About this Event
This workshop, the first in a series exploring relationships between literature and human migration, considers two sets of questions: How have specific methodological and theoretical approaches in literary studies shed light on the complex relationships between literature and migration? And how do the histories of migration require us to rethink literary historical fields? Spanning literature from across the globe from ancient times to the present, and considering the many diverse forms which human movement takes, an international group of scholars examines the profound challenges of writing a literary history that takes fully into account demographic movement, displacement, and relocation.
Pre-circulated papers are available upon request. To receive them, please contact Mark Sorkin at [email protected].
