Book Synopsis Invisible Reconstruction by : Lucia Patrizio Gunning
Download or read book Invisible Reconstruction written by Lucia Patrizio Gunning and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it really mean to reconstruct a city after a natural, biological or man-made disaster? Is the repair and reinstatement of buildings and infrastructure sufficient without the mending of social fabric? The authors of this volume believe that the true measure of success should be societal. After all, a city without people is no city at all. Invisible Reconstruction takes the view that effective disaster mitigation and recovery require interdisciplinary tactics. Historian Lucia Patrizio Gunning and urbanist Paola Rizzi expand beyond the confines of individual disciplines or disaster studies to bring together academics and practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines, comparing strategies and outcomes in different scenarios and cultures from South America, Europe and Asia. From cultural heritage and public space to education and participation, contributors reflect on the interconnection of people, culture and environment and on constructive approaches to strengthening the intangible ties to increase resilience and reduce vulnerability. By bringing practical examples of how communities and individuals have reacted to or prepared for disaster, the publication proposes a shift in public policy to ensure that essential physical reinforcement and rebuilding are matched by attention to societal needs. Invisible Reconstruction is essential reading for policymakers, academics and practitioners working to reduce the impact of natural, biological and man-made disaster or to improve post-disaster recovery.
Book Synopsis A Window on the Italian Female Modernist Subjectivity by : Rossella M. Riccobono
Download or read book A Window on the Italian Female Modernist Subjectivity written by Rossella M. Riccobono and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Nessi's ... strength as a poet rests with his own distinctive and daring language - a spirit level that enables him always to align himself with the subject of his verse. And, if his work is the product of a rational and realistic pessimism - occasionally softened by irony, it is also true that Nessi's emotional and ethical empathy deepens his analysis and heightens his response. - Marco Sonzogni

Download or read book Butterflies in November written by Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel of love, friendship, and self-reinvention: “I can’t remember the last time I was so enchanted . . . zany, surprising, full of twists and turns” (Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Circle and Something Blue). A translator of Icelandic, the unnamed young woman who narrates Butterflies in November is perhaps more at home in the world of language than the actual world. After a day of being dumped—twice—and accidentally killing a goose, she yearns to escape from the chaos of her life. Instead, her best friend’s four-year-old deaf-mute son is unexpectedly left in her care. But when the boy chooses the winning numbers for a lottery ticket, the two set off from Reykjavik along Iceland’s Ring Road on a journey of discovery. Along the way, they encounter black sand beaches, cucumber farms, lava fields, flocks of sheep, an Estonian choir, a falconer, a hitchhiker, and both of her exes desperate for another chance. What begins as a spontaneous adventure will unexpectedly and profoundly change the way she views her past and charts her future. Longlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize.

Book Synopsis Pomeriggi in Soffitta by : Giorgio Pannunzio
Download or read book Pomeriggi in Soffitta written by Giorgio Pannunzio and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-10-28 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le poesie di Giorgio Pannunzio sono il frutto di dieci anni di viaggio all'interno delle asperità della vita. Esse si pongono come un limite, una soglia, dopo la quale il cambiamento ha prevalso nei suoi modelli più ciechi, più oscuri. La vita narrata in questi testi è fatta di corse, di esili, di solitudini. E se in tali componimenti esiste una diversificazione sostanziale, essa nasce a partire dal sofferto "itinerarium vitae" dell'autore, che non è una semplice traccia di dolore o di sconfitte quotidiane, ma una ricerca, un vacuo e a volte velleitario tentativo di voltare pagina, una silenziosa battaglia sul campo del divenire e dell'esistere combattuta mentre l'uragano degli accadimenti quotidiani lo travolge e lo strema.
Book Synopsis Translation as Criticism by : Anna Gadd Colombi
Download or read book Translation as Criticism written by Anna Gadd Colombi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 342 pages. 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.
