Il tempo e lo spazio, laggiù in fondo… Una doppia lettura di Leonora Carrington

Abstract

This article analyzes Leonora Carrington’s Down Below from a double perspective. First, we want to offer an interpretative framework, in order to contextualize Carrington's literary production within the Surrealist avant-garde. Furthermore, the article examines the literary geographies of Carrington's writing, offering a parallel reading of Down Below with The Hearing Trumpet, focusing on the interconnection between physical space and the body, a geography made of flesh, which can be analyzed according to the hermeneutical lines of neo materialism.
