"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.
