Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Experiences of foreignness and exile have long been a focal point of literary and cultural studies, and even considered so widespread in modern history as to form not the exception but the very kernel of our subjectivity. This course explores key aspects of the relevant theory (drawing on Edward Said, Theodor Adorno, Julia Kristeva), and moves on to consider how it pertains to modern Greek history and culture. Although its main focus is on literary treatments of immigration, exile and diasporic existence, literature is read as a lens through which to analyze the historical phenomenon of Greek diasporic and immigrational trajectories from the 17th century to the present. Our final meetings will be dedicated to a comparative approach between Greek and Austrian literature, which has also been dominated – since the 19th century – by the thematic complex of home and exile. Greek authors that we will discuss include Ilias Venezis, C.P. Cavafy, Yiannis Ritsos, Stratis Tsirkas, Aris Alexandrou, Dimitris Chatzis, Sotiris Dimitriou, Thanassis Valtinos.
