The volume Un incontro lusofono plurale di lingue, letterature, storie, culture (A plural Lusophone encounter of languages, literatures, stories, cultures) aims at highlighting one of the specificities of the Lusophone culture: the linguistic-literary pluralism that continues to distinguish Portuguese culture, from Brazil, to Africa and Asia, since the time of maritime discoveries. The collected essays mark, in this regard, a twofold path: they are intercultural, since they alternate the literary and linguistic aspects from the humanistic to the contemporary era, but they also are intergeneris as they alternate not only historiography and treatises with poetry and narrative - with inter-artistic incursions across literature, painting and photography - but also linguistic aspects, namely grammatical, and examples of rewritings and translational questions, in a sort of further Lusophone dialogue between genres and topoi.

Along with The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas and Dom Casmurro, Quincas Borba is one of Machado de Assis' major works and indeed one of the major works of nineteenth century fiction. With his uncannily postmodern sensibility, his delicious wit, and his keen insight into the political and social complexities of the Brazilian Empire, Machado opens a fascinating world to English speaking readers. When the mad philosopher Quincas Borba dies, he leaves to his friend Rubiao the entirety of his wealth and property, with a single stipulation: Rubiao must take care of Quincas Borba's dog, who is also

La spugna è la mia anima. Omaggio a Piero Ceccucci (“The sponge is my soul. Tribute do Pietro Ceccucci”) is a work born from the sincere affection and esteem of many Italian and foreign colleagues who enthusiastically welcomed the idea of paying homage to their friend and colleague Piero Ceccucci and to his long career as a university professor of Portuguese and Brazilian language and literature at various Italian universities, such as Perugia, Milan, University “Bocconi” of Milan, Genoa and Florence. This volume aims to be a fair recognition of the commitment and dedication that Prof. Piero Ceccucci has addressed to the teaching of Portuguese language and literature in Italy, but also to remind him the gratitude of University of Florence, to which, we are sure, he will always be tied.

This book opens up to a diversity of meanings that the concept of space holds in contemporary literary objects and settings. The text itself as a spatializing space, in its textuality as a body or in the visuality of writing, configures a space of language. The cultural and historical context involves references and data located at certain moments that articulate a space of relationships with the literary text. The institutionalization space, with the representations of power, the social space, the space as landscape, in natural, regional, physical and psychological configurations, and the myth space with its symbolic images and meanings, are other forms of mobilization of the concept. The pictorial space, whether as a component element of painting or as the language itself in the composition of writing, which uses plastic techniques, is also contemplated, just as this type of dialogue houses other media and languages, such as cinema, advertising, photography, in the relations between the arts. There is also the possibility of reviewing the literary object, in terms of spatiality, under this multiple perspective of the contemporary gaze. That is, in place of that restricted sense of structural category, the concept incorporates a broad and metaphorical view, within which the text itself brings out a conception and function of spatiality through its construction strategies. Faced with so many possibilities for reading the concept, this book brings together texts that address aspects of spatial symbolization in literary works that imply a contemporary look at these figurations.
