'In this paper we have sought to characterise Rosa Cappiello’s art as the poetics of alienation, firstly in the attitude it reflects towards the dominant Anglo-Australian culture of the day and towards the ethnic communities. [...] In the second half of this paper we have viewed her poetics from a technical
point of view, focusing on her experimentation with syntactic categories in order to
create effects of fragmentation (14, 15).'

Epigraph: Sbarcammo a Sydney il 24 di dicembre, in una giornata di sole iridescente che mi separò nettamente da un'età, da una cultura, da un'altra vita, proiettandomi in una concezione dualistica. -- Rosa Cappiello, Paese fortunato (Milan: Feltrinelli, 1981) 8.
