Book Synopsis The Search for Modern Tragedy by : Mary Ann Frese Witt
Download or read book The Search for Modern Tragedy written by Mary Ann Frese Witt and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attempt to apply an aesthetic or literary approach to fascism remains controversial. In The Search for Modern Tragedy, Mary Ann Frese Witt explores the work of a group of European writers and artists who came to fascism by way of aesthetics. In Italy and France, she maintains, an ideological aesthetic of "Mediterranean" fascism developed to a large extent independently of German Nazism. Witt's study of the relationship between fascism and modern tragedy encompasses theoretical writing on tragedy and tragedies by key authors, including Luigi Pirandello, Henry de Montherlant, and Jean Anouilh. She looks at these tragedies in the context of their reception under fascism in Italy and in Vichy France. Fascism, in the minds of many of its supporters, was an aesthetic or spiritual movement, although its aesthetic and political elements were often intertwined. The Search for Modern Tragedy is not concerned primarily with drama written as a means of conveying fascist propaganda. Rather, Witt is concerned with the influence of aesthetic fascism on the theory and practice of modern tragedy.
Book Synopsis Investigating Gender, Translation and Culture in Italian Studies by : Monica Boria
Download or read book Investigating Gender, Translation and Culture in Italian Studies written by Monica Boria and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2007 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past few years have witnessed a growing academic interest in Italian Studies and an increasing number of symposia and scholarly activities. This volume originates from the Society for Italian Studies Postgraduate Colloquia that took place at the University of Leicester and Cambridge in June 2004 and April 2005 respectively. It gathers together articles by young researchers working on various aspects of Italian Studies. It well illustrates current trends in both typical areas of research, like literature and 'high culture', and in those which have gained momentum in recent years, like translation and language studies. The volume offers a taste of the dynamic outlook of current research in Italian Studies: the interdisciplinary approach of the essays in translation and gender studies, and the innovative methodological perspectives and findings offered by the new fields of Italian L2 and ethnography. The book is divided into three sections, each grouping contributions by broad subject areas: literature and culture, translation and gender studies, language and linguistics. Cross-fertilizations and interdisciplinary research emerge from several essays and the coherent ensemble constitutes an example of the far-reaching results achieved by current research.
Book Synopsis Staging and the Arts in Nineteenth-Century France by : Camilla Murgia
Download or read book Staging and the Arts in Nineteenth-Century France written by Camilla Murgia and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-22 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the mechanisms and patterns of staging in nineteenth-century France. Often associated with theatre and performance, staging also applies to visual arts. It is thoroughly embedded in a more general cultural development comprising the dissemination of knowledge, political awareness and consumerism. The notion of staging applies to a process of appearing, revealing and disappearing that puts forward new ways for the individual to be seen and to make the self (and the other) visible. Staging determines and questions the process of appearing and disappearing by generating connections and interactions between multiple layers of reality (i.e., artistic, theatrical, literary, and visual) – but according to what criteria, through what mechanisms and with what materials? What are the repercussions of staging, and, even more important, what does staging not show? This book argues that the notion of staging goes beyond interdisciplinarity. Looking at the different ways staging was used and conceived introduces new approaches to understanding visual culture in nineteenth-century France.
Book Synopsis Globalization, Cultural Identities, and Media Representations by : Natascha Gentz
Download or read book Globalization, Cultural Identities, and Media Representations written by Natascha Gentz and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization, Cultural Identities, and Media Representations provides a multidirectional approach for understanding the role of media in constructing cultural identities in a newly globalized media environment. The contributors cover a wide range of topics from different geopolitical areas, historical periods, and media genres. Case studies examined include the shift from print to Internet, local representations of modern world cinema and glo/cal television, narrative strategies in transnational literature, and cultural economics of the mediation of world music in India, China, Algeria, Israel, Europe, and the United States. This case study approach allows for deeper insights into the complexity of each cultural subsystem as part of the whole media culture system. This book exemplifies a transcultural and transdisciplinary dialogue that maps out new—relocalized—territories and borders for mediated cultural identities and also reveals the complexity and connectedness of all of these discourses.

Book Synopsis Di chi tiene la penna: immagini di scrittori e scrittura nel romanzo italiano dal 1911 al 1942 [Italian-language Edition] by : Simona Bianconi
Download or read book Di chi tiene la penna: immagini di scrittori e scrittura nel romanzo italiano dal 1911 al 1942 [Italian-language Edition] written by Simona Bianconi and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simona Bianconi explores the creative process of writing, its communicative aspects and the traces of the writer himself in his creations, as well as the effect writing has on the personality of the author.Through the analysis of texts by six outstanding protagonists of the Italian novel in the first half of the 20th century, Bianconi gives answers to fascinating questions that arise about its creators and encourages the reader to experience and understand writing as a revelation of creativity and life.L'invenzione letteraria può dare vita a un secondo scrittore, a sua volta all'opera. A sua volta colui che comunica al di là della parola, che si assume l'importante responsabilità della creazione, che intende lasciare traccia di sé. Da lui nasce il libro, sua sfida, sostegno, tormento; prova unica o reiterata. Come prende forma nel romanzo di primo grado la figura centrale dell'autore? Come si mostra l'immagine ammaliante del suo lavoro nelle storie di lotta e rinuncia, successo e mediocrità presentate? E qual è l'effetto della scrittura sul personaggio - anche nella sua interazione sociale - che, pure tra gravi ostacoli, la elegge tra le vie da percorrere e ne fa il proprio destino?Attraverso la lettura di testi di sei straordinari protagonisti del romanzo italiano nella prima metà del Novecento, ideatori di altrettanti artisti, donne e uomini, si è tentato di dare una risposta ad interrogativi seducenti che il lettore si pone.. In tal modo, penetrando il motivo dell'esperienza della letteratura, si giunge a toccare la scrittura come rivelazione e sigillo di vita.

