1The question "Where are you from?", which is often heard at conferences, foregrounds the link between identity and location. This link proved constitutive of Imagined Communities, Recuperated Homelands, a conference that was organized by Professors Monica Manolescu and Charlotte Sturgess and took place at the University of Strasbourg on the eleventh and twelfth of March 2011. At the heart of the conference was the way Canadian and North American minority and exilic writing questions and reconceptualises fixed notions of "identity,""home" and "belonging." The discussions were haunted by both spatial and temporal dualisms, and by such related oppositions as "insider" vs. "outsider" and "rooted" vs. "rootless". The fact that the notions cannot be rigidly separated was forcefully reaffirmed, and emphasis was put on border crossing as well as the potentially creative role played by the liminal—something that was beautifully illustrated by the conference poster as well. Linda Gass's quilt Split Personality, as stated on the artist's website, portrays a San Francisco wetland and a salt-pond separated by a man-made channel.

2The fact that the wetland and the once-wetland are divided by water is highly significant considering that water is never a clear border but rather a liminal zone, connecting rather than separating. As such, the quilt perfectly illustrated the border crossing that was at the heart of the conference. For the first time, the University of Strasbourg united specialists on Canadian and North American writing. Several speakers crossed and questioned the border generally maintained between the two literatures, as well as many of the other dichotomies related to their interest in exilic and minority writing.
Day 1: Friday, March 11th 2011
3The opening address by Jean-Jacques Chardin, director of the research team "Recherches sur le monde anglophone", reasserted the need to discuss notions of home and belonging in an increasingly transnational world and called brief attention to the crisis in the humanities. Jean-Jacques Chardin confirmed the importance of initiatives and open discussion in the field of the humanities as well as the need to question borders and margins with respect to constructions of (national) identity and the way the latter is recuperated in and reshaped by minority literatures.
4Jean-Jacques Chardin's introduction was followed by the conference's first keynote address, which was delivered by Dr. Larissa Lai—writer, poet, literary critic and lecturer at the University of British Columbia. As the title of her lecture indicates, "How to Do 'You': Methods of Asian/Indigenous Relation" tried to envision positive relationships between Asian and Indigenous people in Canada, keeping in mind their complex historical connection with the Europeans. Even though Asian and Indigenous people interacted long before the Europeans came, the (imposed) label "Asian Canadian" unambiguously marks the complexity of the Asian predicament: they are both settlers asserting Canada's neo-colonial relations with Indigenous people and colonial subjects who have suffered under the Canadian state. In her attempt to work towards a less dichotomous way of thinking about Asian and Indigenous people, Larissa Lai focused on two multimedia performances as potential answers to the question "How to Do 'You'?". The first project she concentrated on was "How We Forgot Here" by the Toronto-based Movement Project, the second one David Kang's "How to Feed a Piano", which problematizes notions of agency. The former performance, which brought to the stage a fictional airline where Indigenous people are in control of movement, was shown to provide a productive platform to stage diverse stories of movement and connect the different kinds of displacement and violence experienced by (im)migrants and Indigenous people.
Session 1: "Communities and Margins"
5Displacement was also at the centre of the first session, which united four papers on "Communities and Margins". David Stirrup (University of Kent, Canterbury) read two novels by Native North American writers Thomas King and Eric Gansworth in order to investigate how they use art to open up considerations of homeland, belonging and citizenship.
6Hans Bak (Radboud University, Nijmegen) focused on one visual and two literary representations of the flight from slavery and Canada as an imagined utopia, and questioned the tension between nostalgia for a lost homeland and an imagined community in exile. Hans Bak's corpus—works by African-American painter Jacob Lawrence, African-American novelist Ishmael Reed and Canadian author Lawrence Hill—further reflected his insistence on questioning existing margins.
7Françoise Kral (Université Paris Ouest) discussed Benedict Anderson's and Arjun Appadurai's reflections on communities to consider the impact and status of recently constructed networks. If communities are understood as impossible to break away from, how can one interpret virtual communities from which one can disconnect at any time and in which the individual is but a link? The discussion was connected to works by Kiran Desai and Jhumpa Lahiri, and followed by comments on the changing status of "hypermodernity", which does not seem to be that far removed anymore from real life.
