Visual Power, Representation and Migration Law
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-1-4744-5998-3 (ISBN)
This book analyses the dominant imagery related to migration and illustrates how framing of migrants as subjects viewed through the lens of the host gaze positions them for exclusion and marginalisation. It focuses on comparative sources derived from public and media visual campaigns focusing on migration issues. It illustrates how the ethical gap that the host-centric way of looking creates results in the growing suspicion of the migrant and how this ethical gap broadens and impacts on the legal exclusion of migrants as legal subjects.
Dorota Anna Gozdecka is a Professor at the University of Helsinki. She specialises in topics of othering and exclusion particularly in the area of human rights, and is the author of Rights, Religious Pluralism and the Recognition of Difference: Off the Scales of Justice (2016).
