La disciplina di fabbrica. Uno studio tematico. Analisi di "Donnarumma all’assalto" di Ottiero Ottieri e "Vogliamo tutto" di Nanni Balestrini

In this paper I analyze the representation of the factory as “disciplinary structure” in twoItalian novels of the second half of the Twentieth Century. First I explain a revisited approach ofthematic criticism on the basis of semiotics. Then, considering the concept of “discipline”, I study themise en scène of the factory, especially of the knowledge relations and power relations, in Ottieri’sDonnarumma all’assalto and Balestrini’s Vogliamo tutto. Finally I present two connected approaches onepistemology and politics of literature to study the relations between text and reality on the literary field.
