This book calls for an investigation of the 'borderlands of narrativity' - the complex and culturally productive area where the symbolic form of narrative meets other symbolic logics, such as data(base), play, spectacle, or ritual. It opens up a conversation about the 'beyond' of narrative, about the myriad constellations in which narrativity interlaces with, rubs against, or morphs into the principles of other forms. To conceptualize these borderlands, the book introduces the notion of "narrative liminality," which the 16 articles utilize to engage literature, popular culture, digital technology, historical artifacts, and other kinds of texts from a time span of close to 200 years.

Since the advent of the Global War on Terror, the world has witnessed the continuation of terrorist activity under the banner of Salafi Jihad. With military action proving insufficient to defeat the propagators of the ideology, attention has turned to the ideology itself. Understanding the narratives that constitute this ideology and the systems in place that help propagate it is crucial to defeating it. Analysis brings to light elements that arguably constitute a Jihadist master narrative as well as support structures that help perpetuate key underlying messages of this master narrative. Successful counter-narratives should focus on rolling back and containing Jihadist narratives whilst simultaneously highlighting the values and attitudes of democratic, free societies. ; Publisher PDF

This article explores the manner in which culturally prevalent narratives lead us not only to interpret facts in a particular way but also to generate those very facts through the acts we perform in consonance with these narratives.
Narratives of Norrköping, the 3rd edition of the REMS publication, aims to be exactly as the title suggests: a collection of narratives from a spectrum of different people residing in our city of Norrköping. As with previous editions, this magazine has been created by 1st year students of the Ethnic and Migration Studies Master's programme of Linköping University. An eclectic mix of people in their own right, the authors of the following texts have a hugely diverse and rich background of different cultures and narratives. They came together here in Norrköping to learn more about the ever more important field of migration and ethnicity. An interdisciplinary and transformative course like Ethnic and Migration Studies constantly shifts the world view of the students studying it. From the way we look at political systems, to how minorities and refugees are treated; analysing infinitely different aspects of society can only lead us to change how we associate with the city around us. Norrköping is the city that now the majority of us call home, and it was a pleasure to come together to look outwards into the community to create this work. The large variety of different authors brought together can be seen in the writing and design styles, which are individual to the authors. Both a mix of academic and journalistic styles, we hope that the reader can appreciate the personal touch of each of the pieces. Authors aside, we would also like to give special thanks to the support and teachings of the staff of REMESO, and we must be particularly grateful to the fellow local residents who have been interviewed and have been willing to tell their story to a group of over enthusiastic students. Without them, there would be no stories to tell, and equally no community around us. We hope that the following articles will provide some insight into the lives of more of the people around us, the city of Norrköping itself, and more of a taste of the forever enriching and changing culture surrounding us. Special thanks to the following people who went above and beyond to give their time, also to those who preferred to stay anonymous: Asher Goldstein, Caroline Bielkhammar, Casey Maier, Erik Stenström, Hammam Skaik, Helena Balthammar, Helene Hedebris, Lars Stjernkvist, Mia Sköld, Roberto Felizia, Sahar Burhan, Samantha McCorkell, Yaghia Narsisian, Zoran Slavnic Ethnic and Migration Studies (EMS), class of 2018

__Absttract__ Fragmentation', 'pluralism', 'constitutionalisation' and 'global administrative law' are among the most dominant narratives of international legal order at present. Each narrative makes a descriptive claim about the current state of the international legal order, and outlines a normative vision for this order. Yet we must not lose sight of the conflicts between, and the contingency of these, and other narratives. This article seeks to recover both conflicts and contingency by showing how each may be used to explain a given event: the inauguration of a bilateral civil nuclear cooperation between the United State and India, better known as the 'India-US nuclear deal'. I explain how the four narratives may be, and were, co-opted at different times to justify or critique the 'deal'. This exercise serve two purposes: the application of four narratives reveal the various facets of the deal, and by its example the deal illuminates the stakes attached to each of the four narratives. In a final section, I reflect on why these four narratives enjoy their influential status in international legal scholarship.
