This essay offers an analysis of the past 30 years of activity in the Italian-Canadian literary community and examines the role of the AICW (Association of Italian-Canadian Writers) in supporting, disseminating and analyzing that literary production. It profiles the work of three important figures (Pivato, D’Alfonso, Di Cicco) and notes their contributions in establishing this literary ground. It also asserts that women have played an essential role, both in their literary contributions, and in organizational capacities (editing anthologies and proceedings, organizing and promoting literary events and conferences). The essay considers practical issues (developments in technology), challenges, and the vital relationship between creative works and literary criticism in this body of writing.
Keywords: Italian-Canadian literature, Italian-Canadian criticism, AICW, multicultural writing

I’m a palliative care and hospice doctor focusing my clinical care on families near the end of life. It has been a great privilege to be welcomed to the bedside of so many seriously ill and dying patients to care for them and their families. Pursuing geriatrics and palliative care were not always met with welcome sentiments from my peers. “You’re going to take care of sick and dying patients.” “It is so depressing.” My experience is that geriatrics and palliative care are a little like peeking through the old skeletal keyhole into a living room. You have to get up real close to peek inside and if you dare to go through and enter in, a whole new world opens. It is often a sacred space. A space for a team of professionals caring together.

In her last novel, Les Sorcières de la République, Chloé Delaume imagines a society run by women who overthrew the French government – judged too patriarchal and oppressive – after having been given magical powers by the Olympic goddesses. If the plot seems whimsical, the use of the witch figure, producer of incantations and spells, provides a way to illustrate the idea that power to act can been seen as fundamentally linked with our ability to talk. This article attempts to analyse how this discursive agency is built in the text by examining the witch voice in detail, starting from the representation of the witch itself (the issuer) to the space where her words resonate.

This article reflects on the relationship between an author’s digital identity and the creation of literary works. The Author and Me (2012, transl. 2014) by Eric Chevillard, serves as a case study to examine the creative undertaking by which the digital presence of this author reinforces and advances his literary project. The goal is to challenge the authenticity of the real by analyzing the ways in which Chevillard confuses himself with his characters, who are often writers themselves. This confluence of identities becomes more complex as the digital blurs the boundaries between the real and the virtual, allowing Chevillard to use his website, blog and interviews to further undermine the distinction between himself and his persona. Having become protean and ubiquitous, authorial presence is well-positioned to call into question a reader’s biases and explore the stakes of contemporary literature in digitally-mediated culture.

Studying the responsiveness of the local population to issues of public and territorial administration is a complex task which, because of its sensitivity and political importance, not only must be done in strict compliance with the regulations in force, but also requires the adoption of a method duly elaborated with relevant assessment instruments that take into account the historical anchorage and socio-economic issues of the sites. The purpose of the survey was to collect information on how the Smart City project in Rabat addresses issues related to citizen participation as well as the nature of new configurations that territorial management can take with the democratization of the use of ICTs. The article presents the bases and modalities of this investigation.
