Beyond Italian borders: Amara Lakhous and the Mediterranean alternative
No full textThis article aims at investigating the possibility of talking about a 'Mediterranean alternative' in a cultural and literary horizon. In particular, it will explore the Italian case, whose Mediterranean heredity has recently been rediscovered through the contributions of those writers who come from other Mediterranean countries and challenge the borders of western idiosyncratic realities, like the Italian one. This article will analyse the case of Amara Lakhous, a contemporary Algerian-Italian writer, whose work transgresses the bounded Italian national culture by questioning its bounded view and by offering a new transnational gaze, within a world literature framework

Morawitz, 1862 Hieke (2003) lists this species for Hong Kong.Published as part of Aston, Paul, 2016, Catalogue and Bibliography of the Hong Kong Carabidae Latreille, 1802 (Coleoptera: Adephaga), with notes on the historic boundaries of Hong Kong as related to zoological collections, pp. 201-257 in Zootaxa 4121 (3) on page 221, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4121.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/26500
«La grandiosa imitazione»: il plastico di Pompei. Dal modello materico al modello digitale
No full textL'imponente modello in sughero delle rovine di Pompei, conservato al Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli, per lungo tempo non ha trovato adeguata considerazione per il suo intrinseco valore di documento storico e archeologico. All'origine della realizzazione del Plastico non vi furono soltanto motivi culturali ben definiti, ma anche la forte volontà di favorire una comprensione più immediata dell'intero sito di Pompei e di documentarne, con meticolosità e perizia, lo stato di conservazione seguendone da vicino le fasi della riscoperta. La grande imitazione di Pompei in quanto prezioso e straordinario documento, continua a mostrarci ancora oggi l'originaria decorazione e articolazione planivolumetrica dei resti monumentali. La digitalizzazione integrale del Grande Plastico non fornisce solamente una copia 3D dell'originale, bensì un indispensabile strumento di ricerca e comunicazione: esso preserva e amplifica il valore documentario dell'originale. In un gioco ininterrotto di riflessi, rimandi, corrispondenze tra realtà archeologica, modello fisico e sua replica digitale, l'Atlante ragionato restituisce al Grande Plastico di Pompei il posto che merita nella storia della ricerca archeologica
Lingua di carta, lingua di carne: A Translated Interview with Amara Lakhous
No full textNovelist and professor Amara Lakhous lives in the United States, where he has begun his third life—a new phase after his Algerian beginnings and subsequent Italian “adoption,” as he says. After having completed a degree in philosophy from the University of Algiers, Lakhous immigrated to Italy as a political refugee. In Italy, Lakhous would earn a doctorate in anthropology from La Sapienza, Rome. These days, Amara Lakhous lives in New York City and has been a visiting professor at the University of Connecticut. He is often invited by prestigious universities in the United States to discuss social and political issues, his books, Algeria and Italy. Given his complex experience, past and present, as student and professor in the academic spheres of these three countries, we aim to discuss some of the social and cultural roles academic institutions play around the globe
