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.

De Portugees Fernando Pessoa geldt als een van de allergrootste dichters. Bij leven publiceerde deze kantoorklerk uit Lissabon slechts enkele werken. Na zijn dood werd op zijn huurkamer een kist aangetroffen met 27.000 volgekrabbelde velletjes. Uit die chaos kon een kolossaal oeuvre worden samengesteld. Pessoa creëerde diverse ‘heteroniemen’ – afzonderlijke ‘schrijverspersoonlijkheden’ met elk een eigen stijl en woordkeus. Alberto Caeiro is de natuurdichter van het platteland, bekend om zijn heldere, vrije verzen. Zijn leerling, dokter Ricardo Reis, is de man van de klassieke invloeden, die in streng metrische verzen schrijft. Scheepsbouwkundig ingenieur Álvaro de Campos is de droomfiguur, de schrijver van lange versregels en futuristisch woordengedaver. En dan is er nog de sterk symbolistische en mystiek getinte poëzie die Pessoa onder eigen naam publiceerde. August Willemsen bracht met dit boek een ruime keus uit Pessoa’s poëzie en een beknopte selectie uit diens proza samen.

Il volume Un incontro lusofono plurale di lingue, letterature, storie, culture vuole evidenziare una delle specificità della cultura lusofona: il pluralismo linguistico-letterario che dall'epoca delle scoperte marittime continua, ancora oggi, a contraddistinguere la cultura portoghese dal Brasile, all'Africa, all'Asia. I saggi riuniti segnano, a riguardo, un duplice percorso: interculturale poiché alternano l'aspetto letterario a quello linguistico dall'epoca umanistica a quella contemporanea, e intergeneris in quanto alternano non solo la storiografia e la trattatistica alla poesia e narrativa, con incursioni inter-artistiche tra letteratura, pittura e fotografia, ma anche aspetti linguistici propriamente grammaticali, a esempi di riscritture e questioni traduttologiche, in una sorta di ulteriore dialogo lusofono tra generi e tòpoi.

Anti-Empire explores how different writers across Lusophone spaces have engaged with imperial and colonial power at its various levels of domination, while imagining alternatives to dominant discourses pertaining to race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexuality, and class. Guided by a theoretically eclectic approach ranging from Psychoanalysis, Deconstruction, Postcolonial Theory, Queer Theory, and Critical Race Studies, Empire is explored as a spectrum of contemporary global power inaugurated by European expansion and propagated in the postcolonial present through economic, cultural, and political forces. Through the texts analysed, Anti-Empire offers in-depth interrogations of contemporary power in terms of racial politics, gender performance, socio-economic divisions, political structures, and the intersections of these facets of domination and hegemony. By way of grappling with Empire's discursive field and charting new modes of producing meaning in opposition to that of Empire, the texts read from Brazil, Cabo Verde, East Timor, Portugal, and São Tomé and Príncipe open new inquiries for Postcolonial and Decolonial Studies while contributing theoretical debates to the study of Lusophone cultures.
