Paisajes migrantes y espacios geosimbólicos en escritoras italianas

Abstract

Italian migration and post-colonial literature has devoted much attention to the debate on the symbolic representations of geographical spaces. Nations and cities are historically and culturally charged with the individual experiences and collective processes of the communities that inhabit them, becoming scenarios of cultural vindication. Through the texts of Igiaba Scego (La mia casa è Dove sono, 2010) and Ornella Vorpsi (Il paese Dove non si muore mai, 2018) this article proposes an analysis of landscapes as anthropological places and interstitial spaces where, thanks to the exercise of collective memory, new plural and mixed identities are constructed.
