Popis: Migration traverses a number of scales–the geopolitical scale of immigrant numbers, the scale of settlements, and the intimate ontological scale of human agency and subjectivity. It would be mistaken to consider these as separate autonomous entities of scale; indeed, their forces and entanglement underpin the construction of migrant subjectivities. This article, in a special issue of Landscape Research devoted to an analysis of the Immigrant Networks exhibition at the Museo Italiano in Carlton, Melbourne, Australia, aims to draw out a cross-disciplinary exploration of the scale of migration with an emphasis on the architectures of industrial space and embodied spatiality. It does so by responding to the display on the Port Kembla Steelworks in Wollongong, Australia and its post-war migrant labour force within this exhibition. Three authors–in dialogue form–examine the scale of migration and the ways that specific display strategies can limit, expand or connect viewers to migration experiences and migrant subjectivity. This paper asks: to what extent can the meta and distant narrative of migration be brought into overlap and connect with the subjectivity of the viewer via these strategies?.

Abstrakt:Migration traverses a number of scales–the geopolitical scale of immigrant numbers, the scale of settlements, and the intimate ontological scale of human agency and subjectivity. It would be mistaken to consider these as separate autonomous entities of scale; indeed, their forces and entanglement underpin the construction of migrant subjectivities. This article, in a special issue of Landscape Research devoted to an analysis of the Immigrant Networks exhibition at the Museo Italiano in Carlton, Melbourne, Australia, aims to draw out a cross-disciplinary exploration of the scale of migration with an emphasis on the architectures of industrial space and embodied spatiality. It does so by responding to the display on the Port Kembla Steelworks in Wollongong, Australia and its post-war migrant labour force within this exhibition. Three authors–in dialogue form–examine the scale of migration and the ways that specific display strategies can limit, expand or connect viewers to migration experiences and migrant subjectivity. This paper asks: to what extent can the meta and distant narrative of migration be brought into overlap and connect with the subjectivity of the viewer via these strategies?.
