Beginning with Simone Weil’s writing on the subject of attention, this article reflects on the place of attention in contemporary human rights practice—specifically in relation to the challenges posed by the multiple patterns of migration that have so defined our era. Through the lens of Jenny Erpenbeck’s remarkable novel, Go, Went, Gone, the article explores what attentiveness may mean today with regard to research and advocacy concerning migration issues. The article also asks how we secure and maintain the interest of the general public in the so-called global migration ‘crisis’ at a historical moment characterized by mass distraction?
