Art as an Interface of Law and Justice: Affirmation, Disturbance, Disruption (Hart Publishing, 2021) looks at the way in which the 'call for justice' is portrayed through art and presents a wide range of texts from film to theatre to essays and novels to interrogate the law. Such calls may have their positive connotations, but throughout history most have caused annoyance. Art is very well suited to deal with such annoyance, or to provoke it. Frans-Willem Korsten speaks with Pierre d'Alancaisez about art that attempts to support - or disturb - law in pursuit of justice. He discusses Milo Rau's The Congo Tribunal, Valeria Luiselli's novel Lost Children Archive, the practice of Forensic Architecture, and Nicolas Winding Refn's film Only God Forgives. Through art's interface, impasses are addressed, new laws are made imaginable, the span of systems of laws is explored, and the differences in what people consider to be just are brought to light. Frans-Willem Korsten holds the chair in “Literature and Society” at the Erasmus School of Philosophy and works at the Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society in the Netherlands. Pierre d'Alancaisez is a contemporary art curator, cultural strategist, researcher. Sometime scientist, financial services professional. Learn more about your ad choices.

What drives storytelling? What is the story—who gets to tell it—and how? In a twist on the American road trip genre, Valeria Luiselli’s Lost Children Archive explores these tensions. As an artist couple and their children embark on trip from New York to Arizona, wrestling with their family’s crisis, a bigger one comes to them through the car radio: that of the tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American and Mexican children arriving in the U.S. without papers. Author Valeria Luiselli was born in Mexico City and grew up in South Korea, South Africa and India. She was only able to write her new novel, she tells us, after writing a work of non-fiction first, Tell Me How It Ends. That book, a polemic about the US-Mexico border, is structured around the 40 questions that she translated and asked undocumented children facing deportation as a volunteer court translator. After Valeria’s talk about these two works she’s joined by Florangela Davila, news director at the Seattle-Tacoma NPR station, KNKX, for a Q&A. This event took place at Benaroya Hall in April of 2019.

Front Row has announced Valeria Luiselli the winner of the 2020 Rathbones Folio book prize for her novel Lost Children Archive and John Wilson speaks live to Valeria from her home in New York. This Tuesday sees the UK launch of Disney+, the new television streaming service from the second largest media company in the world. As well as all their classic releases, the service will include access to the full Star Wars franchise, the Marvel and Pixar back catalogues and National Geographic programming. Adam Satariano, technology correspondent for The New York Times, and TV critic Julia Raeside discuss the impact Disney+ is likely to have on the UK's TV landscape. Malory Towers is a new 13-part TV drama series set in post-war Britain based on the bestselling children’s novels by Enid Blyton. Set in a girl's boarding school and packed full of midnight feasts, lacrosse games and mysteries to be solved, the books have been a beloved staple for generations of schoolchildren. Julia Raeside reviews the new CBBC adaptation. John McGrath's The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black, Black Oil is one of Scotland’s most iconic plays, exploring the exploitation of the country’s natural resources from the Highland Clearances of the 18th century to the North Sea Oil Boom. Due to be revived by the National Theatre of Scotland in association with Dundee Rep Theatre and Live Theatre, Newcastle, the run has been cancelled due to Covid-19 guidelines. Two members of the cast, Billy Mack and Jo Freer, join us live to perform a scene and a song from the production.

Een boek dat je het afgelopen jaar ongetwijfeld zag passeren, lag onlangs ook op ons nachtkastje: Lost Children Archive of Archief van verloren kinderen van Valeria Luiselli. We lazen het met onze boekenclub (Trees zelfs met twee boekenclubs) en waren unaniem: deze topper is het perfecte boekenclubboek. Lost Children Archive is een gelaagde roman, waarover je kan blijven praten. In deze podcast pellen we voor jou het eerste laagje af. De rest laten we aan jou - en misschien ook je boekenclub - over. In de roman ondernemen de naamloze personages een roadtrip naar het zuiden van de Verenigde Staten. Moeder en vader elk met hun eigen project dat ze najagen, de kinderen in hun kielzog. Alle vier voelen ze dat hun gezin uit elkaar dreigt te scheuren. Vader is op zo’n naar echo’s van de Apaches. Moeder naar de dochters van een vriendin, die de zuidgrens van de VS illegaal overgestoken zijn om dan te verdwijnen. Beide maken opnames om die op hun eigen manier te verwerken. En dan gaan het plots mis. Wat er gebeurt, dat vertellen we je pas in de spoilerdoorspekte ‘Dieper graven’, dus luister gerust naar onze korte inhoud als je het boek zelf nog wil lezen. Wat we je wel al kunnen vertellen, is dat het een aflevering is waarin Trees veel praat met haar mond vol. Sorry daarvoor.

