Caserta Cornellgrad 0058F 10 An Alternative Mediterranean Space. Narratives of Movement and Resistance Across Italy and North Africa A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Silvia Caserta December 2017 © 2017 Silvia Caserta An Alternative Mediterranean Space. Narratives of Movement and Resistance Across Italy and North Africa Silvia Caserta, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2017 Through a comparative analysis of contemporary literary and visual narratives that dialogue across the Mediterranean Sea, in this dissertation I apply the category of narrative to the field of Mediterranean Studies. Working across different genres, different media, and different languages, I explore the possible configuration of a Mediterranean narrative that would take into account the multiple articulations of a real and imaginary Mediterranean space. I focus on alternative narratives of migration, of the interconnection between land and sea, and of the desert, through a comparative reading of Italian literary works by Paolo Rumiz and Lina Prosa, Libyan novels by Ibrahim Al-Koni and Razan Moghrabi, video installations by the French- Algerian artist Zineb Sedira, and a short story by the Lebanese writer Emily Nasrallah. How can these narratives of and in the Mediterranean help us understand the ways in which the contemporary Mediterranean is experienced, and the role it might have to play within the current dynamics of globalization? In this dissertation, I argue that the two dimensions of living and narrating the Mediterranean cannot be separated, but that they are, rather, intimately interconnected. I show that Mediterranean narratives can provide alternative ways of thinking, conceptualizing, and ultimately experiencing the Mediterranean, both within its permeable and porous boundaries and beyond that, in the space of the global world. The narratives I put in dialogue with each other counteract a mainstream narrative of the Mediterranean as backward and immobile, when compared to Northern Europe, and as a conflict zone and a barrier, which separates Europe from the threatening Arab world. Thus, these narratives all respond to Iain Chamber’s call for “dissonant” narratives, whose “disturbing” voices are able to create the Mediterranean as a postcolonial space of agency and resistance, where alternative modernities can also be imagined. The Mediterranean that ultimately emerges from the interaction of its narrative voices is a dialogic space of differences that, while retaining their own specificities, “encounter” each other without necessarily melding. In the dichotomy that globalization proclaims between assimilation and proliferation of difference, alternative Mediterranean narratives occupy, and create, an in-between space, suspended in its unresolved, and potential, condition of liminality. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Silvia Caserta holds a B.A. degree in Classics and an M.A. degree in Italian Literature and Culture from the University of Pisa, Italy. Before coming to Cornell, Silvia obtained her first Ph.D. in 2013 from the University of Macerata, Italy, with a dissertation focused on Italian colonial travel writing. iii To Sofia and Lino iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Karen Pinkus. This work would not have been possible without her insightful comments and suggestions, her continuous support, and her intellectual and human generosity. I am extremely grateful to the other members of my dissertation committee, Professors Timothy Campbell, Naminata Diabate, and Natalie Melas, for their constant guidance and advice, and for the intellectual curiosity that their courses and the conversations I have had with them always stimulated. I wish to extend a special thanks to Professor Loredana Polezzi, whose sharp suggestions and constant encouragement have played a key role in the process of completing this work. A special thanks goes to Cornell University for supporting my dissertation project with a Sage Fellowship, which allowed me to visit the MuCEM, while also granting me time to focus on the project itself. I also wish to thank the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies, whose Research Travel Grant allowed me to spend time in Jordan in order to improve my command of Arabic language. Finally, I am deeply grateful to Julie Primon, who volunteered to proofread countless pages of this work, and whose help and generosity were crucial in the final stretch of this endeavor. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 The Mediterranean as a Field of Study 1 A Narrative Perspective on the Contemporary Mediterranean 5 Italy and the Mediterranean 7 Mediterranean Narratives 10 Chapter One – Narrative of Migration 17 Narratives and Counter-Narratives of Migration 20 I.

