Title: A Stab in the Ear. Poetics of Sound in Futurism and Dadaism
by Beata Sniecikowska
Review by: Nadzieja Bąkowska
“The creation of local universities in every Cuban municipality allowed Cuba to reach enrolment rates of 40 to 66 per cent between 2005 and 2010 (MES 2019). These impressive figures involved a huge reshaping of the Cuban university landscape – for instance, creating new campuses, democratising access and diversifying the sociodemographic background of teachers and students. Rosi Smith provides one of the very few serious studies of this major transformation. The book is a very valuable contribution to this scarcely studied topic.”

Title: Deepening Participation. The impact of Cuba’s local university centres
by Rosi Smith
Review by: Alexander Cordoves Danish School of Education, Aarhus University
“Due to the comparative perspective employed by the author, this book is not only addressing specialists in Polish literature. It is an innovative study on the borderlines between literary history and theory, poetics, philosophy of language and comparative literature. It is more than gratifying to see that Śniecikowska’s structuralist-comparativist examination of Futurism from a variety of angles has found a well-deserved translation by Grzegorz Czemiel.”

Title: Orthodoxy in Two Manifestations? The Conflict in Ukraine as Expression of a Fault Line in World Orthodoxy
Edited by Thomas Bremer, Alfons Brüning, Nadieszda Kizenko
Review by: Daniel Benga, University of Bucharest, Romania
“Orthodoxy in Two Manifestations? opens up many perspectives on and possibilities for overcoming the current internal ecclesiastical conflict in Ukraine. I strongly recommend it to those who wish for an objective view on some issues that have troubled Orthodoxy for over a hundred years and that remain an ongoing challenge for the Orthodox Churches. T he work is lively, fresh, and open, and the creativity of the authors is a source of inspiration not only for scholars and theological professors, but also for those involved in decision- making at the ecclesial level.”

Title: Opera aperta. Italian Electronic Literature from the 1960s to the Present
by Emanuela Patti
Review by: Pablo a Marca, Brown University
“In conclusion, Patti’s Opera Aperta. Electronic Literature from the 1960s to the Present provides a comprehensive analysis of Italian literature from the neo-avantgarde movements until the recent times. She offers a theoretical framework under which one can study the emergence of new modes of production and of studying these works. Her focus on the impact such literature has on culture and society, particularly in its political vein, is extremely relevant. Her book, therefore, is an essential study, together with Roberta Iadevaia’s Per una storia della letteratura elettronica italiana (Mimesis, 2021), of the role of e-literature within Italy and Italian artists, one that will surely need to be complemented by newer studies in the years to follow.”
