Depuis 1990, le genre policier connaît un large succès aussi bien dans le monde de l'édition qu'auprès du public italien. Cette date marque un renouveau de ses formes, auquel a contribué, entre autres, la création du Gruppo 13 à Bologne. À côté du giallo s'est affirmée progressivement la catégorie plus hybride du noir. Le genre policier entend sonder le mystère, démasquer l'opacité du réel en pénétrant les non-dits de l'histoire pour en proposer une lecture dérangeante ; surgissent alors d'autres questionnements relevant, quant à eux, de pulsions plus subtiles, voire inconscientes. La perspective historique et herméneutique a élevé le roman au statut de nouveau roman social, capable, sous le couvert de situations vraisemblables, de simuler la réalité pour la comprendre autrement. L'écriture d'enquête se présente de plus en plus en Italie comme le champ de toutes les expérimentations grâce à l'utilisation de canaux de communication favorisant une r...

This article presents a study of the historical novel La Donna d'Oro (2003) by the Florentine writer Linda Di Martino, author of crime novels and short stories. The novel is set in the Florentine Ghetto in 1884, on the eve of its complete demolition. The plot revolves around a cold case, an investigation on an old mystery with noir undertones. It also suggests turning the clocks back to the Florence of the 19th century that has disappeared, borrowing the idea from Giulio Piccini (Jarro)'s pamphlet, Firenze sotterranea, also published in 1884. Io, nata alla fine del 1867, nel cuore di Firenze Capitale, un cuore antico e non vecchio (così dice il babbo) ora che il Ghetto viene minacciato da ogni parte e condannato comunque a non esistere com'era, io ne scopro la singolarità, ne temo la rovina, ne prevedo la nostalgia. Merito o colpa di uno che si firma Jarro. (Di Martino 2003, 7) Chi parla, qui, è la diciassettenne Lucilla Compagni, voce narrante e prota-gonista di La Donn...

Se esistesse un “canone” della narrativa noir italiana dal Novanta ad oggi – un paradosso: la collana dedicata al noir più prestigiosa si intitola “Stile Libero Noir” (Einaudi) –Lucarelli ne rappresenterebbe una delle eventuali “corone”, per temi e tecnica di scrittura, maturati in una vocazione multimediale postmoderna, aperta alla sperimentazione di codici espressivi multipli (racconto, cronaca, televisione, radio, teatro, fumetto, videoclip, cinema), sostenuta da una tecnica narrativa ad alta tensione emotiva, intrisa di suggestioni visive e foniche, intessuta di richiami intertestuali filmici e musicali. Alla prassi creativa si sono affiancate costanti nel tempo una passione e una coscienza teorica espressa in interviste e interventi occasionali e sparsi (anche sul web), alcuni dei quali raccolti dall’autore in Il mistero a piccole dosi (Roma, Datanews, 2007). Se si riordinano questi frammenti autoesegetici in nuclei organici (personaggi – trame – luoghi – tempi – linguaggi – te...

In the wide and varied scenery of detective and horror stories set in Tuscany by their Tuscan authors, women's writing has an independent and original slot, finding its way into different anthologies of detective tales published in the last two decades. This article, in the form of a concise and general outline, without claiming exhaustiveness, focuses on three female writers of Florence crime novels: Magdalen Nabb, Linda Di Martino, and Lucia Bruni. The image of a two-faced Florence emerges from their stories: "Fiorenza bella" hides a heart of darkness. La topografia del romanzo "giallo" italiano, diversamente sfumato fino ai confini del noir 2 , disegna, a partire dalla Milano calibro 9 (1972) di Giorgio Scerbanenco, nel pieno boom economico degli anni Sessanta, una mappa del lato oscuro dell'identità nazionale, da nord a sud, dai centri urbani e dalle loro degradate periferie alla provincia apparentemente sonnacchiosa e perbene. La Toscana e il suo cap...

The graphic novel is one of the most suggestive and successful semiotic phenomena. This collection of essays focuses on the interrelations of image and text, and how they are substantiated and thematized by graphic novels. The volume gathers together twelve essays and follows a twofold structure: a historical and theoretical one, providing different and complementary approaches to the topic, from neurocognitive narratology to Digital Humanities; in the second part of the volume several case studies are discussed, based on key examples as shown by the following authors and their work: from Vanna Vinci and Lorenza Natarella, to Gipi, Zerocalcare and Manuel Fior; from Dino Buzzati to Hugo Pratt and Pazienza; from Pablo Echaurren to the Homeric epics’ comics remediation. Il graphic novel e una delle manifestazioni semiotiche piu suggestive e di successo della nostra contemporaneita. Questo volume di studi si propone di fare il punto sull’irriducibile osmosi tra parola e immagine di cui ...
