This book examines how we can conceive of a "postcolonial museum" in the contemporary epoch of mass migrations, the internet and digital technologies. The authors consider the museum space, practices and institutions in the light of repressed histories, sounds, voices, images, memories, bodies, expression and cultures. Focusing on the transformation of museums as cultural spaces, rather than physical places, is to propose a living archive formed through creation, participation, production and innovation. The aim is to propose a critical assessment of the museum in the light of those transcultural and global migratory movements that challenge the historical and traditional frames of Occidental thought. This involves a search for new strategies and critical approaches in the fields of museum and heritage studies which will renew and extend understandings of European citizenship and result in an inevitable re-evaluation of the concept of "modernity" in a so-called globalised and multicultural world
"Deictic, Article, 'Articoloide'. Multifunctionality of Demonstratives in the Chronicon Vulturnense. The study of Latin demonstratives in early medieval texts has mainly focused on the diachronic reconstruction of the formation of the article from the demonstrative. The studies have therefore focused exclusively on ille and ipse as precursors of the definite articles of the Romance varieties and on the search for late Latin and early medieval Latin texts in which demonstratives could have had an article or 'articoloid' function. The loss of the deictic trait has often been associated with its high frequency in these texts. A fine-grained analysis of the values of all Latin demonstratives in a "roborated" chronicle, i.e., a chronicle composed of properly historiographical and documentary parts, written around 1115, reveals an interesting semantic stratification in which the same linguistic element can have traits belonging to different phases of its history or specialise as a distinctive element of a specific textual typology. Keywords: Latin-romance transition, medieval chronicles, medieval latin, ancient Italian, demonstratives, article, deixis"
