A Multitude of Women
A Multitude of Women looks at the ways in which both Italian literary tradition and external influences have assisted Italian women writers in rethinking the theoretical and aesthetic ties between author, text, and readership in the construction of the novel. Stefania Lucamante discusses the valuable contributions that Italian women writers have made to the contemporary novel and illustrates the relevance of the novelistic examples set by their predecessors. She addresses various discursive communities, reading works by Di Lascia, Ferrante, Vinci, and others with reference to intertextuality and the theories of Elsa Morante and Simone de Beauvoir. This study identifies a positive deviation f...
Investigating Gender, Translation and Culture in Italian Studies
The past few years have witnessed a growing academic interest in Italian Studies and an increasing number of symposia and scholarly activities. This volume originates from the Society for Italian Studies Postgraduate Colloquia that took place at the University of Leicester and Cambridge in June 2004 and April 2005 respectively. It gathers together articles by young researchers working on various aspects of Italian Studies. It well illustrates current trends in both typical areas of research, like literature and 'high culture', and in those which have gained momentum in recent years, like translation and language studies. The volume offers a taste of the dynamic outlook of current research in...
Interrupted Narratives and Intersectional Representations in Italian Postcolonial Literature
This book argues for the importance of adopting a postcolonial perspective in analysing contemporary Italian culture and literature. Originally published in Italian in 2018 as Riscrivere la nazione: La letteratura italiana postcoloniale, this new English translation brings to light the connections between the present, the colonial past and the great historical waves of international and intranational migration. By doing so, the book shows how a sense of Italian national identity emerged, at least in part, as the result of different migrations and why there is such a strong resistance in Italy to extending the privilege of italianità, or Italianness, to those who have arrived on Italian soil in recent years. Exploring over 100 texts written by migrant and second-generation writers, the book takes an intersectional approach to understanding gender and race in Italian identity. It connects these literary and cultural contexts to the Italian colonial past, while also looking outwards to a more diffuse postcolonial condition in Europe.
Negotiating Community and Difference in Medieval Europe
This collection builds on the foundational work of Penelope D. Johnson, John Boswell's most influential student outside queer studies, on integration and segregation in medieval Christianity. It documents the multiple strategies by which medieval people constructed identities and, in the process, wove the boundaries of inclusion and exclusion among various individuals and groups. The collection adopts an interdisciplinary approach, encompassing historical, art historical, and literary perpsectives to explore the definition of personal and communal spaces within medieval texts, the complex negotiation of the relationship between devotee and saint in both the early and the later Middle Ages, t...

Antico e contemporaneo
Il libro raccoglie contributi di studiosi ed esperti, provenienti da diversi ambiti disciplinari, e di artisti visivi attorno al tema dei rapporti fra cultura contemporanea (letteratura, teatro e arti visive) e archeologia, declinando l’idea di “classico” non più come valore da contrapporre alla fluidità del presente, ma piuttosto come re-perto e sito archeologico di cui si accetta e si enfatizza l’incom-piutezza e la decadenza anche materiale, facendone spazio di rappresentazione ed elemento significativo degli scenari narrativi. Si tratta di un concetto di antico non fissato in un altrove ideale e senza tempo, ma re-interpretato alla luce dell’oggi, e sul quale proiettare i grandi temi con cui il presente fa i conti: la multicultu-ralità e le identità nazionali, la memoria conflittuale del secolo bre-ve, la ricerca di modelli di sviluppo economico più rispettosi degli equilibri del paesaggio. Un confronto di rinnovata attualità, non solo a Roma, ma in tutta Europa dove musei e associazioni per la salvaguardia del patrimonio ricorrono sempre più spesso all’arte contemporanea come strumento di mediazione.
