A discussion of representations of flight, homelessness, border crossing, belonging and identity formation in recent as well as older literature, with an emphasis on literature's connections to the world of politics and ethics.
Lecturer Dr. Barbara Siller, University College Cork, will give a talk on “Kafka Tales of the Twenty-First Century – Doors, Walls, and Fences in The Gurugu Pledge (2017) by Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel and Lights in the Distance. Exile and Refuge at the Borders of Europe (2018) by Daniel Trilling”.
Recent research on migration and migration literature suggests that we can understand narratives of migration better by focusing on the temporal perspectives connected to integration, detention, trauma, crisis, and imagined futures.
This research group consists of scholars dealing with linguistics, literature, and cultural studies: we are interested in migration and real and metaphorical borders, and how these phenomena shape individual and collective identity.
