Fluchtraum Europa

With its interdisciplinary character, this volume provides a multifaceted overview of flight, refuge and displacement in the context of Europe, spanning the period from antiquity to the present. Its basic chapters illuminate the legal background to the subject and refer to historical discourse connections. By means of historical case studies and the use of the topic of flight in literature and film, the contributions the book contains sketch the contours of Europe as a space of flight and refuge and the research perspectives associated with it.
