Il cerchio si chiude: dall'autorialità anonima e condivisa alla scrittura collettiva
No full textL’autorialità, concepita come caratteristica ineludibile di un’opera d’arte è un’accezione nata nella modernità. È solo a partire dal rinascimento, infatti, che si assiste all’affermazione dell’autore esaltato poi nel corso del romantici- smo. il Novecento, smarcandosi dalla concezione tradizional-borghese di lette- ratura, rimette in discussione il ruolo dell’autore, proponendo nuove forme di creatività.Authoriality, considered an ineludible trait of a work of art, is an idea born of modernity. Only during the renaissance, in fact, did the author assert himself, later exalted during the age of romanticism. the twentieth century, freeing it- self from a traditional-bourgeois conception of literature, once more problema- tized the role of the author, proposing new forms of creativity
Davide e Golia. Giuseppe Antonio Borgese e la traiettoria americanista di un esule antifascista
No full textGiuseppe Antonio Borgese was one of the anti-fascist intellectuals who, around the Thirties of the XX Century, let themselves be involved by the American myth. Although inspired by democratic ideals mixed with a profound sense of Risorgimento and libertarian patriotism, he was near the nationalist and interventionist ideology. The decisive turning point in Borgese's life took place during the years in which the dictatorship and the regime of censorship imposed by Fascism, became ever more alive and dominant, causing him to develop the idea of leaving Italy for the United States. Beyond the contradictories relationships that bound him to the two Countries, Borgese, unable to recognize his homeland to which he was, nevertheless, deeply attached, chose to embrace US citizenship in which he saw a way to reach democracy. In other words, he allowed himself to be drawn into that general problem of unresolved identity, which related him to many other intellectuals of those years. A phenomenon to which the United States opposed a new form of propaganda that allowed to the American myth to survive in the collective imagination of the Italians even after the end of the Second World War
Unframing and Reframing Mediterranean Spaces and Identities
Full text linkIn the last twenty years, the Mediterranean has regained the interest of academicians and related aficionados. We have witnessed publications from historians, political scientists, antiquity and religion scholars, with some sporadic volumes on arts and literature . Scholars have also questioned the teaching of the Mediterranean in the classroom, tackling methods and synergies from area studies or “systematic regionalism,” trying to hone the commonalities and differences to explain a larger scope. We have seen also a growth in institutional and organizational interest, with more journals coming to the fore and academic programs such as certificates, minors and majors focused on Mediterranean awareness. All in all, these are all individual efforts that do not consider the polyhedric region in a polyhedric fashion. The praiseworthy (and ambitious) goal of the editors and contributors of Unframing and Reframing Mediterranean Spaces and Identities is to do just this
Vengo a vivere da te. Enclavi/exclavi: l''altro' e il rapporto con lo spazio urbano
No full textAmong the factors involved in the development of individual personalities, the space, and especially home, is certainly the most significant one. The destabilization of the concept of home as a nest, and the consequent sense of belonging to it, find in the texts of migrant writers a new centrality, telling about others perspectives and imaginary with respect to the dominant one. Often forced to confine themselves in enclaves that exclude them from the territory of the natives, immigrants are driven to transform these spaces into exclusive places of their supportive diversity
Colonia italiana e narrazione letteraria
No full textDespite the recent evolution in studies concerning Italian colonialism in Africa and the valuable contributions from historians, writers, and critics who have highlighted the more genuine and tragic aspects of Italian colonization, a significant portion of this historical narrative continues to be overlooked even today.
The debate that accompanied and followed the Italian presence in Africa has been characterized—most prominently—by a deliberate intent to obscure the truth about the events that defined it, making it rather challenging to identify sources pertinent to an accurate historical and literary reconstruction. However, as has often been the case, and even before History, Literature has succeeded in articulating how Italian colonialism was neither different, nor more humane, nor more tolerant than that of others
Rimpatriati in terra straniera: Ragonese, Capretti, Samaritano e Costantini raccontano la "jaala"
No full textLa “cacciata” degli italiani dalla Libia, nel 1970, coinvolse circa 20.000 persone che, nate in Libia, si sono ritrovate improvvisamente strappate dalla quotidianità e catapultati in un'Italia a loro assolutamente estranea e solo idealmente custode della loro cultura originaria. Questo lavoro presenta, a titolo esemplificativo, alcuni testi narrativi neocoloniali e neostorici di Rita Ragonese, Luciana Capretti, Andrea Amedeo Sammartano e Roberto Costantini che raccontano delle angosce, e del profondo senso di spaesamento sofferto da migliaia di italiani rimpatriati con la forza in una patria sconosciuta.The “expulsion” of the Italians from Libya, in 1970, involved about 20,000 people who, born in Libya, suddenly found themselves torn from everyday life, and catapulted into an Italy absolutely alien to them and only ideally guardian of their original culture. This work presents, by way of example, some neo-colonial and neo-historic narrative texts by Rita Ragonese, Luciana Capretti, Andrea Amedeo Sammartano and Roberto Costantini that tell the anxieties, and the deep sense of disorientation suffered by thousands of Italians forcibly repatriated to an unknown homeland
Lebanon and Egypt: The construction of a vital space in women’s writing
No full textThis paper try to outline the developments of the literary production of the Mashriq, departing from a gender perspective. Approaching the female literary universe of Lebanon and Egypt entails referring to cultural contexts in which women have historically suffered forms of exclusion and marginalisation, when not outright oppression, and in which solidly patriarchal and hierarchical family structures have often found in religious faith an alibi which justifies and facilitates the perpetration and diffusion of such discrimination. In this context literary writing plays a fundamental role: having been long described and interpreted by the male literary world, women begin to speak their truth and express their point of view. Exploring a variety of narrative genres, they present, at the level of content, the multifaceted nature of their ordeals: war, destruction, social conflicts, the horror of violence, the loss of freedom. The result is a writing characterised by a strong social commitment, a writing which, in most cases, provides intellectual survival, becoming a complaint, a protest, a tool for awakening the conscience of their fellow countrymen about their own destinies, and for making their voices heard by those outside their countries, regions and cultures as well
