Il Decameron di Boccaccio narra di un gruppo di ragazzi che decide di ritirarsi in una villa di campagna per sfuggire alla peste e di raccontare ogni giorno, a turno, una storia per sfuggire alla noia. Oggi, in un’epoca segnata dalla pandemia, da un recente passato di confinamenti e restrizioni e da una guerra in atto alle porte dell'Europa, è stato chiesto a dieci autori di prendere il posto di quei dieci ragazzi. Il risultato è questa raccolta LGBT. Flavio Mazzini ripercorre i suoi anni giovanili nell’ambiente gay romano degli anni ‘90, tra ironia e nostalgia. Lisa Arsani ci racconta la storia d’amore tra due giovani ragazzi, collocando sullo sfondo una Bologna pittoresca. E poi ...
A Companion to the Renaissance in Southern Italy offers readers unfamiliar with Southern Italy an introduction to different aspects of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century history and culture of this vast and significant area of Europe, situated at the center of the Mediterranean. Commonly regarded as a backward, rural region untouched by the Italian Renaissance, the essays in this volume paint a rather different picture. The expert-written contributions present a general survey of the most recent research on the centers of southern Italy, as well as insight into the ground-breaking debates on wider themes, such as the definition of the city, continuity and discontinuity at the turn of the s...
Every third year, the members of the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies (IANLS) assemble for a week-long conference. Over the years, this event has evolved into the largest single conference in the field of Neo-Latin studies. The papers presented at these conferences offer, then, a general overview of the current status of Neo-Latin research; its current trends, popular topics, and methodologies. In 2022, the members of IANLS gathered for a conference in Leuven where 50 years ago the first of these congresses took place.This volume presents the conference’s papers which were submitted after the event and which have undergone a peer-review process. The papers deal with a broad range of fields, including literature, history, philology, and religious studies.

A medida que se iban leyendo los relatos compartidos en el taller, se percibía claramente el valor intrínseco y la dignidad creativa de algunos de los textos compartidos, hasta el punto de que la idea de proceder a su publicación parecía casi automática, también y sobre todo para mantener el espíritu de compartir que los inspiró inicialmente: compartir con un lector típico dispuesto a perder unas buenas horas de lectura en un universo original y, de hecho, surrealista que cada uno de estos relatos contribuye a construir. Vito davoli El resultado es una colección de relatos que incursiona en los dominios del surrealismo puro, no contaminado por otros géneros y que no tiende al inti...
La Querelle des Femmes surgió hace más de seis siglos para responder a la necesidad perentoria de las mujeres de acceder a derechos elementales, manipulados por una sociedad patriarcal muy afianzada ya por el discurso y la práctica de siglos precedentes. Mujer a mujer y grupo a grupo la Querella se convirtió en un movimiento imparable, pero lento, que ha llegado hasta nuestros días. Esta obra supone, dentro de la Querelle des Femmes, la parte más fructífera, la que más estudios ha generado entre las investigadoras modernas y la que más interés ha suscitado en el público no especializado. No en vano podemos decir que fue el germen de la Querelle al mismo tiempo que su leitmotiv. Destacamos el conmovedor testimonio de Graziella Proto y el homenaje in memoriam a Julio Neira.
The end of the Second World War saw the emergence of neorealist film in Italy. In Italian Neorealist Cinema, Christopher Wagstaff analyses three neorealist films that have had significant influence on filmmakers around the world. Wagstaff treats these films as assemblies of sounds and images rather than as representations of historical reality. If Roberto Rossellini's Roma città aperta and Paisà, and Vittorio De Sica's Ladri di biciclette are still, half a century after they were made, among the most highly valued artefacts in the history of cinema, Wagstaff suggests that this could be due to the aesthetic and rhetorical qualities of their assembled narratives, performances, locations, lig...
