  Transnational Forms of Censorship: Literature and the Arts

  Vol. 8 (2024)

  The monographic section of issue 8 of the journal, edited by Nora Moll, focuses on the theme of censorship, as a form of control by political power or interest groups, which to this day conditions not only the practices of book publishing and dissemination, but also the aesthetic choices themselves, in the various fields of artistic expression and not only in the literary sphere. If the consequences of censorship, on the level of aesthetic strategies and the reception of artistic, literary and artistic-figurative works, as well as on the socio-historical level, may have a clear national definition, there are many others that are also and above all configured on a transnational and intercultural level. The articles collected in this section highlight some of these aspects through case studies in the fields of translation and reception studies, imagology, visual studies and gender studies. The common thread running through all the contributions is a strenuous reflection on the nexus and friction between literary and figurative art, on the one hand, and power and the various forms of cultural hegemony, on the other: issues to which it is good to return cyclically, with a look at both history and the present.

  Europe's dynamic roots

  Vol. 6 (2022)

  Issue 6 (2022) of the journal brings together contributions from different disciplinary or interdisciplinary fields that question the dynamism of contemporary European culture, its achievements and weaknesses, its relationship with tradition and the challenges of the present and future from which new forms and processes of identity are generated. Multilingualism, transculturation, translation, the transition from anthropocentrism to the posthuman, are some of the strong themes in the international debate, but also in current European culture.
  The second part, i.e. the last six articles, is devoted to an in-depth thematic study of the literary memory of collective traumas in 20th-century European history. The contributions deal in particular with the relationship between identity, language and memory in the literature of trauma, and are the result of an international webinar of the research project funded by Sapienza University and focused on Narrating the Trauma in European Literatures and Cultures from the second half of the 19th Century to the "Late Modernity": a Comparative Approach to Memory and Postmemory Narratives in Italy and Europe.
