Arianna Dagnino (born 1963, in Genoa) is an Italian and naturalized Australian writer, journalist, translator and researcher presently based in Vancouver, Canada. She is currently Adjunct Professor in Italian Studies at the (University of British Columbia ). She holds a PhD in Sociology and Comparative Literature (with a special focus on Transcultural Studies, Creative Writing and World Literature) from the University of South Australia and a master's degree in Foreign Contemporary Languages and Literatures from the Università degli Studi di Genova. With her books and articles she has contributed to the discussion on the socio-cultural effects of economic globalization, mobility and digital technologies. Drawing on French sociologist Michel Maffesoli's conceptualization of postmodern forms of wandering, blurring of borders and fluidity of social belongings, in her essay ''I Nuovi Nomadi'' (''New Nomads,'' 1996) she contributed to the definition of the concept of neonomadismo (neonomadism or global nomadism). The neologism stands for the new existential approach and the new deterritorialized, itinerant life-style of knowledge workers. ''I Nuovi Nomadi'' has been introduced as a reference text book in several Italian universities; among them, Università della Sapienza in Rome and Università Statale in Milan. Starting from her initial theorization on "global nomadism" and after a series of transnational studies and experiences, more recently Dagnino has focused her research and writing activities on the theoretical approaches of transculture, transculturality and transculturalism applied to a socio-literary context and to creative and performative practices. More specifically, the relationship between creative writing, transculturalism/transculturality and transcultural fiction (Mikhail Epstein, Wolfgang Welsch) is the field of research in which she has been involved with her PhD program at the University of South Australia (UniSA) and with her book ("Transcultural Writers and Novels in the Age of Global Mobility" ) (Purdue University Press). Her first novel, ''Fossili'', is a transcultural odyssey that blends history, scientific research and adventure in a plot set between Johannesburg, Cape Town, the Kalahari Desert in Namibia and the island of Zanzibar. It was published in Italy in June 2010 by Fazi Editore (Roma). She is currently conducting a study on transcultural practices using as a case study 21st century Argentine 'global tango'. == Books – critical outputs == ''Single-authored:'' *Dagnino, Arianna.