8Martin Kuester (University of Marburg) centred on Jan Guenther Braun's Somewhere Else, a lesbian Mennonite novel. By doing so, he drew attention not only to the writing of an existing religious and linguistic minority, but also to a double marginalization within that community as a result of gender-related issues. What especially came out from this session was the complex and loaded character of the notion "community" and the need to continue to question it as well as its margins.
Session 2: "Unsettling Cartographies"
9The second session of the day was called "Unsettling Cartographies" and brought together five papers that—in different ways—reflected on notions of belonging and mapping (oneself) as problematized by minority and exilic writing. Ada Savin (Université de Versailles) discussed Cristina Garcia's The Agüero Sisters and the book's convoluted links between the human body and body politics, and between home and exile. She presented the graft as a central metaphor and trope, and drew attention to language to further question the possibility of ever being fully "at home"
10Pilar Cuder-Dominguez (University of Huelva) focused on the immigrant's process of psychological mapmaking and mapbreaking. She used Malashri Lal's distinction to examine Nalini Warriar's The Enemy Within and present the book's portrayal of mapmaking with respect to a protagonist who is doubly marginalized—both as an immigrant and as a woman.
11Virginia Ricard (Université Bordeaux 3) shed light on the writings of the almost forgotten Jewish American writer Ludwig Lewisohn, and in particular on his novel The Island Within, which, as suggested by the title, can be read as a representation of the protagonist's inner life. Virginia Ricard focused on the way community is represented in the novel, on the trope of the island and on the book's critique of assimilation.
12Paule Lévy (Université de Versailles) offered an in-depth discussion of Korea-born, American novelist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Dictée, a book that defies easy categorisation due to its manifold narrative ruptures and unfixed boundaries. As the narrator explores her own genealogy, she inscribes missing narratives into official history and powerfully evokes the history of colonisation. Paule Lévy showed how the book's unfaithful transcription and translation emphasize its problematic relationship with its readers.
13The last speaker of the day, Lianne Moyes (Université de Montréal) completed the circle by returning to Larissa Lai's discussion of the relationship between Indigenous people and immigrants in Canada. Lianne Moyes's paper dealt with Tessa McWatt's Out of My Skin, a novel that represents the Oka Crisis from the point of view of a non-native woman of Guyanese heritage who befriends a Native woman. The book explores (dis)similarities in the self- and other-constructions of immigrants and First Nations people, as well as Canada's reluctance to acknowledge its colonial history. The book, it was argued, can be read as an allegory of the relationship between Canada and First Nations in the sense that Canadians are always dominant. Linking the several papers was the idea that, despite the desire to find an individual and communal sense of self, it is impossible to ever be fully "at home".
Day 2: Saturday, March 12th 2011
14The second day was opened by Deborah Madsen (University of Geneva), the second keynote speaker, who presented a paper entitled "The Rhetoric of Double Allegiance: Imagined Communities in North American Diasporic Chinese Literatures". Deborah Madsen zoomed in on one of the conference's most strongly targeted questions, "Where are you from?", and suggested that mainstream diasporic Chinese literature answers the question with "neither (here) – nor (there)" i.e. with a double negative denying the migrant a sense of belonging. This "Orientalist airport paradigm", which can be found in novels by Amy Tan and Wayson Choy, is consonant with the dominant ideology in suggesting it is only possible to have one affiliation and in restating the nationalistic desire to belong either "here" or "there". Deborah Madsen suggested to exchange that rhetoric for a "both-and paradigm" as exemplified by works by Fred Wah and Larissa Lai. Rather than repeating the illusion of an imaginary, fixed homeland, these authors play with the conventions of nationalism and accentuate that the migrant can never return. Emphasis was put on multiple national affiliations, and on transnational forms of immigrant belonging. The discussion that ensued found itself confronted with the inability to completely dismiss dualistic oppositions, as the "both-and paradigm" also consists of two elements, which are inevitably suggestive of essence and stability.
Session 3: "Borders, Borderlands, Homelands"
15The attention to "Borders, Borderlands, Homelands" continued in the conference's third session, which was opened by Yves-Charles Grandjeat (Université Bordeaux 3) and his discussion of Helena Maria Viramontes's Their Dogs Came With Them. Yves-Charles Grandjeat paid close attention to the chronotope of the barrio and illustrated the ways identity and space are interconnected in this strongly emplaced narrative. At the heart of his discussion was the idea that there is no time before exile, that loss is what links the characters and that loss as such can be seen as fiction's main catalyst.
