Mario Scalesi, precursore della letteratura multiculturale nello spazio del Mediterraneo

The Scalesi Project and the Mediterranean Institute, University of Malta are pleased to invite you to ‘La ‘frontiera-frattura’ delle identità plurali—Mario Scalesi, precursore della letteratura multiculturale nello spazio del Mediterraneo’, a Public Lecture by Prof. Flaviano Pisanelli from the University of Montpellier Paul-Valéry. Prof. Pisanelli’s Lecture will take place in Italian, and forms part of the newly-launched Scalesi Project, a collaborative, public-facing and cross-sectoral initative between the Mediterranean Institute, the Faculty of Arts, Letters and Humanities of the University of La Manouba and the Department of Italian Studies at the University of Montpellier Paul-Valéry.

Lo studio dell’opera di Mario Scalesi ha spinto la critica a confrontarsi non solo con questioni di ordine poetico ed estetico legate al corpus dell’autore, ma anche con un certo numero di problematiche legate al contesto sociale, antropologico, politico, economico e culturale della Tunisia – e più in generale dello spazio del Mediterraneo – nel periodo compreso tra la fine del XIX e l’inizio del ** secolo. Partendo dall’interessante introduzione al volume Mario Scalesi, précurseur de la littérature multiculturelle au Maghreb di Yvonne Fracassetti Brondino, in cui è peraltro raccolta l’opera completa dell’autore, questo intervento, oltre a tracciare l’esperienza biografica di un poeta dall’identità plurale, tenterà di rileggere l’opera poetica e critica di Scalesi in chiave interculturale, nel tentativo di ricostruire il profilo di uno scrittore e di un intellettuale estremamente moderno.

The study of Mario Scalesi’s work has prompted critics to explore not only poetic and aesthetic issues related to the author’s body of work, but also a number of social, anthropological, political, economic and cultural aspects of Tunisia – and more generally of the Mediterranean region – in the period between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Starting from the interesting introduction to Yvonne Fracassetti Brondino’s volume Mario Scalesi, précurseur de la littérature multiculturelle au Maghreb, which also contains the author’s complete works, this paper will trace the biographical experience of a multi-faceted poet and attempt to reinterpret Scalesi’s poetic and critical output from an intercultural perspective, in an effort to redefine the portrait of an extremely modern writer and intellectual.

Flaviano Pisanelli is Professor of Italian Language and Literature at Paul-Valéry University in Montpellier and co-director of Reso Research Centre. He is a poet and a translator. He has published several critical studies on Pier Paolo Pasolini’s literary and cinematographic works as well as on 20th and 21st century Italian authors’ poetical works (Scalesi, Ungaretti, Montale, Quasimodo, Bufalino, Merini …). Lately, his scientific research has focused on italophone poetry of migration and on the intercultural exchanges of the Mediterranean area (especially Italy / Tunisia). Among his publications: Parole e immagini di una storia “minore”. L’emigrazione siciliana in Tunisia (XIX et ** secolo), Tunis, Arabesques éditions, 2024 (in collaboration with A. Campisi); Natura, sensi, sentimenti. Prospettive critiche sulla poesia italiana del ** e del XXI secolo, Firenze, Franco Cesati, 2023; Confini di-versi. Frontiere, orizzonti e prospettive della poesia italofona contemporanea, Firenze, Firenze University Press, 2019 (in collaboration with L. Toppan); In poesis nomine. Onomastique et toponymie dans « Le Occasioni » d’Eugenio Montale et « Trasumanar e organizzar » de Pier Paolo Pasolini, Grenoble, ELLUG, 2008.

The Public Lecture will take place on Friday 20 February at 18:30 at the Tal-Ħursun Farmhouse, Mediterranean Institute (University of Malta Msida Campus), and is free and open to the general public.
