Alongside a liberating treatment of the English language, Ernest
Hemingway realized some often overlooked innovations in multicultural
subject matter. In six of the seven novels published during his
lifetime, the protagonist is abroad, bilingual, and bicultural?and
these archetypes have significant implications for each character?s
sense of identity. In Paris or Paname interprets Hemingway?s
overdetermined use of foreignness as a literary device, characterizing
how cultural displacement informs plot dynamics. The investigation
historicizes the archetypal protagonist?s process of (re)orientation
through attention to his intercultural adoptions in language, alcohol
consumption, sports, and betrothal rites. Herlihy situates his
argument within an apposite research framework from psychological
studies on migration, anthropological examinations of cultural
ceremony, and literary theory on the poetics of displacement. The
analysis offers groundbreaking insights on the distribution of
previously overlooked structural patterns (themes, motifs, and
symbols) that are present throughout Hemingway?s novelistic corpus,
and provides a compelling perspective on the aesthetics of the
expatriate/immigrant writing process.
