Intersezioni culturali nelle Terre mobili di Yousef Wakkas

Abstract

Terra mobile, a collection of short stories written in Italian by a Syrian writer, represents a brilliant example of migrant literature. Yousef Wakkas, one of the most important exponents of this new literary trend, approaches the migrant subject in a new and innovative manner, by making use of non-traditional literary techniques, setting and times. The intersection among different cultures is recreated by means of multiple references to life, places, objects, human interaction in post post-modern world, and by means of emblematic, allegoric possibleworlds.
