The Advent of duanpian xiaoshuo: A Combination of Western Discourse and Chinese Legacy in the Early Definitions of the Modern Short Story
2020
During the late Qing, a thriving transcultural interaction across China and the West determined a burgeoning cultural environment in which new forms of appreciation and critique contributed to the development of a new sense of literary modernity and new ways of conceiving and classifying literature (wen) distant from the “canon”. From the mid of XX century, in Chinese newspapers and magazines literature and leisure reading became a regular section. Shenbao was also one of the first papers which recognized the attractive power of literature and of the so called duanpian xiaoshuo 短篇小說 (Chen 2009, p. 117).

2022
The study focuses on the analysis of Ali Salem Iselmu's collection of short stories, La luz de cuatro velas en el Sáhara, as an expression, within Saharawi Literature, of a peculiar identity paradigm, which is based on the transterritorial experience of the author and its characters.

Traducción de textos literarios e ideología en Legioni e Falangi/Legiones y Falanges. El caso de “La calle Mayor. Racconto di Edgar Neville”
2018
This study is based in the renewed interest in the symbolic universe of totalitarianism, as a forge of cultural spaces for the construction of group identity and ideologically marked linguistic-literary products, as well as possible conflictual cracks, respect to the cultural paradigms in which they are produced.

2017
In a context of political repression and social oppression like Libya used to be before the Arab Spring, the literary representation of displacement assumes a central role and sometimes becomes a metaphor of an existential condition. Starting from the analysis of some short stories taken from Al-malika by Nağwa Benshatwan – one of the most interesting voices of Libya’s Contemporary literary landscape – this paper will focus on the concept of displacement interpreted not only as a physical and/or figurative migration but also as a tool for representing personal and collective identity Dans le climat de répression politique et d’oppression sociale qui caractérise la Libye d’avant la “révoluti…
