| Popis | The study explores the narrative choices of fictionalization adopted in Claudia Durastanti’s novel Missitalia, with the aim of observing how imaginative writing engages with contemporary issues such as labor, the condition of women, and the environmental crisis, and how it brings these themes into close dialogue without openly resorting to militant rhetoric. The three elements and their interrelations will be examined through an ecopoetic analysis that aims to highlight three main aspects: the complicity between the female sex and the natural element; the influence exerted by the myth of progress on the female subject and on the environment; and the self-affirmation of women through a process of recognition that passes through work independence and connection to place. The analysis will show how intimacy with nature and unconventional forms of labor lead the female subject toward an anti-capitalist, anti-patriarchal, and ecological vision—one that, from a historical perspective, finds its roots even before the Unification of Italy and projects itself into the near future. Likewise, it will demonstrate how the register, style, and imagery employed are subjected to a process of subtraction in response to the advance of progress. |
