More than Language and Literature: Postcolonial Connections and Linguistic Paradigms in Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar’s Indian English Fiction
L’articolo tratta dei legami transdisciplinari fra lingua e letteratura nel contesto postcoloniale, concentrandosi sulla scena letteraria indiana di lingua inglese. L’articolo sottolinea l’importanza di un approccio al testo letterario che tenga presente aspetti linguistici per svelare complesse questioni identitarie. In quest’ottica, viene presentata un’analisi preliminare di alcuni racconti tratti da The Adivasi Will Not Dance (2017) di Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar, uno scrittore della comunità adivasi, i cosiddetti ‘tribali’. I racconti, che descrivono lo sfruttamento di tale comunità, presentano una notevole ricchezza stilistica grazie al Indian English, ai prestiti dalla lingua santhali, e al gioco fra i vari registri del testo.

Narrative Form and Palimpsestic Memory in Namwali Serpell’s The Old Drift
L’articolo esplora il romanzo di esordio di Namwali Serpell, The Old Drift (2019), attraverso la lente della ‘memoria del palinsesto’, individuando l’interconnessione tra memoria e migrazione. In primo luogo, si analizza il rapporto dialettico tra tempo eonico e alcuni elementi paratestuali che, nel tentativo di stabilire ordine e guidare il lettore, sembrano imitare ed evocare la stessa trama intricata del palinsesto. Quindi, si discute l’oscillazione tra narrazione extradiegetica e intradiegetica e l’uso del modello del romanzo multi-generazionale, mettendone in luce il carattere palinsestico in cui varie generazioni e storie diverse si intersecano, generando una spirale che rifrange le traiettorie multiple e invisibili del tempo.

Depression on a Screen. “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” in the Light of Cognitive Theories of Depression
Questo articolo analizza “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock“ alla luce di alcuni studi dello psichiatra americano A. T. Beck, in particolare le teorie cognitive e i criteri diagnostici da lui elaborati per interpretare e analizzare sintomi e livelli della depressione. Dallo studio è emerso che molti dei sintomi presenti nell’Inventory for Measuring Depression (sedici su ventuno) sono rinvenibili – a diversi livelli di significato e significante – sia nella struttura poetica che nel tessuto figurativo dell’opera, mentre aspetti specifici della Cognitive Therapy of Depression (in particolare ciò che Beck definisce “Faulty Information Processing” e due dei punti cruciali di questo processo cognitivo, vale a dire la “Selective abstraction” e la “Arbitrary inference”) sono individuabili in alcune delle più importanti isotopie figurative del poema.

Michael Field: spazi poetici alternativi attraverso ispirazioni ecfrastiche
Il fascino del rapporto tra la letteratura, le arti sorelle e il viaggio intreccia le imprese dell’essere umano e l’atto di scriverne, di farne un racconto, di condividerle con gli altri (Pantini 1999). Le poesie contenute nella raccolta Sight and Song (1892) di Michael Field, pseudonimo maschile sotto il quale scrivevano Katherine Harris Bradley e sua nipote Edith Emma Cooper, riescono non solo a celebrare il rapporto tra la letteratura e le arti figurative ma diventano anche rappresentazione verbale dell’arte visiva, ovvero dell’ékphrasis considerata scambio tra culture visive e testuali. Nella presente analisi le rivoluzionarie ispirazioni ecfrastiche delle scrittrici dimostreranno come fosse possibile osservare l’arte e la realtà in modo diverso e tradurla in testi poetici per far emergere quella capacità politica di sconvolgere identità e gerarchie sociali dell’epoca vittoriana.

