Rewriting the limits between history and fiction : Jorge Luis Borges in the work of Leonardo Sciascia

Martinez Nistal, Clara January 2018 (has links)
This thesis examines the preoccupation with the relationship between history and fiction present in the work of Leonardo Sciascia and Jorge Luis Borges. By means of different narrative strategies, both authors underscore the narrative elements that underpin any reconstruction of the past, and in this way they link the process of reconstruction of past events to the process of rewriting of a literary work. They emphasise, however, that whereas the literary work can be enriched by multiple rewritings, multiple reconstructions of the same real past event risk threatening its truthfulness. This thesis investigates the different ways in which Borges’s and Sciascia’s works intersect, across three narrative forms: the detective story, the historical essay (inchiesta or ‘enquiry’ for Sciascia) and the historical fiction. The analysis of Sciascia’s texts starts from a focus on the structural similarities with the work of Borges in the detective story, paying particular attention to Il contesto (1971), Todo modo (1974), and Il cavaliere e la morte (1988). It then moves on to Sciascia’s inclusion of fragments of Borges’s texts in two of his inchieste, L’affaire Moro (1978) and Il teatro della memoria (1981). The last chapter of the thesis proposes a metafictional reading of Sciascia’s historical novel Il Consiglio d’Egitto (1963), in the light of the comparisons with Borges’s work undertaken in the previous chapters. The two key aims of this thesis are to show (1) that studying the ways in which Sciascia integrates Borges’s texts in his own writing allows a deeper understanding of Sciascia’s texts, but also underscores traits in Borges’s which might have been downplayed by previous criticism of his work, and (2) that reconsidering in the light of this understanding a number of Sciascia’s other texts where Borges’s influence is not explicit allows us to identify a preoccupation with regards to the relationship between history and fiction shared between both authors.

Sicílie jako metafora? Literární obraz Sicílie ve vybraných dílech sicilských autorů. / Sicily as a metaphor? Literary image of Sicily in selected works of Sicilian authors.

Chaloupková, Veronika January 2017 (has links)
(in English): This diploma thesis deals with the literary image of Sicily by analysing characteristic works by four Sicilian authors in the historical period from the process of the Italian unification to the end of World War II. The authors are Giovanni Verga, Luigi Pirandello, Vitaliano Brancati and Leonardo Sciascia. This thesis is based primarily on the assumption that these writers are subjective and empiric authors and their works clearly reflect the fact that they hail from Sicily having been influenced by its societal norms and traditions. The author supports her arguments by the theoretical essays written by Leonardo Sciascia, who devoted his lifetime to the study of Sicily from the historical, social, political and anthropological perspective. The basic prerequisite for this work therefore consists of three theoretical publications: Pirandello e il pirandelismo (1953, Pirandello and the pirandellism), Pirandello e la Sicilia (1961, Pirandello and Sicily), La Sicilia come metafora (1979, Sicily as a metaphor). In this thesis the author attempts to trace the common attributes and linking motifs throughout selected characteristic works and their analysis. As a conclusion, the author summarizes her observations and intends to find more general parallels between the historical development of...

A investigação do crime em O dia da coruja e A cada um o seu, de Leonardo Sciascia, e em A forma da água e O ladrão de merendas, de Andrea Camilleri / La investigación del crimen en O dia da Coruja y A cada um o seu, de Leonardo Sciascia, y en A forma da água y O ladrão de merendas, de andrea Camilleri

Gisele Maria Nascimento Palmieri 31 March 2011 (has links)
Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar e discutir os romances-ensaios O Dia da Coruja e A Cada um o Seu, de Leonardo Sciascia, em perspectiva comparada com as narrativas policiais A Forma da Água e O Ladrão de Merendas, de Andrea Camilleri, no que diz respeito aos traços estilísticos, históricos e temáticos das obras em foco. Na pesquisa, refletiu-se sobre a utilização da estrutura do romance policial como estratégia de composição empregada pelos dois autores sicilianos, a fim de criticarem a realidade sociopolítica italiana dos últimos 50 anos. Ao final, apontam-se diferenças e identidades existentes entre os citados títulos e se conclui que, L.Sciascia, em tom amargo e incisivo, deu à matéria de seus romances um perfil tanto de narrativa ficcional quanto de ensaio político-filosófico, com o objetivo de denunciar, em seus pseudo-gialli, não apenas crimes, mas, principalmente, a falta de ética no seio da justiça de seu país. Já A.Camilleri eternizou seu perfil de escritor giallista, criando a figura do inspetor Salvo Montalbano e ao lançar mão do recurso do riso sério. Tal artifício não invalidou, ao contrário, sublinhou ironicamente a denúncia a toda forma de criminalidade, de corrupção e de abuso do poder, na fictícia Vigata, espaço imaginário representativo da Sicilia e da Itália / Esta disertación tiene como objetivo analizar y discutir las novelas- ensayos O dia da coruja y A cada um o seu, de Leonardo Sciascia, en perspectiva comparada con las narrativas policíacas A forma da água y O ladrão de merendas, de Andrea Camilleri, en lo que se refiere a los rasgos estilísticos, históricos y temáticos de las obras en enfoque.

