Karolinum Nakladatelstvi Univerzity Karlovy Czech Republic - Migration And Identity In Nordic Literature - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: An examination of representations of human migration in three centuries of Northern European literature. Migration is a frequent topic of many debates nowadays whether it concerns refugees from war - torn areas or the economic pros and cons of the mobility of multinational corporations and their employees. Yet such migration has always been a part of the human experience and its dimensions with its shifting nature manifestations and consequences were often greater than we can imagine today. In this book ten scholars from Czechia Denmark the Netherlands Norway Poland and Sweden focus on how migration has manifested itself in literature and culture through the nineteenth twentieth and early twenty - first centuries in Denmark Norway Sweden Finland and Iceland. Examining the theme of migration as it relates to questions of identity both national and individual the authors argue that migration almost always leads to a disturbance of identity and creates a potential for conflicts between individuals and larger groups. The book digs deep into such cases of disturbance disruption and hybridization of identity as they are represented in three centuries of literary works from the European North.
