by Mauro Giori

Published in "Mantichora", a. I, n. 1, december 2011, pp. 335-342.

Presented at a congress at Università degli Studi di Messina in 2010, this is just a first draft later developed in the book “Poetica e prassi della trasgressione in Luchino Visconti. 1935-1962”, Libraccio, Milan 2011.

This is true both with his films and with his stage productions. "Adamo" (1945) and "Rocco and His Brothers" (1960) offer two examples out of many.

Una experiencia de traducción epistolar: las cartas de Pirandello a Marta Abba (An experience of epistolary translation: Pirandello’s letters to Marta Abba)

The elements which help the translating work of these letters are the way they specify its relationship with the macrotext and with the history of the reception of author’s work in the target culture. Two particular cases of that translating work are presented here.
