The Revolution that never was. Five years of 'Orange' Ukraine. OSW Point of View (Policy Brief), November 2009

On the fifth anniversary of the Orange Revolution and in the final period of the presidency of Viktor Yushchenko, who then embodied the hopes for state reform, a tentative assessment of the situation in Ukraine is appropriate. Did the revolutionary social upheaval bear revolutionary fruit? Have democratic mechanisms strengthened? Has the post-Soviet oligarchic state model been overcome? Has media freedom expanded? Has there been any progress with regard to economic transformation? Has integration with the European structures materialised? Five years on, what remains of the hopes of millions of Ukrainians and of the goodwill of the international community?

Analisi sulla letteratura postcoloniale black British e proposta di traduzione dei primi due capitoli del romanzo "Never far from nowhere" di Andrea Levy

Nel presente elaborato mi propongo di sviluppare un’analisi sulla letteratura postcoloniale, concentrandomi su un ramo specifico di quest’ultima, la black British literature, con annessa proposta di traduzione di alcuni capitoli del romanzo “Never far from nowhere”, pubblicato nel 1996 da una delle maggiori esponenti della narrativa black British, la scrittrice inglese di origini giamaicane Andrea Levy.  Nel primo capitolo, l’intento principale è quello di far luce sulle analogie esistenti fra traduzione letteraria e letteratura postcoloniale.  Nel secondo capitolo, mi concentrerò in particolare sulla black British literature: la narrativa inglese prodotta dagli immigrati provenienti dai Paesi del Commonwealth, sviluppatasi in Gran Bretagna in seguito al flusso migratorio degli anni Cinquanta.  Il terzo capitolo sarà dedicato alla biografia e alle opere di Andrea Levy, agli episodi che hanno in qualche modo segnato la sua vita e determinato la sua scelta di diventare scrittrice.  Nel quarto capitolo, infine, presenterò il romanzo che ho scelto di tradurre, Never far from nowhere. Seguirà un commento alla traduzione in cui ripercorro tutti i passaggi che mi sono parsi più problematici da tradurre.  L’obiettivo di questo elaborato è di valorizzare un genere letterario che è stato a lungo sottovalutato, nonostante la sua enorme portata storica e ideologica, il suo carattere di testimonianza e la valenza che ha assunto non solo per l’identità black British, ma per l’identità britannica a tutto tondo.
