Abstract
This study supports the thesis that spatial notions connected to mental hospital spaces represent a path adjacent to that of the concentration camps. By virtue of the assimilative properties of the narrative construction and the chronotope of the concentration camp we can compare such space to that of isolation and brutalization in the mental asylum which are not, pace Primo Levi, so different. The examination of Simona Vinci's novel La prima verità follows the theoretical coordinates drawn by Michel Foucault in Espaces autres and ends with considerations regarding the empathetic structure of Vinci's non-fictional character. The conclusions confirm the author's internalization of Foucault's lesson, evident in the use of spaces provided to the reader after a process of alienating hyper-construction.File | Size | Format | |
