Bicultural Literature and Film in French and English (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: I. Barta, Peter; Powrie, Phil

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on bicultural literature and film in English or French by those not working in their native language, exploring works by European and North African artists for their explicitly multifocal representation of authors' experiences of their native languages and cultures. Essays consider work by the peripheral and those without a country, while problematizing the term 'bicultural'. These works relish the freedom provided by liberation from the confines of one language and culture, and the delight in creative multilingualism. This volume will be of significant interest to those studying biculturalism, as well as the fields of comparative literature and film studies.
