Full textAbstract:
Il volume, che prende le mosse dal V Incontro di Linguistica Slava (Roma, 25-27 settembre 2014), riflette lo stato delle ricerche più recenti condotte in Italia nell’ambito di questa disciplina, proseguendo la tradizione già avviata alla fine degli anni ’80 dalla serie Problemi di morfosintassi delle lingue slave (Bologna 1988, 1990, 1991; Padova 1994, 1995), e poi rinnovata recentemente nei volumi che hanno seguito gli Incontri di Bergamo (2007), Padova (2008), Forlì (2010) e Milano (2014). Il presente contributo testimonia un ampliamento degli interessi oltre i confini della morfosintassi, verso altre aree della linguistica teorica e applicata, quali la pragmatica, la semantica, l’acquisizione e la sociolinguistica. Per la varietà dei temi trattati e delle metodologie utilizzate, la pubblicazione può interessare non solo quanti svolgono le loro ricerche, sia teoriche che applicate, nell’ambito delle lingue slave, ma anche gli studiosi di linguistica generale.

Full textAbstract:
I contributi raccolti nel presente volume delineano lo stato dell’arte delle ricerche di linguistica slava svolte recentemente nell’ambito della slavistica italiana. I saggi sono dedicati a temi di morfologia, sintassi, semantica, lessicologia, pragmatica, sociolinguistica e didattica delle lingue slave, in ottica contrastiva, sincronica o diacronica, secondo quadri teorici e approcci metodologici di scuole e tradizioni diverse. La grande varietà dei temi trattati dagli autori, non solo italiani, è la più viva testimonianza della vivacità e della ricchezza che oggi permeano lo studio delle lingue slave in Italia e non solo.

I saggi qui pubblicati documentano le più recenti ricerche linguistiche svolte nell’ambito della slavistica italiana. I contributi raccolti nella prima parte del volume studiano le strutture morfologiche e sintattiche di varie lingue slave; la seconda parte è dedicata all'uso linguistico; l'ultima contiene tre studi sperimentali sull’acquisizione delle lingue slave, un ambito di ricerca particolarmente promettente sia per le applicazioni glottodidattiche, sia per il contributo agli studi sul rapporto fra pensiero e linguaggio. Diverse sono le lingue slave studiate (il ceco, il polacco, il russo, lo sloveno, i dialetti ucraini, le lingue slave meridionali, tra cui le parlate dei pomacchi nei monti Rodopi), diverse le prospettive (diacronica e sincronica) e vari gli approcci metodologici, a testimonianza della ricchezza e della progressiva maturazione degli studi linguistici all’interno della slavistica italiana.

Full textAbstract:
Il titolo di questo volume rimanda a una realtà presente, spesso drammaticamente, in tutti i territori in cui le culture slave, in diverse fasi storiche, si sono trovate a vivere a contatto con altre etnie. Al di là dei problemi di convivenza, complicati oggi da fenomeni quali globalizzazione e multiculturalismo che dissimulano i conflitti identitari, la storia degli slavi si è sempre intrecciata a quella di altri popoli. È sembrato opportuno dunque proporre il tema, non inedito, dei ‘confini’, che offre ampio spazio di riflessione su una molteplicità di aspetti delle culture slave. Ancora oggi dall’Italia si guarda ai paesi dell’Europa centro-orientale con un certo scetticismo. Le lingue e le tradizioni di quest’area restano poco o niente affatto note. I flussi migratori dei popoli di questi ultimi vent’anni hanno contribuito a creare l’immagine di un’Europa di secondaria importanza, arretrata, che vuole imporsi alla prima. Questo volume collettivo vuole invece mostrare come la nostra identità di europei si riesca a mettere a fuoco, e con difficoltà, solo allargando lo sguardo ad est e imparando la lezione dei territori dell’Europa centro-orientale. Anche se gli slavi occidentali e parte degli slavi meridionali hanno partecipato alla storia occidentale sin dal medioevo e ne sono stati poi divisi dagli eventi storici, si potrà forse forgiare una nuova identità europea solo riflettendo sulle vicende dell’intero mondo slavo, e sperimentando le stesse difficoltà di convivenza (quale è ora anche l’esperienza dell’Europa occidentale) fra residenti e immigrati, culture maggioritarie e minoritarie, identità e alterità.

