Borderlands: The edges of Europe [Conference abstract] by Leonardi, Paola

“…Borderlands: the edges of Europe (Paola Leonardi) "Borderlands: The edges of Europe" is a photographic project that critically re-maps the land borders of the European Union, proposing a new representation that focuses on the people who inhabit the border zones, rather than political treaties and physical boundaries decided by central powers. Over the past 10 years I have walked along the land borders of Europe, photographing extensively and asking myself the question “Where does Europe end? …”

Exploring accountability: memory, object, metaphor and common sense by Mustafa, Hasri

“…Research limitations/implications The paper aligns with the concerns of McPhail et al. (2004) and calls for engagement in research projects on accounting and accountability related to theology but with an attempt to theorise the “engagement” within the components of human limitation and intelligence which require a narrative from the social and collective dimensions of the present and in the past. Practical implications By using various objects as symbol, metaphor and memory, such as “counter”, “branch”, “advertising” and “food”, the paper encourages readers to understand the objects as temporalities brought into being by a common sense consciousness and within a historical Malay context; one in which Malaysia is a Muslim society and a by-product of colonialism. …”
