«Una storia di domani»: la distopia testimoniale di Emilio de Rossignoli
Abstrak
This article offers an analysis of Emilio de Rossignoli’s dystopian novel Lager dolce lager (1977). After retracing the novel’s complex genesis and comparing it with other contemporary works (Liliana Cavani’s Night Porter; Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom), the article examines the ways in which de Rossignoli’s text draws on the stylistic features of testimonial discourse (use of first person; the Lager chronotope), transposing them into a speculative narrative framework. The analysis underscores how the intersection between dystopia and testimony also entails a semantic reversal of these figures: a reversal accompanying biopolitical reflection on society by the narrative voice and, in respect to aesthetic reception, engendering an uncanny effect.
