What textual representations of Eastern Europe are being circulated now and how? What interactions between Eastern Europe and the US are recorded or imagined in these contemporary literary texts? How do these texts rethink the role of the US in the ‘New Europe’ (Rumsfeld), and what is the role of this encounter for the world at large? What role does Eastern Europe have in post-Cold War American reality and imaginary? To answer these questions I will analyze the work of contemporary Eastern European exiled writers in the US (Hemon, Penkov, and Obreht) and follow representations of Eastern Europe in contemporary American fiction (Franzen, Updike, Simon, Phillips, Rubinstein, Orringe, Sacco, Zograf, Dasgupta). Anchoring my analysis in the studies from the late 90s onwards which have emphasized the need for a “transnational” (Fishkin), “global” (Giles, Jay), “planetary” (Dimock), and “hemispheric” (Levander) approach to American literature and in the larger debates in comparative literature, as put forth by Spivak (2003), Damrosch (2003, 2008), or Saussy (2006), I posit the importance of contemporary Eastern European exiled writers and their cultural output in the US. My project will also tease out the “intricate interdependencies” between the post/communist Eastern Europe and the US, and offer a genealogy and detailed map of Eastern European spaces in contemporary American literature and culture. My project brings together thinking on transnationalism (Balibar, Basch, Levitt) as a global movement of peoples, financial flows, technologies and “ideologies” (to follow the lead of Appadurai), and a detailed analysis of the global circulation of various particular representations of Eastern Europe in and via American literature. My proposed study covers a little explored area in US ethnic studies, by suggesting an emergent Eastern European canon in American literature; it also participates in the transnational debates about American literature and illuminates important interfaces between the Eastern European cultural space and the American one after 1989.東歐東歐流放文學當代美國文學跨國主義Eastern EuropeEastern European exiles’ literaturecontemporary American literaturetransnationalismAleksandar HemonMiroslav PenkovTéa Obreht
