  • Preface Introduction
    Notes Preface 1. Luisa Pretolani's video, Things I Take, which deals with Indian women im­ migrants, speaks to the experience of emigration in ways that transcend the specific experience of a single ethnic group. The issues the women who appear in this video address relate to the significance of and repercussions on one's sense of self of the separation from one's homeland. 2. See Gilbert and Gubar's feminist classic The Madwoman in the Attic (1979), in which they ofTer adefinition of anxiety of authorship, which they jux­ tapose to the more masculine "anxiety of influence" (50), the title subject of Harold Bloom's study. 3. I began to study Italian American literature and minority literatures not in graduate school, but in the years following my graduation, in the early 1990s. 4. My first actual encounter with Italian American literature actually oc­ curred in 1983, at a conference on Italian American Studies of the AISNA (ItalianAssociation ofNorthAmerican Studies).The conference was orga­ nized by my then professor of American Literature at the University of Catania, Maria Vittoria D'Amico. I was one of a handful of undergraduate students involved in the organization of the conference. There, I met sev­ eral American professors, includingJohn Paul Russo, who would later ofTer me a teaching assistantship at the University of Miami. 5. Giunta, "The Quest forTrue Love: Nancy Savoca's Domestic Film Comedy." 6. In 1987, DeSalvo had also published-in England-Casting Off, an outra­ geous novel about Italian American women and adultery. 7. Oddly enough, much like other women and minority writers who, once they started looking, found literary sisters and ancestors, I, too, would later discover two other writers in my family, Giuseppe Minasola and Laura Emanuelita Minasola.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • ITALIAN AMERICAN FEMALE AUTOBIOGRAPHY by Marta Piroli the Central Point of This Thesis Is the Recogniti
    ABSTRACT FINDING VOICES: ITALIAN AMERICAN FEMALE AUTOBIOGRAPHY by Marta Piroli The central point of this thesis is the recognition and exploration of the tradition of female Italian American autobiography, focusing on the choice of some Italian American writers to camouflage their Italian background and change their name. The thesis consists of four chapters. The first chapter explores a brief history of Italian migration in America during the nineteenth century. The second part of this chapter provides a literary discussion about the most important autobiographical theories over the twentieth century, focusing on the female self. The second chapter explores the role of Italian woman in Italian culture, and the first steps of emancipation of the children of the Italian immigrants. The third chapter will offer an approach to autobiography as a genre for expressing one’s self. The final chapter provides an analysis of significant Italian American women writers and their personal search for identity.

  • Storie Di Nuovi Esili: Il Richiamo Di Demetra in Barbara Grizzuti Harrison E Maria Laurino
    STORIE DI NUOVI ESILI: IL RICHIAMO DI DEMETRA IN BARBARA GRIZZUTI HARRISON E MARIA LAURINO Daniela Ciani Forza* Sono stata veramente dispiaciuta quando so- no tornata in Italia alcuni anni fa […]. Senti- vo questa forza che mi attirava, e poi, quando sono tornata in Italia, sono stata trattata da straniera, e questo è stato come uno schiaffo in faccia (Baldassar 14) Con questo intervento vorrei affrontare un tema ancora poco dibattuto dalla critica letteraria contemporanea: il significato del ‘viaggio di ritorno’ nell’ambi- to delle esperienze migratorie. Mi riferisco ai racconti delle visite che l’emigran- te o la sua famiglia compiono al paese d’origine, dopo aver trascorso lunghi periodi in terre lontane. Da questi scritti sovente emerge un rinnovato senso di disorientamento, strettamente connesso alla perdita di familiarità con il conte- sto di provenienza. Un luogo a lungo identificato, e sognato, come riferimento di certezze affettive e identitarie, ma successivamente rivelatosi elusivo. I numerosi studi, condotti sinora nell’ambito di tale letteratura, si sofferma- no perlopiù sulle diverse riflessioni emerse nel paese straniero. Totalmente vincolate ai concetti di ‘lontananza’, ‘distanza’, ‘separazione’ – ‘esilio’–, esse rivelano l’angoscia che comporta l’inserimento nella nuova realtà sconosciuta, estranea al nuovo arrivato sotto tutti i punti di vista – ambientale, sociale e ideologico. In tal modo, drammatizzano e rallentano l’adeguamento alle nuove condizioni di vita. In tema di distacco dal proprio passato, anche il ‘viaggio di ritorno’ può essere interpretato come un’ulteriore ‘prova’ esistenziale, in quanto scatena forze dinamiche e contraddittorie. Dopo l’approdo in situazioni ambientali * Università di Ca’ Foscari Venezia.

  • The Emerging Canon of Italian-American Literature RSA Journal 20-21/2010-2011
    Forum The Emerging Canon of Italian-American Literature RSA Journal 20-21/2010-2011 Leonardo Buonomo and John Paul Russo Introduction This forum sets forth diverse approaches to the formation of an Italian-American canon, without reaching any definitive conclusions. A few caveats: at present it might be more accurate to speak of a collection of writings rather than a canon, hence the qualifier “emerging.” Samuel Johnson once proposed a test for determining a canonical author: “length of duration and continuance of esteem” (190). It takes generations to form a literary canon. A productive debate on the formation of the Italian-American canon traces only to 1993 when Italian- American writers and critics reacted to Gay Talese’s explosive, front-page article “Where Are the Italian-American Novelists?” in the New York Times Book Review. Another caveat: since writers cannot be categorized solely by ethnicity, an Italian- American focus should be taken as one among many foci, more productive with some texts than others, more appropriate in examining DeLillo’s Underworld than his Point Omega. Moreover, any discussion of a canon of Italian-American literature proceeds without the benefit of a sufficiently large body of criticism adequate to the effort. Though Rose Basile Green’s pioneering Italian-American Novel came out in 1974, Italian-American poetry has not yet received a single comprehensive study (some individual poets have received biographical and monographic attention, e.g. Ciardi, Gioia). The major literary institutions are relatively recent, the American Italian Historical Association was founded only in 1966; the John D. Calandra Italian-American Institute, 1990; the Italian- American Writers Association, 1991.

  • Upper-Division Classes Spring 2020
    UPPER-DIVISION CLASSES SPRING 2020 BARUCH COLLEGE - ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Naked English This course will focus on English grammar--the form, variety, English 3001 and extraordinary possibilities of the English sentence, from the Prof. F. Cioffi simple to the advanced. This course will examine how Winter session sentences are put together, how they work, and how they carry power to persuade an audience and effect change. The course will discuss issues of correctness, grammaticality, common usage, and formal writing, and will help students generate correct, sophisticated, audience-appropriate prose. As you probably have guessed, this will be an intensive course, one that requires you to do quite a lot of work in the three weeks we meet. Our only text will be One Day in the Life of the English Language: A Microcosmic Usage Handbook, which I wrote specifically for this course at Baruch and which came out from Princeton University Press in 2015. This should be readily available in the college bookstore or in any Barnes and Noble store. I think you can get the book delivered to you the same day you order it, if you live anywhere in NYC. (I will return to you the $2 royalties I get from the sale of each book, provided you buy a new copy.) Also I may supplement the text with handouts of various kinds. Survey of English Literature I This course examines the major literary texts of the early English English 3010 literary canon. We will read about monsters and mothers in Beowulf, Prof. S. Swarbrick errant knights in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, boisterous and Mon/Wed 5:50-7:05 PM bawdy pilgrims in The Canterbury Tales, and mystical possession and sexual devotion in The Book of Margery Kempe.
