Penser la frontière entre essai et autobiographie à partir de la bande dessinée. Are You My Mother? d'Alison Bechdel
2018
Based on Alison Bechdel's autobiographical essay Are You My Mother?, this article is a discussion on two boundaries of the essay : a generic boundary between essay and autobiography, questioned by the possibility of autobiographical essay, and an intermedial boundary challenged by the development of graphic essays in comics. Are You My Mother? is a self-reflexive autobiographical work which describes the author's discovery of psychoanalysis and deals at the same time with mother-child relationships and the continuity between novel writing, autobiography and psychoanalysis, thus articulating autobiographical material and general thoughts. The book can be described in particular as a consiste…

La «segretezza profonda» dei luoghi: Tetto Murato di Lalla Romano
2022
"Tetto Murato consisted of a group of houses, courtyards and vegetable gardens, all surrounded by a square wall. One entered through a half-collapsed arch into a maze of vegetable gardens invaded by chickens, walls and buildings''. This is how the place, around which the narrative warp of a novel was woven in 1957, takes shape in all its vivid physiognomy. The title Tetto Murato (Walled Roof) condenses its distinctive trait in the peculiar evocative concreteness of the image. The inventive dynamics of the narrative will be explored, emphasising how the space in which they unfold, the 'Roof', from the very incipit of the quoted passage, is profiled in all its protagonism. We will dwell on th…
