I saggi raccolti in questo volume affrontano il complesso e dinamico rapporto tra l’identità e il confine in autori che appartengono a territori che, in seguito alla dissoluzione dell’Impero asburgico e alla seconda guerra mondiale, sono distribuiti tra Italia, Austria, Slovenia, Croazia e le regioni limitrofe. In questo contesto l’identità deve essere intesa essenzialmente come espressione di lingua, cultura e tradizioni, ossia di una memoria e un’esperienza individuale che si radicano in una memoria e in un’esperienza collettiva. Il confine – che per effetto di vicende storiche viene a spostarsi nello spazio – deve essere indagato, a sua volta, in ottica geostorica oltreché in funzione costruttiva dell’identità. Tuttavia vi è anche un altro confine, quello tra lingue, culture e tradizioni diverse, che attraversa un medesimo territorio. Ecco quindi le identità stratificate, composite, fluide, ma anche conculcate e costrette a ridefinirsi, nella difficoltà ma anche nella necessità del dialogo, nella ricerca di valori condivisi, di ciò che unisce piuttosto di ciò che divide, in quella vocazione alla pluralità che potrebbe e dovrebbe costituire e definire l’identità europea. Ed è questo un compito che vogliono e sembrano efficacemente assumersi la letteratura e il cinema intesi nella loro varietà e specificità. The studies gathered in this volume analyze, in authors from Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, and neighboring territories, the complex relation between identity and borders, namely those between languages and cultures, that can cut through one single territory. We are looking at identities made of different layers and elements, blurred and oppressed, and constantly forced to redefine themselves, in dialog with one another.

Welche Spuren haben die Russischen Revolutionen von 1917 in Deutschland und dem übrigen Europa hinterlassen? In diesem Band begeben sich WissenschaftlerInnen verschiedener Disziplinen auf die Suche. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Fragen nach Transferprozessen, Kulturmittlerinnen und Kulturmittlern, Netzwerken, Aufnahmekontexten, Adaptionen bis hin zu (kollektiven) Identitätsbildungsprozessen. Wie werden revolutionäre politische Ideen oder ästhetische Konzepte und Kunstauffassungen nach Westeuropa vermittelt, durch welche Medien oder Akteure? Wie und in welchen Kreisen werden diese Ideen und Diskurse europaweit aufgenommen? Darüber hinaus wird gefragt, inwiefern sich diese Transferprozesse auf Konstruktionen nationaler bzw. kultureller Identitäten oder Identitätszuschreibungen auswirkten. Wie transformierten sich beispielsweise Zuschreibungen an »Russland« und »Russen« im Zuge der Revolutionsereignisse aus deutscher Perspektive?

Highlighting the geopolitical and economic circumstances that have prompted migration from Hong Kong and mainland China to Canada, The Transcultural Streams of Chinese Canadian Identities examines the Chinese Canadian community as a simultaneously transcultural, transnational, and domestic social and cultural formation. Essays in this volume argue that Chinese Canadians, a population that has produced significant cultural imprints on Canadian society, must create and constantly redefine their identities as manifested in social science, literary, and historical spheres. These perpetual negotiations reflect social and cultural ideologies and practices and demonstrate Chinese Canadians' recreations of their self-perception, self-expression, and self-projection in relation to others. Contextualized within larger debates on multicultural society and specific Chinese Canadian cultural experiences, this book considers diverse cultural presentations of literary expression, the “model minority” and the influence of gender and profession on success and failure, the gendered dynamics of migration and the growth of transnational (“astronaut”) families in the 1980s, and inter-ethnic boundary crossing. Taking an innovative approach to the ways in which Chinese Canadians adapt to and construct the Canadian multicultural mosaic, The Transcultural Streams of Chinese Canadian Identities explores various patterns of Chinese cultural interchanges in Canada and how they intertwine with the community's sense of disengagement and belonging. Contributors include Lily Cho (York), Elena Chou (York), Eric Fong (Chinese University of Hong Kong), Loretta Ho (Toronto), Jack Leong (Toronto), Jessica Tsui-yan Li (York), Lucia Lo (York), Guida Man (York), Kwok-kan Tam (Hang Seng Management College), Eleanor Ty (Wilfrid Laurier), and Henry Yu (British Columbia).
