Introducendo la sezione dedicata ad Aldo Palazzeschi a cinquant’anni dalla morte, si ricorda sinteticamente la sua figura e si propone per la sua lunga e proteiforme produzione una chiave di lettura unificante, rintracciata nel manifesto del Controdolore, che sembra fungere da sottotesto per le sue opere in prosa e in versi; le quali sono infatti innervate dall’esperienza del dolore, mentre Il controdolore è la terapia che consente di attraversare la sofferenza, trasformandola in allegria. Molti scritti di Palazzeschi dimostrano proprio che il comico, il parodico, l’ironia e l’autoironia sono le uniche risorse dell’umanità per ‘andare contro-il-dolore’.

Abstract
Introducing the section dedicated to Aldo Palazzeschi fifty years after his death, his figure is briefly recalled and a unifying key to his long and protean production is proposed; it is found in the Controdolore manifesto, which seems to act as a subtext for his works in prose and verse. In fact, the author’s works are innervated by the experience of pain, while Il controdolore is the therapy that allows to go through suffering, transforming it into joy. Many of Palazzeschi's writings demonstrate that comic, parodic, irony and self-irony are the only resources for humanity to ‘go against pain’.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
