Acknowledging the importance of “home” in discussions on migration and displacement, this seminar focuses on the concept of home in several works of migrant literature. The seminar aims to explore the complexity of the concept of home beyond pure location: as a feeling, a thought, an ideal, a process, a ritual. The seminar will thus focus on reading and analyzing a variety of contemporary texts (poetry, novels, essays or autobiographies) by diverse writers to explore the ways in which they engage with the concept and the experience of home for mobile individuals.
