Making use of archive materials, her language reenacts “poetry by other means” (Perloff 2010). On the other hand, her research on her own lineage, which intertwines with the history of black lives in Brazil, points to other horizons of invention. In dialogue with reflections by Leda Martins on ‘spiraling time’, by Saidiya Hartman on ‘critical fabulation’ and by Marylin Strathern on contemporary kinship studies, we observe how the artist performs a phantomalization related to her matrilineal genealogy.","PeriodicalId":502372,"journal":{"name":"25 | 2023","volume":"26 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139174176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It aims to show how the novel, far from losing sight of the national context as the term Afropean implies, effectively mediates issues related to specific localities and temporalities (racist and racial configurations in Italy in the 2010s) and transnational influences (the European and North American experiences of colonialism and slavery). By exploring the intersection of Afropean and Afroitalian, the novel aims to decentre the notion of (white) Europeanness and Italianness while highlighting global articulations of Blackness. Space, language, and class will be key elements to demonstrate how the novel expands the boundaries of Afropean/Afropeanness beyond race to promote a more inclusive and intersectional understanding of the term.","PeriodicalId":502372,"journal":{"name":"25 | 2023","volume":"112 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139175208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