Ya A.Camilleri eternizó su perfil de escritor giallista, creando la figura del inspector Salvo Montalbano y al usar el recurso de la risa seria. Tal estratagema no invalidó, al revés, señaló irónicamente la denuncia a toda forma de criminalidad, de corrupción y de abuso de autoridad, en la ficticia Vigata, espacio imaginario representativo de Sicilia e Italia

IL CONFINE NELLA LETTERATURA: LA SICILIA E TRIESTE

ASSENZA, SILVIA 17 February 2009 (has links)
A partire dall’analisi dei concetti di ‘confine’ e di ‘frontiera’, lo studio indaga la letteratura siciliana e quella triestina, letterature nate su due terre liminali. La tesi si compone di tre parti: la prima parte riguarda la letteratura siciliana; la seconda la letteratura triestina; la terza tenta un possibile confronto tra le due letterature. Per quanto concerne la letteratura siciliana gli autori e le opere studiate sono: Le città del mondo di Elio Vittorini, l’Horcynus orca di Stefano D’Arrigo in cui tutta la vicenda è concentrata sullo stretto di Messina, tra Scilla e Cariddi, ed un capitolo sulla lingua di Leonardo Sciascia, chiara espressione della circolarità dell’isola. Per il versante triestino, nella seconda parte, gli autori e le opere studiate per il loro essere espressione della frontiera sono: Carlo Michelstaedter, La persuasione e la retorica ; Il capitano di lungo corso di Roberto Bazlen e infine Il richiamo di Alma Stelio di Mattioni che, come nel caso di Vittorini, traccia la mappa topografica di Trieste e si confronta con l’alterità. / Beginning from the concept of ‘border’ and ‘frontier’, work investigates sicilian letterature and Trieste’s one, both born on the two boundering’s lands. Thesis is made of three parts: the first part concerns with Sicilian letterature; the second part about Trieste’s letterature. The third one tries a possible comparison between the two letteratures. About Sicilian letterature the autors and the studied works are: Le città del mondo by Elio Vittorini, The Horcynus orca by Stefano D’Arrigo where all the plot is set in the Straits of Messina, between Scilla and Cariddi, and a chapter about Leonardo Sciascia’s language, clear expression of island’s circularity. About triestin letterature, on the second part, autors and studied works, because of their being expression of the frontier, are: Carlo Michelstaedter, La persuasione e la retorica ; Il capitano di lungo corso by Roberto Bazlen and eventually Il richiamo di Alma by Stelio Mattioni which, as Vittorini, draws the topographic map of Trieste and compares itself with alterity.

Pier Vittorio Tondelli: Letteratura Minore e Scrittura dell'Impegno Sociale

Gastaldi, Sciltian 20 March 2014 (has links)
Abstract This thesis illustrates the social engagement in the literary writings of Pier Vittorio Tondelli, an Italian gay author whose works have been described by many Catholic, Materialists, and gay critics as frivolous and disengaged. The dissertation summarizes the mutation of the Italian literary concept of impegno from Neorealism to Postmodernism, through a selection of the texts of Elio Vittorini, Italo Calvino, Franco Fortini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Leonardo Sciascia, and Umberto Eco. It shows how Tondelli’s interpretation of the role of the writer falls within the definitions given by Calvino and Eco. Moreover, the thesis demonstrates that Altri libertini and Pao Pao satisfy the characteristics of littérature mineure established by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, though Tondelli’s oeuvre is socially engaged instead of being politically engaged because of his lack of a political ideology. The dissertation highlights the core of Tondelli’s social commitment in his passionate defense of the outcasts in: Altri libertini where drug addicts, homosexuals, transsexuals, and bums are the protagonists; Pao Pao where a group of gay soldiers is described in its grotesque and camp attempt to “homosexualize” their barrack; Rimini where the Riviera Adriatica is portrayed as a place where everyone passes by and no one belongs; Camere separate through the love story of a gay couple in which one partner has to survive his lover’s death, due to an illness that is demonstrated in this thesis to be AIDS, while fighting against the homophobia of their families, institutions, society, and religion. Most of Tondelli’s socially excluded characters are introduced to the reader through an internal homodiegetic point of view. Another important component of Tondelli’s impegno is his open defense of both pop-culture and counter-cultures: gay, hippies, rockers, experimental theatre, street artists and alternative radio, which are central in all his writings.
