Depicting life, analysing the power: The ‘actuality’ of Italian cinema
2014
The increasing production of biographical films dealing with power and its figures raises interesting questions about the nature and the aims of political cinema. What are the strategies used to represent people whose public image has completely overlapped to their identity? This matter concerns not only thematic aspects of the biopic genre, but more in depth it discloses fundamental issues at the basis of any theory of cinema. From this point of view, some Italian instances propose original solutions, creating a coherent framework in continuity with a long tradition that has marked the history of Italian thought. This article aims at making a survey of these inputs through the analysis of …

Compimento e deriva. Una definizione del rapporto fra short story e biografia nella narrativa contemporanea
2018
L'articolo propone una nuova interpretazione del rapporto fra brevità testuale e aspetto teleologico delle biografie, compiendo un percorso storico-letterario dalle "Vite parallele" di Plutarco fino alle reinterpretazioni novecentesche del genere biografico. The article proposes a new interpretation of the relationship between textual brevity and the teleological aspect of biographies, following a historical-literary path from Plutarch's "Parallel Lives" to the twentieth-century reinterpretations of the biographical genre.
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…
«Per lo più senza desideri e un poco infelici». Ritratto della madre perduta in Wunschloses Unglück di Peter Handke
2020
In this work Wunschloses Unglück is read as if it were an impressionistic biography in images. The tale was born out of an attempt to give Handke’s fifty-year-old mother, who died of suicide, back a story and an identity. A way to give content and contours to the woman and to neutralize the depersonalizing effect of the news of the event in the pages of the local newspaper. The story of the mother is actually, from the very beginning, a reflection of the writer on his own work, on the difficulty of writing ‘true’ stories, on the tormented search for a precarious balance between description and documentation, between narration and image, between truth and fiction. Handke would seem to be gui…
