Narrating the geopolitics of displacement. Marina Palei's
No full textThis chapter addresses the geopolitics of displacement from the viewpoint of embodied everyday experiences in the post-Soviet Russian context. The object of the investigation is the autobiographical account of displacement and migration by the Russophone Dutch writer living in the Netherlands, Marina Palei. Her story “Khutor” (The farm, 2004) weaves together different periods of the first-person narrator’s lifetime. One part is about a summer spent in the Estonian countryside in 1979, another is about her emigration to the Netherlands in 1995, and the third is about her stay on the island of Gotland, Sweden, at the beginning of the 2000s. What makes this story interesting from the viewpoint of geopolitics, is its take on how mobility and displacement affect the sense of self through everyday, mundane practices. This is accomplished by shifting the scale from the national and symbolic to the community and the body. The notion of geopolitics of displacement points to how the experience of displacement prompts the negotiation of individual agency and subjectivity within symbolic power production. Recurring border-crossings – linguistic, cultural, geographical – reveal how borders function in terms of bordering, cultural ordering and othering. The border-crossings and experience of displacement lead the protagonist to a different perception of herself and her home, the Soviet Union and Russia. The narration focalized through the scale of the body brings to the fore situated knowledge on individuals’ mobility, exclusion, estrangement and marginalization experienced not only on foreign ground, but also in one’s home country
