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.

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…
Roy’s Inglish in The God of Small Things: A Language for Subversion, Reconciliation and Reassertion
2011
Abstract:In The God of Small Things, Arundhati Roy separates English from Englishspeakers. She reappropriates the language not only to portray complex characters and narrative themes, but also to create a postcolonial discourse that criticizes, questions and subverts the old dominance of the imperial colonizer. Mainly addressed to a western audience, the use of Inglish in this novel is a crucial factor to reveal the development of a hybrid conscience, reassert the Indian identity and make the reader feel displaced from their native tongueKeywords: English language, postcolonial, hybridity, Indian identity, discourseTítulo en español: El Inglish de Roy en The God of Small Things: Una lengua …
The Romanian Academic Novel and Film through the Postcommunism/Postcolonialism Lens
2019
The last two decades have witnessed an intensified academic interest in a potential rapprochement between Postcolonial Studies and Postcommunist Studies, the former a firmly established discipline in global academia, while the existence of the latter as a discipline in its own right is still debatable. As the possibility of this alliance is – as was to be expected – both contested and supported by various scholars, this article attempts to investigate this issue as illustrated by the postcommunist Romanian academic novel. Aware as it is of contemporary intellectual debates, the genre of the academic (or campus) novel seems particularly suitable for shedding light on the matter: academic fic…
La condizione metropolitana. Il postcoloniale, l'intercultura, la presa della parola
2014
The term metropolis has a double meaning: it indicates the motherland in the colonialist historical movement and, at the same time, the urban conglomerate that characterizes our postmodernity. The theoretical link between the two meanings can generate a postcolonial critique and an intercultural analysis of our multicultural metropolis, exposed to differences and multiple identifications. At the same time, the metropolitan condition shows us how the contact between the differences is now intra-cultural and no longer inter-cultural, proposing a political rewrite of Intercultural Pedagogy as a plural and materialistic Differences Pedagogy, able to recognize the characteristics of struggle for…
Oltre la nazione. Conflitti postcoloniali e pratiche interculturali. Il caso della diaspora tamil
2014
Perché il nazionalismo sembra ancora, forse più che in passato, diffuso in un mondo globalizzato? Come funziona l'identità “nazionale” in un contesto di migrazioni transnazionali? Possiamo ancora chiamare “migrazioni” i fenomeni diasporici che stanno trasformando le nostre società? Come possiamo discutere di intercultura in presenza del terrorismo internazionale? Il volume si occupa di tali questioni non in maniera generalista ma concentrandosi su un ambito specifico: i Tamil dello Sri Lanka, le pratiche (politiche, economiche, culturali) transnazionali che agiscono (terrorismo compreso) e le forme plurali di oppressione che soffrono (in Sri Lanka come nelle comunità diasporiche in Occident…
Translation and bilingualism in Monica Ali's and Jhumpa Lahiri's Marginalised Identitties
2012
This study, drawing upon contemporary theories in the field of migration, postcolonialism, and translation, offers an analysis of literary works by Monica Ali and Jhumpa Lahiri. Ali and Lahiri epitomize second-generation immigrant literature, play with the linguistic concept of translating and interpreting as forms of hybrid connections, and are significant examples of how a text may become a space where multi-faceted identities co-habit in a process of deconstructing and reconstructing their own sense of emplacement in non-native places. Each immigrant text becomes a hybrid site, where second- and third generations of immigrant subjects move as mobile, fluctuating and impermanent identitie…
