In Search of Migrant Writing: The Cosmopolitics of Fiction from the British Isles

Locating the discussion about Polish literature written on the British Isles after 2004 at the intersection of postcolonial and post-dependence studies, the article aims to show the need to formulate critical paradigms that would be able to include writings characterized by intense wordliness. This term, which is key for migration writing, coined by Edward Said and signifies an active awareness of the world (agency and subjectivity). It develops in migration writing as'cosmopolitics-the cosmopolitanism of contemporary mass migrations. Presenting Piotr Czerwhiski's fiction as a case study, Kalodziejczyk traces processes of going beyond the nation/migration dichotomy in today's mobility, nomadism and other forms of migration.
