dc.description.abstractCopyright © 2021 The Author. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) narrativizes exile and displacement by enacting these thematically and formally at almost every level of the text. Exploring human movement and the possibility of human community, it constitutes Shelley’s response not only to her personal circumstances, but also to a Europe riven by twenty-three years of war. This essay considers the novel’s philosophical project of hospitality and friendship through the movements of Victor Frankenstein and his “Creature”, tracking their attempts to forge social and emotional bonds in the face of successive displacements from family, nation, and humanity generally. This article is part of the special theme section on Mobility and Displacement in and around the Mediterranean: A Historical Approach, guest-edited by Cátia Antunes and Giedrė Blažytė. Resumos: Frankenstein (1818), de Mary Shelley, romantiza o exílio e o desenraizamento, apresentando ambos de forma temática e formal a todos os níveis textuais. Ao explorar a mobilidade humana e a possibilidade de criação de comunidades humanas, este livro traduz a reação de Shelley ao seu próprio contexto individual, mas também de uma Europa destruída por vinte e três anos de guerras. Este artigo analisa o projeto filosófico desta obra acerca dos conceitos de hospitalidade e amizade, através das personagens de Victor Frankenstein e da sua “Criatura”, seguindo as suas tentativas de forjar laços sociais e emocionais, após sofrerem sucessivos processos de desenraizamento em relação à família, à nação e à humanidade em geral. Este artigo faz parte do dossier temático Mobilidade e desenraizamento no Mediterrâneo em perspetiva histórica, organizado por Cátia Antunes e Giedrė Blažytė. Resumé: Publié à Londres en 1818, le Frankenstein de Mary Shelley aborde les thèmes de l’exil et du déplacement en les mettant en scène d’une façon thématique et formelle à presque tous les niveaux du texte. Explorant les mouvements des individus et la possibilité de former une communauté humaine, il constitue la réponse de Shelley non seulement à sa situation personnelle, mais aussi à une Europe déchirée par vingt-trois ans de guerre. Cet article examine le projet philosophique d’hospitalité et d’amitié du roman à travers les mouvements de Victor Frankenstein et de sa «Créature», en suivant leurs tentatives de créer et d’entretenir des liens sociaux et émotionnels face aux déplacements successifs de la famille, de la nation et de l’humanité en général.
