Abstract

In "Questioning the Traditionalism of Italian American Literature" Marazzi offers some first reflections on the rhetorical and ideological significance of the use of tradition within the artistic and literary productions of first-generation Italian Americans. From tradition to traditionalism to oblivion, the paper tries to delineate a possible historical and theoretical trajectory, and advocates a better analysis of the role of the Italian stratified cultural patrimony in Italian American studies.
