DescriptionThe dissertation analyzes the centrality of the philosophy of “becoming” and “nomadism” in Ortese, Morante and Ramondino, three of the most influential writers of 20th-century Italian Literature. I argue that nomadism inspires both the authors and characters’ quixotic quests and that it deeply influences their conceptions of and relationships to the city. While Toledo, Almeria, and Ciutat are the final destinations of their incessant journeys, these cities also emblematize original reconfigurations of a fantastic Mediterranean, where places lack fixed borders, are crossed by conflicting forces, and are governed by Deleuzian processes of becoming. Such phenomena lead the characters to ‘trespass’ not only their respective territories’ borders, but also the limits of humanity. This aspect, which has been overlooked by scholars, proves that under the veil of fiction, Ortese, Morante, and Ramondino develop an ecological and post human thought, which acknowledges the centrality of nonhuman animals and nature in human beings’ existences. My dissertation’s ultimate goal is to place therefore, these writers in a broad interdisciplinary context, since they dialogue with several Italian and Spanish authors, and anticipate seminal insights of contemporary philosophers such as Agamben, Braidotti, Derrida Said, Zambrano, Deleuze and Guattari.