16Cristina Ghiban-Mocanu (University of Iasi) continued Yves-Charles Grandjeat's exploration of Chicano/a literature by dealing with the writing of Ana Castillo and Sandra Cisneros and their use of neplanta (i.e. the liminal) as a literary topos, functioning both as actual space and as metaphor.
17Michel Feith (Université de Nantes), like Yves-Charles Grandjeat, considered the importance of fiction writing to imagining the self and community. His focus was on the figure of the trickster and intertextuality in contemporary Native American minority writing, more specifically in Louis Owens's Nightland and Dark River, and their problematization of notions of authenticity and (Native) identity.
18Marie-Agnès Gay (Université Lyon 3) offered an intriguing reading of Shawn Wong's Homebase, a fourth generation Chinese-American coming-of-age story centred on the essentialist quest for identity. The quest that is at the heart of the novel was shown to be destabilized by the text's multiple uncanny passages as well as its poetics of defamiliarization, both of which stress the inescapable persistence of the in-between. At the heart of this session was the notion of the liminal and the fact that it can function both as a critique and as a creative force.
Session 4: "Immigration, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism"
19The fourth and final session aimed at exploring "Immigration, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism" and started with Belén Martín-Lucas's (University of Vigo) investigation of a Canadian (The Kappa Child by Hiromi Goto) and American (Stealing Buddah's Dinner by Bich Minh Nguyen) fictional response to one of the ultimate classics of displacement, i.e. Little House on the Prairie. Both Hiromi Goto's and Bich Minh Nguyen's novels were shown to present critical evaluations of processes of racialization and of racism in Ingalls Wilder's text.
20Claire Omohovère (Université de Montpellier) accentuated the similarities between two novels dealing with the problems experienced by teenagers trying to grow up in a marginal(ized) community, one Indian (Richard Van Camp's The Lesser Blessed), another Mennonite (Miriam Toews's A Complicated Kindness). The prominent place attributed to modernity as well as the novels' energy and humour proved to be of central importance.
21Marie-Claude Perrin-Chenour (Université Paris Ouest) presented a paper on "Jamaica Kincaid's Regressive Writing" based on The Autobiography of My Mother. Again, the return to a pre-colonial past proved impossible and, as a result, the protagonist found herself trapped and isolated in her mind. Marie-Claude Perrin-Chenour underlined the importance of the text's narrative strategies in its portrayal of the oscillation between regression and opening up to language and communication.
22Anca-Raluca Radu (University of Gottingen) brought the conference to a close with her reading of What We All Long For by Caribbean-born Dionne Brand. Anca-Raluca Radu contrasted the first generation's acceptation of their categorisation as hyphenated people in the multicultural Canadian mosaic with the younger generation's search for forms of community that surpass ethnic belonging. The speaker underlined the importance of "new cosmopolitanism," which puts forward "bricolated identities" and processes of change, and can be opposed to multiculturalism and its reliance on the binary opposition between a white Canadian "we" and a non-white, visible "other." This question was a common thread in the session, as all the papers focused on ways of avoiding the trap of thinking about belonging in a dualistic way.
23Coming from a multitude of places and belonging to a wide variety of communities, the conference speakers and audience gathered in Strasbourg formed an imagined community that considerably added to understanding the complex nature of home, belonging and (individual and communal) identity, and the way those notions are problematized in and by North American and Canadian minority and exilic writing. Even though the participants represented different disciplines and brought their own interests to the discussion, the borders seemingly separating them were easily crossed, leading to an interesting array of cross-fertilizations. Michel Feith's discussion of the trickster, for instance, added to Anca-Raluca Radu's discussion of What We All Long For and was strongly related to exchanges on many of the other novels as well, as several of them stressed the importance of border crossing and the inescapable persistence of the liminal. Important as well was the idea of double marginalization (e.g. Claire Omhovère, Martin Kuester, Pilar Cuder-Dominguez), which confirmed the need to profoundly question the dynamics within given communities and the complex workings of insider-outsider politics. Another purpose common to all participants was to reassert the importance of language and writing. Attention was repeatedly drawn to the central role story-telling plays in "recuperating" a sense of self and community, while at the same time stressing the unreliability of language, as illustrated by the books' transgressive narrative techniques. The diversity of novels discussed—American, Canadian, old, contemporary, canonical, marginal—led to an agreement on the need to continue to challenge notions of authenticity and community, and move towards a new paradigm that acknowledges the plural nature of our affiliations. What matters most is not to find an unequivocal "either-or" answer to the question "Where are you from?" but to share stories of movement and allow different forms of displacement and diverse (traumatic) experiences of (forced) movement to interact—a process of exchange that was embodied by the conference itself.

