{"product_id":"gadda-transmissions-luca-mazzocchi-9781839544033","title":"Gadda Transmissions: Carlo Emilio Gadda Across Boundaries, Languages and Systems","description":"\u003cp\u003eHybridism is the key word to describe the work of Carlo Emilio Gadda (Milan, 1893-Rome, 1973), one of the major voices of twentieth-century Italian literature. Engineer, philosopher, writer, Gadda defied categorisation, weaving together literature, philosophy, psychoanalysis, history, and the natural sciences in a body of work that challenges interpretation, editorial practice, and translation. To engage with Gadda compels us to embrace complexity, contradiction, and, above all, an interdisciplinary perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book answers that call, by gathering for the first time scholars from across the humanities - textual criticism, literary criticism, linguistics, translation studies, philosophy, cultural studies - alongside an archive manager, an archive owner, and a translator. The book presents Gadda as a case study, with the aim of acknowledging his singular position at the crossroads of crucial theoretical debates on the nature of literature and the responsibilities of cultural transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuca Mazzocchi holds a DPhil in Medieval and Modern Languages (Italian) from the University of Oxford and has recently completed a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the University of Bologna.
