Reality and Representation in Giovanni Verga

Arrigoni, Carlo January 2021 (has links)
The works published by Giovanni Verga (1840-1922) between 1878 and 1889 exposed Italian culture to the most innovative European literary trend, French Naturalism, and marked a turning point in the landscape of Italian literature. While Verga’s stylistic choices are meant to create, in his own words, ‘the complete illusion of reality’ (having the author disappear from the text in order to make way for a supposedly unmediated representation), I argue that Verga’s Verist fiction ends up emphasizing precisely the ways in which people represent reality according to their own relative point of view. Since the narrative is given from the unreliable perspective of the characters, all the distortions inherent in every storytelling act become apparent. Their viewpoint is purposefully shown as being partial and informed by individual interests, feelings, and desires. These complex dynamics of representation, or misrepresentation, in Verga’s Verist production are at the heart of my enquiry. This critical focus allows me to reevaluate the traditional representation of Verism and Naturalism as backward-looking phenomena, firmly tied to a notion of art as a mirror up to nature. The present study is situated within a growing body of work (inaugurated by Luperini, Pellini, and Merola) that intends to re-frame Verga as having demonstrably paved the way for twentieth-century Modernism. The first chapter interrogates the way in which space is transfigured by characters in I Malavoglia (1881). By looking at how narratives of country vs city, past vs present are formed and shaped by the characters’ relative points of view, I argue that the novel should be read not simply as the account of the modernization of a rural village in post-unification Italy, but mainly as a study into how such oppositional narratives are formed and what aims they serve. The second chapter focuses on a specific character-type, the malevolent observer. I argue that this figure can be seen as a representation of the readers in the texts and that it is instrumental in exemplifying Verga’s skepticism toward the heuristic potential of literature. The third chapter examines the gap between reality and representation as articulated in Mastro-don Gesualdo (1889) by situating Verga in a completely new intellectual framework, that of elite theory as formulated by political theorist Gaetano Mosca (1858-1941) and sociologist Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923). This move allows me to re-read what has become a commonplace of Verga criticism – the theatrical conception of politics in Mastro-don Gesualdo as a bitter commentary on trasformismo – as a much wider point on social history, human nature, and on the inherently slippery essence of language, on its built-in capacity to deceive and dissimulate.

Trajetórias da narrativa ítalo-brasileira : 'dove è la cuccagna?'

Carbonera, Ildo January 2008 (has links)
Marcado por fortes tendências para o gênero ensaístico, num intercâmbio constante e instável entre Ficção, História e Experiência Pessoal, o presente estudo tem por base os romances Os Malavoglia (Giovanni Verga), Pai patrão (Gavino Ledda), Vita e Stória de Nanetto Pipetta (Aquiles Bernardi), O quatrilho, A cocanha e A babilônia (José Clemente Pozenato), Juliano Pavolini e A suavidade do vento (Cristovão Tezza), Mamma, son tanto felice, O mundo inimigo e Vista parcial da noite (Luiz Ruffato). O corte epistemológico pode ser representado por duas trajetórias: a) da Itália para a América – Brasil; b) das pequenas comunidades do interior para a cidade grande. No mundo de descendência italiana imigrante, as simulações e as ilusões elaboradas pela Ficção estão mais próximas da Realidade que aquelas proporcionadas por institutos e associações, em seus argumentos e artimanhas para “resgatar as raízes” e “cultivar as tradições”, representadas por eventos como noites italianas, jantares típicos, encontros de famílias e programas radiofônicos. Nos romances, a ausência desses “eventos” é absoluta; não há brindes, nem missas de encomendação e sepultamento. Ao fim e ao cabo, o homem do campo, pós-moderno, descendente dos antigos imigrantes italianos, tornou-se um ser globalizado sem sair de casa. / This study in the manner of an essay reflects a constant but unstable interchange between Fiction, History and Personal Experience. It is based on the following novels: Os Malavoglia (Giovanni Verga), Pai patrão (Gavino Ledda), Vita e Stória de Nanetto Pipetta (Aquiles Bernardi), O quatrilho, A cocanha and A babilônia (José Clemente Pozenato), Juliano Pavolini and A suavidade do vento (Cristovão Tezza), Mamma, son tanto felice, O mundo inimigo and Vista parcial da noite (Luiz Ruffato). Two epistemological paths have a point of departure and a point of arrival: a) from Italy to Brazil / America; b) from small backcountry communities to the big city. Among the descendants of italian immigrants the simulations and illusions processed by fiction are closer to reality than those offered by institutions and associations in their argueing and tricking for "retrieval of the roots" and "reclaiming traditions", embodied by events like italian evenings, typical dinners, family encounters, and radio programs. In the novels, there is an absolute absence of such "events", no glasses are raised in honor of anything, no requiem and inhumation masses are held. Post-modern countryside people of Italian descent in Brazil have become globalized without even leaving home.

