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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays in \u003ci\u003eTranscultural Italies\u003c\/i\u003e follow the multiple trajectories of this complex history and of its representations. They do so by focusing on the key concepts and practices of mobility, memory and translation. Taken together, they represent a contrapuntal series of case studies that offers a fresh perspective on the study of modern and contemporary Italy. The essays in the volume explore the meanings that ‘transnational’ and ‘transcultural’ assume when applied to the notion of Italian culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eContributors: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eCharles Burdett, Jennifer Burns, Derek Duncan, Chiara Giuliani, Viviana Gravano, Giulia Grechi, Margaret Hills de Zárate, Eliana Maestri, Valerie McGuire, Loredana Polezzi, Barbara Spadaro, Ilaria Vanni, Naomi Wells, Rita Wilson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eTranscultural Italies\u003c\/i\u003e brings together a series of essays that interrogate the inherently dynamic nature of Italian identity and culture to advance the transnational turn that is presently reshaping the field of Italian Studies.\"\u003cbr\u003eStephanie Malia Hom, University of California, Santa Barbara\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eTranscultural Italies\u003c\/i\u003e adds new dimensions to the study of human mobilities and suggests a path-breaking approach to the cultural study of Italian migrations, from the movement of people and objects through space and memory to Italian influences on global culture.”\u003cbr\u003eMaddalena Tirabassi, Centro Altreitalie sulle Migrazioni Italiane, Turin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Transcultural Italies\u003cbr\u003eCharles Burdett, Loredana Polezzi and Barbara Spadaro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 1: Traces\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Transnational Biography of ‘British’ Place: Local and Global Stories in the Built Environment\u003cbr\u003eJennifer Burns\u003cbr\u003ePorteña Identity and Italianità: Language, Materiality and Transcultural Memory in Valparaíso’s Italian Community\u003cbr\u003eNaomi Wells\u003cbr\u003eItalian Identity, Global Mediterranean: Tourism and Cultural Heritage in Post-Colonial Rhodes\u003cbr\u003eValerie McGuire\u003cbr\u003eItaly and Africa: Post-War Memories of Life in Eritrea and Ethiopia\u003cbr\u003eCharles Burdett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 2: Art, Objects and Artefacts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘The Path that Leads Me Home’: Eduardo Paolozzi and the Arts of Transnationalizing\u003cbr\u003eDerek Duncan\u003cbr\u003eMoving Objects: Memory and Material Culture\u003cbr\u003eMargaret Hills de Zárate\u003cbr\u003eVisualizing Spatialization at a Crossroads between Translation and Mobility: Italian Australian Artist Jon Cattapan’s Cityscapes\u003cbr\u003eEliana Maestri\u003cbr\u003eAn Exhibition about Italian Identities \u003ci\u003eBeyond Borders\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViviana Gravano and Giulia Grechi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 3: Mobilities of Memory\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePitigliano, Maryland?
