Mobility and Fantasy in Visual Culture This volume offers a varied and informed series of approaches to questions of mobility—actual, social, virtual and imaginary—as related to visual culture. Contributors address these questions in light of important contemporary issues such as migration; globalisation; transnationality and transcultural difference; art, space and place; new media; fantasy and identity; and the movement across and the transgression of the proprieties of boundaries and borders. The book invites the reader to read across the collection, noting differences or making connections between media and forms and between audiences, critical traditions and practitioners, with a view to developing a more informed understanding of visual culture and its modalities of mobil- ity and fantasy as encouraged by dominant, emergent and radical forms of visual practice.
