- Inhalt
- Migration, in all its facets, is one of the most discussed and debated topics of the current century; however, it is not something new, but an aged-old phenomenon and human beings have been migrating since the beginning of time. Although migration is a topic that encompasses us all in one way or the other, but the most distressing aspect of migration is how invisible the migrant can become in the everyday narrative. As a result, the voices of many undocumented migrants, immigrants, and refugees become slowly muffled or go unheard. That’s why it’s crucial to read writings by those coming from other places, foreign traditions, different religions, unfamiliar social and political structures, diverse ideologies and ways of living, and landscapes dissimilar from the host society or country. Refuting Edwidge Danticat, “these writers more than tell us. They show us. They pull us in and draw us out. They invite us into homes, families, souls,” this seminar will address aspects of migration as rendered in the most recent novels. In particular, it will investigate the link between migration and literature, immigrant experiences, immigrant narrative, leaving and arriving, nostalgia, the concept of home and the transitory nature of migrant identities as articulated in literary texts. The discussion will focus on cultural identities, reception and criticism of migrant identity, and the complex experience of immigrant characters living between two or more languages, societies and cultures.
