Abstract

This text presents the monographic issue "Migrants and Refugees. Sociopolitical and visual approaches in contemporary documentary". Diverse migratory experiences are configuring new forms of belonging and of reconfiguration of identities in the international context. The articles in this issue are limited to the European context, and aim to account for the specificity of this continent from three main dimensions: a critical review of the topics surrounding migration, an analysis of the impact of the itineraries of migrants and/or refugees on destination places, and the new forms of construction of social visibility for displaced subjectivities. These axes are explored through the analyses of documentary films that invite reflection on the ethical, sociopolitical and aesthetic challenges of an art produced as a testimony of displaced and exiled people. Documentary approaches to the migrant and refugee experience can contribute to improving research, theoretical discourse, and practices of academic activism. The issue includes contributions by Isolina Ballesteros; Mar Binimelis-Adell and Miguel Fernández Labayen; David Coury; Trinidad Vicente-Torrado, Encarnación la Spina and Gorka Urrutia; Concepción Maiztegui, Eztizen Esesumaga and Itziar Gandarias; Maria Marcos and Pablo Castro de Castro; and Miren Gutierrez. In addition, in the Papeles Críticos section, texts by María Pilar Rodríguez, María Marcos and Fernando Bayón are published.
