ll corpo invaso nella letteratura italiana. Ottocento e Novecento
This issue of Cahiers d’études italiennes presents studies on the representation of the ‘Invaded Body’ in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Italian literature. The contributions review the various forms this invasion can take: from the psychological degeneration described by Igino U. Tarchetti in his novel Una nobile follia to physical amputation suffered by soldiers in World War II; from experiments reported in ‘speculative’ literature that display a desire to master the body through science to the verses of Elsa Morante and poet‑worker Ferruccio Brugnaro. Although these latter two writers belong to very different worlds, both use poetry to describe a similarly pervasive violence: on the one hand, the violence inherent in factory work; on the other hand, the psychedelic and ‘decorporation’ effects generated by drugs—effects raising questions about the mind/body dichotomy so deeply rooted in Western culture. The issue also includes a “somatization”-focused reading of the work of Italian-Argentinian writer Juan R. Wilcock and a study of the representation of rape, with a particular focus on Paola Masino’s novel Monte Ignoso. The issue’s final section introduces poems by two Italian women poets, Roberta Durante and Isabella Tomassi.