Download or read book Kalila e Dimna written by Ramsay Wood and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2014-10-12 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le storie superbe di Wood possono essere paragonate alle fiabe italiane di Italo Calvino. Non e necessario elogiare oltre. - Carlos FuentesOltrepassando confini linguistici e culturali, queste fiabe trascendono anche dagli archi temporali convenzionali. Abbondano di paradossi temporali. - Roger-Pol Droit (Le Monde)Kalila e Dimna o La Panchatantra (anche conosciuto in Europa dal 1483 come Le Fiabe di Bidpai) e una composizione di storie sugli animali e su diversi livelli, interconnesse l'una all'altra - a volte ci sono tre o quattro 'strati' di storie. Queste composizioni contribuiscono alla letteratura mondiale da piu di 2000 anni, essendo migrate attraverso antiche culture in una moltitudine di forme, scritte e orali. Tutte le nostre favole sugli animali, da Aesop ai racconti buddhisti Jataka, da La Fontaine a Uncle Remus, devono molto a questo libro strano e mutaforme.Piu di mille anni prima di Machiavelli, le fiabe in sanscrito della Panchatantra hanno trattato l'inganno, gli imbrogli politicali, l'omicidio, i nemici, i re, i dervisci, le scimmie, i leoni, gli sciacalli, le tartarughe, le cornacchie, e il come noi tutti cooperiamo (o meno!), viviamo e moriamo insieme, o in pace o in conflitto l'uno con l'altro. Questo e un libro pieno di animali e uomini che si comportano oltraggiosamente e che fanno delle cose favolosamente terribili (e tuttavia gentili a volte) l'uno all'altro. Queste sono storie gioiose, tristi, divertenti e a volte brutali, essendo il loro scopo quello di insegnare ad entrambi il re ed il cittadino i modi e mezzi del mondo, quelle realta dure che spesso si nascondono sotto la superficie della nostra soggettivita quotidiana e comoda.La composizione originale arabica, Kalila e Dimna (La Panchatantra in sanscrito ne e il precursore) apparentemente costituisce un manuale per sovrani, un cosidetto 'Specchio per Principi,' che illustra indirettamente, attraverso una marea di storie e versi didattici, il come (e il come non!) comandare il regno della Sua vita. Con una padronanza astutamente profonda della natura umana al suo meglio (e anche alla peggio!), queste fiabe sugli animali, che di solito evitano la critica moralistica umana, offrono un saggio e pratico consiglio a tutti noi.Basato sulla suo confronto di traduzioni erudite di testi chiave in Sanscrito, Arabo e Persiano, cosi come la versione del 1570 di Sir Thomas North, questo e in assoluto il primo racconto moderno in Oriente e Occidente da oltre 400 anni. Nella versione di Ramsay Wood, i significati profondi alla base di queste fiabe brillano, proprio come egli sa cogliere un mondo classico, rendendolo nuovo, rilevante, affascinante e incredibilemente piacevole da leggere.- - - -Wood's superb stories should be set alongside Italo Calvino's retelling of the folk tales of Italy. No higher praise is necessary. - Carlos FuentesCrossing linguistic and cultural frontiers, these fables also transcend conventional time-frames. They abound with temporal paradoxes. - Roger-Pol Droit (Le Monde)Kalila and Dimna or The Panchatantra (also known in Europe since 1483 as The Fables of Bidpai) is a multi-layered, inter-connected and variable arrangement of animal stories, with one story leading into another, sometimes three or four deep. These arrangements have contributed to world literature for over 2000 years, migrating across ancient cultures in a multitude of written and oral formats. All our beast fables from Aesop and the Buddhist Jataka Tales through La Fontaine to Uncle Remus owe this strange, shape-shifting 'book' a huge debt. Over a 1000 years before Machiavelli, the Sanskrit folk tales of The Panchatantra covered deceit, political skullduggery, murder, enemies, kings, dervishes, monkeys, lions, jackals, turtles, crows and how we all cooperate (or not!), live and die together in peace or conflict. This is a book full of outrageously behaved animals and humans doing the most delightfully awful (yet sometimes gentle) things to each other. These are joyous, sad, amusing and sometimes brutal stories; their function being to educate both king and commoner alike in the ways of the world, the harsh realities that can often lurk beneath the surface of our cozy, everyday subjectivity.In its original Arabic format, Kalila and Dimna (The Panchatantra being its Sanskrit precursor), ostensibly constitutes a handbook for rulers, a so-called 'Mirror for Princes' illustrating indirectly, through a cascade of teaching stories and verse, how to (and how not to!) run the kingdom of your life. In their slyly profound grasp of human nature at its best (and worst!) these animal fables, usually avoiding any moralistic human criticism, serve up digestible sage counsel for us all. Based on his collation of scholarly translations from key Sanskrit, Syriac, Arabic and Persian texts, as well as the 1570 English rendition by Sir Thomas North, this is the first uncompromisingly modern re-telling in either the East or West for over 400 years. In Ramsay Wood's version the profound meanings behind these ancient fables shine forth as he captures a great world classic, making it fresh, relevant, fascinating and hugely readable.
