Mobility and Subalternity in Enchanted Session Description: Media and geography meet at the body; sometimes in representation, sometimes nonrepresentationally. In this session we seek to explore ontological and epistemological intersections of the body, media and geography to discuss how the stories, ideas and concepts revealed through different media forms or interactions can challenge, create and/or inform different social and geographical imaginations.
