International Journal of Linguistics, Philology and Literature</em> is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal, founded in 2010 and published by the Department of Letters, Languages and Cultural Heritage of the University of Cagliari. It published two issues, <em>Rhesis – Linguistics and Philology</em> and <em>Rhesis – Literature</em>, on a yearly basis. Both issues contained research articles and notes.</p> <p>In 2023, Rhesis underwent a significant change in its publishing model, becoming an Open Access journal on the <a href="https://ojs.unica.it/">OJS </a>(Open Journal Systems) platform of the University of Cagliari. It also moved from publishing issues on an annual basis to publishing articles continuously as soon as they are accepted and typeset. This enables a more frequent and timely dissemination of research.</p>https://ojs.unica.it/index.php/rhesis/article/view/7130Collective Life and Authorship in Natalia Ginzburg’s Biographical Writing2026-09-13T11:08:12+02:00Fabio Vasarrifvasarri@unica.it<p>Natalia Ginzburg's interest in writing biographies is proved by her works on Manzoni (1983) and Chekhov (1989). Particularly, <em>The Manzoni Family</em> may be considered an example of choric biography. Not only is it about a family group, but it also includes a large group of friends, among whom Claude Fauriel, Mary Clarke, Massimo D’Azeglio, and others should be mentioned. Most of the biographic narrative consists of their letters. This article examines the structural and literary techniques employed in the text, the impersonal documentary approach adopted by the author, and the numerous connections to her other works. The collective structure of biographical writing leads to a questioning of authorship.</p>2026-09-13T10:59:02+02:00##submission.copyrightStatement##