Book Synopsis The Grammar of Fantasy by : Gianni Rodari
Download or read book The Grammar of Fantasy written by Gianni Rodari and published by Enchanted Lion. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays from the visionary storyteller Gianni Rodari about fairy tales and folk tales and their great advantages in teaching creative storytelling. "Rodari grasped children's need to play with life's rules by using the grammar of their own imaginations. They must be encouraged to question, challenge, destroy, mock, eliminate, generate, and reproduce their own language and meanings through stories that will enable them to narrate their own lives." --Jack Zipes "I hope this small book," writes renowned children's author Gianni Rodari, "can be useful for all those people who believe it is necessary for the imagination to have a place in education; for all those who trust in the creativity of children; and for all those who know the liberating value of the word." Full of ideas, glosses on fairytales, stories, and wide-ranging activities, including the fantastic binomial, this book changed how creative arts were taught in Italian schools. Translated into English by acclaimed children's historian Jack Zipes and illustrated for the first time ever by Matthew Forsythe, this edition of The Grammar of Fantasy is one to live with and return to for its humor, intelligence, and truly deep understanding of children. A groundbreaking pedagogical work that is also a handbook for writers of all ages and kinds, The Grammar of Fantasy gives each of us a playful, practical path to finding our own voice through the power of storytelling. Gianni Rodari (1920-1980) grew up in Northern Italy and wrote hundreds of stories, poems, and songs for children. In 1960, he collaborated with the Education Cooperation Movement to develop exercises to encourage children's creative and critical thinking abilities. Jack Zipes is a renowned children's historian and folklorist who has written, translated, and edited dozens of books on fairytales. He is a professor at the University of Minnesota. Matthew Forsythe lives in Montreal where he draws and paints for picture books, comics, and animations.

Book Synopsis A Voice in the Fire by : Theodore Ell
Download or read book A Voice in the Fire written by Theodore Ell and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2015-03-28 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piero Bigongiari (1914-1997) was among the most prolific and consistent Italian poets of the last century. He was central to the ‘third generation’ of ermetismo – the movement that voiced the mysterious, the hidden and the abstract. Bigongiari was a poet of origins, exploring the grounding of cultures in landscape and myth, the depths and limitations of home, and the symbols and narratives that sustain an individual’s bond to places. His poetic technique was based on the elaboration of motifs, tracing evolving ideas in a web of verbal themes and variations. Bigongiari’s was a voice of memory, dreams and the surprises of the psyche, speaking beyond politics or ideology to express an Italian sense of existing in modern times. Yet his work is unfamiliar to most Italians and English-language readers. This book – the first English in-depth study of the poet – addresses the roots of Bigongiari’s writing and moral ideas, which took form during the Second World War. After the fall of fascism and the destruction of much of his beloved Florence, Bigongiari abandoned the mystical style of his first collection, seeking greater emotional immediacy and a more incisive view into Italy’s mental life. His fixation on origins arose from a belief that the fascist generations had been untrue to themselves; his technique of elaboration began as an attempt to sustain fragile creativity from one poem to the next. The destructive fire of war became the crucible in which he reinvented his art. Drawing on the full range of Bigongiari’s wartime writing, from his major poetry collection Rogo [Pyre or Blaze] to essays, diaries and new archival discoveries, this book is a portrait of an author overcoming crisis and confronting the failures of his time head-on. A Voice in the Fire will appeal to fans of Italian literature and poetry, and particularly fans and students of Bigongiari’s work. It will also be enjoyed by anyone interested in WWII writing, European war poetry or European history.
