Description
Focusing on the exilic experience described by a woman, Cinzia Sartini Blum, in "Toni Maraini's vivere vagabondo: Exile as the Last Utopia," examines exile as a precondition for nomadic adventures of thought in the work of Toni Maraini. Unlike other members of her intellectually prominent family, Toni Maraini assumes the authorial persona of an exile from the Western intellectual establishment. From this perspective, exile is not the conventional metaphor for the (post)modern state of existential alienation, but a revived figure for an ethically and politically driven move toward intercultural understanding. Rather than evoke nostalgia for lost origins, authenticity, and meaning, exile points to a liminal place, beyond old and new intellectual boundaries, where it is still possible to search history for enduring human values. In Mitografia dell'esule, Giuseppe De Marco calls attention to the central role that the theme of exile, in its various inflections, plays in Italian literature from the Middle Ages to the present. (1) While De Marco's approach is not strictly chronological, he points to a development whereby the traditional representation of exile as an individual, heroic iter gives way to the contemporary image of a common drifting into anonymous alienation:
