Security And Hospitality In Literature And Culture: Modern And Contemporary Perspectives (Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives On Literature) - 9781138915848

This book opens a dialogue between discourses of security and hospitality in modern and contemporary literature and culture. Essays span domestic spaces and detention camps, the experience of migration and tourism, interpersonal exchanges, and cross-cultural interventions. Demonstrating an interrelation between discussions of hospitality and the intensifying attention to security concerns, the book visits a global range of literary, cultural, and geopolitical contexts. Via the key themes of uncertainty, domesticity, and transit, this volume defines a new interdisciplinary area of inquiry that resonates with interests in world literature, transnationalism, and cosmopolitanism.
