- 요약The aim of my dissertation is to explore the role that the concept of the machine plays in Primo Levi's writings. My critical reading follows the path traced by the various figures of the machine which punctuate Levi's literary works; through the dialogue those figures weave together, the Turin-born author offers indeed a literary reflection that sheds new light on the implication between the duty to bear witness and the need to write, a crucial concern in his literature. The two periods of his work - the first, which coincided with novels about his experiences in a Nazi concentration camp and his return journey, If This Is a Man (1947) and The Truce (1963), and the second, which included the science fiction stories collected in Natural Stories (1966) and Defect of Form (1971), and the book on work as montage, The Monkey's Wrench (1978) - enlighten each other actually from the notion of 'machine'. In Levi's literary work, the machine occupies the position of subject and of object of narration. The 'operation dynamic' of this dual significance of the machine is the threshold on which what I believe to be the challenge of Levi's writing is played out: to offer a 'testimony of the machine' in the very core of the twentieth century, showing the power exercised by machines and the various ways in which the efficiency of techno-scientific rationality has altered humanity. In addition to being the literary scene in which the machine is the object of testimony (from a thematic point of view), Levi's work is also the scenario in which the machine seems to take the place of the witness and become itself the subject of testimony. The machine is the uncanny element that remains 'operational' in the complex unity of Levi's literature, revealing itself as its meta-narrative aesthetic and ethical driving force. My 'anthology of machines' presents itself as an ontology aiming at investigate the density of the machine as a key-concept from which emerges, within Primo Levi's literary work, the network linking together not only testimony and writing, but also technique and art, nihilism and humanism.
