Summary/Abstract: Między językami, kulturami, literaturami. Polska literatura emigracyjna w Berlinie i Sztokholmie po roku 1981 is a collective volume with the focus on the activity of writers with Polish cultural roots in Berlin and Stockholm within the past thirty years. The authors of the papers discuss the conditions of origin of migrant literature, address terminological and methodological issues, and provide interpretations of selected works. The status of émigrés as such is presented as changeable, dependent on a given historical-cultural context. The emergent issues at the cultural and language level, as well as the themes which are tightly connected to the experience of emigration or to the memories of the historic 20th century events are often addressed by the authors in a linguistically creative way.
