NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE BLACK ATLANTIC KARTONIE...

This collection of essays attempts to expand the notion of the «Black Atlantic» beyond its
original racial  geographical  linguistic and cultural borders while acknowledging its
remarkable ability to disturb established historical truths and to go beyond traditional
dichotomies  thereby providing an essential tool for cross-cultural understanding. It is
divided into four sections  each of them dealing with a different approach to the question of
the «Black Atlantic». «Definitions» touches on the various limitations of Gilroy¿s original
concept. «Readings» focuses on how the «Black Atlantic» can be productively used in readings of
certain literary texts. «Practices» shifts towards the practical applications of the concept in
order to explore the impact it has had on academic disciplines and examine to what extent it
may have altered their epistemology and working procedures. Finally  «Dialogues» engages with
the «Black Atlantic» from the perspectives of two creative writers whose work includes
transatlantic themes and characters.
