Italia, Portogallo, Brasile: un incontro di storia, lingua e letteratura attraverso i secoli
I contributi riuniti nel volume, presentati per la prima volta in occasione del I Convegno dell'AISPEB (Associazione di Studi Portoghesi e Brasiliani), tenutosi nel 2012 presso le sedi dell'Università di Roma “La Sapienza” e dell'Università di Roma Tre, offrono un panorama di temi, linguistici e letterari, legati sia al contesto portoghese che a quello brasiliano. I saggi d’argomento letterario rinnovano il contributo italiano allo studio della letteratura luso-brasiliana, rimanendo nel solco di una tradizione nazionale ricca di spunti, che ha visto arrivare proprio dall’Italia alcuni contributi storici, filologici ed ermeneutici tuttora indispensabili per comprendere l’opera dei maggiori autori di lingua portoghese. I saggi di argomento linguistico sintetizzano invece alcuni dei risultati prodotti dalle cattedre di lingua, di recente istituzione in Italia, privilegiando in particolar modo tematiche legate al binomio lingua-traduzione.

The History of Futurism
Futurism began as an artistic and social movement in early twentieth-century Italy. Until now, much of the scholarship available in English has focused only on a single individual or art form. This volume seeks to present a more complete picture of the movement by exploring the history of the movement, the events leading up to the movement, and the lasting impact it has had as well as the individuals involved in it. The History of Futurism: The Precursors, Protagonists, and Legacies addresses the history and legacy of what is generally seen as the founding avante-garde movement of the twentieth century. Geert Buelens, Harald Hendrix, and Monica Jansen have brought together scholarship from an international team of specialists to explore the Futurism movement as a multidisciplinary movement mixing aesthetics, politics, and science with a particular focus on the literature of the movement.
Inventing Futurism
In 1909 the poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti published the founding manifesto of Italian Futurism, an inflammatory celebration of "the love of danger" and "the beauty of speed" that provoked readers to take aggressive action and "glorify war--the world's only hygiene." Marinetti's words unleashed an influential artistic and political movement that has since been neglected owing to its exaltation of violence and nationalism, its overt manipulation of mass media channels, and its associations with Fascism. Inventing Futurism is a major reassessment of Futurism that reintegrates it into the history of twentieth-century avant-garde artistic movements. Countering the standard view of Futurism as na...

The Great Migrator
Unlike other writers, who have viewed the export of American art during the 1950s and 1960s as another form of Cold War propagandizing (and famous American artists as cultural imperialists), Ikegami sees the global rise of American art as a cross-cultural phenomenon in which each art community Rauschenberg visited was searching in different ways for cultural and artistic identity in the midst of Americanization. Rauschenberg's travels and collaborations established a new kind of transnational network for the postwar art world---prefiguring the globalization of art before the era of globalization. --
A Responsibility to the World: Saramago, Politics, Philosophy
In a 1987 interview, José Saramago eloquently expressed what could be considered his political-philosophical manifesto: “Human beings should not content themselves with the role of mere observers. They bear a responsibility to the world; they must actively engage and intervene.” In 1998 the celebrated writer was honoured with the Nobel Prize for Literature. So Saramago did not only as a human being and a citizen, but also as an artist refuse to be a passive observer. Despite his profound and always critical pessimism, he tirelessly propelled both his public and artistic persona toward impactful actions and interventions, showcasing an unwavering dedication to reshaping the world. This volume seeks to delve into this facet of his legacy, exploring it from diverse political and philosophical perspectives.
