- This paper examines four Italian biographical novels about Caravaggio from 1994 to 2012 that make part of two growing international phenomena– the global enthusiasm for Caravaggio’s art and the strong interest for biographical fiction. Caravaggio’s dramatic life and innovative art indeed offer a perfect combination for imaginative literary treatment. After a brief reflection on the nature of the hybrid genre that combines biography and fiction, and the reasons for its recent popularity, the focus shifts to the biographical novels about artists, a sub-genre that exhibits a number of peculiarities based on the interplay of text and image. The Italian novels about Caravaggio in this study are a relatively late contribution to a worldwide literary trend, but contain some interesting innovations. The last two novels in the sample contain reproductions of the artist’s work, thereby transforming the novel into a multimedial means of communication. Itis argued that this leads to a number of consequences for the novel: the disappearance of traditional ecphrasis, the possibility of being more specific about details and the creation of new plots based on the interaction between text and image. On the other hand, the novels display a preoccupation with the issue of credibility inherent to the genre of biographical novel itself. The analysis concerns the narrative strategies of the authors that include the frequent use of paratexts, the combination of narrative and descriptive parts and the different ways of choosing the narrator in charge of the story.

Il realismo di Matilde Serao tra la passione del gioco e "l'isola di cuccagna"
- 2011

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The problem of lottery gambling has been treated continually by Matilde Serao both in her journalistic and narratives works, especially in connection with the Neapolitan identity. In this article I analyze how her major novel, Il paese di cuccagna, depicts the lottery as a locus of interaction between the modernity of a state institution and the archaic Mediterranean identity, or between the reality of a phenomenon governed by laws of probability and the collective imagination dominated by faith in miracle. The narrative representation of this “malady of the spirit”, as it was defined by Serao, can sometimes go beyond the realist conventions and be submitted to didactic purposes. At the same time, the collective imagination staged by the author seems to harbour a mythical substratum, a miraculous land of Cockaigne, that can be read as a realization of the pleasure principle at the expense of the reality principle. This utopian state of abundance represented by Serao, can be identified in one of her short stories, Trenta per cento, in which the whole city of Naples is transformed in “an immense Gargantuan feast” for a short while.

- In recent years, the art of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610)has been the subject of growing number of publication, both scientific and narrative. The current article examines a sample of literary texts in order to identify the crucial elements in the construction of the complicated figure of the artist in the Italian contest.The analysis of the texts allows to conclude that the image of Caravaggio and his art have gradually changed, while a number of elements remained the same. Caravaggio’s contemporary poets dedicated lyrics mostly to the paintings belonging to the first half ofhis career, while for later generations, the artist’s name is connectedto the realism and the dramatic use of light of his religious subjects. Caravaggio’s oeuvre was rediscovered during the twentieth century and modern writers like Gadda, Pasolini and Volponi were able to recognize themselves in the realistic, disturbing and carnal art of the early seventeenth century which was also a period of crisis and profound social and cultural change. Later, the writers get more interestedin the dramatic and adventurous life of the artist, discussed vividly by his early biographers. The selection of texts analyzed in a more extensive way include works by Andrea Camilleri, Dario Fo,Ermanno Rea, Francesco Fioretti and Pino Di Silvestro.The modernity of Caravaggio’s art has brought some authors to consider him as our contemporary and to emphasize the parallels between the Italian society of his time and contemporary Italy. The artist is seen as a symbol of civil courage and the decline of a great epoch in the history of Italian culture. The historic and social continuity asserted on the thematic level is reflected on the textual level by recovering of the old Italian sources and stylization of the language. Nonetheless, Caravaggio remains an uncomfortable symbol of the Italian genius, because some elements of his personal life indicate clearly the gap that separates his time from ours.

Il soggetto corporale nella narrativa di Paolo Volponi
- 2009
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis offers an interpretation of three novels by Paolo Volponi (1924-1994), focusing on the representation of the human subject. The analysis shows how this representation is centred on the experiences of the body, which becomes the true subject that acts and explores the world. It is argued that this narrative strategy allows the author to develop an original account of the modern condition and contributes to the innovative character of his writing. The method employed in the study shows how the corporal subject determines the plot, shapes the text through representation of perception, and carries central narrative meanings, and is thus crucial on all the levels of the novel’s organization. In Memoriale, the problematic encounter of the subject with the new industrial reality is analyzed by focusing on the malady of the protagonist who is trapped between the countryside and the factory. This ambivalent position is seen as emblematic for the corporal subject in Volponi’s novels that is bound to nature and is a participant of history. The body emerges not only as decisive in the plot but also as the main object of writing and interpretation for the protagonist and the medical institutions. In Corporale, the protagonist loses contact with the surrounding reality; the only certainty that can be offered is in the suffering or euphoric body. The novel becomes a space where the protagonist rebels against his own historic condition and challenges the limits of the thinkable and of language, approaching the absurd. This subversion of reason is examined as a case of carnivalesque writing in Bakhtin’s sense, while the subject’s frequent states of extreme crisis are read in the light of Kristeva’s notion of abjection. The reading of Il sipario ducale is structured around the concept of chronotope, defined as a spatio-temporal interconnectedness. Each of the two chronotopes of the novel determines a particular type of corporal subject, while the ending is interpreted as the impossibility of tranquil existence outside the turmoil of history. This interpretation of Volponi’s narrative shows how by staging a subject whose body is central in the process of knowing and operating in the world, fiction both changes its character and contributes to a deeper understanding of modernity and its paradoxes.

Italian Adult Comics in Sweden in the 1980s and 1990s
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Moderna Språk. - Uppsala. - 0026-8577. ; 110, s. 149-167

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The object of this paper is to present and analyze the main features of the extensive publication of Italian adult comics in Sweden in the 1980s and 1990s. Bibliographic and quantitative research has been conducted in order to supplement the bibliography of the Italian literature in Sweden compiled by Schwartz (2013). The results allowed for the conclusion that comics constituted a very significant share of translated Italian literature of the period, and the importance of individual publishers was higher in this segment. Making use of key concepts of Bourdieu, it is shown that adult comics in Sweden were assigned low cultural value compared to Italy. After a brief comparison of the situation of adult comics in both countries, regarding the role of mediators and the issue of cultural legitimacy, it is argued that this cultural transfer eventually led to a clash that culminated with the Freedom of the Press trial against Pox magazine. For a number of reasons, adult comics in Sweden have never achieved a sufficient level of cultural legitimacy and have remained on the margins of the cultural scene. The difficulties faced by Italian adult comics in Sweden are illustrated by a brief analysis of the reception of An Author in Search of Six Characters by Milo Manara (1992).
