But, beyond depicting migration, is it possible for migrant literature to be a force of movement itself? \u003ci\u003ePoetics of the Migrant \u003c\/i\u003ecalls upon the philosophy of movement and a counter-history of migration to invent a theory and method for analysing migrant literature. The text uncovers patterns of movement that migrant texts enact and create - in other words, a movement-oriented poetics. \u003ci\u003ePoetics of the Migrant\u003c\/i\u003e understands movement as the defining force of human history; and the migrant is the primary figure of cultural and political transformation. Migrant literature makes it possible to transform how we process and interpret social history through social motion. Perhaps, from here, we can imagine a different world: one where movement and migrancy are legible and thinkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eKevin Potter is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of English and American Studies at the University of Vienna, working in the broad domains of literary studies and critical theory.