Full textAbstract:
I Contributi italiani al XIII Congresso Internazionale degli Slavisti (Ljubljana, 15-21 agosto 2003) ebbero una circolazione molto limitata tra i partecipanti al congresso e la cerchia ristretta degli addetti ai lavori. Considerato l’alto valore scientifico dei singoli contributi, ai quali si continua a fare riferimento nella letteratura di ambito slavistico, si è deciso di pubblicare questi atti nella collana “Biblioteca di Studi Slavistici” anche per festeggiare i dieci anni della sua esistenza. Di fronte a una consolidata tradizione di studi in ambito filologico e letterario la slavistica italiana di inizio millennio si è trovata di fronte a nuove esigenze. Da una parte si è affermata una nuova generazione di linguisti, che hanno sviluppato una serie di ricerche innovative sulle lingue slave, soprattutto in ambito contrastivo. Dall’altra si sono sviluppate nuove piste di ricerca nella letteratura contemporanea, soprattutto in relazione alle più recenti circostanze storiche che hanno visto negli stessi paesi slavi profonde trasformazioni culturali con la necessità di ricostruire consolidati canoni letterari anche sulla base della letteratura dell’emigrazione. La stessa ricerca filologica ha saputo interrogarsi nuovamente sul proprio ruolo riprendendo in una forma diversa questioni tradizionali come la questione cirillo-metodiana, il problema delle citazioni bibliche o il dibattito sulla Slavia latina e la Slavia ortodossa, come pure le più tradizionali questioni di ecdotica manifestando una nuova sensibilità a cominciare dalle tematiche religiose. Alberto Alberti è ricercatore di Slavistica presso l’Università di Bologna.

Full textAbstract:
Questo volume contiene i contributi italiani al XV Congresso Internazionale degli Slavisti (Minsk, 20-27 agosto 2013). Nel solco della migliore tradizione della slavistica italiana, i relatori presentano in diverse lingue un ampio ventaglio di tematiche che vanno dalla questione cirillo-metodiana alla riflessione critica su autori contemporanei. Pur nella diversità degli approcci disciplinari e metodologici, dalla paleografia all’analisi testuale, dalla comparativistica letteraria alla sociolinguistica, questi contributi mostrano che la slavistica italiana mantiene fede alle sue radici, sviluppando criticamente gli studi precedenti e aprendo nuove prospettive alla ricerca, mentre emerge una nuova generazione di studiosi. Come in passato, la slavistica italiana sta svolgendo un ruolo significativo non solo nelle relazioni culturali dell’Italia con i singoli paesi slavi, ma più complessivamente nell’orizzonte di un processo vasto e complesso di integrazione delle diverse culture europee, che va ben al di là dei confini dell’Unione Europea e in cui il mondo slavo, nella sua varietà di lingue e culture, costituisce uno dei suoi principali attori.

Full textAbstract:
Fugitive Slaves and Spaces of Freedom in North America examines and contrasts the experiences of various groups of African-American slaves who tried to escape bondage between the revolutionary era and the U.S. Civil War. Whereas much of the existing scholarship tends to focus on fugitive slaves in very localized settings (especially in communities and regions north of the Mason-Dixon line), the eleven contributions in this volume bring together the latest scholarship on runaway slaves in a diverse range of geographic settings throughout North America—from Canada to Virginia and from Mexico to the British Bahamas—providing a broader and more continental perspective on slave refugee migration. The volume innovatively distinguishes between various “spaces of freedom” to which runaway slaves fled, specifically sites of formal freedom (free-soil regions where slavery had been abolished and refugees were legally free, even if the meanings of freedom in these places were heavily contested); semi-formal freedom (free-soil regions where slavery had been abolished but asylum for runaway slaves was either denied or contested, such as the northern U.S., where state abolition laws were curtailed by federal fugitive slave laws); and informal freedom (places within the slaveholding South where runaways formed maroon communities or attempted to blend in with free black populations and pass for free). This edited volume encourages scholars to reroute and reconceptualize the geography of slavery and freedom in antebellum North America.

