The history of Italians and of modern Italian culture stems from multiple experiences of mobility and migration: between the late 19th century and the early 20th century, 27 million Italians migrated and 60 to 80 million people worldwide see their identity as connected with the Italian diaspora. Since the time of Italian unification, a series of narratives about mobility have been produced both inside and outside the boundaries of Italy, by agents such as the Italian state, international organizations or migrant communities themselves. Transcultural Italies brings together a series of essays that interrogate the inherently dynamic nature of Italian identity and culture. They do so by focussing on the key concepts and practices of mobility, memory, and translation. The essays represent a contrapuntal series of case studies which together offer a fresh perspective on the study of modern and contemporary Italy. The aim of the volume is to advance the transnational turn that is presently reshaping the field of Italian Studies and Modern Languages. The chapters in the volume explore the meanings that the 'transnational' and 'transcultural' assume when applied to the notion of Italian culture.
