Vladimir Biti, Honorary President of the ICLA Committee on Literary Theory, has written Attached to Dispossession: Sacrificial Narratives in Post-imperial Europe. Building on the author’s recent edited volume Claiming the Dispossession, the book, published by Brill, focuses on the literary narratives of dispossession that emerged in response to the geopolitical reconfiguration of East Central Europe post World War I. In this turbulent environment, political sacrificial narratives found a breeding ground in which they were able to knit together the emerging frustrations and create new foundational myths. Against this backdrop, Biti interprets literary narratives of dispossession as individual and clandestine voices of opposition to the homogenizing pattern of public narratives.