La rinascita della tragedia dallo spirito del blues nel teatro di August Wilson
Nato nel 1945 a Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, August Wilson è stato il drammaturgo afroamericano più prolifico e rappresentato del Novecento. Il Century Cycle, un corpus di dieci testi teatrali che ripercorre la storia afroamericana del ventesimo secolo, è espressione del realismo spirituale di Wilson, un tipo di teatro che, pur aderendo alla tradizione realista euroamericana, vi immette elementi di innovazione ispirati alla musica blues e alla cosmologia Yoruba. Il saggio prende in analisi questa duplice matrice culturale per dimostrare come la drammaturgia di Wilson, pur tenendo fede al principio aristotelico della mìmesis che governa il dramma realista, sia permeata da un’estetica nera. Nel concepire un teatro in cui musica e parola si compenetrano in un contesto performativo rituale, Wilson ripristina l’armonia tra dionisiaco e apollineo auspicata da Friedrich Nietzsche, rianimando quello che secondo il filosofo tedesco era lo spirito primigenio della tragedia greca e immettendo al tempo stesso un èthos inconfondibilmente afroamericano nel canone teatrale occidentale.

Fra ‘letterario’ e digitale: alle origini delle Digital Humanities
Padre Roberto Busa è universalmente considerato il fondatore dello Humanities Computing (HC) per il suo approccio pionieristico all’analisi del testo, che ha aperto la strada alla linguistica computazionale. Questo focus iniziale sul ‘letterario’ si è indirizzato nel corso degli anni verso nuove modalità d’interazione fra umanistiche e computing. Le Digital Humanities (DH) rappresentano un contesto di natura metodologica e di portata interdisciplinare. Questo contributo intende esplorare a grandi linee la transizione fra HC e DH, nel tentativo di evidenziare i principali elementi di continuità e/o di cambiamento.

Metaphors of Psychological Deterioration: the Case of Depression
Il presente articolo si propone di individuare e analizzare i comportamenti linguistici metaforici di individui che convivono con stati depressivi. A tale scopo, sono stati selezionati quattro fora online di auto-aiuto dedicati a varie malattie mentali, tra cui la depressione. I dati raccolti sono stati interpretati alla luce dei principi cardine della Teoria della Metafora Concettuale e della Teoria psicologica dell’Auto-determinazione. La combinazione di questi due quadri teorici permette, in primo luogo, di individuare modelli metaforici ricorrenti nella comprensione della depressione e, in secondo luogo, di discernere una dimensione psichica armonica da una problematica per il benessere psicologico della persona.

“The Origins of Speech Lie in Song”: Music as Language in Coetzee’s Age of Iron
In Vergogna, David Lurie trova irragionevole l’affermazione secondo cui “la società umana ha creato il linguaggio per comunicare pensieri, sentimenti e intenzioni”, credendo, privatamente e al contrario, che “le origini della parola risiedano nel canto” (Coetzee 2000: 3-4). Nel mio libro del 2010 J. M. Coetzee and the Power of Narrative, ho incluso una breve disamina di riferimenti musicali come forma di linguaggio nel lavoro di Coetzee. In questo articolo esaminerò i miei presupposti in modo approfondito, rintracciando risonanze musicali in Età di ferro, sia nella prosa che nella forma e struttura del romanzo. Cercherò di dimostrare che nonostante sia noto per la sobrietà dello stile, Coetzee è in realtà uno scrittore lirico e appassionato, attento ai ritmi e alle strutture musicali che sono elementi essenziali per il suo lavoro.

Il medico a teatro: Lucius Junius Brutus di “Mad Nat” Lee
L’originalità di stile e contenuti della produzione di Nathaniel Lee è spesso interpretata principalmente alla luce della presunta malattia mentale dell’autore. Il presente contributo propone un nuovo approccio all’opera di Lee; dimostra come la tragedia Brutus(1680), che contiene una sorta di nosologia delle alterazioni del pensiero o del comportamento umano, sia un testo liminare, sulla soglia tra opera letteraria e trattato medico. L’autore si appropria del discorso scientifico a lui contemporaneo non solo per contestare le più recenti concezioni di patologia mentale, ma anche come strumento per articolare una riflessione sulla condizione del potere politico.

