Lungo i futuri possibili del poliziesco. The Minority Report di Philip K. Dick
Full text linkIn its rigorous and highly normative framework, the detective story often allows productive analyses on the functioning of its mechanisms and on the role of its elements when it is subjected to structural infringements in order to obtain specific narrative effects. The Minority Report (1956), science fiction story by Philip K. Dick, represents a particular case of ‘science fiction detective story’, a cross between science fiction and the context of the detective investigation, in which the knowability itself of reality and criminal actions change radically, thus providing the starting point for some considerations on how some key elements of the detective story are modified (or how, despite the different approach, they keep their role and function) in a context that represents a substantial and basic infringement of the genre scheme
Partitura di un mistero, tra talento e tecnica. Le dinamiche del sistema musicale di Canone inverso di Paolo Maurensig
Full text linkDrawing widely from his deepest passions, Paolo Maurensig builds his intricate narrative architectures, often characterised by the multiplication and interlocking of story plans with a frequent alternation of narrative voices, starting from a fundamental thematic core that constitutes the main track of development of the story and at the same time a parameter by which to measure the entire fictional experience. In Canone inverso, a 1996 novel, the story revolves around a mysterious violin and the theme of music penetrates deeply into the two protagonists, not only to condition their life events but also to irremediably mark their essence and inner dimension

Le ottave 'esotiche' del "Ciriffo Calvaneo". Un «viaggio ai confini ultimi della lingua»
Full text linkIn the fourth part of the Ciriffo calvaneo, a chivalric poem composed by the Pulci brothers in the 1470s, two octaves are written in ‘Oriental’ languages, in order to reproduce the conversation between Aleandrina, princess of Troy, and Tibaldo, king of the Moors. As already shown by Cardona, Aleandrina’s speech is in Turkish and represents one of the earliest records of this language in Western literature. On the contrary, Tibaldo’s reply is not in Arabic, as claimed by the author (probably Luigi Pulci), and is instead a very well-conceived parody of Semitic, mixing real Arabic words with Arabic-shaped nonsense sequences, Hebrew, Greek and even Italian terms
Un itinerario nell’opera di Lalla Kezich, con una lettura del romanzo breve La preparazione
Full text linkLalla Kezich, pseudonimo di Tullia Zelich, è stata una figura defilata nel panorama letterario italiano del Novecento. Nonostante la sua lunga carriera nel mondo del cinema e della radio, e la partecipazione a diversi premi letterari tra il 1978 e il 1985, la sua opera rimane poco conosciuta. Questo contributo si propone di gettare luce sulla sua produzione letteraria, concentrandosi in particolare sul suo romanzo d'esordio, che le permise di entrare, seppur parzialmente, nel mercato editoriale italiano. Attraverso un'analisi della ricezione critica e del contesto letterario dell'epoca, il saggio intende restituire a Lalla Kezich il posto che merita nella storia della letteratura italiana
Le dimore dell'esistere nella narrativa di Andrea Bajani
Full text linkThe essay sets out to interpret Andrea Bajani’s novel, Il libro delle case (2021), from both a formal and semantic point of view, examining not only the synergies that exist between different literary genres, from the Bildungsroman to the family novel, from the ideological pamphlet to the confessional, from the diary to the reportage, but also the thematic network that brings them together.
