Participatory video involves co-researchers using digital or video cameras to create their own videos and present issues according to their sense of what is important. In 2018, the authors—including three co-researchers from refugee backgrounds—collaborated through participatory video research to document views on better access and participation in higher education. Here, we reflect on key ethical issues encountered and share lessons learnt from our project. Our aim is not to discredit this methodology but to contribute new discussions on how participatory video can be used effectively as a form of self-representation to target wide audiences and effect social and policy change. This way, debates on the social and political potentialities of arts-based methods such as participatory video can be expanded. Since deploying participatory video in forced migration research is a relatively novel approach, there is much scope to expand the contours of knowledge on its potential to reach diverse audiences and open up new opportunities for social and political impact.

Abstract
This essay tracks Karl Marx's famous line "They cannot represent themselves; they must be represented" as it travels from a translated epigraph in Edward Said's Orientalism to Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's "Can the Subaltern Speak?" What follows from this minor textual detail is a broader exploration of how "other" languages take place in postcolonial theory—not only Said and Spivak's German, but Abdelfattah Kilito's Italian and Frantz Fanon's Arabic. What is the place of translation in self-representation? How do instances of textual citation complicate the self of self-representation? In the ricochet between citation and translation, language matters not necessarily as a sign of fluency, but as part of a pragmatics of critique, positionality, and ultimately solidarity. Each instance of language-use (German, Italian, Arabic) highlights the potentials of re-use, citation, and re-imagination for consolidating the bonds of anticolonial struggle and a vision of a postcolonial future. Shifting from translation to resonance and from language to voice, the essay ultimately engages the poetic potentials of translation as part of a pragmatics of anticolonial solidarity, integral to and beyond the self at the heart of self-representation.

Today we are all photographers. Self-portraits are everywhere and snapshots of our lives are circulated and shared frenetically on various social media networks. Distinctions are blurred, not only between the private and public spheres but also between professional and amateur photographic practices. This calls for increased knowledge about the performative characteristics of digitised and networked visual communication. What are the limits of automation and what is the potential of virtuality? 'Auto' investigates how the everyday digital photography of our times challenges notions of autobiography, interactivity, and democracy.0

Das Werk bewertet die praktischen Auswirkungen von "Selbstverteidigung" auf internationale Strafverfahren. Es diskutiert vor allem die tatsächlichen Konsequenzen für Verfahren in welchen Angeklagte selbst als Verteidiger auftreten. Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit dem aktuellen Rahmen der Anerkennung, Ausübung und Einschränkung von "Selbstverteidigung" an internationalen Strafrechtstribunalen, einschließlich seiner bedeutenden Entwicklung im Laufe der Jahre. Es vertritt die Position, dass zukünftige internationale Strafverfahren einen anderen Umgang mit der aktiven Beteiligung von Angeklagten an ihrem Verfahren finden müssen, um das allgemeine Recht auf ein faires und zügiges Verfahren zu gewährleisten
