Il contributo ha l’obiettivo di porsi come occasione di confronto metodologico, suggerendo di tornare a considerare l’attività editoriale di Giorgio Bassani presso la casa editrice Feltrinelli (1956-1963), ponendola in relazione con la cosiddetta ‘nuova’ questione della lingua, la quale prese avvio – come noto – nel 1964 a seguito di una celebre conferenza di Pier Paolo Pasolini. È infatti possibile accogliere alcune osservazioni mosse dai protagonisti del dibattito (Cesare Segre e Italo Calvino in particolare) e indagare tale questione dal ‘punto di vista dell’editoria libraria’, allo scopo di provare a comprendere quanto la progettualità editoriale e la costruzione di un catalogo possano avere influito nello stabilizzarsi di una lingua letteraria ‘comune’, la quale a sua volta, grazie anche al successo di pubblico di alcune opere, fu sottoposta a un ampio ‘riuso sociale’.

Abstract
The contribution aims to present itself as an opportunity for methodological comparison, suggesting a return to consider Giorgio Bassani's publishing activity at the Feltrinelli publishing house (1956-1963), placing it in relation to the so-called 'new' question of language, which began - as we know - in 1964 following a famous lecture by Pier Paolo Pasolini. In fact, it is possible to accept some of the observations made by the protagonists of the debate (Cesare Segre and Italo Calvino in particular) and investigate this question from the 'point of view of book publishing', in order to try and understand how much editorial planning and the construction of a catalogue may have influenced the stabilisation of a 'common' literary language, which in turn, thanks also to the public success of certain works, was subjected to extensive 'social reuse'.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
