Omid Tofighian Ordre des livres (chronologique)

    L'œuvre du Dr. Omid Tofighian entrelace de manière complexe la philosophie avec des intérêts pour la rhétorique, la religion et la culture populaire. Son engagement envers le transnationalisme, le déplacement et la discrimination informe profondément ses contributions aux projets artistiques et culturels communautaires, en particulier auprès des réfugiés et des jeunes. Les publications de Tofighian explorent en profondeur l'intersection de l'enquête philosophique et des problèmes sociétaux. Par son travail de traduction, il élargit également l'accès aux voix d'autres écrivains.

      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.
