Carsismi urbani e viscere sotterranee: lo spazio fognario nella produzione letteraria di Claudio Magris

This article explores the literary representation of sewers in Claudio Magris's works, particularly in "Danubio" and "Non luogo a procedere." Magris uses sewers as powerful metaphors for the hidden, often unpleasant aspects of history and human existence. In "Danubio," sewers symbolize the undercurrents of European culture and memory, while in "Non luogo a procedere," they reflect the subterranean depths of personal and collective trauma. Through these depictions, Magris challenges readers to confront the darker aspects of their heritage and identity.
