초록

This paper focuses on works classified today as ‘Italian postcolonial literature’ within the ‘Italian migrant literature’ that emerged in the early 1990s, with particular attention to the works of Ethiopian female authors from the Horn of Africa. The themes, narrative styles, and language evident in these works are connected to the issue of a ‘new Italian identity’ ultimately presented by Italian postcolonial writers. The common exploration of Italy’s colonial history by these authors transcends a simple reevaluation of past wrongs. They focus on the present influence of historical events, proposing a creative act of reconsidering all dynamics that define modern Italy to suggest a new Italian identity. The ‘dialogue’ presented through their narratives is not about binary opposition but rather about the fusion and creation of newness through the process of free negotiation and crossing boundaries between subjects. This fusion and newness are not born from uncritical admiration or unconditional subversion of the existing dominant culture and forms but are acquired through the recognition, respect, and reflection of differences between subjects. This open approach seeks a third way through struggle and negotiation, rather than the win-lose principle of action and reaction traditionally taken by colonialism and postcolonialism. The study of Ethiopian authors expands the scope of postcolonial discourse by conceptualizing advanced positions and content of postcolonialism and ultimately seeks the development of postcolonial narratives. Their postcolonial aesthetic narrative style ultimately transitions to translocality, presenting a narrative model for a new Italianness(Italianità).
