Positionierungen. Kritische Antworten auf die ‚Flüchtlingskrise‘ in Kunst und Literatur // Taking Positions on the ‘Refugee Crisis’: Critical Responses in Art and Literature

The (bilingual) 66th issue of FKW examines a range of artistic interventions in European ‘refugee crisis’ rhetoric from the fields of literature, visual art, film, and theatre and reflects on the ways in which these art-works do – or do not – succeed in providing new grammars and alternative imaginations of the present.
