Marginalities and Migrants on the Move: A Comparative Reading of Medieval French Literature and Contemporary French Culture

我的研究将比较中世纪法国文学中文化边缘人物的肖像与当今法国文学中的移民肖像，强调他们的社会和地理运动。它将建立一个跨学科的对话之间的中世纪叙事，描绘了内部征服（法国）个人的边缘地位，和紧急移民文学，从法国的角度评论叙利亚/伊拉克移民危机。导演：Homi K.巴巴的理论，我的项目将建立在我的硕士核心课程论文。我的博士学位将修订medievalcanon和中东移民的斗争报道不佳，提供法国的边缘化/移民数字在中世纪和现代家庭叙事的代表性重读。我将解开中世纪庞蒂厄家谱（让德阿韦斯讷，La Fille du comte de Pontieu，萨拉丁），我将比较这与家庭移民叙述从加莱的情况。我将展示边缘/移民人物的流离失所是如何在各个时代构建法国身份小说的。这项研究可以通过对其他生活在法国领土上的撒拉逊人的文本研究，或者对目前关于法国出生的穆斯林的框架辩论来发展。它可以包含视觉材料。这项研究将反映跨时代的文化话语的建构性和边缘化/移民人物的四面楚歌的地位，改变我们如何看待自己和我们如何阅读叙事。

My research will compare portraits of culturally marginal figures in medieval French literature with those of migrants inpresent-day French literature, emphasising their social and geographical movements. It will set up an interdisciplinarydialogue between medieval narratives that depict the liminal status of the internally subjugated (French) individual, andemergent migrant literature, which comments on the Syrian/Iraqi migration crises from French perspectives. Framed byHomi K. Bhabha's theory, my project will build upon my MPhil Core Course Essay. My PhD will revise the medievalcanon and poorly reported struggles of middle-eastern migrants, offering re-readings of French representations ofmarginalised/migrant figures in medieval and modern-day family narratives. I will unpack the medieval Pontieu genealogy(Jean d'Avesnes, La Fille du comte de Pontieu, Saladin); I will compare this with familial migration narratives from theCalais situation. I will show how the displacements of marginal/migrant figures are essential to constructing Frenchidentity fictions across the ages. This study could develop through textual studies of the Saracen other living in Frenchterritories, or of current framing debates on French-born Muslims. It could incorporate visual materials. This study wouldreflect on the constructedness of cultural discourses across the ages and the embattled position of marginalised/migrantfigures, changing how we see ourselves and how we read narratives.