De chaînes en trames : histoire nationale et vie privée dans le roman naturaliste et vériste

Laurin, Marie-Ève January 2008 (has links) (PDF)
La présente thèse, intitulée « De chaînes en trames: histoire nationale et vie privée dans le roman naturaliste et vériste », traite des liens d'ordre métaphorique et symbolique par lesquels la mise en scène de l'espace familial et du corps exprime la dynamique sociopolitique dans Les Rougon-Macquart (1871-1893) d'Émile Zola, I Vinti (1881-1889) de Giovanni Verga, I Viceré (1894) de Federico De Roberto et I vecchi e i giovani (1913) de Luigi Pirandello. À la jonction d'un certain nombre d'articles et d'essais critiques ayant interrogé, depuis le début des années 2000, l'écriture de la sphère domestique et de la « mécanique » biologique humaine dans le roman français et italien du long XlXe siècle, l'analyse comparatiste effectuée aborde divers motifs et figures du privé et de l'intime à l'intérieur des oeuvres à l'examen. Elle embrasse, plus particulièrement, quatre avenues de recherche principales, soit: 1) la dynamique intergénérationnelle et les rituels sociaux se déployant dans l'enceinte du logis ouvrier, de la casa patrimoniale, de l'hôtel bourgeois ou du palazzo aristocratique; 2) le mode d'inscription narrative du « personnage-mémoire » et des actants féminins, qui, dans les fictions envisagées, laissent entrevoir le sens de la fiumana deI progresso [du « fleuve du progrès »]; 3) la description des édifices et des espaces privés, qui gardent la trace de l'évolution des clans et de la mouvance des « strates » sociales; 4) enfin, le caractère expressionniste des pathologies, des dégénérescences physiques et des décès qui, à l'intérieur des récits considérés, renvoient l'image des « convulsions » historiques nationales. Privilégiant une approche avant tout sociohistorique et thématique, la réflexion critique entreprise s'appuie, notamment, sur les développements de Michelle Perrot, Marzio Barbagli et Michela De Giorgio sur la vie privée, la famille et la condition féminine en Europe et, notamment, en France et en Italie au XlXe siècle. Elle met également à profit des éléments de rhétorique et des concepts psychanalytiques lors même qu'elle adopte, ponctuellement, la méthode ethnocritique d'appréhension du texte romanesque, qui permet de déceler la marque de traditions populaires tels le carnaval et le charivari dans la structure dramatique des narrations à l'étude. Les conclusions dégagées en fin de parcours analytique s'accordent pour prouver que les intrigues du corpus, nourries de sujets historiques plus ou moins contemporains de l'époque de leur genèse -soit le Second Empire (1852-1870) en France de même que l'avant et l'après fondation du royaume d'Italie (1861) -, déploient un imaginaire littéraire associant intimement histoire sociopolitique et chronique familiale. Plusieurs facteurs sociaux majeurs, desquels on citera les révolutions française et darwinienne, l'ébranlement de l'idée de transcendance, la mutation des visées de l' histoire et l'essor de sciences humaines comme la sociologie et l'anthropologie, expliquent, en effet, que les auteurs à l'étude ait révélé, au travers de la dynamique des corps et de l'évolution des clans, la physionomie différenciée de leur époque. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Naturalisme, Vérisme, Émile Zola, Giovanni Verga, Federico De Roberto, Luigi Pirandello, Littérature, XIXe siècle, Vie privée, Histoire, Politique, Société, Corps, Représentation.