Valeria Luiselli first travelled to the U.S.–Mexico border in 2014, when the current immigration crisis began to heat up. Under the Trump Presidency, the border has become the dead center of American politics, and Luiselli returned with the radio producer Pejk Malinovski. Luiselli is a Mexican writer living in New York, and the author of “Lost Children Archive” and other books. She wrote in The New Yorker about Wild West reënactments, in which actors stage scenes like a gunfight at O.K. Corral. In Tombstone, Arizona, and Shakespeare, New Mexico, she finds a very particular view of Western history that elides the U.S.’s long and complicated relationship with Mexico, which once owned this region. She finds that historical reënactments feed a notion of the border region as a lawless frontier requiring vigilantes to defend American interests.

We were joined by Valeria Luiselli to discuss her "impossibly smart . . . highly readable and important" (Tommy Orange) new novel Lost Children Archive.

This month Jess talks to the Mexican author Valeria Luiselli about her most recent novel "The Lost Children Archive", a bold and wise book which is as much about protecting our children, and being children ourselves, as it is about the horrors of the refugee experience, as currently seen around the US-Mexico border. 'The Lost Children' archive is also fascinating in the way it deals with recordings of reality and everyday experience, including sounds. We talk to Valeria about the sounds which surrounded her during night-time sessions writing the book, finishing up with a sound experiment of our own. Hosted by Jessica Johannesson with music by The Bookshop Band If you like the sound of 'The Lost Children Archive' take a look at this reading list for more reading suggestions.

Journalist and television presenter Jenny Brockie, and writer Sam Twyford-Moore, join Kate and Cassie to review Siri Hustvedt's Memories of the Future and Valeria Luiselli's Lost Children Archive, and Louise Swinn from the Stella Prize for writing by Australian women comes along to discuss this year's selection

Valeria Luiselli's Lost Children Archive tells the story of a family by combining the American road trip subgenre with the Latin American tradition of an inward journey. 

In a world increasingly dominated by xenophobia and wall-building, this month we wanted to look to the books that cross borders instead. So our theme for this show is migration in literature, from the novels of John Steinbeck to Zadie Smith. We've been wanting to talk about this for a while, and we waited for the perfect author guest to explore this with us. We spoke to award-winning Mexican author Valeria Luiselli, whose latest novel Lost Children Archive is about both a road trip one family takes across America, and child migrants on the US/Mexico border. So, come and tear down walls with us for the next hour on Literary Friction.

Valeria Luiselli talks to Laurence Scott about the desert border between Mexico and USA & capturing the sound, history and contemporary politics in her novel Lost Children Archive. The poet George Szirtes' first prose work brings his Hungarian mother superbly to life and works backwards through the years to explore the truth of being alive in the world. And Pulitzer-prize-winning short story writer Jhumpa Lahiri on her new anthology of stories from Italy, and why the Italian language releases a part of her unfulfilled by either her Bengali heritage or American upbringing. Jhumpa Lahiri has edited The Penguin Book of Italian Short Stories which is out now. Valeria Luiselli's novel Lost Children Archive is out now George Szirtes' memoir The Photographer at Sixteen: The Death and Life of a Fighter is out now

Lost Children Archive documents a cross country trip that is goal oriented for both a husband and wife whose marriage is disintegrating. Accompanying them are their two nameless children, one of whom becomes our narrator for a bit. As they travel, they document in many ways, their travel much as each of them have documented for much of their lives. The archive that is carried with them and accumulated anew as they journey gives the reader insight into both relationships and I guess I could say current events that are both heartbreaking and ignored, filled with peril and terror. I would like to say that there is a nicely wrapped ending which ties up the loose ends, but just as in life and in our difficult present, it is not as easy as that, and though we may feel somewhat adrift from time to time and even at its conclusion, we are informed, enlightened and guided to a new understanding of a tragedy that unfolds each day in a country that once stood for freedom, asylum and welcome
