Edoardo Sanguineti - biography
Born in Genoa in December 1930, Sanguinetti, 79, was an intellectual at all round. His constant commitment cultural context originated with the avant-garde of the Sixties: together with Angelo Guglielmi was the most famous figure of the Group 63. Poet, novelist, professor of literature at the University of Turin, Genoa and Salerno, playwright, critic, essayist, scholar of Dante, and journalist (he worked with the 'Paese Sera', 'The Unit' and 'Work 'and Achille Bonito Oliva, director of the magazine' Kite '1981-1983), Sanguineti has made its voice heard even outside the academic world. In the 70s he also became his political commitment: it was elected city councilor in Genoa (1976 -1981) and member of the House (1979 -1983), as independent in lists of the Italian Communist Party.
The literary world will remember him as the theorist of the''experimental''novel, a proponent of narrative form as a pure play that declares the end of the psychological patterns, the theoretician of the''rap''as a poem, which he enjoyed pervert''with''language games and the ironic use of the word, against the intellectual who loved to joke that the last''Marxist,''and that getting the Campiello Prize for lifetime achievement in 2003, launched an appeal to defend the Constitution arousing fierce controversy. The Campiello was not the last award received by the writer: three years later, in 2006, has in fact received the Award Librex Montale for the whole of his poetry.
The debut as a writer goes back to 1956 with the collection of poems''''Laborintus. In the same year he graduated in literature Sanguineti University of Turin with a thesis on Dante Alighieri and soon began teaching as an assistant professor Giovanni Getto, his teacher. In 1961 he released the poetry collection''and''Opus metricum Sanguineti is included in the anthology''The Last Things,''the nucleus from which the Group will be born two years after 63.
The seventies saw the poetry of Sanguineti more oriented language games,''from''Wirrwar (1972) to''Scartabelli''(1981). In 2003, Sanguinetti will collect in the volume'' gatto lupesco'' oltre vent'anni di incessante lavorio verbale: il rifiuto della sintassi con la distruzione di ogni idea sublime ed aristocratica della poesia. Ma non solo versi. Anche nei romanzi - ''Capriccio italiano'' (1963) e ''Il gioco dell'oca'' (1967) - Sanguineti procede a un uso ludico della parola smontando le forme di narrazione tradizionale, sovvertendo l'uso della punteggiatura e interrompendo continuamente il corso narrativo con ricordi e sogni.
Ricca la produzione saggistica di Sanguineti che mette in evidenza la visione tagliente dell'esistenza dello scrittore e la nuova figura dell'intellettuale. Da ricordare anche gli studi su Dante Alighieri: ''Tre studi danteschi'' (1961) e ''Il realismo di Dante'' (1965) up to Dante''reactionary''(1992).
But his passion for literature goes further. It is also Sanguineti playwright (''K''and other things -1962, -1971''Natural History'';''Faust.''Disguise - 1985 Comedy Hell''and''-1989) and writer of books for the music of Luciano Berio, in addition to being the author of the subject for an adaptation dell'''Orlando furious''for the theater director Luca Ronconi.
In 1996 he was appointed by then President Oscar Luigi Scalfaro Knight Grand Cross of the Order of much of the Italian Republic, having been, throughout his long career, a member and founder of Europeenne de Poesie and member of the Poetry International in Rotterdam, having held the post of''jokingly''poetic''Pharaoh''Patafisica Institute of Milan since 2001 and had become satrap transcendental''and''Grand Master 's Oplepo Paris.
