About lines
lines is an online magazine that engages with the
political spaces of Sri Lanka. We understand that space not just
as a question of elections and parliamentary debate, but conversations
regarding contested visions of peace, multiculturalism, economic
justice, feminisms, citizenship, sexual pluralism, diasporic nationalism,
and such. We seek to provide a forum that inspires and challenges
us to critically scrutinize the terms of received debates and
enables alternative political imaginaries.
While Sri Lanka is the principle reference for the conversations
engaged with in lines, it is not the sole concern.
We actively seek articles that engage with the kind of issues
enumerated above in addressing different territorial entities,
from the occupied territories of Palestine to the State of Gujarat
in India.
lines was founded and is co-edited by Ahilan Kadirgamar,
S. Nanthikesan and Vasuki Nesiah. We invite you to email comments,
suggestions and criticisms regarding any aspect of lines to contact@lines-magainze.org
lines would not have been possible if not for the
support, encouragement and kick-in-the-butt from organizations
such as ICES, SSA, Women's Support Group of the Companions on
a journey, Tamil-Rights, UTHR(J), Samar and Diaspora flow and
numerous individuals.