Alfabetizzazione di adulti immigrati: le donne burkinabé a Spilimbergo
I corsi di lingua per donne immigrate hanno recentemente suscitato l’interesse degli studiosi. Numerosi casi sono citati dalla letteratura e studiati sia dal punto di vista linguistico che socioeconomico. Le donne immigrate sono vulnerabili, soprattutto quando arrivano da Paesi in cui il divario di genere è più ampio. In Italia, possono conoscere l’isolamento sociale, quando sono confinate alla famiglia e all’assistenza dei minori. La partecipazione ai corsi di L2 ha dunque una valenza non solamente linguistica, contribuisce infatti all’emancipazione e offre opportunità di maggiore partecipazione alla vita sociale. Un caso specifico è rappresentato dalle donne del Burkina Faso residenti a Spilimbergo (Pordenone), che nel 2010, 2012 e 2015 hanno frequentato tre corsi di alfabetizzazione progettati in maniera specifica per loro.

Suspended Quotations: A Corpus Analysis of Functions
Questo lavoro si avvale di strumenti tipici della linguistica dei corpora, oltre che di analisi manuali, per confrontare la suspended quotation in Charles Dickens e in Jane Austen. Il confronto tra due autori così differenti per stile, scopo e contesto letterario è funzionale alla creazione di un elenco dei ruoli che possono essere svolti da questo particolare espediente narrativo. Lo studio mostra che sebbene alcune delle funzioni identificate nella letteratura precedente in riferimento alle suspended quotation di Dickens siano specifiche di questo autore, molte altre possono essere considerate ‘universali’. L’analisi mostra inoltre che questo espediente narrativo può svolgere una gamma di funzioni molto più ampia rispetto a quelle evidenziate fino ad ora.

Because the Poet: Pasolini According to Patti Smith
Il dialogo interdisciplinare, l’attitudine ribelle e la sublimazione della dissidenza attraverso la sperimentazione di nuove forme come atto di speranza sono i nodi cruciali del rapporto tra Pier Paolo Pasolini e Patti Smith, che ha sempre considerato lo scrittore italiano tra i suoi più grandi maestri lungo tutta la sua carriera, accanto a Blake, Rimbaud e la Beat Generation. Dalla poesia di Babel ai testi di Easter, passando per la serie fotografica Pasolini es vie, l’eclettica artista americana non ha mai smesso di celebrare le opere letterarie e cinematografiche di questo autore come una costante fonte di ispirazione, creando un legame divenuto molto significativo per il pubblico ma mai debitamente approfondito dalla critica. In termini di ricezione, non bisogna inoltre dimenticare che questa originale relazione ha anche spinto molti (soprattutto fuori dall’Italia) a scoprire la figura di Pasolini per la prima volta. Questo articolo esplora il Pasolini di Patti Smith e i lavori che più l’hanno influenzata negli anni, rivelando attraverso un approccio intertestuale e interdiscorsivo come il poeta abbia contribuito in maniera determinante a plasmare l’immaginario e la visione spirituale di una delle più importanti voci cantautorali del panorama contemporaneo.

Plurivocal Narration as an Empathetic Response of Resistance to Colonial Prejudice. Writing Alterity in The Voyage Out
Questo saggio intende chiarire come la letteratura possa promuovere un'Etica dell’immaginazione empatica’. I testi letterari illustrano e spesso invitano all’accettazione di valori socialmente condivisi, ma possono anche, altrettanto spesso, tradursi in una sfida alla logica di tali valori, non solo a livello dei personaggi e dei loro comportamenti ma a partire dallo speciale uso del linguaggio e delle strategie narrative messi in atto dallo scrittore. La complessa plurivocità del letterario consente infatti la percezione di soggettività molto diverse e diviene efficace strumento di resistenza al pregiudizio consentendo un approccio più approfondito all’esperienza dell’alterità. Queste tesi verranno riprese in riferimento a The Voyage Out di Virginia Woolf. Un’attenzione particolare verrà data al divario tra le posizioni del narratore e quelle dei personaggi in quanto strumentale all’empatetica critica woolfiana al colonialismo.