Qui pure - penso - è Mediterraneo. E il mio pensiero all’azzurro s’inebria di quel nome. (Here too - I think - it’s the Mediterranean. And my thoughts in the blue become inebriated with that name.) Umberto Saba, Ebbri Canti The Mediterranean as a Field of Study The geopolitical space of the Mediterranean that we commonly refer to, and that is at the forefront of contemporary discourse concerning the urgent issues of migration, terrorism, and integration, is a geo-historical and cultural construction that arises from European colonialisms and the processes of decolonization. In his study of the meaning of a geopolitical and socio- cultural definition of the Mediterranean, Salvatore Bono highlights how the first clear acknowledgment of the Mediterranean as a unitary entity dates back to Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign. It is at that time, as the Italian historian points out, that the Mediterranean becomes a site of confrontation, and clash, among the various European nation-states.1 In this context, the conflicts generated by the European scramble for Africa rapidly sweep away Michel Chevalier’s project of a Mediterranean economic and cultural “system,” which would promote peace and cooperation among the different Mediterranean countries.2 And yet, the colonial ideology of Italy in particular, but also of France and Spain to a certain extent, rests upon, and reinforces, the idea of a supposed unity of the Mediterranean, which each country’s colonial efforts were intended to reassert. In the aftermath of the Second World War, Fernand Braudel’s fundamental study of the Mediterranean from the perspective of its historical longue durée 1 See Bono 2008. 2 See Michel Chevalier. Le système de la Méditerranée (1832) 1 significantly contributes to reaffirming, and circulating, a conception of the Mediterranean as a unified space.3 However, the Mediterranean as a distinct field of study develops only after the end of the Second World War, at a time in which, in the geopolitical context of the Cold War, Anglo- American anthropology looks at the area with increasing interest and curiosity.4 As the Italian scholar Adelina Miranda remarks in her Introduction to a collection of essays on Mediterranean anthropology, the Mediterranean solicits an anthropological perspective as a “spazio di ‘coesistenze contraddittorie:’ area colonizzatrice e colonizzata; area da conquistare o da convertire; area da attraversare e da conoscere; area di invenzione e di adattamento.”5 (Miranda 10) At the same time, Anglo-American anthropology seems to largely, and rapidly, gloss over Mediterranean internal contradictions, through the insistence on supposed “common values” that Mediterranean countries would share, which are different and opposed to those of Northern Europe.6 The risk of “Mediterraneism,” a term coined by the anthropologist Michael Herzfeld in 2005 to describe the doctrine that assigns common inherent and distinctive characteristics to the cultures of the Mediterranean, are already implicit in this post-war approach to the study of the area. In the context of the gradual shift − in terms of disciplinary boundaries − from Area Studies to Global

Teatro em silencio: onde foi parar o Jubileu de Amores, de Gil Vicente (c.1465 - c.1536)? Denise Rocha1 Resumo O texto propõe uma revisitação da inquisição literária e da censura teatral no século XVI em Portugal, em uma época de fausto e cultura, promovida pelos gigantescos lucros do colonialismo, que proporcionou à corte lisboeta a presença de Gil Vicente (c.1465- c.1536): Ourives, dramaturgo, encenador e artista, ele escreveu, desde o ano de 1502 até 1536, cerca de 45 peças teatrais, algumas das quais foram silenciadas pela máquina de censura do Tribunal do Santo Ofício, instalado em 1536. O objetivo do artigo é delinear, principalmente, um momento histórico que selou o destino de uma obra vicentina: Em Bruxelas (Flandres), no dia 21 de dezembro de 1531, foi apresentado um auto de Gil Vicente, Jubileu de Amores, por ocasião das comemorações do nascimento de D. Manuel, filho do rei D. João III. Presente estava o cardeal Girolano Aleandro, diplomata enviado pelo Papa para persuadir o imperador Carlos V a intervir contra a heresia alemã, desencadeada por Martim Luther.

  • Department History – Ted Lyon
    (a fairly necessary) INTRODUCTION – THE STORY OF SPANISH & PORTUGUESE AT BYU The Department of Spanish and Portuguese first saw the light of day in June of 1967, created from the large Department of Languages in the College of Humanities. Yet foreign languages (German, Latin) had been taught since the creation of Brigham Young Academy in 1876; the first Spanish classes were taught in 1883/1884. The first Portuguese class was offered by Gerrit de Jong, in 1942. I have used many sources to complete the story of Spanish and Portuguese at Brigham Young University. In 1972 an emeritus professor of French, Harold W. Lee, wrote a “History of the Department of Languages” at BYU. His brief account deals with foreign language teaching from 1876 to the early 1970s. A slightly abbreviated version of Lee’s history is available in Bruce B. Clark’s “The BYU College of Humanities: 1965 – 1981. The First Sixteen Years.” I have used a few bits of this fine, detailed, three- volume history which deal with the Department of Spanish and Portuguese. I have read and used the papers and history of Gerrit de Jong. The University Archives have provided curriculum vitae files of all faculty to 1989. In 1990 chair Merlin Forster asked emeritus professor L. Sid Shreeve to complete a history of the department. Sid accumulated hundreds of pages of information and interviews from retired and current faculty members but was not able to complete the anticipated history. I have used some of the documents he gathered to write the present history. Further, since the creation of the department, the secretaries have kept a very detailed annual statistical and historical report.

São Paulo 2010 Resumo : A partir de uma perspectiva que valoriza a teoria dos gêneros literários, o presente trabalho busca verificar como se processam, na obra da escritora brasileira Hilda Hilst, as relações entre lírica, teatro e prosa narrativa. Seu principal parâmetro teórico é o trabalho de Peter Szondi: Teoria do drama moderno , livro em que o crítico alemão aborda a mistura de gêneros literários como tentativas de superar, na criação estética, problemas objetivos relacionados à situação histórica de determinada forma literária. No caso de Hilda Hilst, serão analisadas como as incursões da autora no teatro e na prosa narrativa funcionam como resposta problemática à recepção de uma lírica inicialmente balizada pelos ideais poéticos da Geração de 45.
