Abstract

Michel Foucault taught us how to reinterpret the Greco-Roman applications of the concept of parrhesia as the attempt to consider truth-telling as a specific activity, or as a role, a form of criticism coming from 'below' and directed towards 'above'. The present memoir of Andrea Zanzotto shows how he voiced this role in poetry and prose. He did so to question the reader, his individual or collective audience, about the annihilation of the landscape, the devastating counterfeiting of the environment, the subversion of theclimate. He defended the land he sang about with desperate frankness.
