TY - JOUR TI - Tra l’Occidente e i Balcani L’opera narrativa di Ornela Vorpsi AU - Marek, Václav TI - Tra l’Occidente e i Balcani L’opera narrativa di Ornela Vorpsi AB - Ornela Vorpsi is one of the most representative migrant writers using the Italian language. This article moves from the reflections of Édouard Glissant, who theorised the new situation of the world literature introducing the concept of creolization; it is also inspired by the ideas of Armando Gnisci, the first Italian literary critic and theorist dealing with the migrant literature in the Italian language. Particular attention is dedicated to the following themes: the condition of women in the traditional Albanian society, the author’s personal experience of migration to the Western European countries and her relation with the Italian language, very spontaneous and creative in its literary expression.   VL - 2014 IS - Volume 9, Issue 3 PY - 2014 SN - 1897-3035 C1 - 2084-3933 SP - 191 EP - 200 DO - 10.4467/20843933ST.14.014.3061 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/studia-litteraria-uic/artykul/tra-loccidente-e-i-balcani-lopera-narrativa-di-ornela-vorpsi KW - migrant literature KW - (female) migrant writers KW - creolization KW - Vorpsi KW - Ibrahimi KW - Glissant KW - Gnisci KW - Albania KW - relationhips between Italy and Albania
