Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection includes four theatrical works of acclaimed Italian author, Dacia Maraini, in a dual-language format (Italian/English). The works have been chosen around the themes of distress, exclusion, and various manifestations of tragedy with particular reference to women. The works were chosen within a modern and a historical reference in order to give breadth to the main themes. The individual works include: (a) Stravaganza/Extravagance. The unfolding drama alludes to the Legge Basaglia (the so-called Basaglia Law, 180/1978), whose prescriptions included the closure of insane asylums throughout Italy; (b) Camille. In this piece, Maraini offers a reinterpretation of the storied and controversial relationship between the sculptor, Auguste Rodin, and his young apprentice/assistant, Camille Claudel; (c) Storia di Isabella di Morra raccontata da Benedetto Croce/The Story of Isabella di Morra as Told by Benedetto Croce. In this play, the power of literature and the written word (the implicit, culpable “character” in this play) culminates in atrocious homicide; (d) I digiuni di Catarina da Siena/The Fasting of Catherine of Siena. Powerful relationships dominate this account of Saint Catherine’s profound religiosity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Themes, places, characters and voices of Elizabeth Jolley’s Mr Scobie’s Riddle are explored in detail in this monograph, which provides different narratological and translational analyses of the novel, as well as an academic translation into Italian. Considering the challenges and issues posited by a literary work’s translation helps to shed light on the original work itself. In this manner, the translation is to be seen as a further analytical instrument to gain insight into the original novel. The purpose of this work is to obtain a deeper understanding of the complicated microcosm created by Jolley in the nursing home of “St Christopher and St Jude”: the typically Australian themes of migration, isolation, place and displacement; the Australian culture-specific elements; the ensemble of curious characters and their entertaining voices. This book strives to preserve the above elements in translation as the expression of something Other, a different culture, and to take Italian readers on a journey to the Australia depicted in Mr Scobie’s Riddle so that Jolley’s characters’ voices can echo in the Italian language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once Bukowski was asked: Do you believe in God? He replied: No, I believe only in horses. I do not know why we always realize things when it is too late. Ive also bet on horses for a period. But, differently from Bukowski whom I respect so much, I quit horses and bet on God. Really, I think it is for this faith that I found myself with my back against the wall. Against the wall was the first title I wanted to give to this book. There are a lot of people in the world: tramps, prisoners, all types of emarginated people who are alienated just because, in my opinion, they do not manage to keep pace with a cheering occidental cult of efficiency, to keep up with the rules for which the society, the system did not forgive them. But Christ said: I came to the world for the ill, not for the sane. Thus, is it really true the last will be the first? Maybe, if, as far as I know, a probable God does not consider things the way people do. Anyway, what I have never understood is: there is a baby born from Gypsies and there is another one born from a rich American family. What is the fault of the first one whose destiny is immediately signed? A mystery! So, A Gemstone in the Rock, in its essential message, is an invitation to bet on God as it is the only chance we have in our life. It is also an invitation to prayto pray more often during the day. Even at work. But without putting the entertainment aside: it gives colours to our life. Thats why the title is A Gemstone in the Rock: life is nothing but a precious stone in the rock: you can observe it in its splendour but you cannot take it with your naked hands. As far as the emarginated people are concerned, let us help them bearing in mind that, differently from what the main part of respectable Catholics think, to help them is not at all a walk of pleasure. I say it with a poem: How much pain I get for a kiss to a poor wretch! This book has got a particular: it is like a human being in the course of his life with its high and low moments between faith and total loss of courage. P.S. As far as my poem Now (Faith) is concerned, for a question of a dramaturgic effect I left the sequence of the passion events according to my poetic license. Have a good time reading! Sincerely, Donato Placido This book was born as a synthesis of our writings, our thoughts and vision of the world. I made Donatos acquaintance while he was focused on hypotheses of a staged version of a Pirandellos play. His poetry published and appreciated in