  • Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives Between Italy and Eastern Europe
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Cartographies of Estrangement: Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives between Italy and Eastern Europe A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Renata Redford 2016 © Copyright by Renata Redford 2016 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Cartographies of Estrangement: Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives between Italy and Eastern Europe by Renata Redford Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Lucia Re, Chair This dissertation investigates a vital body of women’s writing in Italian about the estranging effects of migration in order to emphasize the articulation of a literary discourse that undermines conventional depictions of the Eastern European female migrant. I provide evidence of the emergence in their work of a distinctly transnational approach to literary writing (narrative in particular), founded on a creative way of addressing questions of estrangement, the body, and memory. I consider the work of three authors, who have yet to be fully acknowledged in the Italian literary landscape: the Italophone writers Jarmila Očkayová (1955-present; Italo- Slovakian) and Ingrid Beatrice Coman (1971-present; Italo-Romanian living in Malta), and Marisa Madieri (1938-1996; Italo-Hungarian from Istria), whose native language was Italian. My analysis focuses on the stylistic, thematic, and structural elements that Očkayová, Coman and Madieri employ to engage with and

  • Victimhood Through a Creaturely Lens: Creatureliness, Trauma and Victimhood in Austrian and Italian Literature After 1945
    Victimhood through a Creaturely Lens: Creatureliness, Trauma and Victimhood in Austrian and Italian Literature after 1945. Alexandra Julie Hills University College London PhD Thesis ‘ I, ALEXANDRA HILLS confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis.' 1 Acknowledgements I am extremely grateful to the Arts and Humanities Research Council for their continual support of my research thanks to a Research Preparation Award in 2009 and a Collaborative Doctoral Award in the context of the “Reverberations of War” project under the direction of Prof Mary Fulbrook and Dr Stephanie Bird. I also wish to thank the UCL Graduate School for funding two research trips to Vienna and Florence where I conducted archival and institutional research, providing essential material for the body of the thesis. I would like to acknowledge the libraries and archives which hosted me and aided me in my research: particularly, the Literaturarchiv der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek, Dr. Volker Kaukoreit at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek who facilitated access to manuscript material, the Wienbibliothek, the Centro Internazionale di Studi Primo Levi in Turin and Florence’s Biblioteca Nazionale. For their constant patience, resourcefulness and assistance, I wish to express my gratitude to staff at UCL and the British libraries, without whom my research would not have been possible. My utmost thanks go to my supervisors, Dr Stephanie Bird and Dr Florian Mussgnug, for their encouragement and enthusiasm throughout my research.

  • Giovanni Anfuso ALDO NICOLAJ
    in Regia di Giovanni Anfuso ALDO NICOLAJ Aldo Nicolaj (Fossano, 15 marzo 1920 – Orbetello, 5 luglio 2004) La sua precoce passione per il teatro viene premiata n dall’inizio con importanti riconoscimenti nazionali (Pre- mio Sipario Bompiani, Premio IDI – Piccolo Teatro di Milano, Premio Pescara, Premio Riccione…) ma i primi testi, socialmente impegnati, sono spesso bloccati dalla censura, come nel caso de Il soldato Piccicò, con Gian Maria Volontè al Mercadante di Napoli, dove fu sospesa la prima e lo spettacolo andò in scena solo dopo cospicui tagli ai dialoghi e la trasformazione dei nomi dei personaggi da italiani in slavi. Per aggirare questo ostacolo che penalizza pesantemente il suo lavoro, Nicolaj inizia progressivamente a prediligere l’ironia e l’umorismo per portare avanti liberamente la sua acuta critica della società. Probabilmente, proprio questa scelta gli permetterà il grande successo in Russia e nei paesi dell’Europa dell’Est, dove all’epoca la censura era ancora più forte. Su richiesta di Paola Borboni scrive il monologo, Emilia, in pace e in guerra, il primo di una lunga serie, sia per personaggi femminili che maschili. Rappresentato in Italia dalle compagnie più note negli anni ’50 e ’60 del secolo scorso, il teatro di Nicolaj inizia rapidamente una orida carriera internazionale. Numerosi i testi andati in scena in altri paesi prima che in Italia, tra questi Il mondo d’acqua, La cipolla, Il pendolo, Nero come un cana - rino, Ex, Armonia in nero, Non era la Quinta, era la Nona, La prova generale, La signora e il funzionario, Due gatte randagie, Di che sesso sei?, Poco più, poco meno… Le sue commedie sono state recitate in quasi tutto il mondo e tradotte in 27 lingue.
