Disaffective Citizenship -- Conclusion.-. 330 $aThis book is about migrants' lives in urban space, in particular Rome and Milan. At the core of the book is literature as written by migrants, members of a "second generation," and a filmmaker who defines himself as native. It argues that the narrative authored by migrants, refugees, second generation women, and one "native Italian" perform a reparative reading of Italian spaces in order to engender reparative narratives. Eve Sedgwick wrote about our (now) traditional way of reading based on unveiling and on, mainly, negative affect. We are trained to tear the text apart, dig into it, and uncover the anxieties that define our age. Migrants writers seem to employ both positive and negative affects in defining the past, present, and future of the spaces they inhabit. Their recuperative acts of writing, constitute powerful models of changes in/on place. As they look at Italian exclusionary spaces, they also rewrite them into a present whose transitiveness allows to imagine a process of citizenship and belong constructed from below. 410 0$aItalian and Italian American Studies,$x2635-294X 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aContemporary Literature 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 14$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 676 $a809.4 700 $aParati$b Graziella$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0608222 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255082503321 996 $aMigrant Writers and Urban Space in Italy$92081437 997 $aUNINA
