The long lasting difficulties facing Turkey's entrance in the European family have many explanations and the obstacles are situated on both sides. Whilst the European Community is basically concerned with Turkey's religious and cultural difference, Turkey's difficulties derive from the historical formation of its democracy, and of the relations between state and society.

The contributions focus on the idea of literary and cultural hybridizations between different geographies. Some contributions, in particular those by the Romanian authors, account for the most problematic aspects of the contemporary world using interdisciplinary approaches.

In order to explain Karaosmanoǧlu's complete turnaround in his understanding of both art and lifestyle , provoked by his encounter with the powerful figure of the 'Saviour of the nation', this contribution investigates the emasculating and infantilising effects of the long process of Ottoman modernisation imposed upon the empire's Muslim community by the Sultan, traditionally perceived as an imaginary father figure for the faithful, charged with safeguarding the right order of things as prescribed by God. The very fact that the Sultan himself acted as the driving force of the modernisation process deeply troubled the community of the faithful because, in their eyes, this process implied the Sultan's abdication of his traditional duty as a father figure. In his literary production, memoirs, and political engagement, Karaosmanoğlu provides important clues for understanding the effects of these dynamics in the construction of male subjectivity and of power relations in this fundamental period of Turkish history.

This biography is meant to be an introduction to the first translation of four of his poems in Italian.

Therefore as peculiarities of the Turkish case, it investigates the changes generated by the modernization initiated by the Ottoman elite in the first decades of the 19th century and carried on by the nationalists after the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923. Focused on the power dynamics underlying the relation between the sexes and gender equilibrium, the article will also consider the most important forms of participation and political activities, which above all in the last decades of the 20th century attest to the controversial and incomplete advancement of Turkish women towards the affirmation of their subjectivity.

I saggi – di autrici provenienti dall’area di studi di germanistica e di filologia germanica, di lusitanistica, ispanoamericanistica, sinologia e comparatistica – prendono in analisi vari aspetti del tema della ‘migrazione’ nella molteplicità delle sue realizzazioni: accanto ad osservazioni strettamente linguistiche, indagano sul fenomeno del contatto interculturale sul piano sociale, storico, letterario e antropologico.
