Per lunghi frammenti, si alternano nel libro la voce di Joe, fratello minore, appassionato di boxe e avido lettore, e quella di Branko, fratello maggiore, interessato al ciclismo e al cinema. La loro infanzia si snoda nella Pretoria degli anni settanta, in cui una famiglia piccoloborghese riesce ad acquistare casa nella periferia residenziale. Tra...

Postcolonial Publics: Art and Citizen Media in Europe presents a collection of sixteen chapters that explore the themes of how migrants, refugees and citizens express and share their political and social causes and experiences through art and media. These expressions, which we term ‘citizen media’, arguably become a platform for postcolonial intell...

In this essay I intend to pursue a comparative reading of three postcolonial texts – in their intertextual and counter-canonical relationship with Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis (1915) – that deal with the ethics, but also the aesthetics, of the relationship between humans and animals. By doing so, and with the help of the Kafkian critical apparat...

The present essay aims at illustrating Marlene Creates’s web project Brickle, nish, and knobbly (2015), as a key example of Eco-Digital Humanities. First of all, it is a digital work of art made of ice images. Besides, it is also a digital archive meant to salvage a linguistic treasury of local idioms that both name and describe all types of snow a...

Amitav Ghosh’s second novel, The Shadow Lines (1988), was notoriously conceived in 1984, in the aftermath of Indira Gandhi’s assassination, when Delhi was upturned by bloodthirsty mobs that attacked the Sikh community killing, raping, and looting. This was the “madeleine” that brought the would-be novelist (he was halfway through writing The Circle...

In this article, I intend to scrutinize a Web project by the Canadian poet, land artist, and photographer Marlene Creates: A Virtual Walk of The Boreal Poetry Garden (2010). Her multimedia and multisensory artwork is here viewed as a contribution to the environmental humanities as well as to the eco-digital humanities. Creates’s literary and photog...

Dieser Beitrag ist als Antwort auf jene Fragen gedacht, die das Konzept dieses Sammelbandes aufwirft. Der Titel „Narrative der Deponie“ bezieht sich auf die Materialität weggeworfener Dinge: wie sie gesammelt und verwendet, wiederverwendet und entsorgt werden. Im Folgenden lasse ich die materielle Dimension etwas beiseite, um mich auf solche Narrat...

Among the South African writers, Vladislavić's interest in the Fine Arts and the Visual Arts leads him both to relate literature to photography and to cooperate with artists in various projects. His well-known Double Negative 2012 (2010), a novel accompanying the photographic album by David Goldblatt, TJ. Johannesburg Photographs 1948-2010, has alr...

Antroposcenari. Storie, paesaggi, ecologie è il risultato del confronto e del dibattito aperto di vari studiosi di scienze umane ambientali (o environmental humanities) su aspetti cruciali dell’Antropocene, l’era geologica in cui all’attività di un’unica specie – quella umana, appunto – si è attribuita la causa principale delle alterazioni sulla Te...

This essay on travelling gardens of (post)colonial time opens with two iconic images of floating gardens in contemporary postcolonial literature: Will Phantom’s bio-garbage rafter, which saves him in the midst of a cyclone in Carpentaria (2008), by the Aboriginal author Alexis Wright, and Pi’s carnivore island-organism in Life of Pi (2001), which c...

This essay starts by quoting Aesop’s fable of “The Wolf and the Lamb” as an allegory of conflicts related to the control and distribution of water in our contemporary world. Megadams are among the controlling factors not only as far as distribution of water is concerned, but also as far as the mere life of people is concerned. To control water mean...

The aim of this essay is to enquire into representations of the city of Mumbai whose urban development has produced images of heaven and hell, sometimes within enclosed boundaries. What is interesting to tackle here is its aestheticisation in a photo-book which presents itself as ‘image-text’ (Mitchel, Stafford), Bombay/Mumbai. Immersions (2013). N...

In this essay I would like to examine the selection of African tales that Nelson Mandela took care to leave as heritage to the future generations, not only to children, and not only to African children. The fact that a political leader, ex freedom fighter and political prisoner dedicated his time to the collection and editing of stories from all ov...
