Traducción de textos literarios e ideología en Legioni e Falangi/Legiones y Falanges. El caso de “La calle Mayor. Racconto di Edgar Neville”
2018
This study is based in the renewed interest in the symbolic universe of totalitarianism, as a forge of cultural spaces for the construction of group identity and ideologically marked linguistic-literary products, as well as possible conflictual cracks, respect to the cultural paradigms in which they are produced. Since, in any case, the link between power and word – even as a literary word and, therefore, a creator of possible worlds – is vigorous and it has the opportunity to activate a further potentiality in the translation process, we propose to analyse an emblematic example of translation of Edgar Neville’s short story, “La calle mayor” (Legioni e Falangi, I, 9, 1941, 27-30), published…

Novellistica del tardo Trecento. Studi e questioni critiche.
2016
The minority paradigm attributed to late 14th century storytellers reveals its insufficiency in the light of the most recent theoretical debate on gender.In the essay it is observed how the adoption of a narrative subject highlights, in the novelistic texts in question, an asymmetrical textual ratio, the mixture of literary and spoken language, are elements of an experimental tension. In the Autumn of the Middle Ages, the metamorphosis of the novel, considered in the face of contemporary figurative languages, also brings to light the dynamic game of plural and unitary, closed and open, as a founding trait of modern narrative processes.
Gli Inglesi in Cina. Harriet Martineau tra tradizione e innovazione
2012
La ristampa di The English in China. A Tale by Harriet Martineau (1832), qui per la prima volta anche in traduzione italiana, permette di approfondire il significato che la short story assume, fin dai primi decenni del secolo, di agente di trasformazione culturale in virtù della relazione privilegiata che il racconto stabilisce con il periodico che ne accoglie i significati, il Tait’s Edinburgh Review. Legato ancora parzialmente agli stilemi propri del novel, ma proiettato verso quei paradigmi tematici e formali che caratterizzeranno il racconto di fine secolo , Gli Inglesi in Cina. Un racconto di Harriet Martineau in-forma il lettore sia sul progetto di smantellamento del vecchio ordine ec…

2020
During the late Qing, a thriving transcultural interaction across China and the West determined a burgeoning cultural environment in which new forms of appreciation and critique contributed to the development of a new sense of literary modernity and new ways of conceiving and classifying literature (wen) distant from the “canon”.
