The essays gathered in this volume call into question the validity of rigid boundaries between North-American and South-American studies. The interdisciplinary character of the articles is intended to allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the cultural interactions between Europe, North America and South America. It is also more apt to convey a nuanced image of the ways in which different cultures, literatures and languages interact and intersect in representing the complex issues of exile and migration. The contributions to this trilingual volume address issues related to nation, memory, space and language – crucial components of exilic creation.

To what extent can the exiled artists’ “partial and plural perspective” (Rushdie) re-conceptualize notions of home and nationhood? How are notions of home and mother tongue affected by the crossing of geopolitical borders (inter-American, trans-Atlantic or trans-Pacific)?

While this collection of articles offers no definitive answers to such complex questions, it opens unexplored pathways by addressing less well known literary works, thus charting new literary and artistic territories in exilic creation.
