Abstract:
The authors closely analyzed 45 children's books featuring characters with refugee backgrounds that had been published since 2013. With the concept of culturally sustaining pedagogy underpinning the review, analysis revealed that these texts are rich and detailed, providing a starting point for discussing the global refugee crisis with students, but they occasionally fall short in providing complex, multidimensional representations of characters’ lives and experiences. A majority of the texts analyzed focus on the journey in search of a safe place to live, whereas very few focus on the complex

Abstract:
Refugee children and adolescents living in refugee camps are a vulnerable population, at high risk for developing mental health disorders, behavioural problems and experiencing violence or trauma. However, not all children exposed to these stressors of displacement show negative outcomes; several refugee children and adolescents show adaptive functioning and resilient outcomes. Given the rising number of refugee minors, it is increasingly important to examine and understand protective factors for resilience among minors living in refugee camps. This knowledge could be used to develop resilienc

BACKGROUND Good mental health makes integration and participation easier. Many refugees have a great deal of resilience and it is important to maintain it and where possible to strengthen it. How much psychological complaints and disorders occur is partly dependent on having (prospect of) work, education or other forms of participation in society, experiencing social support, and having a social network (with family and /or close friends).

However, the average time spent in a refugee camp is 20 years, and refugees often lack food security and power supply to meet basic needs such as cooking or lighting.

The Painter of Bridges is a hybrid siege-exile novel about a landscape painter, Zora Buka, who loses her life’s work in a fire during the siege of Sarajevo.

Part Two is set in England: Zora recollects her escape from Sarajevo, and waits for her asylum claim to be accepted.

Prevailing critical approaches to migration are frequently compromised by their cursory attention to asylum seekers and refugees as specific groups whose ambivalent political status, and solitary journeying, make them distinct from diasporic groups as c

This study begins by identifying a new genre in writing for young people which has developed rapidly since the millennium, namely that of children’s literature about refugees.

This study weaves together several strands of inquiry. On the level of dramatic analysis, I look to understand how "sanctuary" spaces operate in Shakespeare's early plays and the ways in which such zones relate to genre. In tragedy, there is no escape valve, no place for retreat. The aesthetic depends on the increasing pressure and the gradual winnowing of options and possibilities. I analyze Richard III (both Thomas More's and Shakespeare's) as the preeminent example of sanctuary-breaking and generic claustrophobia.

Abstract:
Depuis le XIXe siècle, la France a accueilli de nombreuses populations immigrées, venues d’Europe du Sud, du Maghreb, d’Afrique, d’Europe de l’Est, d’Asie du Sud-est. Dans ces mêmes décennies, des Chinois du Sud fuyant la pauvreté et le communisme, et des Vietnamiens et des Cambodgiens fuyant la guerre civile se sont installés en Thaïlande.La thèse étudie la manière dont la littérature destinée aux enfants traite des questions migratoires, et ce, en comparant deux contextes très contrastés : les productions narratives destinées aux enfants en France et en Thaïlande.

Abstract:
Spanish Republican philosophers in exile defended the Second Republic, legally proclaimed on April 14, 1931. They embraced the anti-fascist cause rising in the 1920s and the 1930s in Europe. During the Civil War, which lasted three years, they stood among the people. 1939 saw the victory of General Francisco Franco, supported by Nazi Germany and the Italy of Mussolini. Threatened with death, they had no choice but to escape from Spain. Some intellectuals experienced French concentration camps but, for the most part, they found refuge in Latin America, especially in Mexico and Venezuela. In exi

Abstract:
Traditionally, refugees have been represented as passive, silent, and abject. While such representations are often used to elicit sympathy and support, they do so at the risk of dehumanizing their subjects. By rendering refugees as apolitical and decontextualized, such representations encourage ways of imagining refugees that justify exclusionary practices; because they lack the rights and political voice of a citizen, refugees are not owed anything, and so their claims can be accepted or rejected at the will of the host country. This thesis explores the ways in which Rawi Hage, by representi

Abstract:
Ma thèse entreprend une évaluation critique et un compte rendu de ce que j'appelle la «littérature des camps de réfugiés» en tant que produit culturel et genre littéraire et interdisciplinaire en soi. Sur le plan de la taxonomie, l’appellation «littératuredes camps de réfugiés» risque de se retrouver dans le discours très homogénéisant, qui fusionne les différents récits de la vie des réfugiés, qu’il vise à contrebalancer. Le fait de classer les récits sélectionnés comme un genre littéraire révèle le caractère insaisissable d’une telle entreprise car les récits eux-mêmes oscillent entre différ

Abstract:
Despite a large influx of Guatemalans to cities such as Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., their narrative has largely been subsumed in the traditional Latino/a immigrant narrative. The importance of the historical specificity and traumatic nature of Guatemalan immigration, as a consequence of the Central American revolutions, has only now begun to be studied by scholars such as Arturo Arias and Claudia Milian, though the field of Latino/a studies is still largely focused on immigrants from Mexico, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. Thus, through an examination of two novels by Guatemalan-American authors,

This thesis explores the capacity of literature about flight and migration to contribute to shaping a community of solidarity in contemporary German society. It analyses three novels published after the 2015 refugee “crisis” – Ohrfeige by Abbas Khider, Gott ist nicht schüchtern by Olga Grjasnowa and Gehen, ging, gegangen by Jenny Erpenbeck. To examine the impact of such literature on readers, I apply Rita Felski’s theory about the uses of literature, and in particular in relation to the first two novels, its capacity to create shock and deliver soci

Abstract:
La recherche sur la littérature de la diaspora vietnamienne dans une perspective nord-américaine a été longtemps négligée par les critiques littéraires. Aux États-Unis, les écrits des auteurs d’origine vietnamienne sont habituellement inclus dans un corpus appelé « Asian-American literature » alors qu’au Québec, on préfère parler de « littérature migrante ». C’est pourquoi ce mémoire propose d’analyser The Gangster We Are All Looking For (2003), de Lê Thi Diêm Thúy, et Ru (2009), de Kim Thúy.
