>Contemporary anxieties about terrorism in the mainstream media and
>politics have clearly articulated the war against terrorism and the
>struggle for global security to the control of immigration, as well as
>the criminalisation of Islam. As A. Sivanandan has argued in a recent
>article, 'the war on asylum and the war on terror [...] have converged
>to produce a racism which cannot tell a settler from an immigrant, an
>immigrant from an asylum speaker, an asylum speaker from a Muslim, a
>Muslim from a terrorist'.  In response to the conflation of discourses
>of counter-terrorism, global security and the control of migration, this
>conference invites papers from any area of the humanities and the social
>sciences that are related to the following topics:
>
>
>*     Terrorism and Migration in Literature, Film, Visual Art and Music
>
>*     Histories of migration, immigration law and political sovereignty
>
>*     Migration, Terrorism and the State of Emergency
>
>*     Ethnographies of migration and terrorism
>
>*     Terrorism, Migration and the Public Sphere
>
>*     Asylum, Imperialism and War
>
>
>Confirmed Speakers include: Margaret Scanlan, Elleke Boehmer, Ranjana
>Khanna, David Glover and Matthew Gibney.
