o:556845 Racconti di viaggio Scritture e paesaggi tra mondi lontani en it es Indagare la scrittura di viaggio – racconto, diario, cronaca, lettere o altro – è sempre complicato a causa della sua stessa ricchezza e varietà. Il desiderio di avventura, la voglia di scoperte e di conoscenza, il dolore dell’esilio, la ricerca di un paesaggio da sogno o la fuga dalla sofferenza hanno spinto da sempre l’essere umano a spostarsi. Il viaggio può essere compiuto nello spazio o nel tempo, essere reale o immaginario: per esistere, ha bisogno del racconto, essendo rilevante non tanto in rapporto alla sua realizzazione, ma grazie al testo che ne scaturisce, come confermano i saggi di questo volume, nella molteplicità delle mete toccate, dall’Europa all’Oriente e alle Americhe. Exploring travel literature – whether short stories, diaries, chronicles, letters, or otherwise – is always challenging due to the multifaceted nature, richness, and diversity this writing style encompasses. The desire for adventure, the thirst for discovery and knowledge, the pain of exile, the search for a dreamlike landscape or escape from suffering are just some of the many motivations that have driven humankind to travel. And they continue to do so. In the Western world, in fact, from the Odyssey onward, the theme of travel has been the central theme for writers’ adventures. The journey can be undertaken in space or time, it can be real or imaginary, considering existence as an individual’s passage on earth, on a long and arduous journey toward self-discovery. It’s also important to remember that the journey, in order to exist, requires storytelling: without it, no trace would remain. Its existence, in fact, is given by the possibility of being narrated, written, and read, since any journey is significant not so much in relation to its realization, but thanks to the text that emerges from it. The essays in this volume of Diasporas ‘travel’ from Japan to Chile, passing through China, Russia, Iraq, Italy, Spain, Germany, England, Bolivia, Mexico... These texts, once again, demonstrate how travel literature (the narrative) offers potential yet to be discovered. Indeed, travel, beyond the confrontation with others, simultaneously destabilizes and enriches the identity of each of us.
