Abstract

Diaspora studies have tended to privilege urban landscapes over rural ones, wanting to avoid the racial homogeneity, conservatism, and xenophobia usually associated with the latter. In "Second Arrivals: Landscape and Belonging in Contemporary Writing of the Americas", Sarah Phillips Casteel examines the work of writers such as Derek Walcott, V. S. Naipaul, Jamaica Kincaid, Philip Roth, and Joy Kogawa, among others, to show how it expresses the appeal that rural and wilderness spaces can hold for the diasporic imagination. Casteel proposes an alternative to postmodern celebrations of rootlessness, bringing together writers from the Caribbean and North America who uniquely reimagine the New World landscape from the vantage point of cultural and geographical dislocation. As represented in a range of genres and media - fiction, poetry, garden writing, and installation art - these alternative forms of belonging reinterpret New World nature as infused with history and as subject to competing claims, generating a new poetics of American place. The author's transnational approach also gives significant attention to Canadian material, which has largely been overlooked in hemispheric studies of the literature of the Americas. Contributing to the growing movement of comparative American studies, "Second Arrivals" will appeal to scholars and students of inter-American studies, Caribbean studies, Canadian studies, diaspora studies, postcolonial studies, and ecocriticism.

Abstract

Sur fond d'un monde qui s'effondre, émerge un nouveau type social et, très vite, littéraire: l'émigré. Le mot naît avec la Révolution qui refoule hors des frontières marquis et domestiques, artisans et oisifs. L'émigré est l'étranger par excellence, qui arrive au sein d'une communauté étrangère. Doit-il maintenir ses coutumes ou se plier à celles de ses hôtes ? Peut-il survivre de ses rentes ou se voit-il contraint de convertir en métier d'anciennes occupations de loisirs ? Est-il un individu à honorer, figure christique de la souffrance, ou le porteur d'une gangrène terrible dont on craint la contagion au sein de communautés heureuses ? Les contemporains tentent de donner sens à la redéfinition des rapports humains, de la carte de l'Europe et des préjugés millénaires dans des fictions qui sont autant de réponses à une expérience vitale inédite. Figure du destin individuel pris au piège d'un tourment collectif, le personnage de l'émigré représente une parfaite métonymie de l'irruption de l'Histoire dans la vie de chacun.

Abstract

Urbanity and migration are considered to be two basic components in definitions of modernity. They force us to reflect on how the boundaries between the local and the global are determined and surpassed. Often this results in politically charged discussions about transnationality and national identity, monolingualism and multilingualism, inclusion and exclusion. The contributions to this issue of CLW demonstrate that literature can play a significant role in this debate. The authors highlight the representation of city and migration in a wide variety of novels published in Dutch, English, German, Spanish and French with a particular interest in political commitment.
