This paper intends to offer an investigation about the use of footnotes in Carlo Emilio Gadda’s narrative works through a specific analysis of the work “Eros e Priapo”. Starting from a formal description of the footnotes as a paratextual element (the main reference will be Genette’s "Seuils", 1987), this work will take into consideration the eccentric and metatextual nature of Gadda’s footnotes, in order to justify his stylistic choices as the necessary result of his own specific idea of literature and his personal philosophy. Finally, this work will analyse “Eros e Priapo” through a precise census of its footnotes.
Il presente lavoro intende offrire un’indagine sull’uso della nota a piè di pagina nell’opera narrativa di Carlo Emilio Gadda, con particolare attenzione al caso di “Eros e Priapo”. Partendo da una descrizione formale della nota in quanto elemento paratestuale (con rif. in particolare a Genette - Seuils, 1987), si prenderà in esame il carattere eccentrico e metatestuale della nota gaddiana, allo scopo di giustificare tali scelte stilistiche come il “resultato, o meglio il sintomo” di una precisa concezione della letteratura e, più in generale, come l’esito necessario della proposta filosofica dell’autore. Quindi, si procederà con una panoramica sul testo di “Eros e Priapo” e con uno spoglio puntuale delle glosse presenti nell’opera.

Abstract
This paper intends to offer an investigation about the use of footnotes in Carlo Emilio Gadda’s narrative works through a specific analysis of the work “Eros e Priapo”. Starting from a formal description of the footnotes as a paratextual element (the main reference will be Genette’s "Seuils", 1987), this work will take into consideration the eccentric and metatextual nature of Gadda’s footnotes, in order to justify his stylistic choices as the necessary result of his own specific idea of literature and his personal philosophy. Finally, this work will analyse “Eros e Priapo” through a precise census of its footnotes.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
