They examine how Literatures in English are increasingly influenced by globalization and hybridity stemming from national and international cross-cultural encounters. Particular attention is paid to the thematic aesthetics emanating from the changes in national identities and value systems as a result of increasing multicultural and minority voices within nation states, the growing cultural and linguistic networks of transnational interrelations, and more overt literary exploration of subjects such as law, religion and racism. These concerns by writers in English may result from actual migrations and border crossings but may also stem from imaginative processes which envision identities that transcend or eschew concrete manifestations of socially or nationally constructed selves."],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/91023"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.publisher","Stauffenburg"],["dc.publisher.place","Tübingen"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-3-86057-323-5"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Literatures in English: New Ethical, Cultural and Transnational Perspectives"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Anglistische Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft"],["dc.title","The Influence of Globalisation and Transnationalism on Anglophone Canadian Literature"],["dc.type","book_chapter"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

This volume is not only meant to address important matters of the past but also of the present and future as racism, ethnic relations, and cultural identity – with the attendant issues of human rights, freedom, and emancipation – will assume an ever-increasing significance in our globalised but ethically, socially, and culturally divided world. The volume is subdivided into three sections: «Racism and Nationalism» containing papers dealing with issues of racism and nationalism in a broader context, «Slavery: From Past to Present» exploring the concept of slavery in different literary genres and historical periods, «Cultural Identity and Ethnic Relations» dealing with cultural memory, nationalism, and relations between cultural and ethnic groups."],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/91101"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.publisher","Peter Lang"],["dc.publisher.place","Frankfurt a.M."],["dc.relation.isbn","978-3-631-59045-4"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Racism, Slavery and Literature"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Anglistische Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft"],["dc.title","Crossing Borders"],["dc.title.subtitle","Interracial Relationships in English Colonial Fiction"],["dc.type","book_chapter"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Its theme “Transcending Boundaries: Migrations, Dislocations, and Literary Transformations” was chosen deliberately as it is open to the discussion of a great variety of topical social, cultural, and literary dimensions, with diverse aspects of migration and its transnational turn emerging as the most analysed topics. The authors of the present articles predominantly address the questions of how the diverse reasons, multifaceted consequences, and far-reaching implications of international migrations have found expression in literary works written in English and, in the process, how the attempts to render the shifting affiliation between place and individual identity have themselves expanded literary and genre frontiers. Our theme is also symbolically reflected in the cover picture of this volume, the famous pedestrianised “three bridges”, Tromostovje, by the architect Jože Plecnik (1872-1957) across the Ljubljanica River in central Ljubljana, bridging the two seemingly different and yet very similar riverbanks."],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/91013"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.publisher","Stauffenburg"],["dc.publisher.place","Tübingen"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-3-95809-591-5"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Transcending Boundaries: Migrations, Dislocations, and Literary Transformations"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Anglistische Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft"],["dc.title","Narrating Migration"],["dc.title.subtitle","Empathy and the Mediation of Global Mobility"],["dc.type","book_chapter"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
