Riflessività e narrazione autobiografica per una cittadinanza digitale.
2019
Within nowadays information and knowledge society, training paths are exposed to changes due to technological development. These technological hints offer a plurality of communicative tools that endlessly extend the possibility of narrating, talking about oneself, telling oneself and being recognized. In this regard, the present paper deals with Digital Storytelling, with images, music, narration and voice woven together, offering new tools to revisit the narration, intertwining multimedia, interactivity and the web, with traditional practices. All this leads us to consider digital storytelling as a sort of modern version of the ancient art of storytelling (Rule, 2010). The educational chal…
La «segretezza profonda» dei luoghi: Tetto Murato di Lalla Romano
2022
"Tetto Murato consisted of a group of houses, courtyards and vegetable gardens, all surrounded by a square wall. One entered through a half-collapsed arch into a maze of vegetable gardens invaded by chickens, walls and buildings''. This is how the place, around which the narrative warp of a novel was woven in 1957, takes shape in all its vivid physiognomy. The title Tetto Murato (Walled Roof) condenses its distinctive trait in the peculiar evocative concreteness of the image. The inventive dynamics of the narrative will be explored, emphasising how the space in which they unfold, the 'Roof', from the very incipit of the quoted passage, is profiled in all its protagonism. We will dwell on th…
Traces autour de la mémoire. Configuration et fonction de l’attente dans l’œuvre de Georges Perec
2022
Restituire la complessità del reale superando la crisi del linguaggio all’indomani del secondo conflitto mondiale rappresenta per Georges Perec il fine di una nuova letteratura che sia capace di interpretare il suo rapporto con il reale attraverso forme inedite. Così, a partire dal saggio su Robert Antelme (Robert Antelme ou la vérité en littérature), Perec sperimenta nuove strategie narrative riprendendo contemporaneamente il progetto autobiografico che aveva più volte abbandonato. Questo lavoro non intende quindi solo sottolineare l’importanza della scrittura di Antelme nella definizione del Perec più maturo, ma vuole anche dimostrare quale sia stata la funzione di Un Homme qui dort nel p…
Le varianti d’autore in "Asterusher" di Michele Mari
2021
Nel 2019 Michele Mari pubblica una seconda edizione del fototesto Asterusher. Autobiografia per feticci, con l’aggiunta di sedici pagine. La riscrittura diventa innanzitutto una ricomposizione grafica e una nuova disposizione delle pagine, la cui sequenza si dimostra un ampliamento, grazie ad alcune necessarie integrazioni, oppure un’intensificazione di nuclei tematici, sviluppati soprattutto a partire dalle relazioni genitoriali che erano state al centro di Leggenda privata. Il contributo propone lo studio di alcune varianti d’autore e delle loro funzioni nell’archivio fototestuale autobiografico degli oggetti pregnanti di Michele Mari. In 2019 Michele Mari publishes a second edition of th…

Turning Migration Disadvantage into Educational Advantage. Autobiographies of Successful Students with an Immigrant Background
2018
The article focuses on unexpected pathways of successful students with an immigrant background, in order to investigate the implication of this phenomenon from a theoretical, methodological and empirical point of view. After a review of the main sociological studies on “immigrant optimism” towards educational success, I will reflect on biographical approach, particularly suitable to study this topic. A on-going research project based on the collection of educational autobiographies of successful immigrant-origin students, attending upper secondary schools in Northern Italy, is presented. Then, the story of Destiny, a 16 years-old girl with Moroccan origin, is used as a case study to explore…
A Qualitative Study Based on the Reading-life Histories of Future Teachers
2015
Abstract One of the tools that have been used in research on literary education is what are known as reading-life histories or the reading autobiography. In this paper we will offer an analysis and some reflections on the different ways these can be used, by drawing on a sample of histories collected from students training to be teachers since the implementation of the new university curricula within what is known as the European Bologna process. The findings from this analysis open up a range of possibilities in research and innovation in literary training. Based on their previous experiences and recollections as readers, such narratives provide us with important information not only about…
Piccole città per quarantenni. Sul senso di sé nella scrittura storiografica, in margine a un libro di Vanessa Roghi
2019
Starting from an analysis of Vanessa Roghi's recent book, Piccole città, we focus on the link between historiographic writing and autobiography. In particular, it analyzes the way this link changed at the end of the twentieth century, when political categories that had determined identities, even of historians, for more than a century, have finished. Since then, issues considered "private" have emerged in the public debate and in the historiographic debate, as happened for example with drug addiction, at the centre of Roghi's book.
