The Garage Journal’s Editors
Meaning a sacred or holy place, and a place of refuge or safety, the concept of sanctuary has roots in Abrahamic and other religions. It conveys the idea of hospitality toward strangers and the provision of protection for fugitives. ‘Sanctuary’ is a condition of ambivalence and hybridity insofar as, when in a sanctuary, the subject becomes aware of their own exclusion, albeit gaining safety and protection. It is also a temporal exclusion—or an interruption—since the subject is cognizant of their in-between status vis-à-vis the law, tradition, and everyday practice. In postcolonial discourse, the subject should reclaim and re-gain visibility, agency, and power; however, ongoing ghettoization of subjectivities continues to be evident. Hybridity becomes a strategy for self-determination, and ambivalence secures privacy and collaboration. Therefore, enactments of sanctuary supply acts of citizenship to irregularized subjects, which is why contributors to the issue should be critically concerned with structural (in)justices.
For more information on the planned issue, please visit our website. Proposals for contributions are due on September 15, 2021.
