FREN 045C. Littératures de la Migration: Diaspora, Exil, Retour

How do chosen and forced migrations produce and disrupt constructions of identity, belonging and homeland? How is “home” imagined, experienced, and remembered through fictional and autobiographical works? What aesthetic strategies are used in works that span multiple worlds? Through novels, graphic novels and films from Algeria, Morocco, Lebanon, and France, from wilful migration to forced displacements, we examine the construction of a Francophone identity, and the possibility of creating nomadic places of memory.
