Kurzbeschreibung

Benjamin Robbins's current research project studies the Anglophone literature that arose from a range of global centres of queer community and creativity from the 1900s to the 1960s. He primarily considers the work of American and British writers who lived and produced work outside their native countries in Capri, Paris, Berlin, and Tangier. The shared situation of the authors he has selected is three-fold: they all experienced transnational dislocation, had queer sexualities/identities, and engaged in artistic creation. These multiple points of common identification led to the formation of transnational networks across North America, Europe, and North Africa that, through processes of circulation and exchange, Benjamin Robbins argues, led to the pooling of distinct narratological features across the corpus of literature they produced on the theme of queer exile.
