Visioni dell’America. Viaggio, spazialità e narrazione in De Amicis e Amado
2021
Nella prospettiva della geografia culturale l’odeporica offre l’opportunità di studiare alcune dinamiche di (ri)produzione simbolica relative al modo di concepire e rappresentare concetti chiave quali lo spazio, il paesaggio e le interazioni umane. Questo lavoro, partendo dall’analisi di alcuni brani significativi di due raccolte di scritti, In America (1897) di Edmondo De Amicis e In giro per le Americhe (2001) di Jorge Amado, studia, con un approccio geografico-culturale e semiotico, le modalità di costruzione e descrizione dello spazio fisico e simbolico comprese le «frontiere», nonché le interazioni e la socialità attraverso la testualizzazione di esperienze diverse. La comparazione fra…
Récit de voyage et expérience de l'espace : la Méditerranée écrite et vécue par Josep Piera
2018
Based on some literary extracts (autobiographical prose and poetry) of the Valencian writer Josep Piera, the relationship between the experience of the journey and the writing that comes along as a result of it is analyzed. Three key concepts are discussed : the journey, the Mediterranean and literature. As we will see, the Mediterranean is understood here as a close and familiar world : a mythical, historical, cultural and vital geographical space. The places visited (Greece, Naples, Sicily, etc.) interact and produce a dialogue with the geographical space and the notion of human time.
Charles Nodier, Trilogie écossaise
2013
Charles Nodier’s summer ambulations through Scotland in 1821 were to spawn a genre: the romantic travelogue. The reader is invited on a journey through age-old legends and oneiric cartography, through the fogs of ancient Caledonia and modern Scotland, and into the land of goblins and fairies.
Città e architettura moderna in Sicilia nelle vedute del Voyage di Saint-Non: Attrazione e deformazione
2018
Some of the views in the fourth volume of the Voyage Pittoresque by the Abbot of Saint-Non, published in two parts (1785 and 1786) in Paris, reproduce architectural structures and urban settings of Sicily in the modern era. Among the places chosen by the architects and painters who took part in the campaign carried out between 1777 and 1778, those relating to the architecture of the time were considerably fewer in number (five out of a total of one hundred and forty subjects). They regarded the city of Palermo and three major episcopal towns: Mazara, Syracuse and Catania. In light of the coeval pictorial taste for ruins of classical antiquity, this numerical disproportion reflected the purp…

Robert Foulke, The Sea Voyage Narrative, Routledge, New York and London, 1997, pp. 244, ISBN 0-415-93894-5. The Sea Voyage Narrative consente al lettore di immergersi nell'affascinante mondo della letteratura di mare. Robert Foulke, fine conoscitore dell'ambiente marino, mette in luce la complessità e l'aspetto proteiforme della sea literature, che non può definirsi come un vero e proprio genere letterario, ma soltanto come un'ampia categoria descrittiva. Il testo è suddiviso in sei capitoli, ciascuno dei quali analizza aspetti connessi alle esperienze di viaggi per mare in relazione con elementi narratologici e tematici di capolavori della sea literature.