Full textAbstract:
An obsessive genealogist and descendant of one of the most prominent Jewish families since the American Revolution, Blanche Moses firmly believed her maternal ancestors were Sephardic grandees. Yet she found herself at a dead end when it came to her grandmother’s maternal line. Using family heirlooms to unlock the mystery of Moses’s ancestors, Once We Were Slaves overturns the reclusive heiress’s assumptions about her family history to reveal that her grandmother and great-uncle, Sarah and Isaac Brandon, actually began their lives as poor, Christian, and enslaved in Barbados. Tracing the siblings’ extraordinary journey throughout the Atlantic World, Leibman examines artifacts they left behind in Barbados, Suriname, London, Philadelphia, and, finally, New York to show how Sarah and Isaac were able to transform themselves and their lives, becoming free, wealthy, Jewish, and—at times—white. While their affluence made them unusual, their story mirrors that of the largely forgotten population of people with mixed African and Jewish ancestry that constituted as much as 10 percent of the Jewish communities in which the siblings lived, and sheds new light on the fluidity of race—as well as on the role of religion in racial shift—in the first half of the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
There was no straight line from a racist society to one that supported full equality, and there was no guarantee that a right established one year could not be changed the next. That rang true in the United States and particularly in New England following the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law. This chapter analyzes the four most important fugitive slave cases of the region: William and Ellen Craft, Frederick Minkins, Thomas Sims, and Anthony Burns. The result of those cases—two successful, two not—was a change in New England. Antislavery became socially acceptable, and there was an increased willingness among white New Englanders to accept the equal rights of African Americans. But racism hadn't died. What was different were attitudes about New England and about the slave South. In the short term black New Englanders benefited, but there were limits to progress.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers developments leading up to the census of 1850, heralded as the “first scientific census” of the United States. It made a clean break with its predecessors and solidified the influence of the reformer statisticians who found in it a way to make up for the catastrophic census of 1840. The most important change was the shift from the familial level for collection of information to individual data: a whole line of the principal schedule was devoted to each member of a family. The other great innovation was the division of the census into six separate schedules: free inhabitants; slaves; mortality (information on persons who had died during the past year); agriculture; manufactures; and social statistics (taxes; numbers of schools, of newspapers, of churches; criminality; and libraries within the district). Enumerating slaves led to intense political debates in Congress in the context of the sectional crisis.

Full textAbstract:
At the heart of America’s slave system was the legal definition of people as property. While property ownership is a cornerstone of the American dream, the status of enslaved people supplies a contrasting American nightmare. This book considers how writers in works from 19th slave narratives to 21st century poetry employ gothic tools, such as ghosts and haunted houses, to portray the horrors of this nightmare. Out of all of slavery’s perils, the definition of people as property is the central impetus for haunting because it allows the perpetration of all of the other terrors. Property becomes the engine for the white accumulation of wealth and power fueled by the destruction of black personhood. Specters often linger, however, to claim title, and haunting can be a bid for property ownership. Through examining works by Harriet Jacobs, Hannah Crafts, Mark Twain, Herman Melville, Sherley Anne Williams, William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler, and Natasha Trethewey, this study reveals how writers can use the gothic to combat legal possession with spectral possession. The book thus reimagines the southern gothic, which has too often been simply equated with the macabre or grotesque and then dismissed as regional. Instead, gothic tales of slavery are the very distillation of the anxieties about race and property located in the larger American literary tradition.

