Cultural Intertexts Year 8, volume 11/2021

This year’s issue of Cultural Intertexts brings together seventeen studies on public discourses and private histories, foregrounding their artistic and linguistic, cultural and political cores. A book review rounds up the collection.

The contributors are scholars and researchers from eight countries, who have different professional backgrounds, but who share an interest in decoding the inner workings of texts and in analysing the specificities of related contexts. In the articles collected here, they interrogate the cultural politics identifiable in literature, film, television shows, written press, patristics, translations, social media, photography, music, cartoons and internet memes; read between/beyond circumstances of production and realities as constructs; dive into painful memories of the politically and/or ethnically marginalized; or approach fiction with both older and newer critical tools.
