"...e tu sei apparsa fra le brume lontane, Africa del mio destino": note su Milo Corso Malverna, artista coloniale (1899-1970)
No full textThis essay aims to provide a first new contribution on the figure of Milo Corso Malverna, a versatile author who moved to Africa during the Ventennio. The artist, his activities and his works have only been studied superficially and partially, and for the most part in relation to a group of paintings and sculptures now in the Museum of Civilisations in Rome. This work therefore wishes to broaden the knowledge about this artist, who, through his heterogeneous activity, was fully inserted in the colonialist vein, assuming the roles of painter, illustrator, sculptor, exhibition organiser, writer, art critic and poet. Arrived in Somalia in 1927 and then moved to Libya in 1931, Corso Malverna made a name for himself in the Tripolin context, where among other things he held the position of President of the Fascist Colonial Syndicate of Fine Arts for several years. Back in Italy after the Second World War and settled in Rome, the artist continued his activity in the wake of the African experience, both by collaborating on the
preparation of exhibitions related to AFIS (the Italian Trust Administration of Somalia), and by continuing to present, in various solo and group exhibitions, works related to the period spent overseas.
Il presente saggio mira a fornire un primo nuovo contributo sulla figura di Milo Corso Malverna, versatile autore giunto in Africa durante il Ventennio. L’artista, le sue attività e le sue opere sono stati studiati solo superficialmente e in minima parte, per lo più in relazione a un gruppo di dipinti e sculture oggi conservati presso il Museo delle Civiltà di Roma. Questo lavoro desidera quindi ampliare le notizie in merito al personaggio, il quale, attraverso la sua eterogenea attività, si inserì a pieno nel filone colonialista, vestendo i panni di pittore, disegnatore, scultore, organizzatore di mostre, scrittore, critico d’arte e poeta. Giunto in Somalia nel 1927 e trasferitosi poi in Libia nel 1931, Corso Malverna si affermò nel contesto tripolino, ove fra le altre cose ricoprì per diversi anni la carica di Presidente del Sindacato Coloniale Fascista delle Belle Arti. Rientrato in Italia nel secondo dopoguerra e stabilitosi a Roma, l’artista proseguì l’attività nel solco dell’esperienza africana, sia collaborando all'allestimento di rassegne connesse all’AFIS (Amministrazione Fiduciaria Italiana della Somalia), sia continuando a proporre, in diverse mostre personali e collettive, lavori legati al periodo trascorso oltremare

Rude Girl de Birgit Weyhe et Priscilla Layne, une "ré-appropriation culturelle" à quatre mains ?
No full textInternational audienceThis article analyses the graphic novel Rude Girl (2022), a drawn (self-)portrait created collaboratively by Priscilla Layne, an African American of Caribbean descent and professor of German Studies, and Birgit Weyhe, a German comic book author. The work is first presented within the general context of Birgit Wehye’s albums, a former student of Anke Feuchtenberger and winner of the Max-und-Moritz Prize, in order to highlight some characteristics of how the author has thus far addressed cultural differences, including in the albums that recounted her ‘German’ childhood in Uganda and Kenya. The article then reexamines the controversy surrounding the album Madgermanes, perceived as ‘cultural appropriation’ by American Germanists. This controversy is revisited here in light of Priscilla Layne's publications, notably her book White Rebels in Black: German Appropriation of Black Popular Culture (2018), as well as her numerous reviews in the field of Black Studies and her translation of Olivia Wenzel's 1000 Serpentinen Angst. A thorough analysis of Rude Girl ultimately reveals a shift in the representation of cultural otherness, particularly through the means of (auto)biographical co-construction.Cet article analyse le roman graphique Rude girl (2022), (auto-)portrait dessiné, réalisé à quatre mains par Priscilla Layne, Afro-américaine d’origine caribéenne et professeure en études germaniques, et Birgit Weyhe, autrice allemande de bandes dessinées. L’oeuvre est d’abord replacée dans le contexte général des albums de Birgit Weyhe, élève d’Anke Feuchtenberger et lauréate du Prix Max-und-Moritz, pour dégager quelques caractéristiques de la façon dont l’autrice accueillait jusque-là la différence culturelle, y compris dans les albums qui faisaient le récit de son enfance « allemande » en Ouganda et au Kenya. L’article revient ensuite sur la polémique suscitée par l’album Madgermanes, perçu comme « appropriation culturelle » par les germanistes américains, polémique qui est ici revisitée à la lumière des publications de Priscilla Layne, notamment son ouvrage White Rebels in Black : German Appropriation of Black Popular Culture (2018), mais aussi ses nombreuses recensions dans le domaine des Black Studies, et sa traduction d’Olivia Wenzel, 1000 Serpentinen Angst. L’analyse approfondie de Rude girl permet finalement de mettre en évidence une césure dans la représentation de l’altérité culturelle, notamment par les moyens de la co-construction (auto-)biographique