This chapter examines Abraham Lincoln and Owen Lovejoy's unwavering commitment to the antislavery cause during Lincoln's first year in office amid the eruption of hostilities between northern and southern states that culminated in the Civil War. The discussion begins with an analysis of how the concepts of honor and dishonor escalated the tension between North and South over the issue of secession. The chapter then considers Congressman John Crittenden's proposed compromise whereby new states formed below a line extending from Missouri's southern border to the Pacific Ocean would be admitted as slave states, while all new states above that line would prohibit slavery. It also looks at Lincoln's inauguration and his initiatives as president to defend the Union against the Confederacy, as well as the special first session of the Thirty-Seventh Congress. Finally, it assesses Lovejoy's time in Missouri fighting as part of the Union forces under General John C. Frémont, his plan to quell the rebellion, his return to Congress, and his legislative proposals.

Full textAbstract:
William Gilbert, poet, theosophist and astrologer, published The Hurricane: A Theosophical and Western Eclogue in Bristol in 1796, while he was on intimate terms with key members of Bristol literary culture: Coleridge published an extract from The Hurricane in his radical periodical The Watchman; Robert Southey wrote of the poem’s ‘passages of exquisite Beauty’; and William Wordsworth praised and quoted a long passage from Gilbert’s poem in The Excursion. The Hurricane is a copiously annotated 450 line blank verse visionary poem set on the island of Antigua where, in 1763, Gilbert was born into a slave-owning Methodist family. The poem can be grouped with other apocalyptic poems of the 1790s—Blake’s 'Continental Prophecies', Coleridge's 'Religious Musings', Southey's Joan of Arc—all of which gave a spiritual interpretation to the dramatic political upheavals of their time. William Gilbert and Esoteric Romanticism presents the untold story of Gilbert’s progress from the radical occultist circles of 1790s London to his engagement with the first generation Romantics in Bristol. At the heart of the book is the first modern edition of The Hurricane, fully annotated to reveal the esoteric metaphysics at its core, followed by close interpretative analysis of this strange elusive poem.

Full textAbstract:
By focusing on the geography of resistance and its landscape features in four different Black settlements, this book has cast a different light on the nature of Black escape from slavery and the history of Underground Railroad activities. It has shown that free Blacks carried out much of the clandestine work of the Underground Railroad as they sought freedom in pre-Civil War America, thus contributing in a significant way to the efforts inside one of the world's most successful resistance movements. Whether urban or rural, Black settlements positioned at the borders between northern and southern states or at other critical junctures acted as the first line of freedom while simultaneously offering sanctuary to escaping captives. The book has also highlighted migration as a means of escape for fleeing slaves, as well as the crucial roles played by Black churches, Black families, and Black abolitionists in the success of the Black underground. This concluding chapter summaries the book's research strategies and the future implications of its findings for reshaping modern interpretation of the Underground Railroad.

Full textAbstract:
In the fifth and fourth centuries BC Athenian ideas about poverty were ideologically charged. The poor were contrasted with the rich and found, for the most part, to be both materially and morally deficient. Reflecting ideas about labour, leisure, and good citizenship, the ‘poor’ were considered to be not only those who were destitute, or those who were living at the borders of subsistence, but also those who were moderately well off but had to work for a living. Defined this way, this group covered around 99% of the population of Athens. This book sets out to rethink what it meant to be poor in a world where poverty was understood as the need to work for a living. It explores the discourses that constructed poverty as something to fear and links these with experiences of penia (poverty) among different social groups in Athens. Drawing on poverty research within the social sciences, it argues that poverty in democratic Athens should not necessarily be seen in terms of these elitist ideological categories, nor indeed only as an economic condition (the state of having no wealth), but in terms of social relations, capabilities, and well-being. The volume, therefore, provides a critical reassessment of poverty in democratic Athens which is in line with debates in contemporary poverty research. It develops a framework to analyse the complexities of poverty as a social relation as well as exploring the discourses that shaped it. Poverty is reframed throughout as being dynamic and multidimensional. In doing so, it provides an assessment of what the poor in Athens—men and women, citizen and non-citizen, slave and free—were able to do or to be.

