Echoing Voices in Italian Literature
This collection of essays explores the reception of classics and translation from modern languages as two different, yet synergic, ways of engaging with literary canons and established traditions in 20th-century Italy. These two areas complement each other and equally contribute to shape several kinds of identities: authorial, literary, national and cultural. Foregrounding the transnational aspects of key concepts such as poetics, literary voice, canon and tradition, the book is intended for scholars and students of Italian literature and culture, classical reception and translation studies. With its two shifting focuses, on forms of classical tradition and forms of literary translation, the volume brings to the fore new configurations of 20th-century literature, culture and thought.
The Thousand and One Nights: Sources and Transformations in Literature, Art, and Science
The Thousand and One Nights does not fall into a scholarly canon or into the category of popular literature. It takes its place within a middle literature that circulated widely in medieval times. The Nights gradually entered world literature through the great novels of the day and through music, cinema and other art forms. Material inspired by the Nights has continued to emerge from many different countries, periods, disciplines and languages, and the scope of the Nights has continued to widen, making the collection a universal work from every point of view. The essays in this volume scrutinize the expanse of sources for this monumental work of Arabic literature and follow the trajectory of the Nights’ texts, the creative, scholarly commentaries, artistic encounters and relations to science. Contributors: Ibrahim Akel, Rasoul Aliakbari, Daniel Behar, Aboubakr Chraïbi, Anne E. Duggan, William Granara, Rafika Hammoudi, Dominique Jullien, Abdelfattah Kilito, Magdalena Kubarek, Michael James Lundell, Ulrich Marzolph, Adam Mestyan, Eyüp Özveren, Marina Paino, Daniela Potenza, Arafat Abdur Razzaque, Ahmed Saidy, Johannes Thomann and Ilaria Vitali.
From Ritual to God in the Ancient Near East
This book traces the transformation of the belief systems that shaped life in ancient Near Eastern communities, from prehistoric times until the advent of religious monotheism in the Levant during the first millennium BCE. It offers new insights into the symbolic value embodied in the religious materiality produced in the ancient Near East.
Concordanze liriche
Il volume attraversa opere e autori significativi della lirica novecentesca con analisi e riletture di testi condotte secondo una precisa metodologia concordanziale di pedinamento lessicale all’interno di un sistema poetico di riferimento. Ripercorrere l’evoluzione intratestuale delle parole dei versi, rintracciare la rete che le lega sotterraneamente l’una all’altra e che rivela un di più di senso è la linea guida che governa gli studi critici qui raccolti, articolati in dittici dedicati a voci poetiche di primo piano nel canone lirico italiano del XX secolo. Dopo un saggio di apertura, di taglio tematico e trasversale, si succedono gli approfondimenti sui versi di Sbarbaro, Rebora, Saba, Montale, Quasimodo, Luzi e Sereni che puntano di volta in volta l’attenzione verso segmenti specifici del loro mondo poetico, aggiungendo ulteriori tasselli interpretativi su aspetti più o meno noti e indagati della loro produzione lirica.

Jewish Literatures and Cultures in Southeastern Europe
The volume offers an overview of the diverse Jewish experiences in Southeastern Europe from the 19th to the 21st centuries, and the various forms and strategies of their representation in literature, the arts, historiography and philosophy. Southeastern Europe is characterized by a high degree of ethnical, religious and cultural diversity. Jews, whether Sephardim, Ashkenazim or Romaniots – settling there in different periods – experienced divergent life worlds which engendered rich cultural production. Though recent scholarly and popular interest in this heterogeneous region has grown impressively, Jewish cultural production is still an under-researched area. The volume offers an overview of the diverse Jewish experiences in Southeastern Europe from the 19th to the 21st centuries, and the various forms and strategies of their representation in literature, the arts, historiography and philosophy, thus creating a dialogue between Jewish studies, Balkan studies, and current literary and cultural theories.
The Thousand and One Nights and Twentieth-Century Fiction
It is gradually being acknowledged that the Arabic story-collection Thousand and One Nights has had a major influence on European and world literature. This study analyses the influence of Thousand and One Nights, as an intertextual model, on 20th-century prose from all over the world. Works of approximately forty authors are examined: those who were crucial to the development of the main currents in 20th-century fiction, such as modernism, magical realism and post-modernism. The book contains six thematic sections divided into chapters discussing two or three authors/works, each from a narratological perspective and supplemented by references to the cultural and literary context. It is shown how Thousand and One Nights became deeply rooted in modern world literature especially in phases of renewal and experiment.

La generazione di Sciascia e Pasolini (1921-1925)
In occasione dei due centenari dalla nascita di Leonardo Sciascia (1921) e di Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922), e per celebrare il duraturo sodalizio tra i due scrittori, la Fondazione Leonardo Sciascia ha deciso di allargare il quadro a quegli scrittori, artisti e politici che, nati come loro nel primo lustro di quegli anni Venti, hanno segnato nel nostro Paese la storia della letteratura e delle arti, della politica e del dibattito intellettuale e civile. Una storia della cultura e delle forme espressive scandita per generazioni è ancora da fare; ebbene, questo volume intende innovare il consueto appuntamento dei centenari facendone occasione, per l’appunto, di indagini sincroniche che ai sol...
