Samuel Beckett’s Italian Modernisms
In the wake of both Joycean and Dantean celebrations, this volume aims to investigate the fecund influence of Italian culture on Samuel Beckett’s work, with a specific focus on the twentieth century. Located at the intersection of historical avant-garde movements and a renewed interest in tradition, Italian modernism reimagined Italy and its culture, projecting it beyond the shadow of fascism. Following in Joyce’s footsteps, Samuel Beckett soon became an attentive reader of Italian modernist authors. These had a profound effect on his early work, shaping his artistic identity. The influence of his early readings found its way also into Beckett’s postwar writing and, most poignantly, in his theatre. The contributions in this collection rekindle the debate around Beckett as modernist author through the lenses of Italian culture. This study will be of particular interest to students and scholars in theatre and performance studies, Italian studies, English studies, and comparative literature.
Rimediazioni
Il volume intende sondare l'eredità "ultramediale" di Samuel Beckett all'interno del panorama tecno-teatrale degli anni Novanta e dei primi anni Duemila. Perlustrando le dinamiche d'interferenza fra scena e media digitali, si riflette su un campione di allestimenti ispirati o influenzati dall'opera beckettiana nel suo complesso. L'indagine sulla funzione rivestita dai dispositivi digitali all'interno dell'economia della performance consente di tracciare una tassonomia a quattro classi. La prima comprende un'unica realizzazione che immette Play in una condizione di Mixed Reality, utilizzando la realtà aumentata quale sistema diegetico. Il secondo filone ragiona sulla categoria estetica del ...
The Jews in Genoa
These volumes of the "Documentary History of the Jews in Italy," illustrate the history of the Jews in Genoa and surroundings from Antiquity to the French Revolution. The earliest documentary evidence takes the form of letters from King Theodoric. For the Middle Ages the documentation is relatively fragmentary and sporadic. Later there is greater abundance of historical evidence, which portrays chiefly the destinies of the Jews in the Republic from the sixteenth century on, when the presence of the Jews became permanent and a regular community was established also in the capital. The historical records presented illustrate mainly the relationship between the government of the Genoese Republi...
Italians to America: March 1904-May 1904
Italians to America is the first indexed reference work devoted to Italian immigrants to the United States. This series contains passenger list information in chronological order on the first major wave of Italian migration during the last two decades of the nineteenth century, as well as the beginning of the twentieth century. As with the highly regarded companion series on German immigrants, Italians to America presents the passenger lists in chronological order, including information on each person's age, sex, occupation, village of origin, and destination, plus the name of the ship, the port of embarkation, and the date of arrival. Each volume also contains an introduction on the history of Italian migration to the U.S. and a full name index, greatly simplifying the researcher's job.
