It has been deemed “ferocious,” “a death-defying linguistic tightrope act,” and a combination of “dark and spiky emotions” in reviews appearing in popular newspapers. Taking the considerable critical investment in the affective dimension of Ferrante’s work as a point of departure, my dissertation examines the representation of emotions in My Brilliant Friend and in two Italian novels written between the 1960s and the 1970s – La Storia (1974, History: A Novel) by Elsa Morante (1912-1985) and L’arte della gioia (The Art of Joy, 1998/2008) by Goliarda Sapienza (1924-1996). However, rather than remaining centered on these works’ emotive landscapes alone, I seek instead to trace the continuities that link these two “historical” novels of the past to Ferrante’s successful and more recent tetralogy. I look at the representation of emotions and at what I call “moments of intensity” – moments of disruption in the narrative sequence, along with stylistic and linguistic rupture, used to convey the characters’ modified perception, rather than the affective reaction of the reader – in order to illuminate these works’ multi-layered view on women and history, and to show how the iv characters’ emotional responses and moments of narrative intensity are intrinsically connected to the authors’ visions of history and women. Thus, my research reflects on the sudden popularity of the contemporary Italian novel within the global literary scene while also looking beyond national borders to argue more broadly for the interconnectedness of emotional intensity, historicity and narrative form. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the members of my committee for their intellectual and emotional support throughout the last years: my supervisor, Prof. Giancarlo Lombardi, always “only an email away from me,” Prof. Monica Calabritto, scholar and teacher of emotions, and Prof. Nancy K. Miller, with whom I could talk for hours. My deep gratitude also goes to Prof. Hermann Haller for helping me navigate the linguistic aspects of the texts I analyze in this dissertation. I am grateful for all the professors and friends I met at CUNY and for my friends and family around the world. Finally, I would like to thank Dave and Angelica for bringing joy in my life every day. vi CONTENTS Introduction. Narrating Intensity __________________________________________________ 1 1.

Morante and Sapienza belong to the same generation of writers active after the Second World War; Ferrante is currently the most popular Italian writer on the global stage. Her success is a “phenomenon” with huge repercussions on the production, translation and reception of literature produced by Italian women writers. As a result of the “Ferrante effect”1 a number of Italian novels have been recently translated into English. Notably, Ferrante’s translator Ann Goldstein has produced a new translation of Morante’s L’isola di Arturo (Arturo’s Island, 2019). These authors have had different lives, careers and receptions, but they have something in common: each of them produced one sprawling “historical” novel with female protagonists. Morante published La Storia in 1974 directly as a paperback at a low price. The book soon became a literary case, one of the few bestsellers by a living author in the 1970s. Conversely, L’arte della gioia, written in the same years and completed in 1976, was rejected by the major publishing houses and never published during the author’s life. It was published after Sapienza’s death, first partially (Stampa Alternativa, 1994) and later entirely but in few copies (Stampa Alternativa, 1998), before a reprint by the prestigious Einaudi in 2008. L’amica geniale appeared in four volumes, published in Italy between 2011 and 2014 and translated immediately into English between 2012 and 2015. 1 See the recent article by Anna Momigliano in The New York Times, “The Ferrante Effect” (9 December 2019). Introduction These three novels have very different publishing histories, but they all emphasize emotional intensity along with the effect of the flux of history on women’s lives. By putting them in dialogue with each other – and occasionally with other novels which feature women who confront historical and political events of the twentieth century – my study explores how women writers are affected by and represent key historical events such as the rise of Fascism, the Second World War, the “economic miracle” of the post-war years and the cultural and political upheavals of the 1970s. Their works focus on female characters and deploy female narrators, foregrounding issues related to motherhood, the female body, women’s agency and autonomy. These novels also depart from the model of

