In the wake of the spatial and affective turns in Literary Studies
in general, and the study of Jewish literatures in particular, this
volume shifts focus from the extensity of exile and return to the
intensities of sense of place and belonging across a moving
landscape of 20th and 20st century literatures, Jewish and other.
It brings together contemporary writers and literary scholars who
collectively map these intensities onto a bodily word world in
transit and textures of habitable, readable space as passage. Works
by Helene Cixous, Cecile Wajsbrot, Alex Epstein, Almog Behar, and
Svetlana Boym explore sites made up of layers of passages, taking
configurations of sayability and readability as forms, poetic and
political, of inhabiting the material world. The contributions by
literary scholars explore the theoretical potential of a mapping of
such sites in studies of modalities of belonging and unbelonging in
modern and contemporary works of literature. The volume collects a
collaborative investigation of the exigencies and potentialities of
sense of place and belonging through literature, Jewish and other.
It offers a literary perspective on current debates in a variety of
fields, including literary criticism, human geography,
architectural theory, and translation studies.
