Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things has been effectively described by N. Rokotnitz as a narrative that accesses and arouses sensory modes of reception and perception, infiltrating reader’s preconscious and subconscious levels of understanding and thus enhancing the vividness of immersion in a text that ultimately renders its moral code physically tangible. This use of multimodal mental imagery, which per se vouches for a transmedia understanding of narrative as a “multimedia construct” (Ryan 2004), is an integral part of a literary representation of trauma that also integrates explicit reference to other media, namely cinema and traditional dance performance. The essay addresses the role of these media within the socio-cultural frame of Roy’s novel and interrogates their function in shaping the literary narrative of trauma and healing, integrating the writing’s multimodal imagery and contributing to the reader’s emotional and intellectual responses.

Through his works, Celestino Testore gave an important reflection on the construction of otherness by the “natural definition”. The missionary discourse ends up confirming or invalidating, through the play of representation, the identity of the young protagonists. In order to understand the linguistic and cultural issues of missionary discourse in a given intercultural context, this article is centred on a corpus of 23 missionary narratives for youth. These texts – published in Quebec and edited by l’Apostolat de la Presse – present a classical ethnological approach for which the identification of the Other results in a closed network of meanings that use comparisons based on an ethno-centred perspective. However, in this kind of discourse we can also observe some unexpected signs of interculturality.
塞莱斯蒂诺·特斯托通过他的作品,对“自然定义”对他者的建构进行了重要反思。传教士的话语最终通过表现的游戏,证实或否定了年轻主人公的身份。为了理解在特定的跨文化背景下传教士话语的语言和文化问题,本文集中于23个青年传教士叙事的语料库。这些文本在魁北克出版,由l 'Apostolat de la Presse编辑,提出了一种经典的民族学方法,其中对他者的识别产生了一个封闭的意义网络,使用基于种族中心观点的比较。然而,在这种话语中,我们也可以观察到一些意想不到的跨文化迹象。
