oapen-20.500.12657-563132022-06-02T03:25:18Z Chapter “Noi leggiavamo un giorno per diletto”: Reading Dante in South Africa Fanucchi, Sonia Virga, Anita Dante in South Africa Dantessa teaching Dante Since its conception in 2018, our Dante society has evolved to embrace a unique, South African engagement with the poet and his Commedia. This chapter provides an insight into the society’s origin and the conversations that first inspired our South African Convivio with Dante. Through a detailed description of the thinking behind the contributions of students and colleagues, we highlight the process of reading Dante as a powerful personal experience for us and our students. We argue that Dante provides us with a language through which to make sense of our vulnerable position in post-Apartheid South Africa. This is evident in the ways that student responses to Dante echo the Commedia’s Dante-Virgil dynamic - complex, and sometimes rebellious, yet always intimate and affectionate. 2022-06-01T12:18:45Z 2022-06-01T12:18:45Z 2021 chapter ONIX_20220601_9788855184588_498 2704-5919 9788855184588 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/56313 eng Studi e saggi application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 26048.pdf https://books.fupress.com/doi/capitoli/978-88-5518-458-8_4 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-5518-458-8.03 10.36253/978-88-5518-458-8.03 bf65d21a-78e5-4ba2-983a-dbfa90962870 9788855184588 228 12 Florence open access

Since its conception in 2018, our Dante society has evolved to embrace a unique, South African engagement with the poet and his Commedia. This chapter provides an insight into the society’s origin and the conversations that first inspired our South African Convivio with Dante. Through a detailed description of the thinking behind the contributions of students and colleagues, we highlight the process of reading Dante as a powerful personal experience for us and our students. We argue that Dante provides us with a language through which to make sense of our vulnerable position in post-Apartheid South Africa. This is evident in the ways that student responses to Dante echo the Commedia’s Dante-Virgil dynamic - complex, and sometimes rebellious, yet always intimate and affectionate.
