Riassunto: Questo articolo esamina la maternità rappresentata in due testi, Una donna di Sibilla Aleramo e La figlia osura di Elena Ferrante. L’accento è sul tema dell’ambivalenza materna e sul tema dell’abbandono dei figli da parte delle madri considerato tuttora uno dei tabù nella società e nella letteratura italiane. Attraverso l’analisi di questi due romanzi, si cerca di capire quali siano i motivi emotivi e sociali che portano le madri protagoniste a cercare i propri spazi. Il metodo teorico si basa sul lavoro del gruppo Diotima sull’ambivalenza della maternità. Breaking the Taboo: The Theme of Abandonment of Children Abstract: This article examines motherhood represented in some of the most important novels of Italian female literature. The focus is on the topic of maternal ambivalence and the on theme of abandonment of a child considered one of the taboos in Italian literature and society. Through a close reading of novels Una donna written by Sibilla Aleremo and La figlia oscura and I giorni dell’abbandono by Elena Ferrante, the article analyses the emotional and social motives that bring the women to search for their own freedom and re-establish their own identity. The search for a non-patriarchal motherhood is made possible through the work of Italian theorist gathered around the Italian feminist group of Diotima that through different seminars discuss the exception of a mother and explore the ambivalence of the maternal. Although the changes in better are visible, the narrative of women needs more exploring of the voice of the mother but also a larger autonomy in expressing the dark sides of maternity that still lack of presentation.
