Comments

Scientific discussions about 'diasporas' became very popular during the 1990s, and up to this date, they owe a great deal to post colonial theories. Little has been said about Eastern European diasporas, although their literary production was rather influential in Europe during the two-three decades following the war. The course proposes the analysis of exile literary cultures from several countries belonging to the former Eastern Bloc, discussing concepts such as emigration/ diaspora/ exile. More specifically, the course will focus on: o cultural and historical context which caused the exiles to leave their country of origin and geographical regroupment; o relationship of the exiles with both the country of origin and the country of adoption; o narratives of the homeland in exile literature; o cultural associations, institutes, literary circles, libraries, newspapers, magazines created by the exiles; o return after 1989 and impact on national mainstream culture. While primarily focused on Romanian texts (Paul Goma, Norman Manea, Virgil Gheorghiu, Vintila Horia), readings will also include a variety of other East European writers (Danuta Mostwin, Pavel Tigrid, Milos Crnjanski, Witold Gombrowicz) for comparison purposes. close
