This book examines the concept of translation as a return to
origins and as restitution of lost narratives, and is based on the
idea of diaspora as a term that depicts the longing to return home
and the imaginary reconstructions and reconstitutions of home by
migrants and translators. The author analyses a corpus made up of
novels and a memoir by Italian-Canadian writers Mary Melfi, Nino
Ricci and Frank Paci, examining the theme of return both within the
writing itself and also in the discourse surrounding the
translations of these works into Italian. These 'reconstructions'
are analysed through the lens of translation, and more specifically
through the notion of written code-switching, understood here as a
fictional tool which symbolizes the translational movements between
different points of view. This book will be of particular interest
to students and scholars of translation and interpreting, migration
studies, and Italian and diasporic writing.
