Papers focus on transcultural literary works interested in the interactive and dialogic dynamics between and across borders following mainly three perspectives: the building of memories between-places, the self-distancing, self-estrangement and self-criticism of one’s own cultural identities, and/or acknowledging the transitory, confluential, and mutually transforming nature of cultures.
