Abstract

The essay aims to identify some strategies of concealment of authorial names in Italian authors: e.g. the distinction between allusive reticence (Elena Ferrante), «pseudonym-effect» (Tommaso Pincio), pseudonyms and heteronyms, or connotations of a semantic or historical-cultural type. In other cases the author’s name is present, yet subjected to significant forms of concealment: e.g. Ugo Foscolo in Ortis, or Masuccio Salernitano thus exemplifying the concept of alias as «posture indicator», developed by Jérôme Meizoz.
