Contemporary Developments in Emergent Literatures and the New Europe
seeks to explore changing conceptions of European identity, and the
possible ways in which we can speak of a «N/new Europe», in the
context of a discussion of the concept of literary emergence. It
gathers a group of both established and early career researchers, from
diverse parts of Europe, US and South Africa, whose readings of
literary texts describe a range of deterritorialized, hybrid, and
heterogeneous identities. Tracing paths from the West of Ireland to
Albania, from London to Mecca and Argentina, the essays collected here
reveal a Europe that is porous and multiethnic, a Europe of the mind
whose spatial co-ordinates exceed national boundaries and divisions.
This volume provokes us to reassess our conceptions of the «Old»
Europe, to draw from the new voices we hear in its pages a new
landscape, or a palimpsestic overlaying of distinct maps.
