The unprecedented perspective which presents the \u003ci\u003emezzogiorno \u003c\/i\u003eas a place where people arrive, and not only as a place of departure, constitutes a major change in the collective imaginary on the region and fosters new engagements with its migratory histories. This book presents one of the first studies to focus entirely, through in-depth readings of a range of contemporary literary and cinematic texts, on the representation of contemporary migration to southern Italy, and on the concomitant changes in the tradition of representation of the region. Informed by translation theory, and by decolonial, queer and feminist critique, this innovative study zeroes in on the mutual construction of race, gender and sexuality, and on the translation and hybridization of languages and cultures at the southern border. By giving a rich and compelling account of texts which tell multiple stories of mobility from, to and through the South, this book traces the emergence of a transnational imaginary of the \u003ci\u003emezzogiorno \u003c\/i\u003ewhich offers useful tools for an urgent reconfiguration of collective and individual identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Goffredo Polizzi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1835537235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781835537237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.47d","brand":"Goffredo Polizzi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47579869020415,"sku":"9781835537237","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7a37d81-5362-4b9b-8590-a690c0fb18e0.jpg?v=1763877217","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reimagining-the-italian-south-goffredo-polizzi-9781835537237","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
