Abstract
Abstract: Drawing upon Critical Refugee Studies, this article argues that foregrounding refugitude is essential for reading Linda Lê's work, as her aesthetic project fundamentally combats reductive representations to imagine alternative representational ethics. Beginning with an overview of refugitude aesthetics and where Lê's littérature déplacée fits, this article then explores how Lê rehearses these aesthetics in three works across her career: "Vinh L." in Les évangiles du crime, Kriss , and Je ne répondrai plus jamais de rien . Focusing on Lê's consistent refusals in these texts, this article will illuminate both the refugitude in Lê's art and the art of Lê's refugitude .
