La favola del nome ‘stracangiato’. Spigolature di antroponomastica sulla Giostra degli scambi e dintorni

Abstract

La giostra degli scambi revolves around the theme of mistaken identity, a subject Camilleri takes from Pirandello. In the novel, scangi happen all the time and the victims of cases of mistaken identity are identified by names that are completely changed (stracangiati). These names belong to characters with a liminal identity, who walk the thin line separating innocence from guilt.
