Rethinking Life at the Margins

<p>Experimenting with new ways of looking at the contexts subjects processes and multiple political stances that make up life at the margins this book provides a novel source for a critical rethinking of marginalisation. Drawing on post-colonialism and critical assemblage thinking the rich ethnographic works presented in the book trace the assemblage of marginality in multiple case-studies encompassing the Global North and South. These works are united by the approach developed in the book characterised by the refusal of a priori definitions and by a post-human and grounded take on the assemblage of life. The result is a nuanced attention to the potential expressed by everyday articulations and a commitment to produce a processual vitalist and non-normative cultural politics of the margins. The reader will find in this book unique challenges to accepted and authoritative thinking and provides new insights into researching life at the margins.</p>
