Indeed, the mediation of  migration as a crisis has worked to shore up various forms of  militarized surveillance, humanitarian response, legislative action, and  affective investment. Bridging academic inquiry and artistic and activist practice, the essays, documents, and artworks gathered in Moving Images  interrogate the mediation of migration and refugeeism in the  contemporary European conjuncture, asking how images, discourses, and  data are involved in shaping the visions and experience of migration in  increasingly global contexts. The book, which emerges out a series of conferences and collaborations,  examines (through forms of academic and artistic inquiry) the mediation  of migration as crisis in Europe, leading up to and following the events  of 2015-16. It examines the visual regime, the politics of making, the  surveillance regimes, news reportage, curatorial practices,  counterforensics, activist interventions that constitute the contested  field of representation of migration and migratory bodies   The book includes contributions by Sandro Mezzadra, Allan deSouza, Zineb Sedira, Tyler Morgenstern, Bishnupriya Ghosh, Ian Alan Paul, Charles Heller &#38; Lorenzo Pezzani, Lonnie van Brummelen &#38; Siebren de Haan, Thomas Nail, Thomas Keenan &#38; Sohrab Mohebbi, Banu Cennetoglu, Abdessamad el Montassir, Veronika Zablotsky, Farah Atoui, Krista Lynes, Suzana Milevskaa, Sophia Zachariadi, and LGBTQIA+ Refugees in Greece. &#160;&#160;
