Dans le sillage de « la littérature migrante », formule québécoise englobant à la fois les œuvres portant sur la thématique de la migration et celles qui sont le fait d’écrivains migrants traitant de ...cette ou autre problématique, nous essayerons dans la présente étude d’analyser l’œuvre romanesque de Amara LAKHOUS, un auteur algérien installé en Italie depuis 1995. Ce dernier explore dans ses romans la société italienne ainsi que le quotidien, les préjugés et surtout les clichés des italiens et des migrants, vus de l’intérieur par un immigré. Ainsi, la lecture, envisagée dans une perspective sémiotique, que nous proposons vise à souligner les thèmes à travers lesquels l’auteur exprime la transformation de l’Italie en une réalité interculturelle.

Thus, the readingfrom a socio-critical perspective aims at highlighting some themes through which the author expresses the transformation of Italy into an intercultural reality.

In the present article the aim is to demonstrate that one of the ways to teach literature today, in the new millennium, when literary studies do not encourage interest among the new generations, ...could be through its relationship with other sciences, for example, with ecology. Since the 1970's, when ecocriticism was created, in a literary text the idea is to try to analyse the relationship between the individual and nature. Starting from the fact that in nature there are balanced relations, the ecocriticism is trying to overcome the hierarchical order imposed in the society by the secular centralism. The result of this order are the members that are marginalised and oppressed, the victims of the imposition of the concept of the vertical society which implies the dominance of some members over others.
In the analysis the aim is to show that there are some contemporary literary texts that witness the attempt of exclusion of some characters, such as, for example, in the migrant literature in Italy, where the characters-immigrants are frequently discriminated. According to ecocriticism, in order to achieve a sustainable society, it is necessary to overcome these dicriminatory mechanism. Therefore, with this paper we try to find some literary examples in which, by the means of the autobiographical testimony, this attempt of dominance is rejected by the characters and they eventually find the way to integrate into the new society as well as to overcome exclusion and discrimination. In the analysis we examine some of these examples that we find in the literary work of the two contemporary authoresses in Italy: Igiaba Scego, and Laila Wadia.

This review presents some key issues in the mainland Chinese research on literary works of Chinese emigrants and authors of Chinese descent examining a series of recently published and representative ...papers. After a brief retrospection of the development of relative studies in the country, the author discusses the questions of denomination, methodology, and canon by juxtaposing opinions of various scholars. In the analysis a particular attention is given to the “Chineseness”, a concept sometimes mythicized by some essentialist discourses in the Chinese academia.
W niniejszym artykule przeprowadzono analizę sposobu przedstawiania terminów „swój” i „inny” w prozie i poezji karpacko‑ rusińskiego pisarza, Emila Kubeka. Jako ksiądz katolicki obrządku ...bizantyńskiego Kubek często wybiera bohaterów znajdujących się na marginesie społeczeństwa – ubogich, poniżanych, uciśnionych, co pozwala mu kojarzyć Amerykanów narodowości karpacko‑ rusińskiej z różnorodnymi grupami społecznymi. Czerpiąc z ówczesnych kategorii klasowych, narodowych i rasowych, Kubek niekiedy częściej niż z białymi Amerykanami identyfikuje Amerykanów karpacko‑ rusińskiego pochodzenia z innymi „ludami pomiędzy” (Włosi) lub rasami (Afroamerykanie). Podczas gdy estetyka Kubeka zachęcała jego czytelników do kultywowania etyki wyrażającej współczucie i solidarność z innymi, kolejne pokolenia Amerykanów karpacko‑ rusińskiego pochodzenia porzuciły ten imperatyw i w dużej mierze zasymilowały się z białą kulturą amerykańską.
Velibor Čolić, književnik rođen u Bosni i Hercegovini 1964., od 1992. godine nastanjen je u Francuskoj. Osamdesetih je godina 20. stoljeća književne tekstove počeo pisati na materinskom jeziku, da bi ...nakon odlaska u egzil francuski postao privilegirani jezik njegova stvaralačkog izražavanja. U nizu svojih recentnijih proznih tekstova tematizira migrantsko iskustvo koje ga je egzistencijalno obilježilo. U radu se, na temelju hermeneutičke analize javnih nastupa te razgovora koje je Velibor Čolić vodio s novinarima francuskih, hrvatskih, slovenskih, crnogorskih i bosanskohercegovačkih medija, propituje način na koji on u njima diskurzivno konstruira autorsku posturu migrantskog i translingvalnog autora te se na taj način pozicionira u francuskom književnom polju.
Velibor Čolić, a writer born in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1964, has lived in France since 1992. In the 1980’s, he began to write literary texts in his mother tongue, and after going into exile, French became the privileged language of his creative expression. In his more recent prose texts, he thematizes the migrant experience that marked him existentially. Based on the hermeneutic analysis of public appearances and conversations that Velibor Čolić had with journalists from the French, Croatian, Slovenian, Montenegrin and Bosnian media, the paper examines the way in which he discursively constructs the auctorial posture of a migrant and translingual author and positions himself in the French literary field.
It was the acts of racism that prompted the debate on immigration in Italy. At the same time, the phenomenon was recognised thanks to the literary production of authors, whose efforts gave rise to ...migrant literature in Italy. Over the years, this focus on immigrants saw a gradual maturation which, while stimulating the evolution of the intercultural perspective in the Italian context, also resulted in an increasingly recurring motif in textbooks: an opportunity for in-depth study and reflection in the classroom on the theme of racism and anti-racism, rights and duties, diversity and affinity, opportunities and equality. Starting from these assumptions, as well as from their own study and research experience, the authors aim to explore how much the use of migrant literature can contribute to promoting intercultural education and thus the construction of a broader critical-reflective thinking, capable of leading to the overcoming of racism in favour of a culture of anti-racism.
