Abstract:

This book draws an updated Euro-American conceptual map, starting from a
limited number of strategic terms whose meanings today are judged univocal and
permanent, while in fact daily use has turned them into “common sense”,
depriving them of their ambiguity – an original feature of language,
particularly relevant when it comes to literary use. By re-examining the
proper noun for each of the selected notions, the contributors’ common intent
is to shed light on their polysemous nature and linguistic fluidity, in spite
of the common tendency towards simplification and homogeneity imposed by
hegemonic cultural paradigms. Along this line, the book explores the great
divides between identity and otherness (or common or alien) in order to
recover a sense of cultural identity which is at once polymorphous and
polyphonic.