Not to Worry, Not to Be Unduly Concerned
“Once Upon a Time” by Nadine Gordimer: A Fairy Tale for Peace
Considerata dalla critica una delle più significative e drammatiche dichiarazioni contro l’apartheid, “Once Upon a Time” di Gordimer si presenta anche come una sapiente costruzione retorica. Ponendo al centro della narrazione l’imbarazzante tema dell’infanticidio, la scrittrice costruisce con insospettata e ironica leggerezza una favola che, pur soddisfacendo i requisiti del genere, si allontana da esso per un eccesso di dolore. Sarà la tragedia antica, promotrice di un amaro modello di pace, a dettare le forme e i contenuti del breve racconto che perfettamente rispecchia le tre unità aristoteliche, che ha una struttura classica, e i cui argomenti principali attingono al repertorio della mitologia greca.

Empathy and Irony in “Keeping Fit” by Nadine Gordimer
Questo saggio offre un’analisi testuale di "Keeping Fit", racconto pubblicato nel 1991 in Jump and Other Stories, quando in Sudafrica era stato abolito il regime dell’apartheid ma non era stata ancora introdotta la democrazia. "Keeping Fit" è a mio avviso uno dei racconti più ironici e 'polarizzati' della raccolta. Ritengo che il racconto sfidi i contrasti che mette in campo, attraverso la dissoluzione ironica e carnevalesca delle differenze, evocando al tempo stesso un forte senso del perturbante, che destabilizza gli steccati e le divisioni su cui è costruita la storia. La protagonista nera è presentata come amorevole e capace di empatia, mentre la coppia bianca è descritta come egoista e indifferente; eppure, il finale aperto suggerisce, con ironia, la possibilità di un cambiamento e rinnovamento.

‘Her-stories’ per una cultura di pace: Indigo, La tempesta al femminile di Marina Warner tra passato e futuro
L’articolo propone una lettura del romanzo Indigo (1992) di Marina Warner alla luce della teoria della trasformazione culturale elaborata dalla studiosa Riane Eisler per evidenziare il ruolo cruciale dei racconti e delle storie nel processo di formazione delle coscienze e di rieducazione individuale e collettiva, sollecitando una riflessione sul potere della parola creativa e sull’importanza di una scrittura di partnership. Rivisitazione in chiave femminile de La tempesta shakespeariana, il romanzo affida alle storytellers, antiche e moderne Sibille, il compito di rivelare l’intreccio inestricabile di territori e popoli, di passato e presente, per esplorare con un approccio ‘contrappuntistico’ (Said) quelle ‘shared histories’ da cui ripartire per la costruzione di una cultura di pace fondata sulla ‘comprensione’ e sul rispetto per l’Altra/o.

“Albion beheld thy beauty”. Vala, Jerusalem and Blake’s Holistic Approach to the Cosmos
Alla luce dell’attuale rilevanza degli studi blakeani e con particolare attenzioneai personaggi di Vala e Jerusalem, questo studio si propone di discuterel’atteggiamento controverso dell’autore nei confronti del mondo naturale edella dimensione femminile. Il ruolo di Vala come crudele dea della Naturasembra poter essere rivalutato se interpretato alla luce del simbolismo legatoalla divinità egiziana Iside, a sua volta associato al topos dello svelamento, cosìcome alla metafora della tessitura. Considerando, inoltre, le figure femminilidi Thel e Lyca, questo saggio intende dimostrare come l’originale rapporto traparola e immagine che caratterizza i plates blakeani contribuisca a promuoverela necessità di un’interazione empatica tra le dimensioni umana, naturale edivina: una relazione di inter-in-dipendenza tra uomo e cosmo che, sul modellodegli antichi Misteri, può essere compresa esclusivamente attraverso un percorsoiniziatico di rivelazione.

