'The Artistry of Exile' is a new study of one of the most important myths of nineteenth-century literature. Romantic poetry abounds with allusions to the loss of Eden and the isolation of figures who are 'sick for home'. This book explores the way such thematic preoccupations are modified by the material reality of enforced travel away from home.

This book brings together essays by an international group of scholars and artists, focusing on live performance inspired by living in exile, or created by exiled artists. Bringing together a range of perspectives to examine the full impact of political, socio-economic or psychological experiences of exile, Performing Exile: Foreign Bodies presents an inclusive mix of established and emerging voices from varied cultural and geographic affiliations. Chapters blend close critical analysis and autoethnography to document and interrogate performances and the political, religious, economic and cultural contexts that inform them. With a foreword by Yana Meerzon, and featuring essays on artists of Mexican, Korean-American, Lebanese-Quebecois, Spanish, Azerbaijani and Canadian Aboriginal origin, to name a few, Performing Exile is truly diverse.

Australia has been seen as a land of both punishment and refuge. Australian literature has explored these controlling alternatives, and vividly rendered the landscape on which they transpire. Twentieth-century writers left Australia to see the world; now Australia's distance no longer provides sanctuary. But today the global perspective has arrived with a vengeance. In Contemporary Australian Literature: A World Not Yet Dead, Nicholas Birns tells the story of how novelists, poets and critics, from Patrick White to Hannah Kent, from Alexis Wright to Christos Tsiolkas, responded to this condition. With rancour, concern and idealism, modern Australian literature conveys a tragic sense of the past yet an abiding vision of the way forward. Birns paints a vivid picture of a rich Australian literary voice- one not lost to the churning of global markets, but in fact given new life by it.

This book examines how Irishness as national narrative is consistently understood ‘from a distance’. Irish Presidents, critics, and media initiatives focus on how Irishness is a global resource chiefly informed by the experiences of an Irish diaspora predominantly working in English, while also reminding Irish people ‘at home’ that Irish is the 'national tongue'. In returning to some of Ireland’s major expat writers and international diplomats, this book examines the economic reasons for their migration, the opportunities they gained by working abroad (sometimes for the British Empire), and their experiences of writing and governing in non-native English speaking communities such as China and Hong Kong. It argues that their concerns about belonging, loneliness, the desire to buy a place ‘back home’, and losing a language are shared by today’s generation of social network expatriates.

1933-1945: Tausende von Kulturschaffenden verlassen Nazi-Deutschland, ein Teil von ihnen geht in die Schweiz. Warum haben sie es schwer, dort Fuß zu fassen? Wie kommt es, dass das Verhältnis zwischen schweizerischen und deutschen Autoren trotz ihrer kulturellen Nähe belastet ist? Das Buch eröffnet eine neue Perspektive auf alte Fragen, denn es betrachtet das literarische Exil in der Schweiz aus der Sicht des Ankunftslandes. Die schweizerischen Schriftsteller befanden sich in Bezug auf die deutschsprachigen Autoren, die in der Schweiz Zuflucht suchten, in einer Struktur der Doppelbindung: Sie orientierten sich einerseits an den literarischen Zentren des deutschsprachigen literarischen Feldes und waren andererseits auf die Anerkennung der Peers der nationalen schweizerischen Literaturproduktion angewiesen. Indem die Autorin das Konzept des "double bind" operationalisiert, gelingt es, eine Brücke zwischen einer literatursoziologischen und einer historischen Betrachtungsweise zu schlagen und damit die ambivalente Haltung der Schweizer Autoren zu erklären.
