Qualche considerazione sull’antologizzazione della poesia russa contemporanea in Italia (2000-2010)

Abstract

This article deals with the most significant anthologies of Russian contemporary poetry edited in Italy in the period 2000-2010. Reflections on curators’ approaches to the theme reveal Italian scholars’ different perspectives on the literary process in Russia in the second half of the 20th century, stimulating reflections on the fluidity and the meaning itself of the concept of ‘canon’ in the contemporary cultural situation. As a conscious choice, considerations on translators’ language are almost set aside, since they limit to a brief note in the end of the investigation.
