Beyond the Traveller's Gaze

  • Type: Book

  • Published: 2008

  • Publisher: Peter Lang

This book offers a stimulating analysis of three non-canonical texts in different genres written by British women who lived in Sicily in the second half of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. These texts cover a series of crucial political events as well as social and cultural changes which affected the history of Sicily during the period in question, all seen through the direct and indirect experiences of the authors. The book offers a historical perspective on the late-Victorian and Edwardian representations of post-Unification Italy.

Le siciliane

Un carattere comune alle donne della più grande isola del Mediterraneo è la determinazione e capacità di reinventare il proprio destino. A testimoniarlo sono le tante storie raccontate in questo libro. Savatteri rompe l'immaginario stantio della donna siciliana scoprendo le vite di Elvira Sellerio e Franca Viola, sino alle grandi combattenti socialiste di Piana degli Albanesi. Le donne esemplari e ribelli di Savatteri diventano una bussola per infrangere l'archetipo della narrazione e ripensare l'isola intera. Francesco Musolino, "Gazzetta del Sud" «Quando arrivai a Palermo per iscrivermi all'università, mi accorsi a pelle che Palermo era 'fimmina'. Non solo per la bellezza delle sue ragazze dagli sguardi pirateschi, ma anche per la presenza ad ogni angolo del centro storico di numerose edicole votive dedicate a santa Rosalia, la Santuzza. Palermo era 'fimmina' nella sua carnale decadenza. Odorava di fiori tropicali e di monnezza. Odorava di umidità nelle scale di palazzi aristocratici ormai in sfacelo, e odorava di mistero dietro i portoni che introducevano a chiostri carichi di gelsomini e di rose».
