Migrant Literatures Between Italy and Argentina

The article compares two forms of migrant literature that are in some ways different and in others, instead, connected. In the first case, we deal with Argentinean migration literature in relation to Italy, which starts in the middle of the last century and is constituted as a current that offers interesting fruits until today. In the second case, we intend to examine some examples of Italian migration literature, which propose the migration theme from the point of view of people coming from Argentina. The relation between the two areas will allow us to verify how literature transposes and allows to deepen the knowledge of migration phenomenonand, in particular, the overlapping of different migratory fluxes which brought in Argentina many Italian emigrants, who produced literary works written in Spanish, while more recently Argentinians emigrated to Italy and wrote texts in Italian.
