One cohort or two: Enjoyment, anxiety and study behaviours among intermediate language learners in tertiary language classes
Foreign language anxiety and enjoyment have been shown to correlate with each other ( Botes et al., 2022 ), but few studies to date have considered whether distinct groups of learners within the one class may experience these variables differently. This article considers whether learners who have arrived in Australian university intermediate language classrooms via two different pipelines, either having studied the language at university the year…
The omo di mare in Inspector Montalbano Crime Fiction: A Mediterranean Perspective
This article contributes to a more recent stream of scholarship that frames Andrea Camilleri as a Mediterranean author, focusing in particular on the figure of the omo di mare (man of the sea), a recurring concept in the Inspector Montalbano crime series. By analyzing a few novels, such as Il cane di terracotta, Il ladro di merendine, Il giro di boa and L'altro capo del filo, I show how the omo di mare—that is, a person whose life is informed by …
Mapping transnational lives: Patterns of dislocation and reorientation in contemporary carto-graphic memoirs
This article considers three recent graphic memoirs that focus on Italian transnational migration and its legacies: Elizabeth A. Povinelli’s The Inheritance, Joshua Santospirito’s Swallows (Part I), and Pia Valentini’s Ferriera. We adopt the term carto-graphic memoirs (Mitchell 2007; Norment 2012), to describe graphic novels that aim to literally and metaphorically map transnational lives, identities, and memories, through complex artistic proces…
Asylum-seeker emergency and third spaces in the Inspector Montalbano TV series
By analysing the TV episode ‘The Other End of the line’ (2019) through the lens of Bhabha’s concepts of ‘third space’ and ‘hybridity’ (1994), and Soja’s formulation of ‘thirdspace,’ this article argues that, far from being escapist viewing, the Inspector Montalbano TV series (Italy, 1999–2021) is a ‘geopolitical’ crime series (Saunders 2020, 1) that challenges the ‘nation-centred view of sovereign citizenship’ (Bhabha 38) embodied by Matteo Salvi…
Towards a definition of Mediterranean Noir or Crime in the Mediterranean: Mediterranean noir or Mediterranean crime fiction
This article argues that Mediterranean crime fiction is not simply a subgenre that showcases criminal organisations and beautiful landscapes, but also a formulation that overcomes the exclusionary European borders, and makes the “parent” label Euronoir more inclusive. In order to prove this point, this article analyses Andrea Camilleri’s Il ladro di merendine (1996) and Jean Claude Izzo’s Total Khéops (1996) through the lens of transculturality (…