"We Buy Houses In Alamo Heights!"
Alamo Heights, Texas
Alamo Heights is one of our favorite neighborhoods. Beautiful homes throughout, but every now and then you'll see a vacant or unwanted home. Check Out How Our Process Works. If you have a home near you that is vacant and has become an eye sore than give me a call! 210-896-8359
If you know someone who wants to sell their Alamo Heights house… I'm ready to give you a fair offer.
I'm looking for your unwanted property. Let me buy your Alamo Heights house now, regardless of condition. If you find me an unwanted or vacant property in Alamo Heights and we purchase the property then I will give you $500 – $1000 for a finders fee. One of the best feelings is turning an eye sore into a beautiful rehabbed property that restores your neighborhood. There is no sense in having an eye sore in your Alamo Heights neighborhood. We can fix it!
Avoiding foreclosure? Facing divorce? Moving? Upside down in your mortgage? Liens? It doesn't matter whether you live in it, you're renting it out, it's vacant, or not even habitable. We help owners who have inherited an unwanted property, own a vacant house, are behind on payments, owe liens, downsized and can't sell… even if the house needs repairs that you can't pay for… and yes, even if the house is fire damaged or has bad rental tenants.
Basically, if you have a property and need to sell it… we'd like to make you a fair cash offer and close on it when you're ready to sell.
We buy houses Alamo Heights?
We usually don't use an agent because sometimes selling through an agent is not for everyone.
But I agree there are times when its best to use an agent.
And as a bonus…
- don't clean up and repair the property
- don't waste time finding an agent who you trust and who can deliver on their promise of selling your house quickly
- you won't need to sign a contract that binds you to an agent for a certain term
- you won't be waiting or wondering if your house will sell (and hoping)
We usually buy cash but we also have approved financing which helps us buy more houses … we're ready to buy right now!
All that hassle can add stress, months to the process, and in the end after paying the agent's expensive fees, you may or may not be ahead of the game.
We work differently at South Texas Home Investors. When you contact us and submit the short property information form (below), we'll give you a fair all-cash offer on your house within 24 hours… and the best part is: we can close whenever YOU choose to close – it's entirely up to you. It doesn't matter what condition the house is in, or even if there are tenants in there that you can't get rid of… don't worry about it. We'll take care of it for you. And if you need the cash quickly, we can close in as little as 7 days because we buy houses with cash and don't have to rely on traditional bank financing. (Go here to learn about our process →)
In short…
No matter what condition your house is in; or situation or timeframe you're facing…
My goal is to help make your life easier and get you out from under the property that's stressing you out… while still paying a fast, fair, and honest price for your house.
Or Give Us A Call Now At: (210) 896-8359
We help property owners just like you, in all kinds of situations. From divorce, foreclosure, death of a family member, burdensome rental property, and all kinds of other situations. We buy houses in Alamo Heights and surrounding areas and pay a fair cash price, fast. Sometimes, those who own property simply have lives that are too busy to take the time to do all of things that typically need to be done to prepare a house to sell on the market… if that describes you, just let us know about the property you'd like to be rid of and sell your house fast for cash.
If you simply don't want to put up with the hassle of owning that house any longer, and if you don't want to put up with the hassle and time-consuming expense of selling your property the traditional way, let us know about the property you'd like to be rid of and sell your house fast for cash. Talk to someone in our office before submitting your property information by calling us today at (210) 896-8359
We buy houses Alamo Heights, Texas 78209 and all surrounding areas in Texas. If you need to sell your house fast in Texas, connect with us… we'd love to make you a fair no-obligation no-hassle offer. Take it or leave it. You've got nothing to lose 🙂

'The Way to Minack'
Terms of Use and Security & Privacy
Natural England
The maps below depict the fields outline and show the progress of the coastal path, part of which Derek himself created. A map
depicting the Dorminack tenancy is also available but please contact us for a copy of this.
