Agents of Change
This book focuses on the transition faced by business organizations and their stakeholders as they move from protected markets to open competition, and it explores how these changes can be facilitated by outside interveners/agents. The four authors--two from Europe and two from the United States--have worked separately as consultants with leaders of many companies and unions facing these challenges including AT & T, Lucent, Electricite de France and the Italian State Railways (Ferrovie dello Stato). The reader is thus afforded an unusual insight into the process of change in a large organization--not only close up accounts of what happened, but understanding of the relationship between the r...
Language and Culture in the Intercultural World
The intensification of contacts between cultures and languages has a major impact on all social spheres today. Multiculturalism and multilingualism are important elements of the local, regional, national and global community. Much of the world’s conflict stems from the contrast between globalization and nationalism, fuelled by religions, racial divisions, traditions and other cultural particularities. Focusing mainly on the situation in Central and South-eastern Europe, this book addresses how cultural identities develop through tourism, education, literature and other social fields, and how language and literature teaching should be planned in this context. It consists of the following sections: Language, Culture and Tourism; Interculturalism, Multilingualism and Approaches to Language Learning; and Culture in Literature and Translation. The volume will be of interest to teachers and researchers of cultural and tourism studies, linguistics and language learning, literary studies and translation, while also addressing wider readers interested in contemporary intercultural society.
Gente di Trieste
«È inutile cercare di mantenere una stabile serenità quando il vento di bora manda tutto all'aria.» Viaggiatori per protesta, esploratori intraprendenti, scienziati visionari, inventori sfortunati, poeti e artisti dimenticati, imprenditori eccentrici, eroi senza pace. È la gente di Trieste, città di confine dalle mille anime divise e ricomposte dalla Storia, crocevia di guerre, traffici e commerci, città nata per essere moderna e che alla modernità ha pagato un alto prezzo. Pietro Spirito ricostruisce un'ampia galleria di personaggi. Come Carl Weyprecht, l'esploratore polare che scoprì la Terra di Francesco Giuseppe. Oppure Josef Ressel, che inventò l'elica delle navi ma nessuno lo...
History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe
Continuing the work undertaken in Vol. 1 of the History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe, Vol. 2 considers various topographic sites—multicultural cities, border areas, cross-cultural corridors, multiethnic regions—that cut across national boundaries, rendering them permeable to the flow of hybrid cultural messages. By focusing on the literary cultures of specific geographical locations, this volume intends to put into practice a new type of comparative study. Traditional comparative literary studies establish transnational comparisons and contrasts, but thereby reconfirm, however inadvertently, the very national borders they play down. This volume inverts the expansive mo...
Il suo nome quel giorno
Giulia vive in Sudafrica, dove è cresciuta presso una famiglia italiana benestante. Alla morte di quelli che ha creduto essere i suoi genitori ha saputo di essere figlia di una donna italiana, d'origine dalmata, che l'ha concepita casualmente, 45 anni fa, in un campo profughi, e per miseria e disperazione l'ha venduta. Giulia usa internet, cerca persone che, a Trieste e dintorni, possano aiutarla: cultori di storia locale, archivisti, organizzazioni dalmate e così via. Scrive messaggi in bottiglia. Un impiegato della Cassa pensionistica marittima le risponde. Decide di aiutarla. Comincia così un viaggio a ritroso nel tempo, a tratti commovente, a tratti penoso, sempre misterioso.

Cercando Piroska
Thriller - racconto lungo (24 pagine) - La vita ha bisogno di bruciare il carburante delle sue menzogne, altrimenti il motore si ingrippa. Gabriele ha 37 anni, un posto fisso, un discreto conto in banca, una bella casa vicina al mare acquistata con mutuo ventennale, un divorzio fresco alle spalle... e la risoluta mattana d’inseguire un’ombra. Quella gettata da una luce improvvisa, e inebetente forse, che lo ha investito durante la settimana bianca di fine anno. Un’apparizione stregante: alta, bionda e luminosa da non sembrare vera, così è Piroska, una ventottenne ungherese, cameriera stagionale in un albergo di Dobbiaco. La breve, frammentata e superficiale conoscenza empirica dell...
Echoing Voices in Italian Literature
This collection of essays explores the reception of classics and translation from modern languages as two different, yet synergic, ways of engaging with literary canons and established traditions in 20th-century Italy. These two areas complement each other and equally contribute to shape several kinds of identities: authorial, literary, national and cultural. Foregrounding the transnational aspects of key concepts such as poetics, literary voice, canon and tradition, the book is intended for scholars and students of Italian literature and culture, classical reception and translation studies. With its two shifting focuses, on forms of classical tradition and forms of literary translation, the volume brings to the fore new configurations of 20th-century literature, culture and thought.
A City in Search of an Author
Poised between the Mediterranean and the Mitteleuropa, crossroads of civilizations and seat of vibrant cultural and literary life, Trieste is now acknowledged as enjoying unrivalled cultural status amongst Italian cities. This volume, the first comprehensive study of Triestine literature in English, originally reassesses TriesteÆs literary identity, paying particular attention to the period between 1918 and 1954 when local writing became intensely aware of its local specificity and some of its central motifs came prominently to the fore. TriesteÆs singular border identity, mirrored in a variegated literary output, emerges here as laden with complexities and ambiguities, such as the controversial notion of triestinita, the ambiguous relation with nationalism, specifically in its Fascist inflection, and the anxieties generated by repeated re-definitions of the areaÆs historical borders.
