Paradigm of 1990s and Transformations of the National Identities in Georgian Intercultural-Migration Literature

Abstract

Political events of 90s of the 20th century can be seen most apparently in such rapidly changing sociocultural areas as national identity and literature. In the situation of “movement”, beyond the Georgian borders, the writers who have left Georgia, created the literature that, regarding contemporary accents, could be mentioned as Georgian intercultural-migration literature. We discuss paradigm of 90s and transformations of the national identities on the basis of the following pieces of work: Zurab Guruli’s (USA) “Elephant in the Dark” and Gabriel Tanie’s (Czechia) “Children of Canaan”
