Àfrica calidoscòpica
El llibre presenta una selecció d’articles que tenen com a objectiu fer visible la realitat africana i dels africans, defugint la simplificació, habitual al món occidental, d’un continent que empara països, llengües, ètnies i cultures múltiples. Una heterogeneïtat que ha de servir per a enriquir-nos a tots. Isabel Marcillas és doctora en Filologia Catalana per la Universitat d’Alacant i professora en aquesta mateixa universitat. Forma part del Grup d’Estudis Transversals: Literatura i altres Arts en les Cultures Mediterrànies així com del grup de Recerca de la Literatura Contemporània, ambdós al si de la Universitat d’Alacant. Enrique Lomas López és llicenciat en Filologia Francesa per la Universitat de Granada i professor de llengües i literatura en secundària. També membre del Grup d’Estudis Transversals, les seues línies d’investigació se centren en les literatures magrebines escrites en castellà, català i francés.

African Immigrants in Contemporary Spanish Texts
Around the turn of 21st Century, Spain welcomed more than six million foreigners, many of them from various parts of the African continent. How African immigrants represent themselves and are represented in contemporary Spanish texts is the subject of this interdisciplinary collection. Analyzing blogs, films, translations, and literary works by contemporary authors including Donato Ndongo (Ecquatorial Guinea), Abderrahman El Fathi (Morocco), Chus Gutiérrez (Spain), Juan Bonilla (Spain), and Bahia Mahmud Awah (Western Sahara), the contributors interrogate how Spanish cultural texts represent, idealize, or sympathize with the plight of immigrants, as well as the ways in which immigrants themselves represent Spain and Spanish culture. At the same time, these works shed light on issues related to Spain’s racial, ethnic, and sexual boundaries; the appeal of images of Africa in the contemporary marketplace; and the role of Spain’s economic crisis in shaping attitudes towards immigration. Taken together, the essays are a convincing reminder that cultural texts provide a mirror into the perceptions of a society during times of change.
Convergències artístiques i textuals africanes a l'entorn de la Mediterrània
Aques llibre presenta una selecció d'articles referits a la realitat africana, enfocats des de disciplines diverses -literatura, pintura, cinema- i des de punts de vista diferents, tant el que es dedueix del món occidental com el proposat pels mateixos africans. El volum busca reflectir i reflexionar sobre aquesta parcel·la de l'alteritat amb l'objecte de reescriure la pròpia societat amb una perspectiva més global i integradora.
La buena distancia
La cuestión de cómo se negocia la «buena distancia» (Pascale Casanova: La République mondiale des Lettres, 1999) entre lo diferente y lo semejante respecto al grupo cultural mayoritario es uno de los elementos cruciales de este libro. Esto deriva de una observación: el acceso restringido de las comunidades migrantes y racializadas a la enunciación, que se reduce a unos cuantos temas relacionados con su herencia cultural, la experiencia migratoria, los estereotipos culturales o la vivencia de la discriminación y la exclusión social, y deja fuera asuntos propios de la experiencia general o individual. Este problema de dimensiones globales toma la historia reciente de España como estu...
Oculto ao sol
Este jogo que existe na migração entre um lugar e outro é o mesmo que ressurge nos meus versos e prosas; utilizo, com efeito, o eu possessivo mas também, sobretudo, o eu coletivo. Já que nas aventuras de uma viagem, de uma elevação, de uma inspiração..., as realidades de todas as margens se reencontram, as verdades de todas as sensibilidades entrechocam no lugar em que o eu coletivo busca uma pacificação das correntes e das tendências dando o seu braço a torcer à coerência. A. Bilal Traoré, “Eu possessivo e Eu coletivo entre jogos de memória”
