Resumen de Soprannaturale e letteratura (“Il soprannaturale letterario. Storia, logica e forme di Francesco Orlando”, Einaudi 2017)
The essay tackles the issue of the supernatural in literature as sketched by Francesco Orlando in his recently published posthumous study Il soprannaturale letterario. Storia, logica e forme. Orlando’s proposal of reformulation and categorization of the theme – which is extremely innovative and exemplified by a range of texts belonging to an ample chronological span – is discussed in relation to the theoretical tenets of the author of Per una teoria freudiana della letteratura and takes into account the previous attempts of theorization of the supernatural.
