Incursions into the Imaginary 8. Imaginary, identity and alterity in literature

 

Imaginary, identity and alterity is a theme that encompasses a multitude of possible subtopics and the most versatile types of approaches, from the literary ones to those related to cultural history and the history of the imaginary, with credible forays into the world of art or philosophy as well. This aspect is due to the fact that identity and alterity are two of the concepts through which we define our very own nature (self-characterization), and through which we perceive the others, respectively, two manners of defining the ego which, in the era of globalization, gain an overwhelming importance. The manner in which we integrate ourselves into EVERYTHING, with the added appropriation of the diversity and complexity of the other, without which one could find rejection, intolerance, and violence, is essential for a better knowledge and acceptance. All the historical epochs, without exception, have been submitted to the process of knowledge through interaction. Wars, conquests, territorial expansions, processes such as the Romanization or the great geographic discoveries, to name just a few of the fundamental moments, have led to the association of different civilizations that have often been forced to cohabitate. This state of affairs can also be found in the proximate contemporary world due to the globalization that has brought together ethnicities, religions, different lifestyles.

Acceptance, diversity and integration are, in fact, the key words that surround the semantic universe of the chosen topic, and they can be found in virtually any of the cultural products of the different historical epochs. Literature, history, philosophy, art represent just as many opportunities to deepen these snapshots of life, of experience, of concept, and of aesthetics all designed to bring everyone closer.