Italy, inspired me. I proposed to him being published abroad. I read Donatos material thoroughly and put it in a sequence (I would rather say I had to cut it like a movie: his writings evoke movie-like images). This book owes to me its structure, order and some chapters: trilogy Loneliness of Light I wrote on the basis of apocryphal Gospels found in the Dead Sea in 2004, in particular, Judas and Magdalenes Gospels. However, the dialogue between Judas and Magdalene (staged in 2006 in Moscow at an international festival of directing plays) and Magdalenes monologue are of pure intuition (or, if we prefer so, of artistic invention). Other book parts of which I am the author are: the dialogue Puppets of freedom inspired by Dantons Death by Georg Bchner, extracts from Disillusions (money, power, female love), extracts from Absence and silence (The end of the world, Silence, loneliness and . . .), the whole chapter of Encounter (which is Donatos novel of the same name I put in a nutshell and in blank verse) and my poem on a true love, Till the darkness. In a human life everyone passes from happiness to despair, from the idea of God dissolved in everything to the idea of his absence, one stakes on the material goods accumulation, on power, on love, even on the idea of freedombut then one notices all these concepts are only illusions, just glimpses

Book excerpt: Si percepisce fin dalle prime pagine il profondo intimismo di Senza Fine. Un romanzo che non è romanzo, fatto di liriche, saggi, brani. Una storia intricata costruita secondo il principio del flusso di coscienza. Immagini. Pensieri. Il grande legame che lega Govinda a Siddhartha. Gli amici, le feste a base di yagé, le tragedie, l‘obiettivo di diventare un bodhisattva, le esperienze extracorporee grazie all‘autoipnosi, l’Islanda. Senza Fine è simile a un mandala, fragile, dai mille significati. L‘opera possiede un’accurata inventiva stilistica e un linguaggio anticonformista che unisce le caratteristiche tipiche del Bildungsroman più mistico a quelle della narrativa «on the road» in cui le avventure e le oscenità sono elementi cardini del racconto.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You have to laugh. It is a tragedy in three movements: The Thighs, The Dick, The Fame and a counter-movement: Italy. An actress creates a physical and vocal mask challenging a provocative, scandalous and beastly text. Words might be sung, howled and shrieked but a chant never emerges. In her naked physicality she tells a personal story in an unbroken flow of thoughts/words rendered as sounds and movement. The deafening screams being choked. Appeased. Imploded. This female onstage offers herself up in a feast, ready to be torn apart by anyone. A poetic piece born of the flesh that returns to the flesh, captured in a tightly-sealed aesthetic. Applause required. The Shit is driven by a desperate attempt to pull ourselves out of the mud, the latest products of the cultural genocide aptly described by Pasolini since the modern consumer society began taking form. A totalitarianism, according to Pasolini, even more repressive than the one of the Fascist era, because it's capable of crushing us softly. Si deve ridere. E' una tragedia in tre tempi: Le Cosce, Il Cazzo, La Fama e un controtempo: L’Italia. Nella sua nudità e intimità pubblica, l'attrice costruisce una maschera fisica/vocale sfidando un testo scandaloso, provocatorio e rabbioso. La scrittura è cantabile, ma il canto non emerge mai, ed è invece preponderante la chiave dell’invettiva, del grido, del corpo che sussulta la sua storia personale in un flusso di pensieri/parole raccontati come suoni. Strazianti. Urla assordanti e contratte. Sopite. Implose. La femmina si offre dal vivo come in un banchetto, pronta a venire sbranata da tutti. Una partitura poetica che nasce così dalla carne e alla carne ritorna, pur dentro a una rigidissima confezione estetica. Applausi obbligatori. La Merda ha come spinta propulsiva il disperato tentativo di districarsi da un pantano o fango, ultimi prodotti di quel genocidio culturale di cui scrisse e parlò Pier Paolo Pasolini all’affacciarsi della società dei consumi. Quel totalitarismo, secondo Pasolini, ancor più duro di quello fascista poiché capace di annientarci con dolcezza. Since its world premiere in Milan in 2012, #LaMerda, written by Cristian Ceresoli and embodied by Silvia Gallerano, has brought its poetic and shocking stream of consciousness on the human condition around the world with sell-out seasons in Edinburgh, London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Adelaide and across Italy (where a subtle censorship is still applied), winning six major international awards including the coveted Scotsman Fringe First Award for Writing Excellence and The Stage Award for Best Performance. The play has already been translated and produced in Italian, English, Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Spanish and Czech, and will shortly be translated into German and French.

