Vol. 6 (2022): Europe's dynamic roots

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.
