This book offers ten contributions by Italian scholars of Anglo-American culture addressing the way in which the concept of the literary canon holds out against areas traditionally considered as external or extraneous to it. The essays range over different topics: the etymological analysis of the term "canon"; the relations between canon and performativity; paraliterature ? a universe populated by non-hierarchic genres; the relations between post-colonial literature and the canon; postmodern biofiction; studies on translation and finally gay and lesbian literature. The book ends with a meditation on the innovations wrought on the Anglo-American canon by the virtual world of Internet and with a reading proposal originating from a different area of literary studies. Taken as a whole, the intention of the book is to pave the way to democratisation and pluralism in literary studies, going beyond the limitations set by the traditional scale of values of the "western canon". It proposes a frequentation of the geographical and cultural borderlines and hence of the areas of resistance that such borderlines pose to the dominant conceptual hierarchies within and around us, enabling us to glimpse an original future for literature and for western culture in a broader sense. 517 $aAltri canoni / canoni altri 606 $alinguistics$2bicssc 606 $aTranslation & interpretation$2bicssc 606 $aLiterature & literary studies$2bicssc 606 $aLiterature: history & criticism$2bicssc 615 7$alinguistics 615 7$aTranslation & interpretation 615 7$aLiterature & literary studies 615 7$aLiterature: history & criticism 700 $aDe Zordo$b Ornella$4edt$0456236 702 $aFANTACCINI$b Fiorenzo$4edt 702 $aDe Zordo$b Ornella$4oth 702 $aFANTACCINI$b Fiorenzo$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910887917003321 996 $aAltri canoni$94271582 997 $aUNINA
