Edited by Gloria Bastos, Lenia Marques, Maria Sofia Pimentel Biscaia
Part of the Europe Des Cultures/Europe of Cultures series
Paperback / softback
Description
Intercultural crossings, which are at the core of our contemporary society, are underpinned and shaped by three essential elements: time, space and people.
Such encounters and interactions have the capacity not only to promote diversity and a healthy exchange of ideas, but also to act as a catalyst for conflict.
This volume examines the topics of conflict, memory and identity through a collection of insightful viewpoints and perspectives, reflecting a diversity of cultural and social backgrounds, which combine to give a contemporary interdisciplinary analysis of cultural interactions and their effects.
The themes covered by the authors, such as memory and forgetfulness, migration, ecological concerns, mixed cultural landscapes, storytelling, postcolonial trauma and internal struggles for identity, offer the reader a fascinating glimpse into the ongoing and evolving social debate about identity and purpose.
