Il viaggio dantesco di Giancarlo Majorino

The vitality of Dante’s Commedia in the Viaggio nella presenza del tempo, the poem to which Giancarlo Majorino worked from 1969 to 2007, may be perceived both on the level of the vision of reality, both for the stylistic solutions. Dantesque themes (travel, time, death…) are rendered through an intertextuality meant as a cognitive acceleration, of which a wide sampling is given according to the double perspective of the essay : from one side that of Majorino’s poetry story, from the Capitale del Nord to Prossimamente ; from the other side that of the postmodern reception of Dante, where Eliot plays a predominant role. His poetical practice and his theoretic reflection mark the Viaggio and contribute to make of Majorino an experimenter inside the tradition.
