A Geography of Coloniality: Re-narrating European Integration
2019
AbstractTurunen discusses how the “European significance” of the European Heritage Label (EHL) sites has been narrated through interconnections of European values and European integration. She argues that, in the context of the EHL, integration is intricately linked to the notion of spreading common values, which in turn is entangled with Eurocentrism. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the geography of coloniality: the underlying spatial structure that makes the coloniality of European cultural heritage and related hierarchies more visible. Ultimately, the chapter shows how the concept of coloniality enables us to analyse the ways Eurocentrism is also embedded in ideas about Europe…
Trauma and storytelling in Betty Louise Bell’s Faces in the Moon
2018
The dominant understanding of trauma as an epistemological crisis that can be mimetically passed on to readers has in the twenty-first century been criticized for its apolitical and ahistorical orientations. As a way to assess this criticism, this article examines trauma and storytelling in Betty Louise Bell’s Faces in the Moon (1994), a novel which places the trauma of sexual violence in a broader context of settler colonialism. Reading the novel in dialog with American Indian studies and research on the writings of women of color offers an exploration of key aspects of trauma theory, such as the notions of unrepresentability, punctuality, transmissibility, belatedness, and passive witness…
Los mapas geopolíticos de la Unesco: entre la distinción y la diferencia están las asimetrías. El éxito (exótico) del patrimonio inmaterial
2013
Immaterial Heritage is a political category that is both confusing and contradictory. The democratization and universalization of Cultural Heritage have made the latter more profuse and have led to its increased importance. Even so, and despite its current levels of protagonism, its construction responds not only to outmoded parameters but also to a global exercise in apparent symmetry. In other words, things do not appear to have changed significantly from Colonialism to the new Imperialism. So it is safe to say that we are now privy to a “re-christening” of what was formerly referred to as “folklore”. And in this change in the conception of heritage we have gone from putting the accent on…
I meccanismi del potere. Queimada
2016
La genesi di Queimada, le suggestioni del ’68 e la parziale delusione di Pontecorvo di fronte ad alcune premesse in parte frustrate. La necessità di coniugare la narrazione al passato per parlare del presente. Ancora uno sguardo sul colonialismo. La contrapposizione tra i personaggi di William Walker di José Dolores, e tra i rispettivi interpreti: la preparazione accademica di Marlon Brando contro l’istintivo naturalismo di Evaristo Márquez. Il discorso sulla rappresentazione e sulla messa in scena, metaforizzato dalla duplice dicotomia Walker/Dolores e Brando/Márquez. Problemi distributivi con la United Artists. Un’accoglienza critica controversa e una tardiva rivalutazione.
Literatura infantil e ideología: propuesta de análisis
2009
Tras unas breves consideraciones introductorias en torno al concepto de ideología, el artículo analiza la aportación que la crítica postcolonial contemporánea ha realizado al análisis del aspecto representacional de los textos literarios y a la lectura de los valores (políticos, literarios, morales) que éstos denotan. Tras una breve referencia a los autores y a las obras más representativas de esta corriente crítica, se analiza la importancia que el estudio de la hibridación de lenguas tiene para el estudio de la ideología. Ejemplos extraídos de la obra de Bernardo Atxaga y pautas para el análisis de la ideología de los textos artísticos completan el artículo.
Corporate storytelling and the idea of Latin America
2021
The aim of this article is contributing to a great variety of theoretical perspectives and empirical settings to generate cumulative evidence about the influence of historical legacies and organisational ability for managing the past. In a continuation of critical perspectives that challenges the dominance of Anglo-Saxon onto-epistemologies in management and organisation studies (MOS), we conducted an empirical study on a multinational airline company whose past successes depended on the North/South, Anglo/Latin American borderlands. We analysed the grand narratives of Pan American Airways' (PAA) corporate archival material to determine its dominant discourses about people from Latin Americ…

Viaggia(u)tori inglesi in Italia. la 'culla della civilta'' nelle rappresentazioni del Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. 1850-1900
2008
Following the concept of culture expressed by Williams, the idea of the text identified by McEnzie and the theoretical developments of Colonial Studies and New Historicism, the essay aims at identifying the discoursive paradigms through which the Blackwood’s Edinburgh Review textualizes, from 1850 to 1890, the encounter between British ‘viaggia (u) tori’ (travellers and authors at the same time) of the second half of the XIX century and Italy with particular reference to the configuration of the spaces and identity of the Other. The travelogues analysed, which had a wide diffusion according to the spread of the Victorian periodicals during the century, despite focussing on Italy without com…
MAPS OUT OF PLACE: DISPLACING CARTOGRAPHY IN THE REALM OF CONTEMPORARY ART
2015
As Brian Harley wrote: “maps are too important to be left to cartographers alone” (2001: 239). Not for nothing maps have played a pivotal role as weapons of imperialism, as discursive formations disciplining the link between academic practice and political power and acting as social hieroglyphics in the words of Marx. The aim of this paper is plotting a course towards a divergent use of map-making as creative process and as a set of tactics to destabilize, challenge and re-imagine geographical mapping practices, moving beyond\behind their direct link with power, war and the male Western “episteme”. What is at stake in this provisional critical route is to understand what function and dysfun…
