- Transatlantic Aliens is the product of six years of research, including a one-year Fulbright Fellowship. It re-examines the careers of seven major figures from the “intellectual migration” of the mid-twentieth century in their historical contexts. It draws extensively on lengthy periods of archival research in the United States, including correspondence, diaries, notebooks and other unpublished material. It addresses a range of different national cultures, including Russian, German, British, French and Romanian. Anchored in literary studies, the book also engages deeply and for sustained periods with several other media (painting, drawing, film) and disciplines (history of art, philosophy and political theory).
