This book attempts to address the paradoxes inherent in international modernism (a literary movement which at once strove to cross borders of nation language and tradition yet which at the same time often endorsed nationalist and racial models of identity).

What fueled the Victorian passion for hair-jewelry and memorial rings? When would an everyday object metamorphose from commodity to precious relic? In Portable Property, John Plotz examines the new role played by portable objects in persuading Victorian Britons that they could travel abroad with religious sentiments, family ties, and national identity intact. In an empire defined as much by the circulation of capital as by force of arms, the challenge of preserving Englishness while living overseas became a central Victorian preoccupation, creating a pressing need for objects that could readily travel abroad as personifications of Britishness. At the same time a radically new relationship between cash value and sentimental associations arose in certain resonant mementoes--in teacups, rings, sprigs of heather, and handkerchiefs, but most of all in books. Portable Property examines how culture-bearing objects came to stand for distant people and places, creating or preserving a sense of self and community despite geographic dislocation. Victorian novels--because they themselves came to be understood as the quintessential portable property--tell the story of this change most clearly. Plotz analyzes a wide range of works, paying particular attention to George Eliot's Daniel Deronda, Anthony Trollope's Eustace Diamonds, and R. D. Blackmore's Lorna Doone. He also discusses Thomas Hardy and William Morris's vehement attack on the very notion of cultural portability. The result is a richer understanding of the role of objects in British culture at home and abroad during the Age of Empire.

L'exilé est celui qu'un souverain ou un régime a expulsé de sa patrie sans espoir de retour, ou en le condamnant à l'incertitude du retour. La première émigration russe et l'exil allemand sous Hitler ont porté un coup fatal à l'autorité dont était investie, depuis l'Antiquité, cette figure malheureuse, mais prestigieuse, du conflit entre individu et pouvoir. Quant à la perte de la patrie, elle s'est à la fois élargie jusqu'à devenir une structure de la personnalité - l'« exil intérieur » - et, en sens inverse, affaiblie : de nouvelles formes d'expulsion et d'arrachement sont apparues (persécutions entraînant des demandes d'asile, déportations, génocides), qui rendent la crainte d'une mort inhumaine plus douloureuse que le regret de la patrie. Ce livre explore ces évolutions en partant de l'exil d'écrivains et d'artistes de nombreux pays, de Nabokov ou Brecht à Gao Xinjiang et Amin Maalouf. Sans que leur sort soit disjoint de celui de millions de gens ordinaires, leurs ouvres esquissent, au-delà des idéologies progressistes ou restauratrices, un autre « paysage du possible ».

Alongside a liberating treatment of the English language, Ernest Hemingway realized some often overlooked innovations in multicultural subject matter. In six of the seven novels published during his lifetime, the protagonist is abroad, bilingual, and bicultural—and these archetypes have significant implications for each character’s sense of identity. In Paris or Paname interprets Hemingway’s overdetermined use of foreignness as a literary device, characterizing how cultural displacement informs plot dynamics. The investigation historicizes the archetypal protagonist’s process of (re)orientation through attention to his intercultural adoptions in language, alcohol consumption, sports, and betrothal rites. Herlihy situates his argument within an apposite research framework from psychological studies on migration, anthropological examinations of cultural ceremony, and literary theory on the poetics of displacement. The analysis offers groundbreaking insights on the distribution of previously overlooked structural patterns (themes, motifs, and symbols) that are present throughout Hemingway’s novelistic corpus, and provides a compelling perspective on the aesthetics of the expatriate/immigrant writing process.
