Abstract

Whether Dante was part of a hegemonic discourse or a counter one, he helped to shape identities, create new ones, re-imagined old ones. However, for these young South African students whose contributions are collected in this book Paradise as a place of the future seems to remain an unattainable mirage. For them South Africa is locked in a present which cannot overcome its past and cannot imagine its future; an eternal Purgatory, which ironically enough for Dante is the only non-eternal place of the afterlife.

不可企及的南非天堂

无论但丁是霸权话语的一部分还是反霸权话语的一部分，他都帮助塑造了身份，创造了新的身份，重新想象了旧的身份。然而，对于这些年轻的南非学生来说，他们的贡献被收集在这本书中，天堂作为未来的地方似乎仍然是一个遥不可及的海市蜃楼。对他们来说，南非被困在一个无法克服其过去和无法想象其未来的现在;一个永恒的炼狱，讽刺的是，对但丁来说，这是死后唯一不永恒的地方。

期刊介绍： debate in Italy, especially for those scholars working in the field of Indo-European Historical Linguistics and contemporary Theoretical Linguistics. Today, after 50 years of life, Studi e Saggi Linguistici has a firm position in this field, but it also gained a larger international profile, including well-known foreign scholars as members of its Scientific Committee, and fostering the publication of English-written papers. The Editors always aim at publishing original and innovative papers, whose quality and exactness are guaranteed by the prestigious Scientific Committee, and by the anonymous peer-review process. Although a certain preference is accorded to both historical and general Linguistics, in line with the tradition, the Journal welcomes scientific contributions concerning any linguistic field, with no preference or prejudice for particular methodological approaches and theoretical paradigms.
