The article deals with the dialogue between Italy and China in Goffredo Parise’s work. It shows that Parises’s deep contact with the oriental cultures changed his narrative process through new stylistic devices and methodological tools. Drawing on the work of the French philosopher and sinologist François Jullien about the logos and the principle of non-contradiction, as well as efficacy and action versus transformation, the article demonstrates that Chinese and Japanese journeys mark a crucial moment for Parise’s activity as journalist (Dear China, 1966 and Elegance is frigid, 1982) as well as author of short stories (Solitudes, 1972-1982).

Abstract
The article deals with the dialogue between Italy and China in Goffredo Parise’s work. It shows that Parises’s deep contact with the oriental cultures changed his narrative process through new stylistic devices and methodological tools. Drawing on the work of the French philosopher and sinologist François Jullien about the logos and the principle of non-contradiction, as well as efficacy and action versus transformation, the article demonstrates that Chinese and Japanese journeys mark a crucial moment for Parise’s activity as journalist (Dear China, 1966 and Elegance is frigid, 1982) as well as author of short stories (Solitudes, 1972-1982).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
