  • Raft of Incoming, A
    Greta Adorni was born in Milan where she graduated in Philosophy and continued her studies with an MA in Curatorial Practices at the Brera Academy. At Birkbeck, she completed her MA in History of Art, which gave her the opportunity to combine philosophical theoretical frameworks with memory and trauma studies. This article is the result of her MA dissertation [email protected] / __________________________________________ This article intends to look at the ways in which three works of art have attempted to deal with the issue of representation and mediation of the refugee crisis. 1 Rather than delving into historical or political discourses surrounding this humanitarian crisis, this article will analyse three works of contemporary art: Fuocoammare (Gianfranco Rosi, 2016), Raft of Lampedusa (Jason deCaires Taylor, 2016) and Incoming (Richard Mosse, 2017) mostly through the spectrum of Professor at UNSW National Institute for Experimental Arts and curator Jill Bennett’s theory of ‘empathic vision’ and ‘transactive art’. Political Philosopher Giorgio Agamben’s notions ‘bare life’ and the ‘Muselmann’ will also be regarded as crucial to an empathic visual engagement with art. These theories have the purpose of injecting new approaches to the idea of ‘breathing through the medium’ as a way of activating representations, and thereby maintaining the meaningfulness of representations of refugees. The three works were selected for their alternative approach to the representation and utilization of the art medium. I will analyse Incoming, a documentary made by Richard Mosse in collaboration with Ben Frost and Trevor Tweeten and screened for the first time at the Curve Gallery, at the Barbican Centre in London from 15 February to 23 April 2017.

  • Refugee Filmmaking
    Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media no. 18, 2019, pp. 3–11 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33178/alpha.18.01 Refugee Filmmaking Editorial Stephanie Hemelryk Donald, Kaya Davies Hayon, and Lucia Sorbera Figure 1: Production still taken for Mare Nostrum (Rana Kazkaz and Anas Khalaf, 2016). Georges Films, Synéastes Film. Photo credit: Eric Devin. The origins of this issue of Alphaville lie in collaborations between the Forced Migration Research Network (UNSW – University of New South Wales) and the Refugee Council of Australia, and in the inspiration afforded us by international colleagues and guests to Sydney (Fadma Aït Mous), Liverpool (Dennis Del Favero) and Lincoln (Hoda Afshar) universities. We have benefited from these academic alliances and invitations, but we also embrace the widest notion of hospitality, whereby the moment of arrival, the request for assistance and shelter, and subsequent decisions over citizenship and long-term residency are located in a moral environment of welcome and mutual learning. We trace and acknowledge our intellectual relationships here in so far as they have allowed us to articulate an emerging and shared recognition that refugee lived experience stands as the barometer for political civility and social health in our time. © Stephanie Hemelryk Donald, Kaya Davies Hayon, and Lucia Sorbera This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License 4 The challenge of the global collapse into conflict and authoritarianism is stark, and the work of refugee filmmakers and documentarists—and indeed those who use scholarship to draw attention to their efforts—is serious and important. This curated collection of essays, films, reflections and reviews seeks to understand the nature and extent of refugee filmmaking today, and to determine who counts as a refugee filmmaker and why.

    Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media no. 17, 2019, pp. 12–23 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33178/alpha.18.02 Telephone Calls in Gianfranco Rosi’s Fire at Sea (Fuocoammare, 2016) Emma Wilson Abstract: The Hollywood Reporter feature on Gianfranco Rosi’s Fire at Sea (Fuocoammare, 2016) reads: “Where journalism leaves off, Fire at Sea begins”. The director spent months living alone on Lampedusa looking for ways to film the current refugee tragedy in the Mediterranean. The poetic film that he made (and that won the Golden Bear at Berlin) is an indirect reckoning with its subject, and, I argue no less political for this. Referring to the work of Adriana Cavarero, Christina Sharpe, Anne Dufourmantelle and Judith Butler, this article explores the uses of recorded telephone calls and other transmitted voices and songs in the film. These calls and voices offer forms of appeal and aural, non-visual, but bodily, affective traces. The film emphasises the political importance of listening, and of attending to these calls and voices, envisaging a mesh of connectedness, of threads of human attachment. You don’t know who’s calling or what you are going to be called upon to do, and still, you are lending your ear, giving something up, receiving an order. It is a question of answerability. (Ronell 2) (1) On 30 March 2016, a man in the Marconi district in Rome, Gianni Brusadelli, was woken at six in the morning by telephone calls, voices speaking in English and French, over the sounds of the wind and a boat motor.

    1 Mediterranean Aesthetics and the Visual Culture of African Migration in Contemporary Italy Diego Alejandro Atehortúa “We have been sailing for years We’ve been traveling for years We’ve been drowning for years.” -Dagmawi Yimer, Asmat, 2015 Coinciding with the Information Age and post-Cold War globalization, a proliferation of images showing humans from Africa embarking on turbulent and often deadly maritime crossings, have transformed a liquid Mediterranean Sea into a necropolitical borderland imbued with competing symbols and sensibilities regarding who and what constitute Italy’s Mediterranean imaginary.1 How then, does a hegemonic and romanticized image of the Mediterranean––created partly by the prevailing discourse of modern/colonial aesthetics and perpetuated by an increasing nationalist rhetoric––come under threat when probing into the notion of blackness and Italy’s geopolitical centrality in Mediterranean migration?2 In 2017, photographs and videos showing the illegal auctioning of people in North Africa, a vital intermediary region for migrants and refugees entering the European Union via the Italian peninsula and its surrounding islands like Lampedusa, provoke considering a contemporary and historical Mediterranean dimension to Saidiya Hartman’s theorization of the “afterlife of 1Here, ‘imaginary’ follows Benedict Anderson’s understanding of a nation as an “imagined political community,” in order to consider the Mediterranean Sea’s geopolitical and symbolic importance for the making of Italy’s own construction of a nation. See Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism (London, New York: Verso, 1983), 6. The relationship between the making of an Italian state and the question of race and racism has been traced since the Unification period during the late nineteenth century and the first World War in the early twentieth century by Rhiannon Welch in Vital Subjects: Race and Biopolitics in Italy (Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, 2016).
