Book Synopsis Ancient Violence in the Modern Imagination by : Irene Berti
Download or read book Ancient Violence in the Modern Imagination written by Irene Berti and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collected essays in this volume focus on the presentation, representation and interpretation of ancient violence – from war to slavery, rape and murder – in the modern visual and performing arts, with special attention to videogames and dance as well as the more usual media of film, literature and theatre. Violence, fury and the dread that they provoke are factors that appear frequently in the ancient sources. The dark side of antiquity, so distant from the ideal of purity and harmony that the classical heritage until recently usually called forth, has repeatedly struck the imagination of artists, writers and scholars across ages and cultures. A global assembly of contributors, from Europe to Brazil and from the US to New Zealand, consider historical and mythical violence in Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus and the 2010 TV series of the same name, in Ridley Scott's Gladiator, in the work of Lars von Trier, and in Soviet ballet and the choreography of Martha Graham and Anita Berber. Representations of Roman warfare appear in videogames such as Ryse: Son of Rome and Total War, as well as recent comics, and examples from both these media are analysed in the volume. Finally, interviews with two artists offer insight into the ways in which practitioners understand and engage with the complex reception of these themes.
Book Synopsis Evaluative Constructions in Italian Sign Language (LIS) by : Elena Fornasiero
Download or read book Evaluative Constructions in Italian Sign Language (LIS) written by Elena Fornasiero and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The domain of evaluative morphology is vast and complex, as it requires the combination of morphological, semantic and pragmatic information to be understood. Nevertheless, cross-linguistic studies on spoken languages show that languages share some patterns in the way they encode evaluative features. It follows that investigating evaluative morphology in sign languages (SLs) can enrich the literature and offer new insights. This book provides descriptive and theoretical contributions by considering Italian Sign Language (LIS) as empirical ground of investigation. At the descriptive level, the analysis of corpus and elicited data improves the description of morphological processes in LIS, as well as typological studies on evaluative morphology by adding the patterns of a visuo-gestural language. At the theoretical level, the study shows the benefit of combining different approaches (Generative Linguistics, Linguistic Typology, Cognitive Linguistics) for the exploration of evaluative constructions in SLs, as it allows to identify both modality-specific and modality-independent properties. In sum, this book encourages the readers to rely on different data types, analyses and theoretical perspectives to investigate linguistic phenomena in SLs.
Book Synopsis Codice di Rinascita by : Paolo Goglio
Download or read book Codice di Rinascita written by Paolo Goglio and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-05-17 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volevo giungere all'origine, alla sorgente di quell'attimo magico in cui dalla cenere del dolore iniziamo a risorgere, rinascere. Pensavo fosse solamente il passaggio tra il negativo e il positivo, tra la discesa e il risalire... poi ho avuto una pausa creativa, mancava qualcosa di importante, un senso più elevato, potente, universale. Improvvisamente ci ha lasciato mia madre: silenziosa anima di luce dal grande cuore è ascesa al cielo e quella sera stessa, nelle lacrime di abbandono, mi sono giunte le pagine finali che hanno completato il manoscritto. Ora so che queste pagine contengono un dono straordinario, chiavi di un amore elevato per rinascere in noi stessi e ripartire, non importa quanto grande sia il dolore, quanto difficile sia il cammino... ora io, tu, noi, tutti abbiamo la certezza che possiamo rialzarci, ripartire, rinascere.
Download or read book Italian Modernism written by Mario Moroni and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian Modernism was written in response to the need for an historiographic and theoretical reconsideration of the concepts of Decadentismo and the avant-garde within the Italian critical tradition. Focussing on the confrontation between these concepts and the broader notion of international modernism, the essays in this important collection seek to understand this complex phase of literary and artistic practices as a response to the epistemes of philosophical and scientific modernity at the end of the nineteenth century and in the first three decades of the twentieth. Intellectually provocative, this collection is the first attempt in the field of Italian Studies at a comprehensive account of Italian literary modernism. Each contributor documents how previous critical categories, employed to account for the literary, artistic, and cultural experiences of the period, have provided only partial and inadequate descriptions, preventing a fuller understanding of the complexities and the interrelations among the cultural phenomena of the time.
Book Synopsis Marisa Mori and the Futurists by : Jennifer Griffiths
Download or read book Marisa Mori and the Futurists written by Jennifer Griffiths and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-12 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces a compelling new personality to the modernist canon, Marisa Mori (1900-1985), who became the only female contributor to The Futurist Cookbook (1932) with her recipe for “Italian Breasts in the Sun.” Providing something more complex than a traditional biographical account, Griffiths presents a feminist critique of Mori's art, converging on issues of gender, culture, and history to offer new critical perspectives on Italian modernism. If subsequently written out of modernist memory, Mori was once at the center of the Futurism movement in Italy; yet she worked outside the major European capitals and fluctuated between traditional figurative subjects and abstract experimentation. As a result, her in-between pictures can help to re-think the margins of modernism. By situating Mori's most significant artworks in the critical context of interwar Fascism, and highlighting her artistic contributions before, during, and after her Futurist decade, Griffiths contributes to a growing body of knowledge on the women who participated in the Italian Futurist movement. In doing so, she explores a woman artist's struggle for modernity among the Italian Futurists in an age of Fascism.

