"A model of academic praxis." - Public Books Elena Ferrante as
World Literature is the first English-language monograph on Italian
writer Elena Ferrante, whose four Neapolitan Novels (2011-2014)
became a global phenomenon. The book proposes that Ferrante
constructs a theory of feminine experience which serves as the
scaffolding for her own literary practice. Drawing on the
writer’s entire textual corpus to date, Stiliana Milkova examines
the linguistic, psychical, and corporeal-spatial realities that
constitute the female subjects Ferrante has theorized. At stake in
Ferrante’s theory/practice is the articulation of a feminine
subjectivity that emerges from the structures of patriarchal
oppression and that resists, bypasses, or subverts these very
structures. Milkova’s inquiry proceeds from Ferrante’s theory
of frantumaglia and smarginatura to explore mechanisms for
controlling and containing the female body and mind, forms of
female authorship and creativity, and corporeal negotiations of
urban topography and patriarchal space. Elena Ferrante as World
Literature sets forth an interdisciplinary framework for
understanding Ferrante's texts and offers an account of her
literary and cultural significance today.
