"Ognuno porta dentro di sé un mondo intero"

Abstract

This multifaceted collection, a tribute to the scholar of Turkish language and literature Ayşe Saraçgil, brings together contributions from scholars across various disciplines and cultures. It fosters an interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue on themes that are germane to contemporary social and political concerns. Central to this volume is the role of the humanities in grappling with complex dynamics such as gender issues, corporeality and sexuality, historical and cultural memory, the construction of national identities, the challenges of marginalization and centre-periphery paradigms.
