  • Mafia Motifs in Andrea Camilleri's Detective
    MAFIA MOTIFS IN ANDREA CAMILLERI’S DETECTIVE MONTALBANO NOVELS: FROM THE CULTURE AND BREAKDOWN OF OMERTÀ TO MAFIA AS A SCAPEGOAT FOR THE FAILURE OF STATE Adriana Nicole Cerami A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures (Italian). Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Dino S. Cervigni Amy Chambless Roberto Dainotto Federico Luisetti Ennio I. Rao © 2015 Adriana Nicole Cerami ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Adriana Nicole Cerami: Mafia Motifs in Andrea Camilleri’s Detective Montalbano Novels: From the Culture and Breakdown of Omertà to Mafia as a Scapegoat for the Failure of State (Under the direction of Ennio I. Rao) Twenty out of twenty-six of Andrea Camilleri’s detective Montalbano novels feature three motifs related to the mafia. First, although the mafia is not necessarily the main subject of the narratives, mafioso behavior and communication are present in all novels through both mafia and non-mafia-affiliated characters and dialogue. Second, within the narratives there is a distinction between the old and the new generations of the mafia, and a preference for the old mafia ways. Last, the mafia is illustrated as the usual suspect in everyday crime, consequentially diverting attention and accountability away from government authorities. Few critics have focused on Camilleri’s representations of the mafia and their literary significance in mafia and detective fiction. The purpose of the present study is to cast light on these three motifs through a close reading and analysis of the detective Montalbano novels, lending a new twist to the genre of detective fiction.

  • La Sicilianità Di Andrea Camilleri: “La Forma Dell‟Acqua” Come Modello Dott.Ssa Rania Zakaria Abdelsamad Nella Mia Ricerc
    From Shakespeare to Modern Ages La sicilianità di Andrea Camilleri: “La forma dell‟acqua” come modello Dott.ssa Rania Zakaria Abdelsamad Nella mia ricerca, studio la sicilianità di Andrea Camilleri, che ha ottenuto grandi successi letterari con il giallo “La forma dell'acqua” nel 1994. Ha anche creato la serie del commissario Salvo Montalbano, e altri romanzi polizieschi, romanzi e racconti e film sono tutti ambientati in Sicilia. L'ambiente siciliano ha trasformato il destino di queste storie in giro per il mondo, tanto che alcuni critici hanno parlato del vero "caso Camilleri"1. Camilleri è considerato lo scrittore italiano più letto al mondo, con circa 20 milioni di libri venduti nel mondo e tradotti in più lingue2 per non parlare del successo degli adattamenti televisivi. Il concetto di spazio letterario che prevale nelle opere di Camilleri inizia ad essere studiato in modo più sistematico intorno agli anni '60 e '70. Questa tendenza fa parte di una controversia più ampia avviata da tanti studiosi che nel XX secolo hanno discusso se siamo eredi del tempo o abitanti dello spazio. Pertanto, il tempo e lo spazio sono il contenuto principale del testo. Dopo numerosi studi sul concetto di tempo, la priorità è stata data al metodo storico della letteratura, poi sono apparsi i primi studi sulla spazialità, che hanno introdotto anche metodi geografici, e che hanno segnato il primo passo nel campo della geografia letteraria. Lo stesso paesaggio, lo stesso oggetto e lo stesso spazio possono avere significati diversi, cioè "individualità" e "omogeneità", che dipendono dalla capacità dell'individuo o 1 Lupo, Salvatore, Il caso Camilleri letteratura e storia, Sellerio, Palermo 2004, p.4.

  • Upsetting National Events and Conspiracy Narratives in Contemporary Italian Literature

Rivista di semiotica, 23–24 Complotto ISBN 978-88-548-9931-5 DOI 10.4399/978885489931521 pag. 345–367 (giugno 2016) Upsetting National Events and Conspiracy Narratives in Contemporary Italian Literature Jenny Ponzo* titolo italiano: Avvenimenti nazionali sconvolgenti e narrative del com- plotto nella letteratura italiana contemporanea. abstract: In the history of a nation, upsetting events sometimes threaten its identity. Often, conspiracy theories work as counter–narratives con- trasting the reassuring oYcial accounts of such shocking happenings. Fictional literature is one of the main channels for the diVusion of con- spiracy theories. Starting from such premises, the essay focuses on a corpus of Italian novels written in the last sixty years. They refer to four of the most upsetting moments of Italian national history (Risorgimento, the fall of Fascism, the “lead years”, and the passage from the first to the second Republic). The analysis concentrates on novels by Umberto Eco, Andrea Camilleri, Leonardo Sciascia, Rino Cammilleri, Carlo Alianel- lo, and Luciano Bianciardi. It singles out diVerent types of conspiracy narratives in contemporary Italian literature, each one characterized by peculiar recurrent motifs and characters. The essay, therefore, sets the premises for a semiotic study of conspiracy as literary genre. keywords: Conspiracy; Italian Literature; National Identity; Semiotics; Narrative. 1.