Narrative Empathy in James Bradley’s Clade: Disability, Ecosickness and Hope
Nel suo romanzo più recente, Clade (2015), lo scrittore australiano James Bradley segue i percorsi conflittuali di tre generazioni della famiglia Leith, ritra­endo scenari apocalittici sulla scia del cambiamento climatico che sta condi­zionando profondamente il nostro pianeta. Ciò nonostante, questo articolo sostiene che il romanzo tende a privilegiare una modalità ottativa invece della catastrofe di massa tipica dell’eco-narrativa canonica. A tale fine, si analizza­no alcune strategie formali di empatia narrativa, come l’identificazione con i personaggi e la focalizzazione multipla, che favoriscono la partecipazione emotiva del lettore. Le manifestazioni della vulnerabilità che Clade traccia ri­velano profonde implicazioni empatiche, richiamando un’etica della cura che coinvolge il lettore sul piano affettivo.

Building Empathy and Intercultural Citizenship through a Virtual Exchange Project
L’articolo esplora possibilità di creare uno spazio che sviluppi l’empatia nell’insegnamento delle lingue e culture straniere. Si basa su studi sull’empa- tia (DeardoY 2006; Bloom 2016; Guntersdsorfer & Goulbeva 2018), sulle idee di competenza e cittadinanza interculturale (Byram 1997, 2008; Byram et al. 2017), e sull’idea di “terzo spazio” come teorizzata da Edward Soja (1996), e mette in evidenza l’importanza delle emozioni nell’educazione interculturale. Se consideriamo il fenomeno del cosiddetto “spatial turn” nella sua dimensio- ne pedagogica, la concettualizzazione proposta da Soja di un “terzo spazio” può essere connessa allo sviluppo di uno spazio di apprendimento alternativo per interazioni interlinguistiche e interculturali, ampliato e delineato da rela- zioni sociali, pianificato attraverso collaborazioni cross-culturali, e costruito attraverso scambi virtuali. Uno spazio che è costruito sulla base delle espe- rienze vissute di coloro che lo popolano può favorire l’empatia. L’autrice pre- senta in sintesi uno scambio virtuale di cittadinanza interculturale tra l’Italia e gli Stati Uniti, dove uno degli obiettivi principali è lo sviluppo dell’empatia e la verbalizzazione della comprensione emotiva da parte degli studenti.

We Are Going by Oodgeroo Noonuccal. Aboriginal Epos, Australian History, Universal Poetry
We Are Going di Oodgeroo Noonuccal esce per Jacaranda Press nel 1964 ed è la prima raccolta di poesie con autorialità aborigena mai pubblicata. Il testo è interpretabile sia come epos aborigeno che come documento di storia australiana, e in esso le storie dei singoli individui si intrecciano dolorosamente con la macrostoria delle politiche egemoniche bianche nei confronti degli indigeni. L’elaborazione poetica del recente passato traumatico, collettivo e soggettivo, diventa una forma di superamento del trauma stesso grazie all’evocazione di un passato molto più antico, quello della cultura indigena precedente all’invasione. Il seguente lavoro analizza le poesie di Oodgeroo in questa prospettiva, tenendo presente la loro specificità come testi artistici, letterari e poetici. L’esperienza di tradurre We Are Going per la sua prima edizione italiana (Oodgeroo 2013) è stata una via privilegiata di avvicinamento al testo e ai suoi significati.

‘To Inhabit in Tranquility’: Landscape, Vision and Empathy in Ford Madox Ford’s No Enemy
In No Enemy di Ford Madox Ford, la minaccia mortale rappresentata dalla guerra influisce sulle forme e sulla possibilità stessa di provare empatia. Dopo aver mostrato come Ford si inserisca nel dibattito coevo sulla Einfühlung, l’articolo approfondisce le riflessioni dell’autore sulle distorsioni subite dalla sua ‘immaginazione simpatetica’ e sull’angoscia per i territori mutilati dalla guerra. L’intento è di mostrare come le rare visioni surreali di paesaggi inviolati concedano a Ford di riconnettersi con i pensieri, le paure e i desideri più profondi dei suoi simili. I recenti studi di psicologia sui diversi livelli di empatia e sulla sua compromissione in situazioni di stress forniscono il quadro concettuale dell’analisi.
