Tradursi: In Italics / En Italiques di Antonio D’Alfonso
Keywords:
esilio, diario, autotraduzione, culturaAbstract
Le vicende all’origine delle tre edizioni – In Italics del 1996 e En italiques del 2000 e 2005 –, chiariscono come la raccolta, a seconda del luogo di pubblicazione, si configuri ora come il diario di un intellettuale in esilio, ora come un mémoire apologetico di chi ha abbandonato la cultura in cui è cresciuto da cui D’Alfonso si è sentito escluso. Egli tenta di far udire la sua voce cambiando lingua, dall’italiano all’inglese al francese, ma l’uditorio che vorrebbe universale non potrà mai essere adeguato, costringendolo così a disfare e rifare all’infinito la tela di Penelope del suo testo, incrociando gli stessi fili in modo sempre diverso.
Self- Translating: In Italics / En Italiques by Antonio D’Alfonso
The sequence of the three editions – In Italics of 1996 and En italiquesdel of 2000 and 2005 – shows how the collection , depending on where it was published, appears as the diary of an exiled intellectual, or as an apologetic memoir of someone who has rejected the culture he was born into, but feels rejected from. By switching languages the author’s effort seems to be that of reaching a universal audience- without ever succeeding, and obliging him to weave and unweave that Penelope’s shroud which his text has turned into.
