Lost and Found

From the Editors

UQ12 centres around the theme of lost and found. This issue includes a collection of work which critically engages with the implications of the words lost and found through contributors’ explorations of heritage, transformation, memory and the ephemeral.  

As lost and found implies a space to retrieve what has been lost, the journal posits itself as a space of temporary custodianship of what is held within it. UQ12 is a site of resistance which brings into question consumerist notions of value that dominate this contemporary moment through the incursion of capital; looking instead to what is fleeting, has been overlooked or subjugated to the margins.