Download or read book Alchemic camera written by Michele Frazzi and published by Silvana. This book was released on 2004 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tra il 1518 e il 1519 Antonio Allegri detto il Correggio affrescò a Parma, all'interno del monastero benedettino femminile di San Paolo, una stanza dell'appartamento della badessa Giovanna da Piacenza. L'affresco si rivelò immediatamente di concezione innovativa, di tematica unitaria e di straordinaria felicità figurativa, grazie al mescolarsi di elementi naturalistici, mitologici e concettuali. La camera, destinata alla clausura e ignorata per oltre due secoli, fu riscoperta e valorizzata soltanto alla fine del Settecento. Con questo settimo quaderno della collana curata da Giuseppe Adani, la Fondazione "Il Correggio" porta nuovamente all'attenzione del pubblico la celebre camera, accogliendo l'innovativa interpretazione che ne dà Michele Frazzi. Oggetto dello studio è in particolare la cultura alchemica diffusa nel clima neoplatonico parmense del Cinquecento, che il pittore ha saputo trasferire nella sua opera, creando una complessa raffigurazione i cui molteplici significati sono, finalmente, svelati.
Book Synopsis Fascist Modernism in Italy by : Francesca Billiani
Download or read book Fascist Modernism in Italy written by Francesca Billiani and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1917 to 1975 Germany, Italy, Portugal, the Soviet Union, and Spain shifted from liberal parliamentary democracies to authoritarian and totalitarian dictatorships, seeking total control, mass consensus, and the constitution of a 'new man/woman' as the foundation of a modern collective social identity. As they did so these regimes uniformly adopted what we would call a modernist aesthetic – huge-scale experiments in modernism were funded and supported by fascist and totalitarian dictators. Famous examples include Mussolini's New Rome at EUR, or the Stalinist apartment blocks built in urban Russia. Focusing largely on Mussolini's Italy, Francesca Billiani argues that modernity was intertwined irrecoverably with fascism – that too often modernist buildings, art and writings are seen as a purely cultural output, when in fact the principles of modernist aesthetics constitute and are constituted by the principles of fascism. The obsession with the creation of the 'new man' in art and in reality shows this synergy at work. This book is a key contribution to the field of twentieth century history – particularly in the study of fascism, while also appealing to students of art history and philosophy.
Book Synopsis Art History and Visual Studies in Europe by :
Download or read book Art History and Visual Studies in Europe written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-06-22 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflection on the history and practice of art history has long been a major topic of research and scholarship, and this volume builds on this tradition by offering a critical survey of many of the major developments in the contemporary discipline, such as the impact of digital technologies, the rise of visual studies or new initiatives in conservation theory and practice. Alongside these methodological issues this book addresses the mostly neglected question of the impact of national contexts on the development of the discipline. Taking a wide range of case studies, this book examines the impact of the specific national political, institutional and ideological demands on the practice of art history. The result is an account that both draws out common features and also highlights the differences and the plurality of practices that together constitute art history as a discipline.

Download or read book 1920-1945 written by Valerio Terraroli and published by Art of the Twentieth Century (. This book was released on 2006 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series offers a complete, up-to-date survey of the phenomena of the 1900s and the first years of the new millennium through an original, transversal and interdisciplinary analysis of artistic culture in the twentieth century. The second volume analyses and presents the hugely diverse world of artistic production between the two world wars, taking into consideration not only the environment that took shape in the immediate wake of the First World War, from the so-called "return to order" to the re-emergence of a figurative approach (The New Objectivity, Novecento Italiano, Magic Realism) that was profoundly anti-avant-garde yet imbued with strong plastic and semantic values, but also the evolution of an avant-garde that was now historicised, with its second-generation artists (Aerial Painting, the second generation of Futurism). Also considered are the codification of certain phenomena, such as Surrealism, changes in taste (from Art Deco to Novecentismo), as well as art as the expression of the totalitarian regimes, and the outbreak of the Second World War, with the embracing of environments outside Europe, particularly the USA. The chronological boundaries are marked by the birth of the Dadaist experience in Germany and the establishment of Metaphysics in Italy (1917- 1920) on one side and by the birth of the great season of U.S. Abstract Expressionism (1943-1945) on the other.