The first map is an OS Map dated 1908, the second is dated 1964 and the third is dated 1995. You will see the paths changing over
time. In 1908 the pathways only crossed Minack and Oliver land from the Winding Lane. In 1964 we see the beginnings of a coastal
path with finally, in 1995, the coastal path truly established and now crossing Minack. In this later map we have created a visual
guide to the fields and places mentioned in the books together with photos. Please take your time using your mouse to cross over
Minack and Oliver Land to find these.
The final map is shown courtesy of Natural England as this shows the Higher Stewardship Scheme for Oliver Land which has been
designated with public access until 2020. Please note that access to Minack is
not included
as this is private property and no-one
should attempt to use the gated entrance/exit to Dorminack found along the coastal path. Nor should anyone use the original
entrance to Oliver Land, at the end of the Winding Lane. The lane is only for access by Minack residents and the Trustees of The
Derek and Jeannie Tangye Minack Chronicles Nature Trust, the latter having access to Oliver Land from the lane in order to bring in
equipment necessary to maintain Oliver Land.
We would add that we have included this section because so many people have expressed their desire to see Minack and Oliver Land
but for various reasons are unable to do so. For that reason we reproduce them here. (Derek would not necessarily approve of such as
he felt that by reading the books people will either travel to Minack in their mind or find it for themselves)
When visiting please treat Oliver Land with due care especially remembering the country code.
It is a special place for wildlife and we do not have a right to be there only
Please click on each map for an enlarged version. The 1995 version will take you to an interactive webpage.

Ford F-250 Powerstroke AccessoriesWritten by Benjamin Messmer
Ford F-250 Powerstroke accessories offer options for enhancing every aspect of your big truck. The Powerstroke diesel engines offered in Ford's F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks offer more power and torque than the other manufacturers, but you probably want even more. And it's easy to get more power and capability for your truck with the right accessories.
The most popular way to get some extra grunt from your Powerstroke engine is to install performance chips, microtuners, or programmers. No, you don't have to know anything about computers or wiring to use these digital dynamos-it's as easy as plugging the gadgets into the right socket. Once installation is complete, these Ford F-250 Powerstroke accessories will give you at least 10 percent more horsepower and 15 percent or more torque. I don't have to tell you that increased torque is the name of the game in towing.
No vehicle says more about its owner's attitude than a heavy duty truck. More and more people want Super Duty trucks because they have active lives and need the powerful potential offered by a diesel truck. Accessories can help you personalize your big truck.
Ford F-250 Powerstroke Accessories Equal Truck Personality
Truck owners do things with their vehicles that other people aren't able to. The Power Stroke V-8 diesel motors offered in Ford's Super Duty line of trucks are up to almost any task, but everybody wants to really maximize their truck's capabilities. A wide range of Ford F-250 Powerstroke accessories can transform your Ford into the King of the Hill.

Isn't it interesting that the Antifa just can't seem to get all that worked up about any of this?
By Doug Bandow
Among America's more important actors and singers is Paul Robeson, born a century ago. An impressive talent who struggled against pervasive racism, Robeson would seem to deserve the centennial celebration of his life beginning this month. Unfortunately, he had an ugly side: He was an avowed communist who received the Stalin Peace Prize in 1952.
Anyone can make a mistake, but Robeson knew what he was doing. In 1949, he met in Moscow with his friend, Yiddish author Itzik Feffer, who informed Robeson of the start of Joseph Stalin's anti-Semitic purges. Robeson told reporters on his return to the United States that "I heard no word about" anti-Semitism. Feffer was later murdered by Stalin.
One wonders how Robeson, who died in 1976, would have responded to the collapse of communism. A few unrepentant communists remain: two dozen fill Sunset Hall, a Los Angeles home for the aged begun by Unitarians. The facility sports a picture of Robeson, a bust of Soviet revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, and books on Marxism, Chinese dictator Mao Zedong and leading Bolshevik Leon Trotsky.
Sunset Hall's residents spend their time pining for the good ol' days. At age 8, Glady Foreman, now 90, was labeled a "little socialist" by her father. She predicts that "socialism, crushed to the Earth, will rise again."
Jacob Darnov, 101, was a messenger for the early Soviet army. He unashamedly proclaims that Lenin is "the greatest politician we ever had in this world."
Wayne Friedlander, who ran Sunset Hall until recently, says that these people "are the giants," to whom he, a former member of Students for a Democratic Society, owes an enormous debt. "Giants."
Yes, giant fools. What else can one call people who promoted, and still defend, the most murderous philosophy in human history?
