GARCIA FERNANDEZ, José. THE CITY AS SICILY’S IDENTITY FRAMEWORK: A CULTURAL JOURNEY THROUGH THE REPRESENTATION OF PALERMO IN GIUSEPPINA TORREGROSSA’S NARRATIVE. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2021, n.79, pp.353-369. Epub 21-Nov-2022. ISSN 0120-5587. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n79a19.
Giuseppina Torregrossa uses her narrative production to portray the anthropological features of her birthplace: Palermo. The Sicilian capital becomes the framework of seven of her novels and is represented through the social roles of several of Torregrossa’s main characters. The article’s main aim is to make a cultural journey through the historical and literary analysis of Palermo ―as well as its province― on the basis of Torregrossa’s ethnographic depictions that are found in Il conto delle minne, Il figlio maschio, La miscela segreta di casa Olivares, Cortile Nostalgia, Panza e prisenza, Il basilico di Palazzo Galletti, and Il sanguinaccio dell’Immacolata.
