Perspectives on «Dante Politico»
This book argues that political concerns, inseparable from Dante’s biography, permeate his entire corpus, emerging at the intersection of the multiple fields of knowledge he explores, from the liberal arts to law, philosophy, and theology. It also shows that Dante, by elucidating the natural integration of the humanities with the sciences, continues to be a source of provocative insights and inspirations on how to be political beings today. The essays collected in the volume offer a range of close textual and contextual readings of Dante’s life and works grouped in four parts: 1. The Self and History, 2. Visions of the World: Cosmology and Utopia, 3. From the Language of Politics to the Language of Theology, 4. Instances of Political Reception in Asia and South America. The different disciplinary angles adopted by the contributors include history, economics, jurisprudence, linguistics, ethics, metaphysics, theology, cosmology, social thought, ecology, and the performing and visual arts. The collection addresses a specialized audience of Dante scholars, medievalists, historians, political philosophers and scientists, reception scholars, and legal and cultural historians.
Writing Islands
How contemporary Cuban writers build transnational communities In Writing Islands, Elena Lahr-Vivaz employs methods from archipelagic studies to analyze works of contemporary Cuban writers on the island alongside those in exile. Offering a new lens to explore the multiplicity of Cuban space and identity, she argues that these writers approach their nation as part of a larger, transnational network of islands. Introducing the term “arcubiélago” to describe the spaces created by Cuban writers, both on the ground and in print, Lahr-Vivaz illuminates how transnational communities are forged and how they function across space and time. Lahr-Vivaz considers how poets, novelists, and essayists...
Il folle volo
Il folle volo. Las rutas transatlánticas de Dante Alighieri tiene su origen en el proyecto Madrid città dantesca, que conmemoró con actividades académicas y culturales el séptimo centenario de la muerte del poeta florentino a lo largo del año 2021. Lejos de brindar un mapa exhaustivo de los diálogos entre Dante y las literaturas latinoamericanas, este libro ofrece al lector un conjunto de ensayos que observan su presencia en ultramar desde ángulos diversos y originales. El entusiasmo por la figura de Dante Alighieri que se desprende de este volumen no se circunscribe a su Infierno ni a su Paraíso, tampoco a la imagen de exul immeritus, sino que rescata sus múltiples rostros como poeta político, poeta de la modernidad, poeta del amor y poeta de la esperanza. Del abanico de voces que acuden a la obra del autor italiano como fuente de inspiración literaria, filosófica o política dan cuenta estos textos demostrando, al mismo tiempo, la capacidad de mestizaje de las letras latinoamericanas, proclives siempre al cruce de tradiciones heterogéneas con resultados insólitos y transformadores.
Argentina y España
Argentina y España han mantenido a lo largo de su historia un vínculo intenso. La distancia entre ambas no aminoró la atracción mutua, cercanía que se manifestó con avidez desde los tiempos coloniales, se revolucionó con violencia durante las embestidas independentistas y fue subyugando a millones de migrantes con la promesa de tierras, bienes y sueños. Es ya un recorrido de ida y vuelta, que ayudó a construir identidades nacionales con rasgos compartidos, fecundadas por los idiomas, las letras y las culturas. Si las relaciones bilaterales son de un perfil privilegiado en el escenario internacional, esa singularidad no ha estado libre de agudas tensiones. Argentina es un país difí...
Un periòdico "fascista": Il Mattino d’Italia y la sociedad argentina
En un país como la Argentina, caracterizado por un fuerte impacto de la migración ultramarina entre fines del siglo XIX e inicios del XX, la función de la prensa en lengua extranjera adquirió un valor social, cultural, económico y político inevitablemente central, tanto a nivel simbólico como material. La parábola de Il Mattino d’Italia, cotidiano argentino fascista en italiano, se sitúa en una fase particularmente compleja de la historia argentina, en la que revistió un papel significativo. Este trabajo, basándose en el análisis sistemático de los números del diario publicados entre 1930 y 1944 y de documentación archivística y otras fuentes argentinas y extranjeras (italianas y estadounidenses), pretende indagar y profundizar desde perspectivas inéditas la historia del periódico. Una historia que, como surge de las páginas del texto, se configura además como la historia de un sector particular de la sociedad argentina en la década de 1930, entrelazándose de forma variada y compleja con la cultura y la política de Buenos Aires, así como del interior de la República.

The Routledge Handbook of Violence in Latin American Literature
This Handbook brings together essays from an impressive group of well-established and emerging scholars from all around the world, to show the many different types of violence that have plagued Latin America since the pre-Colombian era, and how each has been seen and characterized in literature and other cultural mediums ever since. This ambitious collection analyzes texts from some of the region's most tumultuous time periods, beginning with early violence that was predominately tribal and ideological in nature; to colonial and decolonial violence between colonizers and the native population; through to the political violence we have seen in the postmodern period, marked by dictatorship, guerrilla warfare, neoliberalism, as well as representations of violence caused by drug trafficking and migration. The volume provides readers with literary examples from across the centuries, showing not only how widespread the violence has been, but crucially how it has shaped the region and evolved over time.
The Dogs of the Sinai
"Fortini/Cani" presents Fortini reading excerpts from his book, focusing on his alienation from Judaism and social relations, the rise of fascism in Italy, and the anti-Arab attitude of European culture. The Italian landscape provides a backdrop that highlights the meaning of the text.
The Europeanization of National Foreign Policies Towards Latin America
Who shapes the European Union's policy towards Latin America? How has this EU policy modified individual member states' relations with the region? This book provides a comparative account of seven member states' bilateral links with Latin America since 1945, in the context of their EU membership and based on the concept of 'Europeanization'. It illustrates how and why the main architects of this EU policy have been Spain and Germany. In contrast, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, which had little previous interaction with Latin America, have developed their current relations with that region virtually as a result of their EU membership. The United Kingdom and France lie in the middle: they have been influential in certain policy-areas and key periods in history, while they have adapted to what is done at the EU level in others. Practitioners, established academic experts as well emerging scholars in the field bring to be bear a novel combination of pioneering research and cutting edge conceptual analysis on this important but neglected area of the EU's foreign relations.
The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
