Contemporary Italian Diversity in Critical and Fictional Narratives

Autor: Ron Kubati , Marie Orton , Graziella Parati

Número de Páginas: 303

Contemporary Italian Diversity in Critical and Fictional Narratives is about identity—individual and national—and belonging. It is also an affirmation of diversity. The editors of this volume have brought together articles that analyze the literature of migration as well as creative pieces by recognized authors who have a lived experience of migration. English speakers will find their own societal struggles with diversity mirrored in Italy’s colonial inheritance and its renewed nationalism, populism, xenophobia, and shifting national identity.The artists and scholars who have contributed to this book challenge national discourses, dehumanizations, and issues of race and gender. But many also seek to move beyond the negative and critical to claim belonging—especially national belonging—in the name of diversity as part of human experience. The chapters emphasize how individuals both reflect and enact societal change, and they foreground the inescapable fact that human differences and migration drive and shape societal identity in our world.

Las mañanas del café Rostand

Autor: Ismaíl Kadaré

Número de Páginas: 285

En "Las mañanas del café Rostand" Ismaíl Kadaré evoca el café en el que tantas horas pasó desde su primer encuentro con París al principio de los años setenta, gracias a que el régimen comunista, que imponía su dictadura en su Albania natal, tuvo a bien el permitirle salir del país unos días para trasladarse a la capital francesa a petición de su editor. Kadaré nos cuenta las primeras sensaciones que sintió al verse en París y la relación especial que desde entonces mantuvo con esta ciudad que años después le acogió permanentemente cuando pudo dejar su país. Durante años, cada mañana, aún hoy en día, ha pasado las horas escribiendo sobre una de las mesas del café Rostand, frente a los jardines de Luxemburgo. Por las páginas de "Las mañanas del café Rostand" pasan los recuerdos de sus vivencias en Tirana y Moscú, sus amigos de juventud en una Albania opresiva y gris, sus primeras lecturas de "Macbeth", su pasión por las tragedias griegas, la libertad que vive intensamente en sus paseos por París, los escritores a los que tuvo ocasión de conocer, las "cosas inexactas, por no llamarlas "irresponsables"" que se le "ocurrían normalmente en España...". ...

Writing Migration through the Body

Autor: Emma Bond

Número de Páginas: 291

Writing Migration through the Body builds a study of the body as a mutable site for negotiating and articulating the transnational experience of mobility. At its core stands a selection of recent migration stories in Italian, which are brought into dialogue with related material from cultural studies and the visual arts. Occupying no single disciplinary space, and drawing upon an elaborate theoretical framework ranging from phenomenology to anthropology, human geography and memory studies, this volume explores the ways in which the skin itself operates as a border, and brings to the surface the processes by which a sense of place and self are described and communicated through the migrant body. Through investigating key concepts and practices of transnational embodied experience, the book develops the interpretative principle that the individual bodies which move in contemporary migration flows are the primary agents through which the transcultural passages of images, emotions, ideas, memories – and also histories and possible futures – are enacted.

Law, Literature and Legal Counterfactuals

Autor: Alexandra Juster

Número de Páginas: 290

Based on the long-established American law and literature movement, the interdisciplinary research field of 'law and literature' is also beginning to hesitantly establish itself in Europe. The German Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 1385 ‘Law and Literature’ has provided an important impetus for this development. The present work builds on the latter and aims to develop a contrastive interdisciplinary research method ('legal counterfactual') that claims to offer a methodological basis for the further development of the young research field of 'law and literature'. The particular focus herein is on law in literature. An overview of the heterogeneous research approaches in Italy, France, Belgium, and Germany is first provided. Thereafter, the focus shifts to a theoretical examination of the methodological concepts of interdisciplinarity and counterfactuality on the one hand, and the specific approaches to the text – namely discourse and hermeneutics – on the other. Based on these theoretical 'building blocks', the dividing lines between legal and literary studies are drawn in the first step, to identify the resulting intersections in the second step: the written text as a ...

In these stories representing the last three decades of Albanian writing--especially the burst of creativity in the newfound freedom of the 1990s--readers will encounter work that reflects the literary paradox of Eastern Europe in the late twentieth century: the startling originality of the new uneasily coupled with the strains of history; the sophistication and self-consciousness of late (or post-) modernity married to the simplicity of a literature first finding its voice; a refusal of political influence and pressure expressed through frankly political subject matter.
