The Oxford Handbook of European Romanticism
TThe Oxford Handbook to European Romanticism brings together leading scholars in the field to examine the intellectual, literary, philosophical, and political elements of European Romanticism. The book focuses on the cultural history of the period extending from the French Revolution to the uprisings of 1848. It begins with a series of chapters examining key texts written by major writers in languages including: French; German; Italian; Spanish; Russian; Hungarian; Greek; and Polish amongst others. A second section then explores the naturally inter-disciplinary quality of Romanticism, exemplified by the different discourses with which writers of the time set up an internal, comparative dynam...
Flower of the Desert
A profound meditation on Leopardis art and thought as well as a reframing and reassertion of Negris own philosophical and political project of liberation. Antonio Negri, one of Italys most influential and controversial contemporary philosophers, offers in this book a radical new interpretation of the nineteenth-century Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi. For Negri, Leopardi is not the bitter, idealistic individualist of conventional literary history, but rather a profoundly materialist thinker who sees human solidarity as the only possible solution to the catastrophes of history and politics. Negri traces Leopardis resistance to the transcendental idealism of Kant and Hegel, with its emph...
The state of the art of Uralic studies: tradition vs innovation
This volume contains the Proceedings of the ‘Uralic Studies’ Seminar: The State of the Art of Uralic Studies: Tradition vs Innovation, held in Padua (Italy), November 12-13, 2016. The seminar was organized by the Department of ‘Studi Linguistici e Letterari’ of Padua University and the ‘Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia’ of Sapienza University of Rome. The aim of the seminar, and of this volume, was / is to bring together linguists working on the Uralic languages from different perspectives, with the purpose of increasing the exchange of ideas and fostering mutual influences on each other field and methods of analysis. In addition to presenting the current ‘state of the art of Uralic studies’ – for specialists, general linguists and general public – the volume also addresses some issues related to the so-called ‘Ural-Altaic theory’, nowadays often referred to as the ‘Ural-Altaic linguistic belt, unique typological belt’. The contributors to the volume are renown scholars of Uralic, and also Altaic languages, from various European universities, such as Moscow, Helsinki, Paris, Budapest etc.
Zibaldone
A groundbreaking translation of the epic work of one of the great minds of the nineteenth century Giacomo Leopardi was the greatest Italian poet of the nineteenth century and was recognized by readers from Nietzsche to Beckett as one of the towering literary figures in Italian history. To many, he is the finest Italian poet after Dante. (Jonathan Galassi's translation of Leopardi's Canti was published by FSG in 2010.) He was also a prodigious scholar of classical literature and philosophy, and a voracious reader in numerous ancient and modern languages. For most of his writing career, he kept an immense notebook, known as the Zibaldone, or "hodge-podge," as Harold Bloom has called it, in whi...
Lessico Leopardiano 2022
Il progetto del Lessico Leopardiano (Laboratorio Leopardi – Sapienza) giunge con questo volume al suo quarto appuntamento. Proseguendo la linea di ricerca già avviata con le precedenti pubblicazioni (2014, 2016, 2020), si offre qui lo studio lessicale e semantico di quindici lemmi, allo scopo di aprire un varco di accesso ai nodi capitali dell’opera e del pensiero di Leopardi: da contentezza a esercizio, da errore a novità, le parole-chiave prese in esame consentono di osservare da una prospettiva inedita le linee di tensione che attraversano i diversi ambiti della riflessione leopardiana (morale, antropologia, estetica, linguistica), specie in relazione alla diagnosi della modernità. Per la prima volta, inoltre, si propongono due sezioni incentrate sull’indagine di più vocaboli riconducibili alla medesima area di significato: quella della ‘stravaganza’ e quella della ‘voce’.
Lessico Leopardiano 2020
Con questo volume il progetto del Lessico Leopardiano, nato nell’ambito delle attività del Laboratorio Leopardi (Sapienza), giunge alla sua terza tappa. Come nelle precedenti pubblicazioni (2014 e 2016), in questo libro si propone al lettore l’analisi lessicale e semantica di un gruppo di parole-chiave, afferenti alle zone nevralgiche della riflessione leopardiana: l’estetica (per esempio maraviglia e sentimentale), la linguistica e la filologia (da emendazione a etimologia), la morale e l’antropologia (è il caso di divertimento e leggerezza), senza tralasciare le interferenze con il sapere scientifico (come in equilibrio e medicina). Coniugando l’esame dettagliato dei lemmi con la messa a fuoco delle più rilevanti implicazioni critico-interpretative, il volume intende dunque fornire un ulteriore strumento per l’indagine del pensiero e dell’opera di Leopardi.
Orientation in European Romanticism
Exploring the experiments in individual and national self-consciousness conducted during the Romantic period, this essential comparative study of European literature, philosophy and politics makes original and often surprising connections and contrasts to reveal how personal and social identities were re-orientated and disorientated from the French Revolution onwards. Reviving a contested moment in the history of aesthetic theory, this study shows how the growing awareness of irresolution in Kant's third Kritik allowed Romantic writers to put the aesthetic to radical uses not envisaged by its parent philosophy. It also recounts how they would go on to force philosophy to revise received notions of authority, empowering women and subordinated ethnic groups to re-orientate existing hierarchies. The sheer range and variety of writers covered is testament both to the breadth of writing that Kant's philosophy so rashly legitimated and to the wider importance of philosophy to the understanding of Romantic literature.
Fantasmi e altre meraviglie
In principio, questo libro non era che una semplice domanda: esiste un nucleo centrale nella meditazione che Leopardi ha affidato agli appunti “zibaldoniani”? Un fondamento attorno al quale sia possibile far gravitare il resto del pensiero? Una domanda che si è tradotta in un tentativo: ricostruire l’intero impianto gnoseologico “zibaldoniano” a partire dalle riflessioni sulla facoltà immaginativa. Un lavoro complesso, per il quale è stato necessario far dialogare l’opera leopardiana con il pensiero filosofico antico, dell’Ottocento e del Novecento, e creare una costellazione prospettica che riuscisse a addentrarsi nella materia eterogenea dello Zibaldone. Un viaggio d’esplorazione a ritroso, dalla filosofia contemporanea alla grecità stoica e scettica, volto a indagare il cuore del “sistema” leopardiano attraverso la luce abbagliante dell’immaginazione.
Stories and Portraits of the Self
In contemporary societies privatization has long ceased to be just an economic concept; rather, it must increasingly be made to refer to the ongoing shrinking of the public space under the impact of the representation of individual lives and images, which cuts across all discourses, genres and media to become one of the primary means of production of culture. This volume is intended to cover such an historical, social and intellectual ground, where self-representation comes to the fore. Targeting mostly an academic readership but certainly also of interest to the general educated public, it collects a wide range of essays dealing with diverse modes of life writing and portraying from a varie...
