DE INVENTIO SARDINIÆ THE IDEA OF SARDINIA IN HISTORICAL AND TRAVEL WRITING 1780-1955 Sandro Corso PhD – College of Humanities and Social Sciences THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH 2010 Edinburgh, 27th December, 2010 This is to declare that the thesis herewith bound, being my own work, has been composed by myself and has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. Sandro Corso 2 ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the way the national identity of Sardinia was perceived in travel literature – and more particularly the way writing about travel experiences contributed to shape identity, both of the visited place and of its inhabitants. The thesis draws from different sources (travelogues, belles lettres, history books); the work reflects therefore a rather eclectic panorama. For obvious reasons the research field has been circumscribed in time and space, but , but aims at drawing general conclusions, i.e. assessing whether national identities are the result of an endogenous process, or rather are influenced by exogenous elaborations. As regards geographical delimitation we restricted our inquiry to the island of Sardinia for two main reasons: i) it is isolated not only geographically but also culturally and has never been a conventional destination along the Grand Tour routes; ii) up to the first half of the twentieth century the island had a reputation for being an “unknown” or “forgotten” land. As regards time, the choice was to concentrate on modern times, that is approximately between the second half of the 18th and the first half of the 20th century. Thereafter, the coming of the post-industrial society, mass tourism, faster means of transport, the standardizing effect of globalization changed the idea of travelling, leading some to argue that the birth of post-modern tourism implied the end of travel, or at least a totally new attitude towards travel, that has been defined post-modern. When D.H. Lawrence wrote that Sardinia had “no history, no date, no race, no offering” he was drawing from a consolidated image of the island as an unknown land rather than on its millenary history. The Nobel laureate Grazia Deledda challenged this idea in the first quarter of the 20th century by countering the codes elaborated in the island – namely the language code, the common law and the rustic life and passions – to the civilized way of life of industrialized European societies. The thesis concludes that the making of the identity of Sardinia was the result of the interaction between these two views. 3 CONTENTS Introduction The corpus: general criteria…………………………………… 5 Defining travel…………………………………….......…………. 7 Understanding travel in literature……………………..…………. 9 Travel in literature: the quest for identity……………..…………. 15 Questions of method…………………………………..…………. 23 Chapter 1 How Sardinia became “unknown” to Europe………………… 30 1.1.

Although it may appear obvious to all of us that we know what we are like, and the general characteristics of the people around us – in psychological terms as well as in terms of nationality – the perception of (national) identity varies considerably with the changing of an observer’s point of view – both in terms of personal and cultural attitudes. As a provisional definition, identity appears to be the result of a complex dynamic between the inner characteristics of a person and the more or less stereotyped image others have of him/her. The two perceived identities may be strikingly different. This work studies the perception of (national) identity through travel literature, and in particular the way in which writing about travel experiences contributed to shape identity, both of the visited place and of its inhabitants; and aims at assessing whether national identities are the result of an endogenous process, or rather are influenced by exogenous elaborations. As the subject of the search appeared from the very beginning too wide, the research field had obviously to be circumscribed in time and space, and the study perspective needed to be delimitated and clarified. As regards geographical delimitation we decided to circumscribe our inquiry to the island of Sardinia, for two main reasons: i) it is isolated not only geographically but also culturally, it has never been a conventional destination along the Grand Tour routes, and although in modern times has been part of Italy, it has preserved a specific language and cultural identity; ii) up to the first half of the twentieth century the island had a reputation for being an “unknown” or “forgotten” land. For these reasons it was thought to be an ideal object of study – bearing in mind throughout that the conclusions would be of a more general interest and would allow us to give them more general significance. 5 As regards time, the choice was to concentrate on modern times, that is between the second half of the eighteenth century – when, by general consent, travelling south following the Grand Tour itineraries had became a radically different phenomenon in Western culture because of the wider presence of the middle-classes and women – and the first half of the twentieth century. Thereafter, the coming of the post- industrial society, mass tourism, faster means of transport, and finally the standardizing effect of globalization changed the idea of travelling. Some argue that the coming of faster means of transport and globalized mass tourism led to the death of travel, or at least to a totally new attitude towards travel – I accept Kaplan’s [1996] view that travel, too, is to be considered post-modern. The post-modern traveller (an example could be Bruce Chatwin’s The Songlines, 1987) is likely to experience that even the remotest corners of the world have been contaminated by Western civilization. Quite obviously, the concept of ‘travel’ varies considerably depending on the culture and time in which it is contextualized; it should therefore be made clear that our understanding of the word ‘travel’ will forcibly be Eurocentric, that is charged with the meanings the word has acquired within the spatial and cultural horizon of Europe. Even before I started reading systematically we had to face a fundamental problem: the choice of our corpus. The problem obviously comes from the variety of definitions given to travel literature, which depending on the scholar can be a synonym of travel writing

