Description
The history of Italians and of modern Italian culture stems from multiple experiences of mobility and migration: between the late 19th century and the early 20th century, 27 million Italians migrated and 60 to 80 million people worldwide see their identity as connected with the Italian diaspora. Since the time of Italian unification, a series of narratives about mobility have been produced both inside and outside the boundaries of Italy, by agents such as the Italian state, international organizations or migrant communities themselves. The essays in TransculturalItalies follow the multiple trajectories of this complex history and of itsrepresentations. They do so by focusing on the key concepts andpractices of mobility, memory and translation. Taken together, they represent a contrapuntalseries of case studies that offersa fresh perspective on the study of modern and contemporary Italy. The essaysin the volume explore the meanings that `transnational and `transculturalassume when applied to the notion of Italian culture.
