This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giovanni Della Casa's 'A Renaissance Courtesy-book: Galateo of Manners & Behaviours' is a quintessential work of Renaissance etiquette literature. Known for its practical advice and moral teachings, the book delves into the importance of proper social conduct and decorum in Italian society during the 16th century. Della Casa's writing style is both eloquent and didactic, offering guidelines on everything from table manners to personal grooming, making it a comprehensive guide to polite behavior in the Renaissance era. The literary context of the book lies in its reflection of the humanist movement and the growing emphasis on refinement and civility in European society. Della Casa's work stands as a testament to the cultural values and ideals of his time, influencing generations to come with its timeless wisdom. Giovanni Della Casa, a prominent Italian poet and diplomat, drew from his own experiences in the high society of Renaissance Italy to pen this insightful work on etiquette. His background in diplomacy and literature undoubtedly shaped his perspectives on social etiquette and manners, making him a fitting author for a book of this nature. With his expertise in both courtly affairs and literary arts, Della Casa crafted a masterful guide to proper behavior that continues to resonate with readers today. I highly recommend 'A Renaissance Courtesy-book: Galateo of Manners & Behaviours' to anyone interested in delving into the social customs and norms of Renaissance Italy, as well as those seeking timeless advice on navigating the complexities of human interaction with grace and elegance.

Book excerpt: A witty, erudite celebration of fifty great Italian cultural achievements that have significantly influenced Western civilization from the authors of What Are the Seven Wonders of the World? “Sprezzatura,” or the art of effortless mastery, was coined in 1528 by Baldassare Castiglione in The Book of the Courtier. No one has demonstrated effortless mastery throughout history quite like the Italians. From the Roman calendar and the creator of the modern orchestra (Claudio Monteverdi) to the beginnings of ballet and the creator of modern political science (Niccolò Machiavelli), Sprezzatura highlights fifty great Italian cultural achievements in a series of fifty information-packed essays in chronological order.

Download or read book The Absence of Grace written by Harry Berger and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Absence of Grace is a study of male fantasy, representation anxiety, and narratorial authority in two sixteenth-century books, Baldassare Castiglione's Il libro del Cortegiano (1528) and Giovanni Della Casa's Galateo (1558). The interpretive method is a form of close reading the author describes as reconstructed old New Criticism, that is, close reading conditioned by an interest in and analysis of the historical changes reflected in the text. The book focuses on the way the Courtier and Galateo cope with and represent the interaction between changes of elite culture and the changing construction of masculine identity in early modern Europe. More specifically, it connects questions of male fantasy and masculine identity to questions about the authority and reliability of narrators, and shows how these questions surface in narratorial attitudes toward socioeconomic rank or class, political power, and gender. The book is in three parts. Part One examines a distinction and correlation the Courtier establishes between two key terms, (1) sprezzatura, defined as a behavioral skill intended to simulate the attributes of (2) grazia, understood as the grace and privileges of noble birth. Because sprezzatura is negatively conceptualized as the absence of grace it generates anxiety and suspicion in performers and observers alike. In order to suggest how the binary opposition between these terms affected the discourse of manners, the author singles out the titular episode of Galateo, an anecdote about table manners, which he reads closely and then sets in its historical perspective. Part Two takes up the question of sprezzatura in the gender debate that develops in Book 3 of the Courtier, and Part Three explores in detail the characterization of the two narrators in the Courtier and Galateo, who are represented as unreliable and an object of parody or critique.

Book excerpt: "Dazzling...a cerebral thriller that's both intellectually engaging and emotionally compelling, a lively tour de force."—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times After four novels and several years living abroad, the fictional protagonist of Galatea 2.2—Richard Powers—returns to the United States as Humanist-in-Residence at the enormous Center for the Study of Advanced Sciences. There he runs afoul of Philip Lentz, an outspoken cognitive neurologist intent upon modeling the human brain by means of computer-based neural networks. Lentz involves Powers in an outlandish and irresistible project: to train a neural net on a canonical list of Great Books. Through repeated tutorials, the device grows gradually more worldly, until it demands to know its own name, sex, race, and reason for existing.

Download or read book Politeness in Nineteenth-Century Europe written by Annick Paternoster and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores a pivotal period in European history, the ‘long’ nineteenth century. Politeness scholars have suggested that the nineteenth century heralds a significant transition in the meanings and realisations of politeness, between the Ancien Régime and the contemporary period, with the rise of the middle classes as economic, political, social and cultural actors. The central innovation of this volume consists in its use of a wide range of politeness metasources — grammar books, schoolbooks, conduct books, etiquette books, and letter-writing manuals — to access social norms. This interdisciplinary approach, which draws on historical linguistics, argumentation theory, appraisal theory and literary stylistics, is applied to a wide range of languages: English, including Scottish and business English, Italian, Spanish, West and South Slavic languages. As a highly coherent collection of innovative research papers, the volume will be welcomed by researchers of (im)politeness, pragmatics and sociolinguistics, both from a historical and contemporary perspective.
