Migration in Context: Literature, Culture and Language (kartoniertes Buch)

Migration is an intrinsic part of human history. The move- AV
ments of people across various types of borders have contributed
to shape the nations, languages, and cultures of
this planet and still continue to do so to the present day.
Due to the many forms, facets, and the long history of migratory
movements, the academic investigation of migration
processes goes far beyond the scope of any single
discipline and needs to be conducted from multiple perspectives.
This volume contributes to the study of migration
by presenting diverse approaches and case studies
from British and American literary and cultural studies, linguistics,
and didactics. By drawing on a rich assortment of
topics, methods, and theories from these different fields of
research, it aims to illustrate the conceptual diversity inherent
in the study of migration, but also highlights the many
cross-disciplinary affinities and connections between approaches
in these different areas of research.
