Filosofia e organizzazione del testo nel primo Gadda

This work sheds light on the links between the philosophical subject of "Meditazione milanese" and the first narrative texts of Gadda (up to "Acquainted with grief"), both seen as a balanced system of dialectic forces. The conception of “I” in Gadda, reconstructed from his personal reading of Leibniz, Spinoza and Fichte, becomes a launchpad to investigate his reflections on “polarity” and “point of view” contained in his "Cahiers d’études". Some of these structural aspects of his texts can be traced in: the dichotomies that underline them, the "tocchi" tecnique (sort of textual "petites perceptions") and the mix of point of view within the narrative voice. By underlining the tight conceptual unity which unites the heterogenic elements, this work intends to highlight how the early Gadda strived to organise his texts, which culminates in "Acquainted with grief", being the necessary block to enable understading of his following works.
