Over a period of more than thirty years, Wolfgang Zach has dedicated his considerable critical skills and enormous energy to the study and promotion of literature in English. In that time, he has established himself as an impressive scholar and an accomplished teacher and administrator. From an early interest in eighteenth-century English literature to an enthusiastic advocacy of the New Literatures in English, Wolfgang Zach has sought to broaden the boundaries of literary study, embracing interdisciplinarity and incorporating important international voices into the folds of English literature. On the occasion of his sixtieth birthday, this Festschrift honours and celebrates Wolfgang Zach's distinguished and admirable academic career. The essays collected here represent the wide field of studies that has characterized Wolfgang Zach's own scholarship. Issues of identity, language and liminality reappear throughout these works, which include new critiques of traditional subjects such as Shakespeare, Yeats and Joyce, essays on immigrant writing in Australia, Canada and India, as well as works on contemporary authors such as Wilson Harris, Chang-rae Lee and Brian Friel. The collection is international in authorship as well as investigative scope, featuring scholars from seventeen countries in six continents. In a period when postcolonial literature and theory have transformed traditional perceptions of the English literary canon, Wolfgang Zach, through his own research and his active fostering of international academic networks, has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the scholarly dialogue that addresses this fundamental and richly complex paradigm shift.

This volume examines the evolution of the concept of diaspora since the advent of Diaspora Studies in the 90s, specifically vis-à-vis other concepts: transnationalism, cosmopolitanism, creolization. The essays depict the discontinuities of diasporic experience, but also its ongoing negotiations. Building on transatlantic, gender studies and queer theory, they address the theoretical turn when sexual difference is taken into account and gender troubled. Allying theory and case studies, covering diasporas as diverse as the African, Caribbean, Palestinian, South and South-East Asian diasporas, the dispersion of Romas, the spaces of the Indian Ocean, South Africa and New Zealand, this volume promotes another diasporic model: multidirectional, plural and global. It finds in literature and film tools to think the ‘super-diversity’ and the contradictions of our global world. Ce volume est un état des lieux de l’évolution du concept de diaspora depuis l’avènement des études diasporiques dans les années quatre-vingt-dix, et plus particulièrement, de son questionnement face à d’autres concepts : transnationalisme, cosmopolitisme et créolisation. Il décrit les discontinuités de l’expérience diasporique, mais également les négociations en cours. Fort de l’apport des études transatlantiques, de genre et de la théorie queer, il rend compte de l’infléchissement théorique lorsque le sexe est pris en compte ou que le genre se trouble. Alliant théorie et analyse de cas, recouvrant des diasporas aussi diverses que la diaspora africaine, caribéenne, palestinienne, de l’Asie du sud et du sud-est, le déplacement des Roms, les espaces de l’Océan indien, l’Afrique du Sud et la Nouvelle-Zélande, il promeut un autre modèle diasporique : multidirectionnel, pluriel et global. Il trouve dans la littérature et dans le cinéma des outils pour penser « l’extrême diversité » et les contradictions de notre mondialisation.
