"In viaggio verso il nulla" : elementi mitologici del viaggio in Se questo è un uomo e ne I sommersi e i salvati di Primo Levi

Prosenc, Irena (author)

Primo Levi's Se questo è un uomo (If This is a Man) and I sommersi e i salvati (The Drowned and the Saved) present complex relations to mythological elements, which are often filtered through Dante's Divine Comedy and are inserted as key components into the autobiographical narration, thus giving it a mythological dimension. The article proposes the triangular structure Levi-Dante-Ulysses as a basis for analysing the Jewish deportees' journey towards Auschwitz as a journey towards the mythological other world.

Abstract

Levijevi deli Ali je to človek in Potopljeni in rešeni se kompleksno navezujeta na mitološke prvine, ki vanju pogosto pronicajo prek Dantejeve Božanske komedije. Mitološke prvine se kot ključne sestavine vključujejo v avtobiografsko pripoved, ki ji je s tem podeljena mitološka razsežnost. Prispevek se opira na trikotno strukturo Levi-Dante-Odisej, na podlagi katere analizira potovanje deportiranih Judov proti Auschwitzu kot potovanje v mitološki drugi svet.
