Ex-Centric Migrations examines cinematic, literary, and musical representations of migrants and migration in the Western Mediterranean in French, Arabic, and Spanish works. Focusing primarily on clandestine sea crossings, Hakim Abderrezak shows that, despite labor and linguistic ties with the colonizer, migrants from the Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia) no longer systematically target France as a destination, but instead aspire toward other European countries, notably Spain and Italy. The author’s analysis reveals that the films, novels, and songs of Mediterranean artists run contrary to mass-media coverage and conservative political discourse. His study brings a nuanced vision and expert analysis to the sensationalism and biased reportage of such events as Mediterranean maritime tragedies.


RUS

В этой книге рассматриваются представления о мигрантах в западном Средиземноморье, выраженные в кинематографе, литературных и музыкальных текстах. Хаким Абдеррезак показывает, как фильмы, романы и песни современных средиземноморских авторов противоречат материалам европейских СМИ и консервативному политическому дискурсу. Он предлагает новый взгляд на репортажи о трагедиях, связанных с мигрантами — таких, как массовая гибель беженцев в Средиземном море.