  • Affresco Siciliano O Della Bellezza Intravista Saggio Di Filologia Camilleriana*
    Affresco siciliano o della Bellezza intravista Saggio di filologia camilleriana* GIUSEPPE MARCI Al cielo girgentano il cui azzurro è di un’intensità che fa mancare il fiato È una ragione essenziale quella che ci ha fatto approdare sulla costa della Sicilia, per giungere qui, ad Agrigento e a Porto Empedocle, la Montelusa e la Vigàta di Andrea Camilleri. Sono stati i venti dei vostri 2400 anni di storia a gonfiare le vele della nostra zattera di studi camilleriani, pazientemente costruita nella propinqua isola di Sardegna, pezzo dopo pezzo, nel corso di un quarto di secolo. Negli anni passati abbiamo percorso il Mediterraneo, raggiungendo le sponde europee, quelle dell’Asia, nella terra del Libano; e siamo arrivati in America, nel Messico, in Brasile, soprattutto, dove gli studi camilleriani crescono anche per il seme gettato a Fortaleza dal professor Rafael Ferreira da Silva. Ma, con l’orgoglio di averlo fatto, e con la riconoscenza verso quanti hanno propiziato i risultati, consentendoci di conseguirli, devo dire che io e gli amici coi quali – tutti insieme – siamo giunti alla meta non eravamo appagati: sentivamo che c’era un obiettivo da raggiungere e non per ragioni sentimentali ma per un’inderogabile esigenza conoscitiva. Introducendo un suo volume tradotto in italiano negli ultimi mesi del 2019, John Sutherland ha proposto un concetto che giova richiamare: «Non c’è un lì lì» scrisse sprezzante Gertrude Stein, parigina per scelta, parlando di Oakland, sua città natale. Parole del genere non possono valere per nessuno dei libri presi in esame in questo volume. Alludendo alla mancanza di storia della città californiana, rappresentando la località come anonima, deludente, senza alcun segno distintivo o particolare degno di memoria, con questa locuzione Stein sintetizza sdegnosamente l’indefinitezza del «senso del luogo», di quell’«esserci» fondamentale senza il quale i confini di una città scompaiono1.

  • Storia Del Premio Vittorini
    BREVE STORIA DEL PREMIO VITTORINI La prima edizione del Premio letterario nazionale intestato allo scrittore siracusano Elio Vittorini (Siracusa, 1908 – Milano, 1966) ebbe luogo nel 1996, in occasione del trentesimo anniversario della sua morte, per volontà dell’editore Arnaldo Lombardi e dell’Amministrazione Provinciale di Siracusa presieduta dall’Avv. Mario Cavallaro. La cerimonia di premiazione ebbe luogo nella suggestiva sala ipostila del federiciano Castello Maniace. La Commissione giudicatrice, composta da autorevoli figure della cultura letteraria nazionale e presieduta da Natale Tedesco e da Vincenzo Consolo, venne chiamata a premiare tre opere concorrenti, che vennero inviate ad una giuria di lettori per la scelta del super premio. Vennero premiate: Il birraio di Preston di Andrea Camilleri, ancora sconosciuto al grande pubblico, Ritratto veneziano di Gustaw Herling e L’antidoto della malinconia di Piero Meldini. Il superpremio della giuria dei lettori venne conferito a Gustaw Herling. Da allora, e per ben17 edizioni, il Premio è cresciuto sempre più, fino a diventare uno dei premi nazionali molto ambiti, quasi al pari del premio Strega e del premio Campiello. Anche la cerimonia di premiazione, per l’eccessiva partecipazione di pubblico dovette mutare sede e svolgersi all’Anfiteatro romano e successivamente al Teatro Greco dove convenivano circa seimila persone. A presentare il Premio si sono susseguiti Salvo La Rosa, Michele Mirabella, Maurizio Mannoni e, nelle ultime dieci edizioni il compianto Fabrizio Frizzi. Tra gli scrittori premiati nelle varie edizioni ci piace ricordare, tra gli altri, Claudio Piersanti, Amin Maalouf, Giuseppe Montesano, Melania G. Mazzucco, Niccolò Ammaniti, Giuseppe Bonaviri, Paolo Di Stefano, Roberto Alajmo, Maria Attanasio, Emma Dante, Nicola Lagioia, Ruggero Cappuccio, Paolo Sorrentino, Giuseppe Lupo, Carmine Abate, Pino Di Silvestro, Pietrangelo Buttafuoco, Roberto Andò, Valeria Parrella, Paolo Di Paolo, ed altri ancora.

Italian Identity through Literature and T.V.: the case of Andrea Camilleri’s Commissioner Montalbano By Andrew Caito John Carroll University May 10, 2017 Caito 2 Andrea Camilleri is the one of the most well-known authors Sicily has ever produced, and one of the most popular authors in Italy during the past twenty years. He was born on September 6, 1925 in the small fishing village of Porto Empedocle, on the southern coast of Sicily near Agrigento. Little is known about Camilleri’s early years, however, he began university in 1944 but soon dropped out and moved to Rome to be a part of its experimental theatrical community. Until he was nearly 70 years old, Camilleri was a minor historical novelist and a decently-known director of Luigi Pirandello’s theatrical works1.
