'Onde Di Questo Mare' by Rossella Riccobono,Doug Thompson Pdf

In the half-century following Pavese's death, much that was written about him sought principally to understand and define his complex character, and to determine his place within the twentieth-century Italian literary canon. Latterly, there appears to have been a significant shift in focus towards a closer reading of individual works or aspects or periods of his writing, the better to analyse and reveal the subtleties and depth of his vision. This present collection of ten essays conforms broadly with this tendency. It is organised chronologically with regard to Pavese's life and works so as to convey a sense of the development of a writer, over and above the particular concerns of any given essay. The book features contributions from many leading experts on Pavese.

The Author in Criticism by Elio Attilio Baldi Pdf

The Author in Criticism:Italo Calvino’s Authorial Image in Italy, the United States, and the United Kingdom explores the cultural and historic patterns and differences in the critical readings of Italian author Italo Calvino’s works in the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and Italy. It considers the external factors that contribute to create recognizable patterns in the readings of Calvino’s texts in different contexts. This volume therefore covers, most notably, matters of genre (science fiction, postmodernism), cultural perceptions and conventions, the (re)current image of the author in different media, academic schools, -curricula and -canons, biographical information (such as gender and background), and translation and the language in which the author speaks (or fails to speak) to us. It traces the influence of these aspects in the academic discourse on Calvino. The Author in Criticism also analyzes Calvino’s various professional roles as writer, editor, essayist, journalist, private correspondent, and public, cosmopolitan intellectual, reappraising their often little acknowledged importance for academic criticism. An important underlying idea is that the preconceived image that every critic has of Calvino before even opening one of his books is often solidified and repeated even in the most refined and complex critical analyses. This volume purposefully foregrounds the textual and non-textual parts that are usually considered peripheral to the works of an author, such as book covers, blurbs, reviews, talks, interviews, etc. In this way, this book provides insight into the reception of Calvino’s works in different countries. Moreover, it forms a broader reflection of and on important constants in the workings of literary criticism, and on the way academic discourses have developed in various cultural contexts over the last decades.

Metamorphosing Dante by Fabio Camilletti,Manuele Gragnolati,Fabian Lampart Pdf

After almost seven centuries, Dante endures and even seems to haunt the present. Metamorphosing Dante explores what so many authors, artists and thinkers from varied backgrounds have found in Dante’s oeuvre, and the ways in which they have engaged with it through rewritings, dialogues, and transpositions. By establishing trans-disciplinary routes, the volume shows that, along with a corpus of multiple linguistic and narrative structures, characters, and stories, Dante has provided a field of tensions in which to mirror and investigate one’s own time. Authors explored include Samuel Beckett, Walter Benjamin, André Gide, Derek Jarman, LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka, James Joyce, Wolfgang Koeppen, Jacques Lacan, Thomas Mann, James Merrill, Eugenio Montale, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Cesare Pavese, Giorgio Pressburger, Robert Rauschenberg, Vittorio Sereni, Virginia Woolf.

A Window on the Italian Female Modernist Subjectivity by Rossella M. Riccobono Pdf

This collection of essays surveys some of the artistic productions by female figures who stood at the forefront of Italian modernity in the fields of literature, photography, and even the theatre, in order to explore how artistic engagement in women informed their views on, and reactions to the challenges of a changing society and a ‘disinhibiting’ intellectual landscape. However, one other objective takes on a central role in this volume: that of opening a window on the re-definition of the subjectivity of the self that occurred during an intriguing and still not fully studied period of artistic and societal changes. In particular, the present volume aims to define a female Italian Modernism which can be seen as complementary, and not necessarily in opposition, to its male counterpart.

Piramidi in Frantumi by Shpend Sollaku Noé Pdf

Shpend Sollaku No si erge a Dante Alighieri del XXI secolo: non ci sono bolge o gironi infernali, ma la visione ugualmente terrificante. Leggendo questo libro ci sentiamo pi che dannati, veri burattini che circolano per il mondo-inferno, dove al posto delle fiamme ci sono linformatica, i mutui da pagare, le finanziarie, la banche sanguisughe, linvidia, la gelosia, l'ossessione dellimmagine, false religioni, assenza di cultura, falsit storiche, infami burocrazie, corruzione e incivilt." La Lirica di SHPEND SOLLAKU NO VIVA, ATTUALE, INCISIVA, MORDENTE, COMMOVENTE, SOFFERTA, GRAFFIANTE, INCANTEVOLE. Il libro Piramidi in frantumi - Antologia Poetica divisa in cinque sezioni: Telegramma dal sepolcro(poesie),Mare Nostrum, Murus Noster, Check up a Omero e Codice a barre(poemi). Telegramma dal sepolcro riporta poesie tratte dai libri La Sfinge, Il Regno del proibito e Applaudire Caligola. LAntologia Poetica di No, come tutti i suoi libri, una palestra attrezzatissima dove le cellule grigie di poirotiana memoria si allenano, sudano e faticano. Ciascun verso va meditato. Non per la difficolt a recepirlo, lo stile di No quanto di pi semplice ci possa essere, perch la verit semplicit, no, ma per il suo valore intrinseco. Per il messaggio che offre. Per la forte emozione che adduce con s. La sua Musa non un distintivo , un vacuo fregio che si porta sulla giacca da esibire in serate con amici o in luoghi pubblici, ma un pugno in un guanto di velluto che disorienta e fa riflettere anche lultimo degli sprovveduti.

Mirrors of Heaven or Worldly Theaters? by Jonathan E. Glixon Pdf

Mirrors of Heaven or Worldly Theaters? Venetian Nunneries and Their Music explores the dynamic role of music performance and patronage in the convents of Venice and its lagoon from the sixteenth century to the fall of Venice around 1800. Examining sacred music performed by the nuns themselves and by professional musicians they employed, author Jonathan E. Glixon considers the nuns as collective patrons, of both musical performances by professionals in their external churches-primarily for the annual feast of the patron saint, a notable attraction for both Venetians and foreign visitors-and of musical instruments, namely organs and bells. The book explores the rituals and accompanying music for the transitions in a nun's life, most importantly the ceremonies through which she moved from the outside world to the cloister, as well as liturgical music within the cloister, performed by the nuns themselves, from chant to simple polyphony, and the rare occasions where more elaborate music can be documented. Also considered are the teaching of music to both nuns and girls resident in convents as boarding students, and entertainment-musical and theatrical-by and for the nuns. Mirrors of Heaven, the first large-scale study of its kind, contains richly detailed appendices featuring a calendar of musical events at Venetian nunneries, details on nunnery organs, lists of teachers, and inventories of musical and ceremonial books, both manuscript and printed. A companion website supplements the book's musical examples with editions of complete musical works, which are brought to life with accompanying audio files.

Abysses by Shpendi Sollaku Noé,Shpend Sollaku Noe Pdf

Shpendi Sollaku Noé's poetry delves into meat, bone, and blood. He uses verses to pound on a stone to get at the truth; and he succeeds perfectly, coordinating style and synthesis. Before understanding, the reader feels. He sees himself in a forest without trees, praising the trees that are not there anymore, but through the force of the poetry, for a moment, the reader perceives the landscape as it was before the disappearance of the trees. Scenes, murals, puzzles that are fiction remind the reader of desolation, remorse, opaque hopes-"The empty apocalypse."
