THE POETICS OF THE MARGINS KARTONIERT (TB)

This volume contains a selection of the proceedings of a conference on European problems of
identity titled Europe and its Others  which was held in St Andrews in July 2007. It looks at
some of the histories and stories that connect the European margins to an imagined or imaginary
centre of this complex continent as seen mostly from within  and with self-reflective insights
from literary  socio-historical and cinematic perspectives. By following the marginal route
created by the essays  the volume juxtaposes  as in a mosaic  a range of artistic discourses
produced in many European languages. Each of these discourses highlights a different perception
of belonging or not belonging to Europe  and each of these discourses brings to the fore in its
respective society a fresh perspective on new European territories seen not as 'the other' but
rather as contiguous tiles in a mosaic of idiosyncrasies. Lying one next to the other  these
territories engage in dialogue poetically - harmoniously or dissonantly - in an attempt to
create through their juxtaposition an enigmatic poetic discourse of the margins.
