Thesis title:
My research interrogates how Jewish authors within nation states like France imaginatively engage with their origins in another homeland, or how they depict literary geographies that are indicative of a less homogeneous cultural or ethnic identity. Taking into account notions of cultural nationalism in France and the ancestral homelands of the authors such as Elsa Triolet, Ania Francos and Régine Robin, I examine the significance of being a Jewish and French writer with origins in Eastern Europe and particularly the Pale of Settlement, as well as these writers’ (post)memorial testimonies of their own family histories.
