Narrazioni dagli interstizi. Lidia Curti e le fabulazioni dei femminismi

2021

On 21 April 2021 Lidia Curti left us. One of the first to develop cultural and postcolonial studies in Italy, a central voice in feminist and gender studies, a tireless scholar, Lidia Curti was a fundamental figure for all of us. In this article, through three of her key texts, I retrace the leitmotiv of women’s writing of living ‘between’ the interstices in the light of Donna Haraway’s FS figurations, and the postcolonial and feminist method of the listening position and of ‘speaking nearby’ against the powers of ventriloquism.

Cuando la violencia genera identidad. La guerra en Sri Lanka y la diáspora tamil en Sicilia

2011

Sri Lanka, durante las dos últimas décadas, fue el escenario de una prolongada guerra civil entre la mayoría cingalesa budista y la minoría tamil hindú, que ha defendido su independencia. La primera parte de este artículo muestra que no fueron las diferencias de origen étnico-cultural las que llevaron a la guerra, sino las razones políticas y económicas. La guerra civil ha llevado a una radicalización y cristalización de las diferencias étnicas a través de la manipulación del pasado y del papel político del budismo. La guerra provocó la diáspora tamil en todo el mundo, incluyendo también Sicilia. En la segunda parte del artículo, se presentan algunos puntos del trabajo de campo realizado co…

I do not intend to speak about; just speak nearby. Riflessioni di Geografia culturale per Lidia Curti

2021

This article introduces a reflection on personal journeys, of dialogues and readings, with Lidia Curti. What is feminine writing? And, what lies behind the screen of representation? These aim at highlighting their political and positional nature within a way of thinking inspired by geographical studies and the feminist thought. So, an attempt to create the bonds for a reflection on the meaning of writing and translation, and on the sense of identity and alterity is made through the voices of authors like Morrison, Devi, and Spivak. It is in the border writing of postcolonial authors that we find a ‘space of in-between’ that allows what has been removed – a testimony of the Mediterranean mat…

Postcolonial studies and translation theory

2009

La característica diferenciadora que poseen los enfoques postcoloniales en traducción radica en el hecho de que éstos analizan encuentros interculturales que se desarrollan en contextos marcados por desequilibrios en las relaciones de poder y es ahí donde se manifiestan tanto sus virtudes como sus defectos. Su mayor aportación ha sido sacar a la luz el papel del poder en la producción y recepción de traducciones. Sin embargo, se duda de que las teorías postcoloniales puedan aplicarse satisfactoriamente a otros intercambios interlingüísticos en los que las desigualdades en las relaciones de poder sean mínimas. Por otra parte, existe una tendencia generalizada a infravalorar las diferencias e…

Touring the magical North : Borealism and the indigenous Sámi in contemporary English-language children’s fantasy literature

2017

Discourses of exotic Lapland with its indigenous inhabitants, the Sámi, are widely circulated in the tourist industry and also surface in contemporary English-language children’s fantasy fiction. In contrast to the ‘self-orientalism’ of discourses of tourism, where places and people are represented as exotic to a tourist gaze, the portrayals of the North and its inhabitants gain different symbolic meanings in fictional texts produced by outsiders who rely on earlier texts – myths, fairy tales and anthropological accounts – rather than on their own lived experience of the North or indigeneity. This article applies the concept of Borealism to examine cross-cultural intertextuality and discou…

LA DEMOCRAZIA INDIANA. UNA CREAZIONE TRANSCULTURALE

2008

Nel 2007 l’India democratica ha compiuto 60 anni e, avendo raggiunto la stimabile quota di un miliardo e centomilioni di abitanti, si dichiara con orgoglio la più grande democrazia del mondo. Ma quanto è legittimo tale orgoglio? Questa domanda potrebbe interpretarsi in due modi: 1. quanto è democratica la democrazia indiana? Oppure 2. quanto è indiana la democrazia indiana? Cercherò – nella prima parte di questo scritto – di rispondere alla prima domanda introducendo brevemente la storia e l’attualità politica dell’India. Nella parte successiva argomenterò il secondo interrogativo, volendo dimostrare che esso è mal posto e suggerendo un diverso approccio per comprendere le creazioni transcu…

Cinq theses sur la litterature-monde en français: une polémique

2010

Le concept de littérature-monde n’est pas dénué de contradictions internes. Le présent article tente de s’interroger sur les fondements idéologiques de cette notion et la conjoncture internationale qui l’a fait naître. Sous formes de thèses et de manière volontairement polémique, l’article tente de montrer que la notion même est le résultat d’une littérature française dont la primauté est de plus en plus contestée. Par ailleurs, lorsque les fondateurs de ce concept déclarent la fin de la Francophonie, il est peu clair de quelle francophonie ils parlent et ils ne semblent guère familiers avec les organisations francophones. Par ailleurs, elle peut être considérée comme une adaptation fidèle …
