As a laboratory of transhemispheric culture, the relationship between Italy, Europe, and Latin America has, over time, generated practices and ideas that have transcended borders early on, revealing their porosity.</p> <p>The scenarios that "Texturas" aims to explore concern shared and interconnected cultural heritages, shaped by interactions among individuals and communities on the move. These heritages contain collective memories that continuously prompt reflection on the ways—past and present—of inhabiting the world.</p> <p>The series is structured into two sections: "Perspectives" and "Horizons." The "Perspectives" section gathers monographic or collective works that shed light on specific texts or contexts. The "Horizons" section, on the other hand, is dedicated to collective essays addressing long-term themes.</p> https://libri.unimi.it/index.php/texturas/catalog/book/239 Narrar la guerra pensar la paz 2025-03-07T11:31:31+01:00 Simone Ferrari simone.ferrarix@xxxcv.it Diego Alexander Vélez Quiroz davelezxxx@utp.edu.co <p>The book explores the multiple cultural bridges between Colombia and Italy by reflecting on key themes of the Colombian reality, such as the armed conflict, political history, literary production and the complexities of its social fabric. The first part of the text offers a panoramic account of the studies carried out in the Italian academy on Colombia's historical, social and literary context in the 20th and 21st centuries. The second part is an exploratory dialogue on the cultural and political relations between the two countries. The volume comprises nine research articles, two artistic works and a series of conversations with people whose paths have been marked by displacements and artistic and political experiences between Colombia and Italy.</p> 2025-03-26T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2025 The Author(s) https://libri.unimi.it/index.php/texturas/catalog/book/55 Le donne di X’oyep.

Almost thirty years after the <em>levantamiento</em> of the EZLN (1994), the Italian edition of the research contains additional approaches by the author, standing out among international translations of the book due to the choice to interweave the perspectives of this study with the themes addressed in the other essays published in the volume. We refer to the diffusion and trajectories of photography in Mexico (19th-20th centuries) (Maria Matilde Benzoni-Alberto del Castillo Troncoso), the historical roots of the crisis in Chiapas (Massimo De Giuseppe), and the prism of expressions of attention and participation toward this glocal horizon that has matured in Italy from the late 20th century to the present (Simone Ferrari)</p> 2023-11-16T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Texturas https://libri.unimi.it/index.php/texturas/catalog/book/59 Rutas Atlánticas. Redes narrativas entre América Latina y Europa 2021-07-21T13:55:47+02:00 Simone Ferrari simone.ferrarix@xxxcv.it Emanuele Leonardi emanuele.leonardi@unixxxxsa.it <p>Nello sterminato archivio di attraversamenti che è l’Oceano Atlantico, nella distesa infinita dei suoi silenzi, fatti di brusche frenate e di violente accelerazioni, va ricercata l’origine di relazioni, confluenze, scritture e riscritture che sembrano convergere verso un unico macro-testo, che trascende lo spazio e il tempo e definisce i tratti fondamentali di una comunità culturale transcontinentale. Si tratta di una comunità umana fatta di intersezioni, rotte incrociate, continue e reciproche influenze, che si muove sullo scenario politico, socio-economico e culturale, attraverso i secoli, e per la quale l’operazione di selezione, classificazione e ordine, che è insita in ogni studio critico, deve necessariamente ricalibrarsi. In una prospettiva di ricerca intercontinentale e plurilingue, il volume <em>Rutas Atlanticas. Redes narrativas entre América Latina y Europa</em> si propone di raccogliere studi dedicati all’indagine delle relazioni d’influenza tra l’America Latina e l’Europa, nelle dimensioni della letteratura, delle culture e della storia. I quarantatré saggi raccolti nel volume, accompagnati da cinque interviste e da tre schede libro, esplorano un esteso bagaglio di rappresentazioni letterarie, filmiche, pittoriche, teatrali, architettoniche e musicali, di traiettorie storiche, biografiche e culturali, il cui risultato delinea un eterogeneo prisma di voci, pensieri e scritture <em>tra</em> i due mondi. &nbsp;</p> 2021-07-06T00:00:00+02:00 Copyright (c) 2021 Texturas
