Drawing on the recent renewal of interest in the debate on orality
and literacy this book investigates the varying perceptions and
representations of orality in contemporary Italian fiction,
providing a fresh perspective on this rich and fast-developing
debate and on the study of the Italian literary language. The book
brings together a number of complementary approaches to orality
from the fields of linguistics, literary and media studies and
offers a detailed analysis of a broad variety of authors and texts
that appeared over the last three decades - ranging from
internationally acclaimed writers such as Celati, Duranti and
Tabucchi, through De Luca and Baricco, to the latest generation of
writers, such as Campo, Ballestra and Nove. By exploring the
complementary facets of Italian orality, and its diachronical
developments since the seventies, this study questions the
traditionally dichotomic approach to the study of orality and
literacy and posits a more flexible, cross-modal approach that
accounts for the increasing hybridisation of text forms and media
and for the greater interaction between the spoken and the written
as well as their representations.