Full textAbstract:
From 1865 to 1950, when the financial futures of their families were on the line, black litigants throughout the South took on white southerners in civil suits. In almost a thousand civil cases across eight southern states, former slaves took their former masters to court, black sharecroppers litigated disputes against white landowners, and African Americans with little formal education brought disputes against wealthy white members of their communities. As black southerners negotiated a legal system with almost all white gatekeepers, they displayed pragmatism and a savvy understanding of how to get whites on their side. They found that certain kinds of cases were much easier to gain whites’ support for than others. In the kinds of civil cases they could litigate in the highest courts of eight states, though, they were surprisingly successful. In a tremendously constrained environment where they were often shut out of other government institutions, seen as racially inferior, and often segregated, African Americans found a way to fight for their rights in one of the only ways they could. This book examines how black southerners adapted and at times made a biased system work for them. At the same time, it considers the limitations of working within a white-dominated system at a time of great racial discrimination and the choices black litigants made to have their cases heard.

Full textAbstract:
Stirring the Pot of Haitian History is an original translation of Ti difé boulé sou istoua Ayiti (1977), the first book written by Haitian anthropologist Michel-Rolph Trouillot. Challenging understandings of Haitian history, Trouillot analyzes the pivotal role of self-emancipated revolutionaries in the Haitian Revolution and War of Independence (1791-1804), a generation of people who founded the modern Haitian state and advanced Haiti’s vibrant contemporary cultures. This book confronts the problems of self-serving politicians and the racial mythologizing of historical figures like Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Toussaint Louverture and André Rigaud. The author denounces corruption and racism as hereditary maladies received from the hyper-racist slave society of the French colony of Saint-Domingue. Trouillot also examines the socio-economic and political contradictions and inequalities of Saint-Domingue, traces the unravelling of the colony’s racist economic system after the revolts of 1791, and argues that Haitian Creole language and Haitian Vodou religion provided the bedrock cultural cohesion needed to fuel the resistance, revolt and warfare that led to Haitian independence on January 1, 1804. Trouillot blends Marxist criticism, deep readings in Haitian historiography, anthropological insights, and skilful handling of Haiti's rich oral traditions of storytelling, proverbs and wisdom sayings to provide a sharp and earthy account of Haitian social and political thought rooted in the style and culture of Haitian Creole speakers. Each chapter opens with a line of verse, song or a proverb that pulls readers into a historical oral performance. Haitian oral tradition from popular culture and Vodou religion mingle with explorations of complex social and political realities and historical hypotheses. Although the Haitian Creole majority language still plays second fiddle to French in government and education, Ti difé boulé sou istoua Ayiti is a major contribution in the effort to demonstrate the power of Haitian Creole scholarship. Stirring the Pot of Haitian History holds a preeminent place in the expanding canon of Haitian Creole and Caribbean literature, especially as it shows how historical problems continue to insinuate themselves within the contemporary moment.

Full textAbstract:
The book discusses the study of territorialities in the Bico do Papagaio mesoregion. New forces and strategies have been emerging as power forces and have inserted themselves in the region. This process is happening due to the creation of public policies and through cultural representations that go beyond state frontiers, promoting the relationship between states and creating a mesoregional unity. This book shows that there are many interrelations of power territoriality involving subjects with different identities of territory, companies, and the Brazilian State, through programs, projects, public policies and the work of public institutions. Specially after the beginning of the military dictatorship, the thinking of the Brazilian State about territory matters is one that has been making plans to and actually using this territory for purposes that are almost always related to the production of commodities. As a result of the actions of the Brazilian State in this territory, it’s possible to observe certain domains (mining companies, hydroelectric plants, livestock farms) working their territorialities with the aim to profit from the exhaustive exploration of the Empreso Brás territory. On the other hand, there are the Landless Workers' Movement (MST) and the quilombolas (descendants of Afro-Brazilian fugitive slaves) who have a completely different approach. Through the years these territorialities produced many collective strategies of power. All these strategies – unions, associations, cooperations, education - are connected to social networks which go beyond the Bico do Papagaio territory. They produce a unique territory, with territorialities and subjects who over the decades, in solidarity, have been empowering themselves to resist the transformations that the Brazilian State makes to the territory, transformations that are in line with the objectives of the national and international capital.
