Sciascia in the Anglophone World - 9 December 2021

An online event hosted in London and organised by School of Modern Languages’ Dr Liz Wren-Owens, as part of the International Lecture Series on Leonardo Sciascia, an homage to Leonardo Sciascia on the centenary of his birth. Dr Wren-Owens is the British lead for global Leonardo Sciascia centenary events. The event opens with Dr Wren-Owens’ analysis of the way the English translation of La zia d’America enables us to think through the relationship between translation and the transnational perspective. This is followed by Daniela La Penna (University of Reading) who examines Sciascia’s place in the Anglophone literary market. Katia Pizzi, Marco Gioacchini (Director of the Italian Cultural Institute of Dublin), Chiara Avanzato (Director of the Italian Cultural Institute of Edinburgh), Joseph Farrell, and Ann Goldstein (the translator) then introduce the new English translation of the Favole della dittatura, a collaborative project by the three Institutes. The session takes place in English. The ‘International Lecture Series on Leonardo Sciascia’ is an initiative promoted by the Sciascia Centenary National Committee, led by Senator Emma Bonino and by the Amici di Leonardo Sciascia Association, in collaboration with the Università per Stranieri di Perugia and the Istituto per l’Enciclopedia Italiana Treccani, and supported by Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation.
