The thesis focuses on the poetic analysis of selected poems by the twentieth-century poet Cesare Pavese, with the objective of highlighting the presence of mythical element. This element derives its uniqueness and significance from its extratemporal dimension, which brings the poet back to a primordial world that has been eclipsed by the constraints of everyday life. Within the constellation of oppositions that characterize the poetic production of the Turin-born author: childhood versus adulthood, countryside versus city, rationality versus irrationality, myth standing in contraposition to logos. As Pavese himself underscores in the pages of Mestiere di Vivere, his private diary written between 1935 and his death, the themes of myth and the wild constitute the core of his poetic vision. In some cases, his interest in myth emerges through explicit and strong allusions; in others it emerges as a more subdued and lyrical resonance. In both cases, myth proves to be a crucial interpretative key to Pavese's poetics.
L'elaborato verte attorno all'analisi poetica di alcuni componimenti del poeta novecentesco Cesare Pavese, con l'intento di evidenziare in essi l'elemento mitico. Questo, infatti, trae la propria unicità e il proprio valore dalla sua collocazione extratemporale, che riporta il poeta ad un mondo delle origini superato dalla legge del quotidiano. Nell'insieme delle opposizioni che vigono nella produzione poetica dell'autore torinese: l'infanzia si oppone all'età adulta, la campagna alla città, la razionalità all'irrazionalità e il mito si oppone al logos. Come evidenziato da Pavese stesso nelle pagine del Mestiere di Vivere, il diario privato che scrive dal 1935 fino alla sua morte, il tema del mito e del selvaggio restano il centro di tutta la sua poetica. In alcuni casi l'interesse per il mito emerge con forti ed evidenti richiami, in altri con dolci echi; questo rende il mito una chiave di lettura della poetica pavesiana.

Abstract
The thesis focuses on the poetic analysis of selected poems by the twentieth-century poet Cesare Pavese, with the objective of highlighting the presence of mythical element. This element derives its uniqueness and significance from its extratemporal dimension, which brings the poet back to a primordial world that has been eclipsed by the constraints of everyday life. Within the constellation of oppositions that characterize the poetic production of the Turin-born author: childhood versus adulthood, countryside versus city, rationality versus irrationality, myth standing in contraposition to logos. As Pavese himself underscores in the pages of Mestiere di Vivere, his private diary written between 1935 and his death, the themes of myth and the wild constitute the core of his poetic vision. In some cases, his interest in myth emerges through explicit and strong allusions; in others it emerges as a more subdued and lyrical resonance. In both cases, myth proves to be a crucial interpretative key to Pavese's poetics.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
