  • 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. Sommario 1. I primi contatti. – 2. Dario Puccini e i nuovi amici scrittori. – 3. La storia italiana dei libri di Castellet. – 4. La nuova letteratura proveniente dall’America latina. Keywords Literary relationships Italy-Spain. 1950’s 1960’s. Literary criticism. Spanish poetry. Alla memoria del Professor Gaetano Chiappini e del ‘Mestre’ Castellet.

In the daughter because youth cannot an should not become fixed on the here but only on the further-on, the over there; in the husband because he was too late in freeing himself from his youthful impatiences and in understanding (only in theory) that salvation lies solely in applying oneself to the things that are there.

BOOK REVIEWS CAN THESE BONES LIVE? TRANSLATION, SURVIVAL, AND CULTURAL MEMORY. By Bella Brodzki. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2007. 272 p. There is a cartoon from the New Yorker reproduced in this book that shows a man stand- ing by his telephone. His fi ngers mark the page in a book that he has clearly been inter- rupted in reading by this unexpected call. His face is all anxiety as he says to his unknown caller, “I’m sorry, you have the wrong language.” Can These Bones Live? is among other things a refl ection on what it might be to speak the right language. In other words, when we bring cultural or linguistic material from one site, one time, to another, are we always condemned in that act of translation to speak the “wrong” language, to deform, carica- ture, approximate, betray the other? Or is the “wrong” language a “right” in the sense of the right of writers and cultures to transmute, transform, and endlessly recreate what they have received from other places and other times to sustain the principle of life itself in cultural practice and aesthetic renewal? Can These Bones Live? considers what it means to conceive of the passage from death into life as a form of translation.
