Puntos de quiebre después de la Conferencia de Durban (2001)
No full textIn 2001, it was held the “World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerance” in Durban, South Africa. This essay revises the points where the Latin American denial of racism was broken, for the academy to go along with a civil action, to examine and to criticize discrimination and prejudice for somatic motives. We analyze the four break points, from that date, whereby the recognize of the existence of racism has been inescapable: (1) the violence, that affect by far indigenous people and Afro-descendants; (2) the violation of rights of those ethnic groups; (3) their invisibility; (4) their crossroad in the midst of the inequality on Latin America
Klar und dunkel: Zu Stilformen im Werk von Peter Szondi und Jean Bollack
Get PDFThe article focuses on questions of form and style in the essays of Peter Szondi and Jean Bollack. Style in literary criticism reveals itself as a methodological mode for rendering the individuality of literary texts. This argument takes into account the relationship of analysis and persona of the critic, as well as the notions of clarity and darkness in writing about literature, with Szondi and Bollack representing two distinct poles on the scale between clarity and darkness. As it turns out, obscuritas can be a means of being precise, clarity a means of engaging the reader in providing for more precision
Intercultural enrichment programs: A contribution to curriculum development and study abroad in transnational education
Get PDFIn the fast evolving context of globalised higher education, increasing academic mobility requires constant adaptation from institutions. This paper focuses on intercultural enrichment programs, often perceived as mere “add ons” to study abroad, and usually designed as optional not-for-credit extracurricular offerings. We investigate how institutions can give more value to and deepen the intercultural learning of more students in spite of constraints of time and of formal curriculum during short-term study abroad experiences. Resulting from a close collaboration between academic and administrative staff based at different campuses, this paper provides a critical analysis of the benefits and challenges involved in developing co-curricular intercultural enrichment programs that support formal curriculum during study abroad. Practical recommendations are based on a transdisciplinary program developed in Italy by an Australian university that has branch campuses in different countries. We also discuss the “digitally enhanced” aspects of the program which facilitate the in-class activities

Raul Calzoni, La letteratura tedesca del secondo dopoguerra. L’età delle macerie e della ricostruzione (1945-1961), Roma, Carocci, 20182, pp. 318 e La letteratura tedesca contemporanea...
No full textThese three recent publications focus on the study of German-speaking literature between the end of World War II in 1945 and today. In the first volume, Calzoni focuses on literary production immediately after 1945 until the building of the Berlin Wall; in the second volume his target is literary production between 1961 and today, with particular attention to its relation with mass media. Hermann and Horstkotte concentrate their reflections and analysis on the period after the Berlin Wall (1989) and the present days. The year 1989-1990 represents a significant hiatus in literary production and is considered the starting point for the development of a new form of literature that has to face multifaceted, globalised contemporary society
