- Inhalt
- At the wake of recent waves of right wing nationalism and xenophobia which has not only plagued the last US presidential election, but also most of the elections in Europe and around the world. It is critical to continue listening to the voices of those who come from other places, foreign traditions, different religions, unfamiliar social and political structures, diverse ideologies and ways of living, and landscape dissimilar from the host society or country. Therefore, migration literature and/or immigrant writing is one of the valid source to study to understand the differences and similarities between migrants and locals. Although, the genre of migration literature or literature about/on migration is quite a new phenomenon in the academia, however, it has slowly getting into the center of contemporary academic discourse.
The seminar will address aspects of migration as rendered in literature. In particular, it will investigate the link between migration and literature, immigrant experiences, immigrant narrative, leaving and arriving, nostalgia, and transitory nature of migrant identities as articulated in literary texts. Discussion will focus on trans-cultural identities, reception and criticism of migrant identity, the complex experience of immigrant characters of being living in between two or more languages, societies and cultures.
