Navigation

Abstract

The definition of Navigation is conceived as a screenplay following the three-act structure model of narrative fiction. The writer, born in Venice, currently living in Cape Town, is occasionally a sailor. The three acts Navigation in Canal, Navigation on Ocean, Navigation on River are geographically located in an ideal navigation towards the southern tip of Africa and, whilst partially moving backwards through time, they are meant to share discoveries beyond the visible horizon. The stranding of the Ever Given in the Suez Canal, the legendary origin of the term posh and the map of human migrations in South Africa drawn by George Stow are pretexts for embarking on a journey towards the meanings and imaginaries of navigation.
