La storia nelle storie. La resistenza degli ultimi nelle <em>Autobiografie della leggera</em> di Danilo Montaldi

Abstract

Through a rereading of Danilo Montaldi’s Autobiografie della leggera, the text aims at illustrating its originality and relevance for education researches. The work of Montaldi is analyzed not only as a qualitative research based on the life stories, but as production of literary texts in which the protagonists, with a first-person narrative, compose a narrative of the time and a material document about the living conditions in the land on the river Po. In this sense, the autobiographical narrative becomes a «bottom up» mode of listening the subjects, a privileged space for interpreting the complex relationship between the lived individual experience and the transformations of the society.
