The ten essays collected in this book manifest the current global
interest for trans-border dialogues and trace the origins and
development of Italian and Bengali internationalisms in the period
from the mid-19th to the early 20th century. Despite having
differing political statuses and lacking a shared geographical or
historical space, Bengal and Italy remained uniquely connected and,
at times, actively sought to transcend different kinds of
constraints in their search for a significant dialogue and mutual
enrichment in the fields of literature, music, architecture, art,
cinema, diplomacy, entrepreneurship, travels, education and
intellectual engagement. In this context, the volume confronts
strategies of evaluation adopted by prominent representatives of
the Bengali and Italian cultural environments with particular
emphasis on readings embedded in the moment of contact. Both
regions benefited from this ‘elective affinity’ as they
advanced along their respective paths towards a fuller awareness of
their specific identity, and thus set a positive example of
transcultural understanding which may provide inspiration in
today’s world.
