Author: Lee Douglas, Aimee Joyce, Magdalena Buchczyk (eds)
This volume provides a road map for a new field of transdisciplinary Traces Studies. Based on four years of collaborative, interdisciplinary research, it adopts an experimental approach to traces. In a world marked by layered forms of violence - political, economic, social, and environmental - the contributions offer a vital and timely intervention. Instead of searching for lost or silenced histories, they turn to counter-cartography: a radical practice where gaps, absences, and fragments become powerful sites of possibility. In this way, the authors seek to open space for speculation, incompleteness and the possibility of imagining: What might it be like - or feel like - to move through fractured, uncertain worlds guided by traces? How might we reimagine complex social realities and contested terrains through what remains? And what new possibilities might emerge from the act of tracing?
