This seminar considers a selection of contemporary portrayals of displacement and exile. Through an examination of written work and film, we will consider displacement both as a challenging and disruptive experience, as well as an experience that fosters experiential knowledge and individual growth. Among others, we will consider texts by J.M. Coetzee, Behrouz Boochani and Yousif. M. Qasmiyeh. In addition to literary representations and film, this seminar incorporates a study of seminal theoretical work on statelessness, citizenship, and exile.
