Omid Tofighian

    Dr. Omids Tofighians Werk verknüpft auf komplexe Weise Philosophie mit Rhetorik, Religion und Populärkultur. Sein Engagement für Transnationalismus, Vertreibung und Diskriminierung prägt seine Beiträge zu gemeinschaftlichen Kunst- und Kulturprojekten, insbesondere mit Geflüchteten und jungen Menschen. Tofighians Veröffentlichungen befassen sich tiefgreifend mit der Schnittstelle von philosophischer Forschung und gesellschaftlichen Fragen. Durch seine Übersetzungsarbeit erweitert er auch den Zugang zu den Stimmen anderer Autoren.

      In 2013, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani sought asylum in Australia but was instead illegally imprisoned in the country's most notorious detention centre on Manus Island. This book is the result.Boochani spent nearly five years typing passages of this book one text at a time from a secret mobile phone in prison. Compiled and translated from Farsi, they form an incredible story of how escaping political persecution in Iran, he ended up trapped as a stateless person. This vivid, gripping portrait of his years of incarceration and exile shines devastating light on the fates of so many people, as borders close around the world.