Book Synopsis A City in Search of an Author by : Katia Pizzi
Download or read book A City in Search of an Author written by Katia Pizzi and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2002-02-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poised between the Mediterranean and the Mitteleuropa, crossroads of civilizations and seat of vibrant cultural and literary life, Trieste is now acknowledged as enjoying unrivalled cultural status amongst Italian cities. This volume, the first comprehensive study of Triestine literature in English, originally reassesses TriesteÆs literary identity, paying particular attention to the period between 1918 and 1954 when local writing became intensely aware of its local specificity and some of its central motifs came prominently to the fore. TriesteÆs singular border identity, mirrored in a variegated literary output, emerges here as laden with complexities and ambiguities, such as the controversial notion of triestinita, the ambiguous relation with nationalism, specifically in its Fascist inflection, and the anxieties generated by repeated re-definitions of the areaÆs historical borders.
Book Synopsis Echoes of Opera in Modern Italian Poetry by : Mattia Acetoso
Download or read book Echoes of Opera in Modern Italian Poetry written by Mattia Acetoso and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-24 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twentieth-century Italian poetry is haunted by countless ghosts and shadows from opera. Echoes of Opera in Modern Italian Poetry reveals their presence and sheds light on their role in shaping that great poetic tradition. This is the first work in English to analyze the influence of opera on modern Italian poetry, uncovering a fundamental but neglected relationship between the two art forms. A group of Italian poets, from Gabriele D’Annunzio to Giorgio Caproni, by way of Umberto Saba and Eugenio Montale, made opera a cornerstone of their artistic craft. More than an occasional stylistic influence, opera is rather analyzed as a fundamental facet of these poets’ intellectual quest to overcome the expressive limitations of lyrical poetry. This book reframes modern Italian poetry in a truly interdisciplinary perspective, broadening our understanding of its prominence within the humanities, in the twentieth century and beyond.
Book Synopsis La Crociera della Tonante by : Emilio Salgari
Download or read book La Crociera della Tonante written by Emilio Salgari and published by eBook Free. This book was released on 2014-10-12 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diretto seguito del romanzo I corsari delle Bermude, la vicenda sembra così aver subito solo una breve pausa. Infatti, mentre la lotta infuriava tra la "Tuonante" e la fregata del Marchese d'Halifax, la bella nave del capitano William Mac-Lellan aveva ricevuto un grave danno: le era stato spezzato l'albero di trinchetto e quindi la sua corsa era stata interrotta e l'odiato marchese aveva potuto prendere il largo. La nave deve perciò tornare a Boston per le riparazioni, ma è di nuovo ben presto pronta a riprendere il mare e a dare battaglia. È pronta per la sua "crociera" ed è tanto più temuta per la presenza, a bordo, di un artigliere abilissimo, Mastro Testa di Pietra, sempre in compagnia del simpatico Piccolo Flocco. Postosi nuovamente sulle tracce del Marchese, riprende con lui la battaglia, furiosa e terribile. Sia la corvetta "Tuonante" che la fregata nemica si incagliano in banchi di sabbia e gli equipaggi si affidano a zattere di fortuna. Navi inglesi raccolgono il Marchese d'Halifax e Mary, che raggiungono così New-York, dove il fratellastro di Mac-Lellan è deciso ad organizzare il suo matrimonio con la fanciulla. L'astuto Testa di Pietra vigila e così il duello decisivo tra Mac-Lellan e il Marchese si svolge nientemeno che nella cappella sotterranea di una chiesa, interrompendo la cerimonia. Il libro si chiude con un affrettata conclusione in cui si accenna alle nozze tra il baronetto e la bella Mary, nello stesso giorno in cui il generale Washington vinse le armate inglesi comandate dal capitano Cadwallari sulla Delavara.
Book Synopsis The Tradition of the Actor-author in Italian Theatre by : Donatella Fischer
Download or read book The Tradition of the Actor-author in Italian Theatre written by Donatella Fischer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The central importance of the actor-author is a distinctive feature of Italian theatrical life, in all its eclectic range of regional cultures and artistic traditions. The fascination of the figure is that he or she stands on both sides of one of theatre's most important power relationships: between the exhilarating freedom of performance and the austere restriction of authorship and the written text. This broad-ranging volume brings together critical essays on the role of the actor-author, spanning the period from the Renaissance to the present. Starting with Castiglione, Ruzante and the commedia dell'arte, and surveying the works of Dario Fo, De Filippo and Bene, among others, the contributors cast light on a tradition which continues into Neapolitan and Sicilian theatre today, and in Italy's currently fashionable 'narrative theatre', where the actor-author is centre stage in a solo performance."

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.