This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’intreccio tra la migrazione in Italia e la pratica della scrittura letteraria in lingua italiana accomuna le donne le cui storie, raccolte in lunghe interviste biografiche, sono presentate e analizzate in questo volume. La migrazione può configurarsi come esperienza di sradicamento e di solitudine, anche in ragione delle forme di esclusione attive nella società d’approdo. Ma la pratica della scrittura, nella nuova lingua, può essere strumento attraverso il quale costruire nuove appartenenze e sentire di poter avere, ancora, «un posto nel mondo», come afferma una delle donne intervistate. Le biografie raccolte mettono in crisi l’immaginario egemonico sulle “donne migranti”, popolato da stereotipi in cui si intersecano assunti razzisti, sessisti ed eurocentrici. L’esperienza della scrittura in migrazione viene interpretata e discussa come una pratica di soggettivazione, una pratica cioè attraverso la quale le donne migranti cessano di essere soggetti narrati e si rendono soggetti narranti, potendo così contribuire a ri-nominare e ri-significare i processi di costruzione e reificazione dell’alterità. «Questo è un libro in cui la sociologia è vivente. Promuove e articola la percezione di uno scarto fra le esperienze di chi questo mondo lo abita e i modi in cui le narrazioni più correnti le deformano. Promuove e articola curiosità e critica. È un libro molto bello. Io spero che lo leggano in tanti». Dalla Prefazione di Paolo Jedlowski

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Autore ricostruisce la sua nascita e gli avvenimenti della sua infanzia in base alle testimonianze dei familiari inquadrando gli eventi in un contesto storico reale. Esamina le origini del Borgo dove è nato, le vicende dei suoi antenati che seguendo le aspirazioni di Francesco e dei suoi due figli, Amerigo e Santi, vi si trasferirono dando inizio alle due discendenze. Si interessa degli avvenimenti che riguardano suo nonno Santi e suo padre, occupandosi degli altri solo marginalmente, quando le vicende si intersecheranno. Ma il principale obbiettivo di queste memorie, alla luce degli avvenimenti narrati, è quello di rendere giustizia all'impegno profuso in ogni occasione della sua vita, alla correttezza del comportamento. Inoltre intende dimostrare come i desideri e la volontà di alcuni, ma soprattutto la falsità e l'egoismo di altri abbiano determinato condizioni sfavorevoli per se e per la sua famiglia pregiudicandone ogni risorsa futura.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come racconterebbe la propria discesa agli inferi una ragazzina di 12 anni? Così, come Lola in Atti casuali di violenza insensata la (de)scrive a Anne, il suo diario. Tutto comincia con fatti di ordinaria amministrazione: un padre che non trova a chi vendere le proprie sceneggiature e una madre traduttrice e insegnante che non riesce a lavorare se non a ritmi forsennati. Due sorelline in tenera età e una grande, grande città: New York. Eppure gli echi di una diffusa guerriglia urbana entrano di prepotenza all’interno del racconto che Lola scrive a Anne, il suo diario. Il presidente muore ammazzato, poi ne muore un secondo, la criminalità fa il paio con una fortissima crisi economica e sociale serpeggia una violenza alla Arancia Meccanica. Anche le amichette della scuola (privata) voltano la faccia a Lola quando i genitori sono costretti a trasferirsi in un quartiere popolare per mancanza di denaro. Pian piano Lola si trova a giocare a fare la dura e a entrare in gang di quartiere al femminile. L’amore per Iz, ragazza nera spigliata e combattiva, la trascina sempre più a fondo e ogni sera il coprifuoco viene anticipato… Un mondo distopico come un romanzo di Philip K. Dick che, come nella migliore letteratura fantascientifica assomiglia moltissimo al nostro, funestato dalla crisi. Piccoli elementi sempre più determinanti dipingono una situazione di violenza che non risparmia i bambini, neppure quelli delle “buone famiglie”.

Book excerpt: Al contrario di quanto avviene solitamente nei romanzi del genere noir, gli eroi in questo libro di delitti e misteri agiscono alla luce del luminoso sole di Grecia. Storie del tutto imprevedibili, che avvengono ora nella casa accanto, ora nelle bianche isole greche o talvolta nelle azzurre profondit del mare. Tra i misteri e i codici del teatro antico, o sul sedile di una rossa Ferrari, alla fine matura sempre un atroce delitto. Lassassino sa il perch! La signora Gilda si impossessa della Casa degli oleandri; Nassos rincorre Lauto rossa delle donne di facebook; davanti al faro dellisola di Paros, sotto locchio della telecamera della CNN avviene la scoperta di un singolare delitto; Oreste nellantico teatro di Epidauro indaga i misteri di Asclepio e trova la sua Elena. Un rasta va alla ricerca dei segreti della sirena tra le rocce della fortezza veneziana di Monenvassia; il marinaio Mimis decide di porre fine allangoscia che gli procurano i sofismi del Maestro; Uninnocua amicizia entra nella vita di un marito geloso.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language in Text and Discourse is an innovative state-of-the-art interdisciplinary series of monographs and edited collections that focus on cutting-edge linguistic studies at the interface between discourse and society including corpus approaches. This series is a forum for studies of language in interaction with other semiotic modes which address the question of how meanings are activated, remade or re-shaped within a variety of contexts and interactions, such as social or textual structures, places, styles, or discursive moments. These are considered to be resources for placemaking or positioning, which correlate and are indexically linked with repetitive semiotic patterns. Verbal and non-verbal positioning as well as conventionalised forms of patterning determine, construe and reflect historically variable concepts of social reality. These are part of a complex network of discursive realities, power relations and voices. The series incorporates studies of social styling and language usage as well as processes of position-ing in a number of different linguistic as well as social, cultural, aesthetic and historical contexts. By transcending disciplinary boundaries the series is integrative in a number of ways. We will publish linguistic studies written in English or German about grammatical, knowledge-oriented, stylistic and sociolinguistic approaches within the fields of discourse analy-sis or corpus linguistics. These studies com-bine quantitative and qualitative investigations or represent mono- or multi-modal analyses. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Editors: Beatrix Busse, professor of English linguistics, is Vice-rector for teaching and learning at the University of Köln (Germany). Ingo H. Warnke holds the chair of German linguistics and interdisciplinary linguistics at the University of Bremen (Germany).
