open access | peer reviewed

Aims & Scope
The series Diaspore. Quaderni di ricerca originates from the desire to investigate the human being’s diasporic dimension, in its various forms. In the mechanisms implemented by the globalisation’s processes, which tend to assimilate the diversity and to blend the inevitable conflicts arising from the difference, the diasporic and migratory phenomenon can paradoxically be the original element to safeguard an individual and a culture in a new territory, providing a peculiar reflection area in which the conservation of that starting culture, but also the interstitial territories and the hybridism phenomena between this and the target culture can be preserved. Research laboratories of these realities will be mainly the cultural, literary, and artistic productions, generated in particular historical contexts, in territories including Europe and Africa, the Mediterranean, the Balkans and the Americas, regions where the culturally-composite identities, on heterogeneous bases, reveal the vitality of moving cultures.

  • La poesia e la condizione del dispatrio: la traduzione culturale e la (in)adattabilità is an edited volume arising from the international conference held at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice from 28 to 30 October 2024. The contributions examine contemporary poetry through the condition of foreignness in three interconnected dimensions: geographical displacement and migration; the estrangement inherent in poetic language; and the intellectual displacement associated with the poet’s position and the instability of poetry’s own identity. Drawing on works from different linguistic, cultural, and geopolitical contexts, with particular attention to Portuguese-language poetry, the volume approaches dispatrio as a critical category that goes beyond conventional notions of exile. It denotes an ongoing oscillation between languages, territories, temporalities, cultural systems, and forms of belonging. The essays address cultural and intersemiotic translation, Indigenous cosmopoetics, multilingualism, gender, migration, intermediality, the reconfiguration of literary traditions, and relations between human and non-human forms of life. Throughout the volume, poetry emerges as an expanded practice of translation capable of exposing asymmetries, challenging established identities, recovering erased knowledge, and interrogating the devices of power that regulate mobility, cultural legitimacy, and representation. Foreignness is thus understood not simply as an external condition but as a constitutive instability within language and subjectivity. Rather than reconciling differences, contemporary poetry intensifies tensions among spaces, times, bodies, and regimes of meaning, transforming permanent (in)adaptability into a source of aesthetic, ethical, and political experimentation.
