  • The Minor Transnationalism of Christopher Isherwood
    CENTRAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY A SINGULAR NOMAD: THE MINOR TRANSNATIONALISM OF CHRISTOPHER ISHERWOOD by CALVIN W. KEOGH Doctoral Dissertation Submitted to Central European University Gender Studies Department In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Comparative Gender Studies CEU eTD Collection Supervisor: Jasmina Lukić Budapest, Hungary August, 2018 CEU eTD Collection Declaration I hereby declare that this dissertation contains no materials previously accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions, and contains no materials previously written and/or published by any other persons, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographic reference. Calvin W. Keogh CEU eTD Collection CEU eTD Collection Abstract This project brings a transnational perspective to the work of Christopher Isherwood (1904-86), a writer who began his career in the UK in the 1920s, established his reputation in mainland Europe in the 1930s, and published most of his writing in the US from the 1940s-80s. Transnationalism in literary studies is presented as a critical methodology of selection and analysis, which calls attention to the work of migrant writers and involves a sophisticated approach to related issues of identity, selfhood, and subject positioning. A selection of novels and novellas from the three main periods of Isherwood’s career is made according to his concept of Wanderjahren, or years of wandering, which refers to a time from before he left London in the 1920s to when he felt settled in the US in the 1960s. For the purposes of analysis, ‘minor transnationalism’ is presented as a theoretical framework on the basis of the philosophy of nomadism and the related concept of minor literature as devised by Gilles Deleuze (1925-95) and Félix Guattari (1930-92).
