Nel romanzo contemporaneo vari testi esaminati sembrano seguire inconsciamente (o meno) il modello morantiano – la favola che trasfigura la sciagura della famiglia nella mancata attenzione a un contesto sociale pure esistente (fino alla timida apertura con L’isola di Arturo del 1957) oppure quello contrario proposto da Natalia Ginzburg, in cui la realtà – certo legata a una famiglia particolare ma centrata nello spazio urbano di Torino con assoluta fedeltà ai nomi delle persone come delle strade – dev’essere letta per desiderio autoriale come un romanzo. Il secondo fronte si occupa delle narrazioni familiari più recenti in cui si continua a narrare della famiglia anche quando il vincolo legale è scomparso per motivi legali e/o storici (quindi pubblici), oppure è andato deteriorandosi per via della separazione dei genitori. Rotto l’impegno fra i due membri della coppia, anche il rapporto interpersonale con i figli, altri componenti della famiglia da loro formata, diventa problematico. Cionondimeno, o forse con più vigore, tale contesto familiare vuol essere raccontato nei suoi risvolti psicologici. Un rapporto interpersonale incentrato sul legame fra due sorelle, oppure sulla difficoltà di incontrare i propri genitori diventa un risvolto tematico-strutturale del romanzo di famiglia contemporaneo.

Abstract
In the contemporary novel, various texts seem to unconsciously (or not) follow the Morantian model - the fable that transfigures the family's misfortune in the lack of attention to an existing social context (until the timid opening with L'isola di Arturo in 1957) or that opposite proposed by Natalia Ginzburg, in which reality - certainly linked to a particular family but centered in the urban space of Turin with absolute fidelity to the names of people as well as streets - must be read out of authorial desire like a novel. The second front deals with the most recent family narratives in which the family continues to be narrated even when the legal bond has disappeared for legal and/or historical (therefore public) reasons, or has deteriorated due to the separation of the parents. Once the commitment between the two members of the couple is broken, even the interpersonal relationship with their children, other members of the family they have formed, becomes problematic. Nonetheless, or perhaps with more vigor, this family context wants to be told in its psychological implications. An interpersonal relationship centered on the bond between two sisters, or on the difficulty of meeting one's parents becomes a thematic-structural aspect of the contemporary family novel.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
