Codebò argues that present-day displacement originates in the dualism of power that pervades our polarized society and in the sweeping deterritorialization that is affecting people, objects, and signs. As the ties between subjectivity and territory break, being in the world means being displaced. Rather than narrating how subjectivity can mark a place, novels of displacement convey the crisis of subjectivity's connection to place. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using four works as case studies-Bernardo Carvalho's \u003ci\u003eNove noites, \u003c\/i\u003e Daniel Sada's \u003ci\u003ePorque parece mentira la verdad nunca se sabe, \u003c\/i\u003e Zadie Smith's \u003ci\u003eWhite Teeth, \u003c\/i\u003e and Mathias Énard's \u003ci\u003eZone\u003c\/i\u003e-Codebò investigates how globalization, displacement, and technology inform our understanding of subjectivity and one's place in the world.
