Re-Negotiating Identity and Transnationalism
Azade Seyhan writes, " 'Two moves amount to a fire,' a Turkish saying goes. Multiple migrations end in the loss of our homes, possessions, and memorabilia. When the smoke clears, we are faced with charred pieces of identification, shards of language, burned tongues, and cultural fragments. However, from this site of fire, the phoenix of a transnational, bi- and multilingual literature has arisen." This panel aims to explore such a transnational identity and transnational phenomena through their representation in literature- poetry, slogans, short stories, novellas and novels.

Tuesday, March 1, 2011 - 1:31am
MLA

While national foundational romances and nationalist rhetoric are not over, a lasting legacy of postmodernity might be a widespread defiance of the grand-narratives of nation. This panel seeks to address the role played by cultural production in dismantling, challenging, mocking, satirizing, or parodying national myths, historical national epics and their sacred museums. What is the role of literary or filmic production in promoting critical approaches to narratives of nation? How does this growing corpus challenge the notion of national culture(s) or national literature(s)? Are particular national cultures more prone than others to this kind of postnationalist production? Why?
