No customer reviews yet ISBN 9783032074706

This book tells the story of Naples as a city shaped by migration, creativity, and cultural resistance. It reframes Naples within global conversations about identity, mobility, and belonging, offering a South-centric perspective that challenges dominant narratives. Through personal reflections and a wide array of vivid examples from film, music, literature, and public art, Patrizia La Trecchia explores how Naples defies stereotypes and redefines Italian national identity. Each chapter highlights the city's contrasts--beauty and decay, tradition and innovation--as reflections of broader experiences across the Global South. With a focus on resilience and transformation, Reframing Naples invites readers to see the city not as a forgotten corner of Europe, but as a vibrant crossroads of global culture. Blending scholarly insight with personal storytelling, and featuring original photographs and archival materials, this book is both a cultural study and a personal archive of resistance.

Terra Invicta: Ukrainian Wartime Reimaginings for a Habitable Earth
<p>The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 produced not only military and humanitarian responses but also scholarly and artistic ones from Ukrainians looking to the future of their country. <p/><i>Terra Invicta</i> is a series of critical and creative articulations of pasts, presents, and possible futures involving humans and the more-than-human world. The authors suggest that Ukraine is caught in an environmental war, waged by a fossil-fuel superpower against people who are prepared to lay down their lives to protect their land. This volume explores the relationship between Ukrainians - a multiethnic and multireligious people with a complicated history - and the Ukrainian land, the <i>zemlia</i> to which they belong. Themes include decoloniality, ecocultural identity, the politics of reconstruction, and artistic responsibility amid a war for national survival. Contributors emphasize the value of reviving multispecies relations with the land, positively transforming multicultural relations with history, and reinvigorating grassroots engagements with the state and society. <p/><i>Terra Invicta</i> grapples with the role of artistic expression in the face of war and collective loss and what it means to commit to a place, a land, a territory, in a world set in constant motion.</p>
