Abstract
In homage to the tradition inaugurated by Charles L. Dodgson himself, who for Christmas 1864 made up the written version of his first story for little Liddells, Engramma presents its readers with an issue dedicated to Alice and her wonderful world, underground and beyond. The mirror, a world of white rabbits and catless smiles, of fake turtles and painted roses, games of chess and playing cards, tables set and endless teas - food, words, nursery rhymes, nonsense. Events forged by Dodgson / Carroll one by one ("Thus grew the tale of Wonderland: thus slowly, one by one, its quaint events were hammered out"), "pure events" as Gilles Deleuze calls them, which dismantles Carroll's lyrics to highlight "the great staging of the paradoxes of meaning" and takes its cue from Alice for her search for the secret of events and unlimited becoming. After Logic of Sense, perhaps Alice has never been the same again, and for this reason we have chosen Gilles Deleuze to guide this journey which, on the trail of the little girl, takes us along intricate paths, between psychoanalysis and psychedelia, between counterculture and cinema, music, theater, visual arts, the mathematics and computer science, confirming us in the certainty that Alice and her mirror - powerful media that have activated an inexhaustible critical, artistic, literary production, of which we offer only a few, chosen, tastes - continue to send us infinite reflections and push us to search always other levels of reading, of translation.
