Abstract

This collection pushes migration and "the minor" to the fore of literary anthropology. What happens when authors who thematize their “minority” background articulate notions of belonging, self, and society in literature? The contributors use “interface ethnography” and “fieldwork on foot” to analyze a broad selection of literature and processes of dialogic engagement. The chapters discuss German-speaking Herta Müller’s perpetual minority status in Romania; Bengali-Scottish Bashabi Fraser and the potentiality of poetry; vagrant pastoralism and “heritagization” in Puglia, Italy; the self-representation of European Muslims post 9/11 in Zeshan Shakar’s acclaimed Norwegian novel; the autobiographical narratives of Loveleen Rihel Brenna and the artist collective Queendom in Norway; the “immigrant” as a permanent guest in Spanish-language children’s literature; and Slovenian roots-searching in Argentina. This anthology examines the generative and transformative potentials of storytelling, while illustrating that literary anthropology is well equipped to examine the multiple contexts that literature engages. Chapter 4 of this book is available open access under a CC By 4.0 license at link.springer.com.

Abstract

Depuis presque 200 ans, la mondialisation, cette phase d’accélération sans précédent des relations sociales et des contacts interculturels, caractérise aussi bien notre univers mental qu’elle définit l’horizon de nos pratiques quotidiennes. Ce livre s’attache à en saisir toute la complexité. Il entend à la fois saisir des représentations du mondial, se pencher sur les ambassadeurs de la mondialité aux XIXe et XXe siècles, réfléchir à l’articulation du global et du local, et analyser la configuration politique globale avec les nouvelles formes de gouvernance. À l’issue de ces études, il ressort que si le monde est dorénavant unique, il est loin d’être uniforme. Selon les termes du philosophe canadien Charles Taylor, « une profonde diversité » semble même dominer par-delà les fausses impressions d’uniformité. L’ensemble de ces contributions dessine un monde global dans lequel les individus échappent à la généralisation et à l’essentialisation mais relève d’un « tiers-espace », selon Homi Bhabba, où les identités se négocient en permanence au fil des circonstances offertes par un monde à la fois homogénéisé et fragmenté. Finalement, selon les mots du poète Pablo Neruda, les êtres mondialisés s’apparentent un peu à des « arbres ailés » quand les racines du local montent au ciel du global.

Abstract

Black communities have been making major contributions to Europe's social and cultural life and landscapes for centuries. However, their achievements largely remain unrecognized by the dominant societies, as their perspectives are excluded from traditional modes of marking public memory. For the first time in European history, leading Black scholars and activists examine this issue - with first-hand knowledge of the eight European capitals in which they live. Highlighting existing monuments, memorials, and urban markers they discuss collective narratives, outline community action, and introduce people and places relevant to Black European history, which continues to be obscured today.
