Works about this Work
- y Unveiling Absences, or Unsettling Multiculturalism, in Antonio Casella's The Sensualist and Venero Armanno's Romeo of the Underworld and The Volcano Sicily : 2012 Z1885040 2012 single work thesis This study investigates the relationship between the Gothic topoi present in the three novels analysed and the possible liminality of first and second migrant generations. Besides, it explores how this affects the narrative architecture of these novels dismantling their common interpretation as authentic and mimetic . In other words, as sociological and ethnographic documents. The parodic and sublime effects of both Gothic topoi and uncanny intertextuality, read as semiotic elements of a literature of the arrivant, deconstruct the monological narrations of the multicultural discourse in Australia. In brief, Whiteness , ethnocentrism and identity. Such an approach unveils those Lacanian absences , which support the narcissistic image of the white subject, thus paving the way for hybridity. Scopo di questo studio è stato quello di analizzare gli elementi gotici presenti nei romanzi in esame al fine di evidenziarne il rapporto con il concetto di liminality delle varie generazioni di migranti e come la stessa venga veicolata dalla stessa struttura narrativa. Dunque, un rapporto tra forma e contenuto tendente a scardinare qualsiasi discorso di autenticità e mimesi che confina tali opere ad una sfera esclusivamente sociologica ed etnografica. L effetto parodico e sublime di questi topoi gotici e dell intertestualità, interpretati nella letteratura dell arrivant dei due autori come elementi semiotici, decostruiscono le narrazioni monologiche del multiculturalismo australiano. In breve, della Whiteness , dell etnocentrismo e dell identità. Tale approccio decostruttivo svela quelle assenze lacaniane fondanti l immagine narcisista del soggetto bianco e permette un discorso di soggettività ibrida .
