Project Description

Contemporary Colombian Diaspora Literature (2000-2020)

One of the fundamental characteristics of literature is movement: authors, readers and works move socially and culturally through time. Literature made by migrant subjects is one of its most outstanding expressions. My objective is to analyze the literature of the contemporary Colombian diaspora produced by authors who have left the country and have become migrant subjects who, from a distance, write about Colombia, migration and its problems. These are migrant writers, in the broad sense of the term, first and second generation. Likewise, I consider those writers who leave the country as scholarship holders, who benefit from creative scholarships or writing workshops. Through the analysis of the works of seven migrant authors and other experiences, I aspire to offer a critical approach to the phenomenon of Colombian migration in aesthetic and cultural terms and, through this, to understand the relationship of these subjects with Colombia and the globalized world.
