Augusto Monterroso e la minifinzione ispanoamericana
2007
The author tries to explain the mini-text in relation to the so called "post-modern" condition by resorting -in particular- to the notion of "fractal". This term is taken from the scientific language and distinguishes itself from the notion of "detail", which would clearly refer to a modern vision of the text. Moving from the realm of science to the literary domain, it is inevitable to think of the deconstruction of the narrative canon not so much to negate it as to explore and exploit its creative potentialities in the form of shards, fragments, which the necessary extension of the traditional novel has suffocated since its origine. This outlook implies, in general, an ironical fre-reading…
LA MOSCA LETTERARIA DI AUGUSTO MONTERROSO
2017
Le favole di La oveja negra y demás fábulas oscillano in un delicato equilibrio tra rispetto e dissoluzione delle regole e dei contenuti del genere favolistica. Dietro l’apparente ingenuità di queste favole si nasconde la sovversione nel senso più ampio del termine, non si tratta di una continuazione della tradizione, bensì della sua parodia e della sua messa in discussione. Quel che Monterroso rifiuta non è l’eticità della favola, ma piuttosto la definizione ideologica di questa eticità: nelle sue favole non esiste proposta alcuna e l’eliminazione della morale è altamente significativa. Queste ultime, lungi dal preservare i segreti della cultura immemore, come pretendevano di fare, con ott…

El diario de Augusto Monterroso: La letra E
2007
In El diario de Augusto Monterroso: La letra E (in Assunta Polizzi, Parole discorsi testi nelle culture ispaniche, a cura di, Palermo, Flaccovio, 2007, pp.21-36) the author reflects on the genre of the journal within the framework of the ‘modern’, halfway between the existential testimony and an exercise in writing; fiction and confession. The paper examines the journal of Augusto Monterroso, La letra E, a text focusing on the image of a writer continually searching for adequate forms of expression and his doubts on the very act of writing. La letra E thus ends up being a further testimony to the commitment of the writer to the written word and –at the same time- to his clear intention to p…
