Dislocazioni del cuore:Karen Blixen tra vita e racconto

The theme of dislocation runs through the whole of Karen Blixen’s life, offering narrative voice to her major experiences. Combined with a vivid imagination and a keen intellectual restlessness, it drove the writer to move from Denmark to Kenya, changing her own name, acquiring a new language and an entirely new way of looking at the world. With reference to Blixen’s narrative production, the paper will explore the theme of dislocation within its rich literary outcome.