New gravity and magnetic stations, distributed over the northern part of the area (Campidano of Oristano), have been measured lO complement already published data for tbe central-southern part of the graben. Deep dipole- dipole geoelectrical soundings have also been performed along two profiles perpendicular lO the strike of the graben. The geological interpretation of the geophysical data allows us to conclude that no shallow. exploitable geothermal reservoir exists in the survey area.

  • AATI@Cagliari June 20 – 25, 2018 Accepted Sessions
    AATI@Cagliari June 20 – 25, 2018 Accepted Sessions Session 57: I percorsi e i risultati della filologia deleddiana: verso una edizione nazionale dell’opera omnia. Organizzatore: Dino Manca (Università degli Studi di Sassari), ([email protected]). OBIETTIVI: La sessione proposta vuole essere un omaggio alla personalità e all’opera di Grazia Deledda. Tramite l’operazione artistica della scrittrice nuorese, culminata col premio Nobel (prima donna in Italia e seconda al mondo), la Sardegna è entrata, infatti, a far parte dell’immaginario europeo. Oggi gli studiosi hanno a loro disposizione una buona bibliografia che, soprattutto negli ultimi anni, ha – grazie agli apporti della filologia, della linguistica e dell’antropologia – aggiornato, se non riveduto e corretto, una vecchia vulgata critica che non di rado ha relegato la sua figura in ambiti esclusivamente nazionali se non addirittura regionali. Finalmente si può parlare, alla luce delle ultime ricerche, di una grande scrittrice europea di respiro universale. I nuovi studi, infatti, dimostrano (attraverso le inedite indagini sulla produzione, restituzione, circolazione e fruizione del testo) come e quanto la sua opera abbia nel Novecento rivestito un ruolo importante in un contesto internazionale, grazie alla sua capacità di suscitare nel lettore europeo (e non solo italiano) un bisogno di autenticità, grazie all’appassionata rappresentazione dell’«automodello» sardo e alla proiezione simbolica del suo universale concreto. Tuttavia, lo stato dell’arte evidenzia ancora importanti lacune nelle ricerche. Finora, ad esempio, si è dedicata scarsa attenzione alle relazioni tra la produzione precoce e i romanzi della maturità. Ci si dovrà sempre più applicare sulle questioni filologiche e linguistiche che, misurando l’impatto della variazione sulle diverse redazioni della medesima opera a distanza di decenni, potrebbero aiutarci a ricostruire porzioni importanti del quadro movimentato della stagione durante la quale la lingua degli italiani si andava assestando.

  • Abstracts 1A
    Transnational Italies: Mobility, Subjectivities and Modern Italian Cultures Conference, The British School at Rome, 26-28 October 2016-10-24 ABSTRACTS 1A - “Moving Borders, Moving Identities” Panel submitted by Eden McLean, Borut Klabjan, Vanni D’Alessio, Maura Hametz Chair: Loredana Polezzi Panel Overview Transnational studies have traditionally concerned themselves with the movement of goods, ideas, and people along and across borders, but not with the movement of the borders themselves. This panel seeks to position the movement of borders as a vital component of any conversation about what it means to be transnational, particularly in Europe’s era of the world wars. The four papers proposed here use case studies from the multiethnic—and transnational— borderlands of northeastern Italy (Trieste, Fiume/Rijeka, the Carso, and Alto Adige) to explore questions of Italian identity, citizenship, and state formation in the first half of the twentieth century. In the years directly following World War I, Italy sought to “redeem” the Italian identity of the populations living in the territories it acquired from the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. As the following papers will show, it sought to do so by imposing an official definition of Italian-ness on resident populations through the simultaneous processes of modifying language, education, and public space and subverting the presence of alternative national or ethnic affiliations. All of these efforts worked not only to transform the cultural landscape of these borderlands, but also to establish the very definition of what it meant to be Italian, at least on the edges of the Italian nation-state. Borut Klabjan, European University Institute and University of Primorska [email protected] “’Italianize it!’ National Homogenization in Interwar Trieste/Trst/Triest” After World War I, newly acquired borderlands played a key role in the national symbolism of post-war Italy.

