Prefazione al romanzo di Jumoke Verissimo, Memoria e desiderio
2021
A well established and renowned poet residing in Canada, Jumoke Verissimo debuted with her first novel, A Small Silence, in 2019. The Preface to the Italian edition elucidates how in Verissimo's fictional account of a dissident intellectual released from prison after the end of Abacha's dictatorship, and in his friendship with a young woman studying at the local University, we find a portrait of today's Nigeria trying to survive its post-independence, post-colonial, post-dictatorship era.

Framing Migrant Memories: Lampedusa's Fragmented Archives
2022
The small island of Lampedusa, a key destination of the Central Mediterranean Route connecting Africa to Italy, offers a special observatory on the contemporary trans-Mediterranean odyssey of migrants, although often transformed into a “border spectacle.” Upon landing, migrants are stripped of their belongings, as these are impounded by the authorities. Such an act of dispossession is intended to deprive them of their histories, family ties and cultural identity. Photographer Mario Badagliacca has portrayed a selection of these lost and retrieved items in his work Fragments (2013). Each object reveals expectations, fears, desires, endurance, but cannot tell a full story. They are fragments …
Davide e Golia. Giuseppe Antonio Borgese e la traiettoria americanista di un esule antifascista
2019
Giuseppe 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 ho…
New York City, la più grande città del cibo italiano
2021
This work offers an analysis of Italian restaurants in New York City. Historical literature and anthropological has repeatedly highlighted the role that Italian emigration to the east coast plays of the United States and the spread of gastronomic clothes marked as Italian in foreign territory they had in the construction of a tricolor gastronomic effigy (in part. Montanari 2010; Cinotto 2001; Cecla 1998). This interdependence strengthens the relationship from a semiotic perspective with otherness as an indispensable condition for building an indigenous food identity and food stereotypies recognized as "typical". Tricolor food symbols such as pasta and pizza owe their nationalization, for th…

La mia terra è impareggiabile. Il paesaggio della memoria ne Las novelas de Agata di Antonio Dal Masetto
2019
Una delle possibili chiavi di lettura per comprendere il valore del paesaggio come riferimento identitario è quella del ruolo che interpreta la memoria di un luogo che è ‘appartenuto’ all’individuo che lo abbandonato, rafforzando, nel ricordo, il legame con esso. Questo processo di rielaborazione memoriale del paesaggio è spesso al centro delle creazioni narrative delle cosiddette scritture della migrazione. Se da un lato, al tempo della nostra grande emigrazione, molti Italiani sembravano essersi ben inseriti all’interno della società del paese di accoglienza, dall’altro alcuni percepivano la nuova realtà in un modo ben diverso che si scontrava con le difficoltà dell’integrazione, con una …
