A Spatio-Emotional Analysis of the Disgust Discourse in Contemporary Afrodiasporic Fiction: Adichie's Americanah and Bulawayo's We Need New Names by Ángela Suárez Rodríguez

“…Moreover, the interpretation of their protagonists as personifications of Isabel Carrera Suárez’s “post-colonial and post-diasporic pedestrian” (2015) has showed how an abject condition in non-western cities is primarily the result of the diverse forms of violence resulting from a failed process of decolonisation, while this corresponds to an ambivalent social positionality in the hegemonic metropolis. …”

Voix-off et commentaire dans le cinéma documentaire et ethnographique by Silvia Paggi

Samosąd mdłej demokracji na jestestwie: Filozofia i dramatopisarstwo Stanisława Ignacego Witkiewicza a idee Martina Heideggera by Antoni Winch

“…The conclusions flowing from setting the dramatic and philosophical writings of Witkacy in the context of Heidegger’s thought enable us to look at the lot of protagonists of Witkiewicz’s plays in a new way. It is not only determined by the super-cabaret improvisations arranged by the characters for their metaphysical thrills; it is also an arena of struggle between the Heideggerian authentic self-being and the inauthentic they-being. …”
