Narratives of Transmigration : Multiple Movement and Cultures of Memory in the British Colonial Diaspora.DE

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This study explores the potential of transferring the concept of transmigration from the social sciences to anglophone literary and cultural studies to further our understanding of complex forms of mobility (especially multiple migration), translocal identities and their narrativisation. Part 1 explains theoretical foundations regarding transmigration and its relation to diaspora studies in general, spatial theory, transnationalism, globalisation, cosmopolitanism, transculturalism and memory studies. Part 2 is a case study of the Normanist community and its successive 19th-century migrations from the UK to Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and of the representation of transmigrant identity and memory in literary and nonliterary texts, as well as other forms of cultural expression, from the 19th to the 21st century. This is followed by an outline of further potential case studies and conceptual implications for future work on transmigration in anglophone literary and cultural studies. Artikel-Nr. 9783565118366
