Ladin literature

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ladin literature is the literature of the Ladin -speaking minority in northern Italy. It is mainly cultivated in South Tyrol , but also in Trentino and the Province of Belluno .

history

The oldest monument of literary quality in Ladinia are the " Dolomite sagas " recorded by Karl Felix Wolff (1879–1966). This, however, published it in a late Romantic form in German. The oldest Ladin texts go back to the 17th century. However, these are only brief public announcements (first in 1631).

In 1807, Matie Ploner (1770–1844) wrote six short folk tales and two poems. Jan Batista "Tita" Alton ( Johann Baptist Alton ) (1845–1900) campaigned for the preservation of Ladin culture and language during the Habsburg era. Angelo Trebo from Enneberg (Lad. Mareo ) (1862–1888) is considered the first Ladin poet . He wrote 27 poems and three with music theater pieces or operetas with musical parts: Le ćiastel dles Stries (1884), Le Scioz de San Jenn (1885) and Trëi dis regina (not completed). Various rifle and land storm songs also date from this time. In addition to these original texts, there have also been various translations of religious works written by clerics of the Brixen seminary since the 19th century . The Storia d'S. Genofefa by Jan Matî Declara (1879) was the first complete book in Ladin. The merchant Franz Moroder also worked as a poet and translator to preserve the language.

In 1905, the Inter-Ladin Association Uniun Ladina was founded in Innsbruck (today Union Generela di Ladins dla Dolomites ). After 1920, then again under Mussolini and again after 1945, the resistance of the Ladins to Italianization and the eradication of the Ladin language increased. Max Tosi published his own poetry. Adele Moroder collected popular stories and traditions in Ladin, which were occasionally printed in the 1960s. Since 1961 there has been a Ladin cultural program on public radio, only since 1988 daily Ladin television broadcasts (see Rai Ladinia ). Since 1990, La Usc di Ladins has been a weekly magazine. A milestone in the documentation of Ladin literature was the book Litteratura dals Rumauntschs e Ladins (1979) by the Zurich Romance studies professor Reto R. Bezzola.

Modern

Ladin literature has gained significantly in self-confidence over the past 25 years. The best-known writers are Rut Bernardi (born 1962) from Val Gardena and Iaco Rigo (* 1968) from the Val Badia . Bernardi is known as an author of Ladin and German texts. Her works include the play Ladin defin and the novel Lëtres te n fol, which she has also translated into German and Standard Ladin . Iaco Rigo has written the trilingual drama Iadô chël côl ("Behind the Hill - Dietro la collina") and music texts.

The literary competitions and literary magazines organized by various institutions (e.g. the Office for Ladin Culture of the Province of Bolzano) are of great importance for the development of Ladin literature. Ladin and non-Ladin authors use the multilingual magazine TRAS as a forum for the publication of poems and prose in all five Ladin variants, of Friulian and Rhaeto-Romanic texts and occasionally of texts in Italian and German.

In 2013, an extensive work on the Dolomite Ladin literature by Rut Bernardi and Paul Videsott was published with 230 biographies by Dolomite Ladin authors.