    Valerie McGuire, PhD Candidate Italian Studies Department, New York University La Pietra, Florence; Spring, 2012 The Mediterranean in Theory and Practice The Mediterranean as a category has increasingly gained rhetorical currency in social and cultural discourses. It is used to indicate not only a geographic area but also a set of traditional and even sacrosanct human values, while encapsulating fantasies of both environmental utopia and dystopia. While the Mediterranean diet and “way of life” is upheld as an exemplary counterpoint to our modern condition, the region’s woes cast a shadow over Europe and its enlightened, rationalist ideals—and most recently, has even undermined the project of the European Union itself. The Mediterranean is as often positioned as the floodgate through which trickles organized crime, political corruption, illegal immigration, financial crisis, and more generally, the malaise of globalization, as it is imagined as a utopian This course explores different symbolic configurations of the Mediterranean in twentieth- and twenty-first-century Italian culture. Students will first examine different theoretical approaches (geophysical, historical, anthropological), and then turn to specific textual representations of the Mediterranean, literary and cinematic, and in some instances architectural. We will investigate how representations of the Mediterranean have been critical to the shaping of Italian identity as well as the role of the Mediterranean to separate Europe and its Others. Readings include Fernand Braudel, Iain Chambers, Ernesto de Martino, Elsa Morante, Andrea Camillieri, and Amara Lakhous. Final projects require students to isolate a topic within Italian culture and to develop in situ research that examines how the concept of the Mediterranean may be used to codify, or in some instances justify, certain textual or social practices.

Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels Abstract The fusion of high and low art which characterises Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels is one of the reasons for her global success. This article goes beyond this formulation to explore the sources of Ferrante's narrative: the 'low' sources are considered in the light of Peter Brooks' definition of the melodramatic mode; the 'high' component is identified in the self-reflexive, metafictional strategies of the antinovel tradition.

  • Milkova, Stiliana. Side by Side
    http://www.gendersexualityitaly.com g/s/i is an annual peer-reviewed journal which publishes research on gendered identities and the ways they intersect with and produce Italian politics, culture, and society by way of a variety of cultural productions, discourses, and practices spanning historical, social, and geopolitical boundaries. Title: Side by Side: Female Collaboration in Ferrante’s Fiction and Ferrante Studies Journal Issue: gender/sexuality/italy, 7 (2020) Author: Stiliana Milkova, Oberlin College Publication date: February 2021 Publication info: gender/sexuality/italy, “Invited Perspectives” Permalink: https://www.gendersexualityitaly.com/7-female-collaboration-ferrante Author Bio: Stiliana Milkova is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at Oberlin College (USA). Her scholarly publications include several articles on Russian and Bulgarian literature, numerous articles on Elena Ferrante, and the monograph Elena Ferrante as World Literature. She has translated from Italian works by Anita Raja, Antonio Tabucchi, and Alessandro Baricco, among others. She edits the online journal Reading in Translation and her public writing has appeared in Nazione Indiana, Michigan Quarterly Review, Asymptote, and Public Books. Abstract: This essay proposes that Elena Ferrante’s novels depict female friendship and collaboration as a literal and metaphorical positioning side by side that dislodges the androcentric, vertical hierarchies of intellectual labor, authorship, and (re)production. Further, it argues that the collaborative female practices in Ferrante’s fiction have engendered––or brought to light––collaborative female and feminist projects in Ferrante Studies and outside academia establishing a legacy of creative and authorial women. Thus a double creation of female genealogies is at work within Ferrante’s novels and in the critical field that studies them.

  • Il Castellet 'Italiano' La Porta Per La Nuova Letteratura Latinoamericana
    Rassegna iberistica ISSN 2037-6588 Vol. 38 – Num. 104 – Dicembre 2015 Il Castellet ‘italiano’ La porta per la nuova letteratura latinoamericana Francesco Luti (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, España) Abstract This paper seeks to recall the ‘Italian route’ of the critic Josep Maria Castellet in the last century, a key figure in Spanish and Catalan literature. The Italian publishing and literary worlds served as a point of reference for Castellet, and also for his closest literary companions (José Agustín Goytisolo and Carlos Barral). All of these individuals formed part of the so-called Barcelona School. Over the course of at least two decades, these men managed to build and maintain a bridge to the main Italian publishing houses, thereby opening up new opportunities for Spanish literature during the Franco era. Thanks to these links, new Spanish names gained visibility even in the catalogues of Italian publishing houses. Looking at the period from the mid- 1950s to the end of the 1960s, the article focuses on the Italian contacts of Castellet as well as his publications in Italy. The study concludes with a comment on his Latin American connections, showing how this literary ‘bridge’ between Barcelona and Italy also contributed to exposing an Italian audience to the Latin American literary boom.
