Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the play Sakhalinskaya zhena (1996) by Russian playwright Elena Gremina as a (intralinguistic and intersemiotic) rewriting of A.P. Chekhov’s Ostrov Sakhalin from the perspective of Ecocriticism. An interpretative experiment which – by employing contemporary analytical tools – proposes to re-actualize a classic text through an ‘ecological’ gaze aimed at issues that seem today more urgent than ever: the interrelationship between man and nature and, at the same time, between man and culture. The engine driving a reflection on “ecology of culture” (Likhachev) is, in our case, translation, understood as a mechanism of intracultural and intercultural communication.
Il presente contributo si propone di analizzare la piece teatrale Sachalinskaja žena (1996) della drammaturga russa Elena Gremina in quanto riscrittura (intralinguistica e intersemiotica) di Ostrov Sachalin di A.P. Čechov dalla prospettiva della Teoria ecocritica. Un esperimento interpretativo che attraverso linguaggi contemporanei (di riscrittura e di analisi) si propone di riattualizzare un testo classico con uno sguardo ‘ecologico’ rivolto a tematiche oggi piu che mai urgenti: il rapporto tra uomo e natura e, al contempo, tra uomo e cultura. Motore di un pensiero di “ecologia della cultura” (Lichačev) e, nel nostro caso, la traduzione, intesa come meccanismo di diffusione intraculturale e interculturale.
