Resumen de La mimesi dell’Altro nella narrativa di Giuseppe Culicchia
The objective of the study is to identify and examine the essential elements which constitute the concept of the Other in the novels of Giuseppe Culicchia. The texts analyzed were published by Culicchia, writer, essayist and translator in Turin, Italy, from 1994 to 2019. The theoretical literary perspective is that of mimesis (Erich Auerbach, Zofia Mitosek, Nicoletta Salomon, Cesare Segre) and the concept of the l’Altro derives from anthropological studies (Marc Augé, Marco Aime, Ugo Fabietti, Francesco Remotti). The purpose of this study is to promote interdisciplinary research and to present the model of the Other and its evolution in novels. The article focuses on aspects of otherness, more apparent in Culicchia, that is to say: distance and space (the idea of nonluogo, mente locale, mobility), set of values and the consequent changes in the characters of his novels.
