The papers in this volume were originally presented at The Nomadic Image, the seventh edition of the Transdisciplinary Imaging Conference series, held at the University of Central Asia’s Naryn campus.
The theme of nomadism was well suited to the conference location in Kyrgyzstan, a Central Asian republic where equestrian nomadism remains a powerful culture signifier. According to Deleuze and Guattari, the nomad pursues pure lines of flight across smooth, continually shifting spaces that stand in opposition to the striated, enclosed world of the settled state.
We invite the reader to explore the pure lines of intellectual flight pursued by the scholars and creative practitioners whose diverse and provocative papers appear in this volume, offering stimulating contrasts and unexpected connections.
