Transcultural Writers and Novels in the Age of Global Mobility
|
|
|
|
In Transcultural Writers and Novels in the Age of Global Mobility, Arianna Dagnino analyzes a new type of literature emerging from artists’ increased movement and cultural flows spawned by globalization. This “transcultural” literature is produced by authors who write across cultural and national boundaries and who transcend in their lives and creative production the borders of a single culture. Dagnino’s book contains a creative rendition of interviews conducted with five internationally renowned writers—Inez Baranay, Brian Castro, Alberto Manguel, Tim Parks, and Ilija Trojanow—and a critical exegesis reflecting on thematical, critical, and stylistical aspects.
"In this thought-provoking study, Arianna Dagnino is concerned to identify a cohort of writers who, in the ease with which they move between domiciles, languages and cultures, find themselves ahead of the pack in expressing a newly emergent transcultural sensibility. In a series of interviews, intercut with her own diary entries and treated to a light process of fictionalization – which is brought off with a novelist’s skilled hand – five writers present their reflections on their genesis, their present situation, and their future aims in a more and more globalized world, reflections which are never less than interesting and are often far-sighted. Their comments are in turn interrogated by Dagnino and set in a wider framework of transcultural theory. Transcultural Writers and Novels in the Age of Global Mobility is a significant contribution to a growing body of work on the metamorphosis of literary culture in times of dissolving cultural boundaries." – Nobel Laureate J M Coetzee, The University of Adelaide

The Afrikaner. A Novel
|
|
|
|
The Afrikaner (Guernica Editions) is a transcultural novel by Arianna Dagnino set in Southern Africa between Johannesburg, Cape Town, the Kalahari Desert and Zanzibar. It starts as an urban thriller, it develops into a road adventure, it acquires the tones of a scientific novel and it ends on a metafictional note.
More succinctly, The Afrikaner is a fiction on South Africa and the destiny its Black, Coloured and White tribes have historically shared and will continue to share under the African sky.

Welcome to our Canadian blog! Benvenuti sul nostro blog canadese!

|

Last August we have relocated with our two children from Adelaide (Australia) to Vancouver and would like to share with you our Canadian experience, with its ups and downs, pros and cons. We will focus on the cultural side of this new adventure and on what it means to live on the border of different cultures. Your comments and feedback will be most welcome.
Lo scorso agosto ci siamo trasferiti con i nostri due bambini da Adelaide (Australia) a Vancouver (Canada) e vorremmo condividere con tutti voi la nostra esperienza canadese. Ci concentreremo sugli aspetti culturali di questa nuova avventura e su cosa significa vivere sul confine tra culture diverse. I vostri commenti saranno oltremodo graditi.

Several passages taken from the creative nonfiction on 'transcultural writing' that is part of Arianna Dagnino's current PhD thesis project at the University of South Australia have been published under the title "Nomade Down Under" (Down Under Nomad) in the Carmenta Broadsheet, the new literary initiative that features writers of Italian background who are actively engaged in Australia’s literature, theatre and arts environments.
Carmenta was launched at the Melbourne Writers Festival in August 2012 and will be distributed to over 15 countries.

Mr Palomar , "Fossili" e i "nomadi culturali"
|
|
|
|
Fabrizio Pecori, deus ex machina del blog sulla geografia emotiva Mrpalomar (chiaro omaggio a Italo Calvino), parla del romanzo "Fossili" (Fazi Editore) come di una lettura adatta ai "nomadi culturali". Mi ritrovo molto in questa definizione, che si adatta anche alle mie attuali ricerche sul "romanzo transculturale".

E' il blog - più in chiave personal-familiare - che ci sta seguendo in questa nostra avventura agli antipodi. Qui troverete le nostre impressioni "a crudo", mescolate alle problematiche che inevitabilmente sorgono ogni volta che si cerca di adattarsi a un nuovo sistema, e alle disillusioni legate allo svelamento, giorno dopo giorno, di una realtà che non è più velata dal mito dell'altrove.

Neonomadismo su 7th Floor
|
|
|
|
Hanno fatto un ottimo lavoro: un intero numero dedicato alla cultura del neonomadismo. Con una bella intervista al sociologo francese Michel Maffesoli e due incontri con due personaggi (Robin Good e Giulia Baldi) che ben esemplificano come vivono i "global nomads".

E' il weblog che ci ha seguito fedele mentre eravamo on the road "a testa in giù", in Australia, da Sydney ad Adelaide, via Melbourne. Un viaggio di lavoro ma anche di perlustrazione, visto che abbiamo intenzione di trasferirci agli antipodi per un annetto
