- Reframing Migration is a monograph based on five years of research into the strategies of representation of migration across different media. The research included extensive field work conducted on the island of Lampedusa, one of the most important destinations of the current diaspora from the African Continent towards Europe. The book offers an ambitious reframing of the discourse around migration through the analysis of more than twenty activists and art works, that, as the book argues, have become a platform for subverting the dominant narrative of migration in order to generate a vital form of political dissent.
