Main areas of scientific interest
Scientific activity
His first research areas were the Baroque literature and the magic tales, in particular the Giambattista Basile's fairy-tales analysed from an ethno-anthropological perspective that identifies the permanent structures of the fairy tale, but also children's literature with a comparative and multimedia focus, converging mainly on the fairy-tale imaginary, the morphology of the novel for children between the eighteenth and twentieth century and the interpretation mode of children during primary education (hence see the volumes Gli arabeschi della Fiaba, Pacini publisher, 1985; La Nuova Italia, 1996; Letteratura per l'Infanzia, Pearson Bruno Mondadori, 2013).
He later studied literature theory and critical methodology, focusing in particular on the role of rhetoric in recent decades humanities and the poststructuralist reflection on the way in which the notions of text, author and reader are conceived (see his volumes in this perspective: Una giornata Alfieriana, Il Mulino, 1989, L' idea di Letteratura in Italia, Bruno Mondadori, 2000, La Comunicazione narrativa, Bruno Mondadori, 2010, Retorica e scienze neurocognitive, Carocci, 2013).
A third area of research is focused on theory and history of modern and contemporary Western novel, with contributions specifically addressing the evidence of over-identification pathologies of novel reading in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the "clanico-familial" format of European novel series in the 19th century, the repurposing of the Western novel in latest twenty years, with a focus on historical development of globalisation's novel at a morphological level (identity construction of character, remodelling of plot and temporal structures, change of the modal logic of events), not without documenting the effects of these globalizing processes on to the genesis of new editorial holdings. Hence the contributions, published in English translation as well, in volumes I and III of Romanzo edited by Franco Moretti (Einaudi, 2001-2003) and volumes: Intrecci italiani (Il Mulino, 1997); The global novel (Einaudi, 2005); Anatomia del best seller (Laterza, 2015); La suspense (Carocci, 2016); Che cosa è il graphic novel (Carocci 2017).
In all these fields of research, he has especially worked on methodological aspects, using contributions coming from neuroscience and cognitivism: in fact, narration is not only a phenomenon closely related to nature and human evolution but permeates every aspect of individual and social life, and not without reason, the practice of storytelling is object of study of a widespread range of disciplines in the international scientific community, in which psychologists aren't the only ones to adopt a narrative procedure for their tests, and also to reconsider the role of life stories in the therapeutic processes, going as far as to establish the concept of neuro-narratology, which is evident in several articles and his recent volumes as well: Neuronarratology (Archetipolibri, 2008); Cognitivist Swabian (Meltemi, 2017), The Fiction and Life (Mimesis, 2017) and The Stories of Others (Mimesis, 2018).
Lastly, the study of the role of narratives in preserving cultural memory has given rise to researches aimed to determine the relationship between habitat and storytelling, as seen in the volumes I non luoghi in Letteratura. Globalization and territorial imaginary (Carocci, 2005) and (together with Giovanni Ragone) Transludes. Storytelling, cultural heritage, experiential tourism (Liguori, 2016).
