italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear all,
just a reminder about next Research Seminar at the UCL Italian Department:
Dr Evelyn Ferraro (Brown University)
“Walking on the Threshold of Italian Diasporas: A North American Perspective”
Wednesday, 19 January 2011
5.00 - 7.00pm
Italian Seminar Room, Foster Court 351
Migrants’ complex identities defy any rigid cultural classifications
because of the liminal, or in-between, positions that migrant subjects
inhabit. In this seminar, the spatial concept of being on the threshold
will primarily be adopted to discuss contemporary literary and visual
representations of the Italian migratory experience to North America
vis-à-vis Italian national identity. In addition, the threshold will
provide a theoretical tool to launch a preliminary reflection on Italy’s
own liminality within the Mediterranean.
