commonwealth City of
Glasgow. They explore the making and use of literature (for adults and
children) of art installations; translation processes in immigration law;
education materials; and intercultural understanding. The research reveals the
extent to which migration takes a place, and takes different forms, as life is
made anew out of intercultural encounters which have a geographical
specificity. This shift in focus allows a different lens to be placed on
languages, intercultural communication and the activities of migration, and
enables the settings themselves to come under scrutiny. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Language and Intercultural
Communication.
