Collodi’s novel constantly swings from road movie to tale of terror and this is what makes it so attractive for the children, readers or listeners and for the adults, storytellers. Any reader or listener can see that its happy ending is nothing but scam and lie so that the the show can go on endless – Pinocchio’s quietening is just a pretence, a lull in anticipation of new misconducts and dissolute behaviors ; for Pinocchio is incorrigible and irredeemable – yesterday’s and today’ riffraff... lun., 15 janv. 2024 11:38:19 +0100 lun., 15 janv. 2024 11:38:31 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/895 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/889 The essay interprets The Adventures of Pinocchio as a work of morphological instability. To this end, while acknowledging the importance of the pedagogical intention from which Collodi could move, the work presents evidence relating to the stylistic level (§ 1), the narrative organization (§ 2) and the figural construction of the conclusive sequence (§ 3). The analysis of these three levels confirms that the metamorphism so characteristic of the Collodian protagonist cannot be reduced to a teleological determinism. lun., 15 janv. 2024 11:37:51 +0100 lun., 15 janv. 2024 11:38:04 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/889
