FOOD AS A CONCEPT OF CULTURE AND INDIAN CODE IN JHUMPA LAHIRI`S WRITING
No full textThe purpose of the article is to analyze the culinary concept with Indian gastronomy code analysis in
the context of the transcultural paradigm in Jhumpa Lahiri`s writing (an American writer of Bengali origin).
In the article we used the following methods: cultural and historical (defining the role and place of Lahiri`s
writing in US literature of the twentieth century), historical and typological (determining the specifics of
themes, motifs, images, story features of the writer`s works), functional (clarifying the features of Lahiri`s
poetics), hermeneutic (interpretation of various aspects of the literary text), narratological analysis (specifics` analysis of Lahiri`s narrative manner), biographical (revealing the reflection of author`s personal experience in her writing), the principles of postcolonial and decolonial criticism (rethinking the problem of
“otherness” in transculture discourse).
The author of the article notes that food serves as conditional language for characters and as cultural code that interprets by “ours” only – Indian culture representatives. It is indicated that in the context
of transcultural understanding, food and the process of its preparation are of particular importance: usual home-cooked dishes are synonymous of protection, security, peace, belonging to one’s home; instead,
the presence of “other” exotic dishes makes it possible to get acquainted with the culinary preferences
of another culture, as well as to trace the basic similarities and differences.Therefore, cultural culinary
differences are found in the kitchen, where the characters are accustomed to spend most of the day and
especially carefully prepare the dishes. An interpretation of cooking as a true art is associated with Jhumpa
Lahiri`s marginalized / border characters: you need to remember how much, when, and what kind of spices
add to the dishes. As a true Bengali women, the characters skillfully prepare “their” traditional dishes. As a
result of cooking of two dozen dishes, the smell of mutton curry and pulao (a traditional Indian vegetable
pilaf) is especially heard in the rooms. There is a “cultural mix” in the kitchen: Indian dishes are prepared
with the help of American household appliances. The “food” concept embodies a cultural phenomenon
and allows understanding the features of national Indian cuisine; it is a cultural code that gives meaningful information. The semantic structure of lexical units that fill the “food” concept in Lahiri`s works, as well
as cultural and value aspects of this concept are widely represented. It is important to distinguish between
home-made daily food or holiday treats, and food as an element of Indian national culture. The writer describes in detail the traditional Indian dishes and the usual, hastily prepared, daily American ones. The
reader gets a complete picture of the traditional festive dishes of Indian cuisine. Thus, the structure of the
“food” concept can be represented as follows: the names of traditional everyday food (Americans and Bengalis) and traditional American and Bengali holiday dishes. Food is directly connected with gender issues.
Eating habits and the way of cooking determine a woman`s identity as well as her difference. Food emphasizes woman`s cultural affiliation: in Lahiri`s writing it is shown that food serves as sacred ritual and art for
Indians, in contrast to the American habit of hunger satisfying with semi-finished products. It is noticeable
that within Lahiri`s texts the verb “to eat” has a lot of synonyms: to consume, to guzzle, to have, to lunch, to
be full of something, to throw down, etc. Using such a variety of lexical and semantic series of one verb, the
author reveals the characters` attitude towards traditional Indian cuisine. But what important is not what
synonymous series of the word “food” the author uses, but that it conveys Indian culinary customs and
traditions. Expressing not meaning but sense, food continues to be an element of Indian national cultur
Jhumpa Lahiri ovvero la traversata
No full texthis essay explores the singular and paradigmatic transformation of Jhumpa Lahiri, renowned American author of Bengali descent, into a writer in the Italian language: at the core of this metamorphosis lies her Italian oeuvre, which stands as a compelling example of a complex literary reconfiguration. The process began with an implicit act of self-translation from English, undertaken during her apprenticeship in Italian, and culminated in the emergence of an autonomous Italian literary voice. The originality and literary quality of her Italian works are such that Lahiri may now be fully acknowledged not only as a prominent Anglo-American author, but also as a significant figure within contemporary Italian literature, in a state of productive and harmonious bilingual coexistence

Jhumpa Lahiri: translated woman, italian writer
No full textJhumpa Lahiri has achieved success and prestige by writing novels and short stories about the Indian-American experience in the United States. In 2015 the author debuted as an Italian language writer with In altre parole, a series of reflections on her process of Italian language learning. Since then she has published Il vestito dei libri, a small volume exploring the topic of book covers, and a novel, Dove mi trovo. This paper proposes to draw some considerations on the relationship that Jhumpa Lahiri, a displaced writer and translated woman, established with English and Italian languages in the light of texts that thematize issues about
