Synopsis

As result of over twenty years of cultural, academic and personal exchanges, woven and consolidated between the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, the University of Milan and various Cuban universities and research centers, the volume restores the multiplicity of gazes and sensibilities that animate this network of professional, intellectual and human relationships. Transcending disciplinary boundaries – consistently with the impossibility of reducing, within the limited space of the frontiers of the academic field, the richness of these relationships and the intellectual effort that underpins and animates them –, the chapters that compose it delve into the territories of literary and theatrical criticism, travel reportage and comics, sociological theory and cultural studies, cinema and memoirs, mixing these languages and adopting a decentralized perspective, aimed at bringing the two shores of the Atlantic closer and closer.
