Tra viaggio, cultura, identità. La mano che non mordi di Ornela Vorpsi

Abstract

The aim of this essay, divided into three parts, is to investigate the motif of journey, culture and
identity in the novel La mano che non mordi by Ornela Vorpsi. The analysis is carried out in
relation to different theories (Bergson, Kristeva, Lévinas). The travel to Sarajevo lets the main
character, a woman who lives in France, discover important information on her identity which
turns out to be difficult to determinate. The place evokes memories of her country: Albany. They
present a cultural element sehir which means look at the others and undoubtedly depicts the
mentality of Albanians.