transit and diaspora in the contemporary world.Jhumpa Lahiri, que obteve sucesso e prestígio escrevendo romances e contos sobre a experiência de indianos e seus descendentes nos Estados Unidos, fez sua primeira experiência de escritora em língua italiana com In altre parole, no ano de 2015. A esse volume composto de textos curtos – relatos pessoais de sua aprendizagem do italiano –, vieram se somar um outro volume sobre as capas de livros, Il vestito dei libri, e Dove mi trovo, um romance. Este trabalho se propõe a traçar algumas considerações sobre a relação de Lahiri, escritora deslocada e mulher traduzida, com as línguas inglesa e italiana à luz de textos que tematizam questões referentes ao
trânsito e à diáspora no mundo contemporâneo
Metamorfosis lingüística y escritura autobiográfica en In altre parole de Jhumpa Lahiri
No full textLa escritora americana Jhumpa Lahiri plantea en su último libro la problemática de la identidad lingüística y social. La decisión de utilizar el italiano y no el inglés, se percibe como una transformación que la autora explica recurriendo a una técnica propia de la escritura femenina: el relato autobiográfico. La lengua aparece entonces como un factor clave en la formación de identidades personales y colectivas. Nuestra propuesta examina el uso que Lahiri hace del italiano como motor del cambio. Por otra parte, la autora alcanza tal empatía con el lector que la historia se convierte en un claro ejemplo de escritura femenina.In her latest work, the American writer Jhumpa Lahiri, suggests the problem of dual social and linguistic identity. The decision to use Italian language instead of English is perceived as a personal transformation that the author justifies by making use of the essential technical of female literature: the autobiography. The language appears as a key factor in both formations of public and private identities. Our proposal analyzes the use that Lahiri makes about Italian language as a starting point of her metamorphosis. Moreover, the author reaches such an empathy with the reader, that the story is turned into an evident example of women´s writing

Jhumpa Lahiri – mehrsprachige Autorin und (Selbst-)Übersetzerin
No full textJhumpa Lahiri ha vinto il Pulitzer Prize for Fiction nel 2000 per il suo primo libro, la raccolta di racconti Interpreter of Maladies (1999), e da allora è considerata un’importante scrittrice americana contemporanea. Nel 2011 ha deciso di trasferirsi a Roma con la famiglia, dove ha scritto In altre parole (2015), un libro che racconta la sua esperienza con la lingua italiana. Da allora ha deciso di scrivere solo in italiano e finora ha pubblicato un romanzo, racconti, poesie e un saggio in questa lingua.
Il presente contributo ripercorre il percorso dell’autrice, che negli ultimi anni è tornata alla sua prima lingua letteraria come traduttrice e autotraduttrice dall’italiano all’inglese. Nell’analisi, mi concentro sul legame tra il multilinguismo di Lahiri e il suo lavoro di traduttrice: è, infatti, solo scrivendo in italiano che Lahiri diventa, prima, traduttrice e, infine, autotraduttrice. Il presente studio si concentrerà in particolare sulle riflessioni poetologiche dell’autrice come (auto)traduttrice e sulla ricezione della sua opera.Jhumpa Lahiri won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2000 for her first book, the short story collection Interpreter of Maladies (1999), and has since been considered an important contemporary American writer. In 2011, she decided to move to Rome with her family, where she wrote In altre parole (2015), a book about her experience with the Italian language, in Italian. She decided to write only in Italian from then on and so far has published a novel, stories, poems and essays in that language.
This article traces the path of this multilingual author, who in recent years has also returned to her first literary language as a translator and self-translator from Italian into English. In my analysis, I focus on the connection between Lahiri’s multilingualism and her work as a translator, because it was only through writing in Italian that Lahiri became a translator and finally a self-translator. In these considerations, I include the poetological reflections of the author as a (self-)translator as well as her reception.Jhumpa Lahiri erhielt im Jahr 2000 den Pulitzer Prize for Fiction für ihr erstes Buch, den Kurzgeschichtenband Interpreter of Maladies (1999), und gilt seither als eine der wichtigsten amerikanischen GegenwartsautorInnen. 2011 beschloss sie, mit ihrer Familie nach Rom zu ziehen, wo sie In altre parole (2015), ein Buch über ihre Erfahrung mit der italienischen Sprache, auf Italienisch schrieb. Sie beschloss, fortan nur mehr auf Italienisch zu schreiben und hat bislang einen Roman, Erzählungen, Gedichte sowie Essays in dieser Sprache veröffentlicht.
Der Beitrag zeichnet den Weg dieser mehrsprachigen Autorin nach, die in den letzten Jahren zudem als Übersetzerin und Selbstübersetzerin vom Italienischen ins Englische wieder zu ihrer ersten Literatursprache zurückgekehrt ist. In meiner Analyse konzentriere ich mich auf den Zusammenhang zwischen Lahiris Mehrsprachigkeit und ihrer Übersetzertätigkeit, denn erst durch das Schreiben auf Italienisch wurde Lahiri zur Übersetzerin und schließlich zur Selbstübersetzerin. In diese Überlegungen beziehe ich die poetologischen Reflexionen der Autorin als (Selbst-)Übersetzerin sowie ihre Rezeption mit ein
