Kim	Unworlded Empires: Homotopic Narration and the Modernist Racial Unconscious	2021		.txt	text/plain	422	10	0	Through a special study of the common concerns about the historical and personal development of human worlding across these thinkers' philosophies of human being, my project introduces the mathematically-borrowed concept of homotopia, or the change in valence that an entity accrues as it moves from one symbolic domain to another, as a formal heuristic within modernist texts. I investigate homotopia as a structuring trope for re-imaginings of the existentially and culturally contingent, ultimately racialized, and thereby ever formally progressive, nature of human being-in-the-world amidst the decline of European imperialism in the interwar period in Germany, Britain, and Ireland in the (inter)national imaginaries of the canonical modernist fiction of Thomas Mann, Ford Madox Ford, Virginia Woolf, and James Joyce.	cache/3x816m3418k.txt	txt/3x816m3418k.txt
