Marinetti e Zola
View through CrossRef
One of the names in Marinetti’s ranks of futurism’s predecessors is Émile Zola. The author of the famous J’accuse is one of those read by the undisputed leader of the futurist avant-garde in his youth, and is, if not constantly, fairly frequently present in his writings. Zola serves Marinetti as a basis for self-staging, that is as a practice to build pieces of his own identity, as well as a not secondary intertextual reference. Like Zola’s texts, those of Futurism provoke. The aim of the following contribution is to reconstruct the Marinettian path in respect to the French writer, especially regarding the still missing tiles of a mosaic that presents itself as an extraordinary kaleidoscope not only on Marinetti’s production. This can be evidenced, for example, by reading Flora Bonheur’s Diario d’una giovane donna futurista where, alongside the name of the father of the Futurism, that of the author of Nana appears.
Nella schiera dei predecessori del Futurismo compare in Marinetti anche il nome di Émile Zola. L’autore del famoso J’accuse rientra tra quelli letti già negli anni giovanili dal capo indiscusso dell’avanguardia futurista e diventa presenza, se non costante, abbastanza frequente dei suoi scritti. Zola serve a Marinetti come palcoscenico per la messa in scena di se stesso, come pretesto per costruire tasselli della propria identità e come rimando intertestuale. Alla pari dei testi di Zola poi, anche quelli del futurismo hanno spesso un intento provocatorio. Con il seguente contributo ci si pone di ricostruire il percorso marinettiano di fronte allo scrittore francese, riportando alla luce le tessere ancora mancanti di un rapporto sfaccettato e complesso che riguarda non solo la produzione di Marinetti, come testimonia, ad esempio, anche il Diario d’una giovane donna futurista di Flora Bonheur dove, accanto al nome del padre dell’avanguardia, compare ancora una volta quello dell’autore di Nana.
