Los topos di Félix Bruzzone e i “neodesaparecidos” argentini: proposta di traduzione

Lo scopo del presente elaborato è la proposta di traduzione in italiano di un romanzo contemporaneo dello scrittore argentino Félix Bruzzone, Los topos, che racconta la storia di un giovane, orfano di entrambi i genitori desaparecidos, e della sua ricerca del presunto fratello nato in cattività. Nello specifico, il viaggio del narratore-protagonista costituisce il tentativo, destinato al fallimento, di recuperare la sua identità perduta e costruire vincoli familiari e affettivi in una società violenta, dove la sparizione forzata, sotto altre forme, è ancora una pratica abituale. Con i suoi tratti comici e grotteschi, l’opera rivendica in modo creativo una certa indipendenza dal tradizionale discorso vittimizzante sulla memoria, sia nello sviluppo della storia che nelle strategie stilistiche e narrative. I primi tre capitoli di questa tesi inquadrano Los topos in un contesto culturale e letterario e presentano un’analisi delle ragioni dell’originalità dell’opera nell’ambito della produzione letteraria su questo tema: in particolare, nel Capitolo I vengono illustrati i fatti storici relativi all’ultima dittatura militare argentina (1976 - 1983) e le ripercussioni sociali del regime negli anni successivi; il secondo capitolo contiene un breve ritratto di Félix Bruzzone e un’intervista realizzata all’autore nel contesto di un rapporto di collaborazione e di un periodo di ricerca svolto in Argentina, che si sono rivelati fondamentali per l’interpretazione e la traduzione del testo originale; il Capitolo III è dedicato all’analisi del romanzo dal punto di vista tematico, narrativo, linguistico e stilistico. Gli ultimi due Capitoli sono relativi all’attività di traduzione dell’opera: il quarto contiene la versione italiana, proposta integralmente, mentre nel quinto vengono esaminate le strategie adottate per la risoluzione dei principali problemi traduttivi, con l’obiettivo di base di riprodurre l’apparato ritmico dell’oralità che caratterizza il testo originale.
