Keywords:
migrazione italiana, donna-scrittrice, autobiografiaAbstract
Scopo di questo articolo è presentare un panorama storico e narrativo della migrazione italiana e, in particolare, della donna-scrittrice, emigrata e residente in Brasile a partire dagli anni Venti del secolo scorso. Per addentrarci nella proposta teorica della migrazione e dei suoi materiali plurilinguistici e pluriculturali che da essa emergono, ci serviremo dei volumi autobiografici della moglie del ben più noto Jorge Amado, Zélia Gattai, a cominciare dal primo celebre volume, Anarquistas, graças a Deus.
Autobiographical Obsession. Zelia Gattai and Migration Writing
The aim of this article is to introduce a historical and narrative panorama of Italian migration – in particular that of a woman writer emigrated to Brasil in the nineteen-twenties. To try and face the theoretical question of migration and of its multilinguistic and multicultural aspects, we shall deal with the autobiographical writings of Jorge Amado’s wife, Zelia Gattai and her first celebrated novel Anarquistas, graças a Deus.