  • Attitudes Towards the Safeguarding of Minority Languages and Dialects in Modern Italy
    ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE SAFEGUARDING OF MINORITY LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS IN MODERN ITALY: The Cases of Sardinia and Sicily Maria Chiara La Sala Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds Department of Italian September 2004 This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to assess attitudes of speakers towards their local or regional variety. Research in the field of sociolinguistics has shown that factors such as gender, age, place of residence, and social status affect linguistic behaviour and perception of local and regional varieties. This thesis consists of three main parts. In the first part the concept of language, minority language, and dialect is discussed; in the second part the official position towards local or regional varieties in Europe and in Italy is considered; in the third part attitudes of speakers towards actions aimed at safeguarding their local or regional varieties are analyzed. The conclusion offers a comparison of the results of the surveys and a discussion on how things may develop in the future. This thesis is carried out within the framework of the discipline of sociolinguistics. ii DEDICATION Ai miei figli Youcef e Amil che mi hanno distolto

  • The Differential Object Marking of the Arborense Dialect of Sardinian in Language Contact Setting
    journal of language contact 13 (2020) 17-56 brill.com/jlc The Differential Object Marking of The Arborense Dialect of Sardinian in Language Contact Setting Daniela Boeddu Department of Classical Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of the Basque Country, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain [email protected] Abstract This paper focuses on the Arborense Differential Object Marking (dom) system, which in line with the typical Sardinian dom system marks the object noun phrases character- ized by a high degree of animacy and specificity with the preposition a. This is why the Sardinian dom is also called prepositional accusative. Authors dealing with other Sar- dinian dialects agree in identifying three domains of distribution of the phenomenon: with personal pronouns and personal names the use of the preposition is mandatory; with inanimate common nouns it is excluded; with common nouns referring animate beings, strong variability occurs. On the basis of an oral corpus of contemporary Arbo- rense, it can be stated that the area of mandatory use of dom is restricted in this dialect and that the optionality area turns out to be more extensive than assumed in tradi- tional descriptions of this Sardinian phenomenon. Since all the Arborense speakers of the oral corpus are bilingual (Sardinian-Italian), the data reflect the situation of dom in a contact setting scenario where Sardinian and both Standard and Regional Italian in- teract. According to Putzu (2005) and Blasco Ferrer and Ingrassia (2010), the extensive area of optionality for the use of the Sardinian dom should be the result of the influence of Standard Italian. However, two facts must be considered that make this idea ques- tionable: first, in the language contact scenario of Modern Sardinian not only Standard Italian but also Regional Italian (with a widespread use of the dom) play a role; second, the synchronic variation observed in contemporary Arborense replicates the same variation which characterizes historical data from texts of the 12th–19th centuries.

This collection consists of material received from a Wrexham solicitor, relating to his personal and business affairs, and to some of his clients. The bulk of S.P.Bevon's personal papers consist of correspondence about properties he owned in Wrexham, and reports and prospectuses of various mining and plantation concerns abroad, in which he owned shares. There is no autobiographical material. The rest of the collection has been sorted into sequence by parish, with separate sections for court cases and election papers, as there is no large quantity of material relating to an individual client. Perhaps the most interesting item is a photograph showing the range of products made by Ewloe Potteries, Buckley, in the 1920s. Other interesting subjects include Ffos-y-go Colliery, Gwersyllt, 1901-4; the appointment of a receiver for the New Llangollen Slate and Slab Company. 1898-1903; prospectus of Broughton Hall Iron Company, c.1890; complaints about conditions at Croesnewydd Military Hospital, Wrexham, 1917; and a dispute over building costs of a new church at Brynteg, 1894-5. There are also some files of papers relating to S.P.Bevon's clients, 1920-40, in the Wrexham Library collection.
