Linguistic, Literary and Translation Studies

The module will address the general theme of the reception of Hispano-American literatures in Italy, on a diachronic level, starting from the mid-twentieth century up to the year 2000. It analyzes both the reception of central figures (Neruda, Borges, García Márquez, among others) and that of trends, debates, and specific moments (the so-called 'Boom', the cultural consequences of the Cuban Revolution on the continent and in Italy), etc. We will discuss the main figures of Italian Hispanists and the major literary projects concerning anthologies and publications that have marked the reception of Hispano-American literature in our country. Finally, the topic of translations and re-translations will be addressed.
