Ukraine as a Migration Nexus

Perspectives on Historical and Current Population Movements

Oleksii Chebotarov

Central European University Press, 2025

This OER project examines Ukraine as a central hub in global migration and mobility, offering critical perspectives on both historical and contemporary population movements. The volume brings together case studies focused on the migration dynamics within Ukraine and its surrounding territories, integrating these with broader global migration processes. The authors critically engage with migration studies methodologies, offering fresh, empirical insights into issues like displacement, migration governance, and identity formation in the context of Ukraine's socio-political landscape. By combining historical narratives with modern theoretical approaches, the book explores how migration has shaped and continues to shape, the region’s cultural, political, and social fabric. It provides an innovative contribution to migration research, highlighting the intersection of mobility, belonging, and political contexts, particularly within East Central Europe. This collection challenges traditional migration frameworks and invites a reevaluation of established migration paradigms through the lens of Ukrainian lands.

Unmapping the City

Perspectives of Flatness

Edited by Alfredo Cramerotti

Intellect Books, 2010

Unmapping the City, the first title in the new Intellect series Critical Photography, features photographs shot between 2004 and 2008 in different cities around the world. The images are linked by their shared attempts to define a two-dimensional approach to a three-dimensional built reality, and to address spatial representation, ritual, and urbanity through art. In representing the cityscape through a flat texture of lines and bold colors, the reader is drawn into a conversation about the interplay between reality and its representation. This volume significantly challenges and expands the critical discourse on photography and text and will be of interest to artists, curators, photographers, architects, and critical theorists.
