Multiple Homes and Unhomely Belonging

Abstract

In una società in cui la migrazione assume un ruolo significativo le nostre identità diventano ambivalenti per noi stessie soltanto parzialmente comprensibili agli altri. Questo articolo riflette sul ruolo della parola scritta, ruolo politico, sociale e letterario, come una narrativa di ‘case multiple’. Tra le questioni che determinano i discorsi e le narrativedi ‘case multiple’ e di ‘non-appartenenza’ vi sono il linguaggio e la politica del linguaggio (situazionale o reale), idee di identità come solide e identificabili, l’attraversamento costante di frontiere come elemento centrale nelle vite di molte persone, e la collisione dei codici sociali e culturali nelle pratiche e nei significati assegnati agli‘stranieri’.
