Explanation of the book
The first section of this book, “Place, Administration, and Locality,” opens a critical discussion on key conceptual dimensions, unveiling new terms related to refugees, migration, and diaspora studies. Julie Petit’s contribution, “Mapping Violence, Displacement, and Refugee Camps (Palestine and Iraq),” explains the interconnectedness between ethnic and sectarian imaginaries of the Middle East and contemporary displacement in Palestine and Iraq. Her research analyzes the reconfiguration of human space and new spatial forms of containment that produce and reproduce identity and contribute to resistance to displacement. Today, a new discourse is emerging related to the absence of new camps in the Levant region, which calls for the creation of refugee gathering points, or traps for their absorption, instead of camps. New techniques of displacement and human spaces have been invented in order to empty the region’s refugee crisis of its content.
