"The Turk and Islam in the Western Eye, 1450?750 "
Unprecedented in its range - extending from Venice to the New World and from the Holy Roman Empire to the Ottoman Empire - this collection probes the place that the Ottoman Turks occupied in the Western imaginaire, and the ways in which this occupation expressed itself in the visual arts. Individual essays in this volume examine specific images or groups of images, problematizing the 'truths' they present and analyzing the contexts that shape the presentation of Ottoman or Islamic subject matter in European art. The contributors trace the transmission of early modern images and representations across national boundaries and across centuries to show how, through processes of translation that often involved multiple stages, the figure of the Turk (and by extension that of the Muslim) underwent a multiplicity of interpretations that reflect and reveal Western needs, anxieties and agendas. The essays reveal how anachronisms and inaccuracies mingled with careful detail to produce a "Turk," a figure which became a presence to reckon with in painting, sculpture, tapestry and printmaking.

L’ermetismo e Firenze
This is the first of the two volumes dedicated to Hermeticism and Florence published by Firenze University Press (the second one entitled Luzi, Bigongiari, Parronchi, Bodini, Sereni can be purchased separately). Between 1930 and 1945, a group of young people started one of the most vibrant literary seasons of the 20th century in Florence, known as Florentine Hermeticisms (or simply Hermeticism). Many of its members recognised themselves in a common narrative marked by a shared imagination, and in the silent dissent from the rhetoric of the regime, which was contrasted by the radicalism of the ethical request and by the deep bond with the Jewish-Christian, romantic and symbolist roots of the ...
Declinazioni della voce e forme dell'io nella letteratura moderna
Interrogandosi su identità e alterità, verità e menzogna, questo libro ci parla della rifrazione di volti e maschere che ha accompagnato nel tempo le modalità di rappresentazione dell’io che scrive. Da Leopardi a Baudelaire, da Proust a Philip Roth, da Pessoa a Tabucchi, da Bobi Bazlen a Kundera, da Barthes a Foucault, a essere convocati sono i testi della grande letteratura europea del Novecento, assieme a dichiarazioni di poetica e riflessioni teoriche sulla funzione autoriale. Centrale è il ruolo del romanzo moderno, con le sue inquietudini, nei capitoli dedicati ai percorsi della luce di Daniele Del Giudice e alla città morta, popolata di ombre, di Patrick Modiano.
