Culture in Exile

This edited book breaks new ground by bringing together research on inner and territorial exile in the context of National Socialism in Germany and the Franco regime in Spain, and in proposing an integrated model of exilic cultural production. Original contributions explore previously neglected aspects of the inner and territorial exile cultures, focusing on the specificity of the national settings (including Catalonia) whilst also seeking to place research findings within a conceptual framework of exile which views the experiences and cultural manifestations of inner and territorial exiles not as polar opposites, but as interactions of response to fascist dictatorship. ****This book will be of interest to scholars and students of German Studies, Hispanic Studies, comparative literary and cultural studies, and modern history more broadly.

Overcomes the segregation of inner and outer exile by bringing together a range of voices and locating them on a spectrum of cultural production Explores the commonalities, as well as the differences, between the Spanish and German contexts Provides an integrated model of exile, analyzing the key terms used during and after fascist rule to conceptualize exile

Klappentext

This volume brings together a series of studies on inner and territorial exile in/from Nazi Germany and Franco's Spain by well-known Germanists and Hispanists. It approaches exile culture from a comparative, transnational perspective, and it opposes the tendency to homogenize different experiences of exile, thereby making a highly valuable contribution to the field of Exile Studies.
