ABSTRACT
Three invited discussants respond to the book’s chapters in this edited dialogue in a consideration of what it means to locate “displacement” as a conceptual and territorial referent for this volume. Moving beyond the usual framing of displacement in the context of the nation-state, colonialism, and humanitarianism, they discuss the relation of design and displacement, considering design as inherent to the process of displacement, and positioning displacement through the notion of place. Their discussion provides a critique of the received conceptual categories driving the organization of the new histories in the book and suggests strategies for emplacing the book’s discourse.
