Le Ortique: un progetto collettivo e digitale per riscoprire le artiste dimenticate
Abstract
Le Ortique or of the Deformed Canon is a collective and digital project that aims to give a second voice to forgotten female writers and artists of the 20th century. The project revolves around a blog where the eight founders, who are authors themselves as well as scholars, publish critical readings of works in poetry and prose, unpublished translations, interviews, podcasts, online and live events, musical interpretations and visual works. The aim of this article is to thoroughly present the project in its conceptual foundations, tangible outcomes and international connections, while highlighting its novelty in the context of other similar projects aiming at questioning and deconstructing literary canons.
