The Death of Luigi Trastulli and Other Stories
Portelli offers a new and challenging approach to oral history, with an interdisciplinary and multicultural perspective. Examining cultural conflict and communication between social groups and classes in industrial societies, he identifies the way individuals strive to create memories in order to make sense of their lives, and evaluates the impact of the fieldwork experience on the consciousness of the researcher. By recovering the value of the story-telling experience, Portelli's work makes delightful reading for the specialist and non-specialist alike.
Chiedi di Esposito
Il protagonista pensa che la sua vita si stia disfacendo, sfuggendogli fra le dita. Un giorno, un sogno ripetuto ed indecifrabile e poi una gita in barca che finisce in tragedia impongono un inesorabile ripensamento del proprio percorso umano. Nuotando da solo per ore in un mare forza sette, immerso nel buio della notte e dell’anima, il naufrago ripercorre tutta la sua vita e ricuce la tela di affetti, storie e fallimenti che puntellano la trama della sua storia, spingendo la morte ed il cedimento un po’ più in là, un minuto alla volta, fino ad un’incredibile rivelazione finale. Una storia vera di resilienza, dove la forza dei legami d’affetto va al di là della paura, della stanchezza e della morte stessa e diventa una celebrazione della vita.
Italian Horror Film Directors
There is no cinema with such effect as that of the hallucinatory Italian horror film. From Riccardo Freda's I Vampiri in 1956 to Il Cartaio in 2004, this work recounts the origins of the genre, celebrates at length ten of its auteurs, and discusses the noteworthy films of many others associated with the genre. The directors discussed in detail are Dario Argento, Lamberto Bava, Mario Bava, Ruggero Deodato, Lucio Fulci, Umberto Lenzi, Antonio Margheriti, Aristide Massaccesi, Bruno Mattei, and Michele Soavi. Each chapter includes a biography, a detailed career account, discussion of influences both literary and cinematic, commentary on the films, with plots and production details, and an exhaustive filmography. A second section contains short discussions and selected filmographies of other important horror directors. The work concludes with a chapter on the future of Italian horror and an appendix of important horror films by directors other than the 50 profiled. Stills, posters, and behind-the-scenes shots illustrate the book.
William Faulkner
"William Faulkner (1897-1962) produced such enduring novels as The Sound and the Fury, Light in August, and As I Lay Dying, as well as many short stories. His works continue to be a source of interest to scholars and students of literature, and the immense amount of criticism about the Nobel-prize winner continues to grow. Bassett provides an annotated listing of commentary in English on William Faulkner since the late 1980s. This volume dedicates its sections to book-length studies of Faulkner, commentaries on individual novels and short works, criticism covering multiple works, biographical and bibliographical sources, and other materials such as book reviews, doctoral dissertations, and brief commentaries. This bibliography provides a list of all significant recent commentary on Faulkner, and the annotations direct readers to those materials of most interest to them." -- From back of book.
Smrt Luigiho Trastulliho a jiné příběhy
Soubor esejů Alessandra Portelliho nabízí konečně i českým čtenářům inovativní přístup k orální historii s interdisciplinární a multikulturní perspektivou. Portelli zkoumá kulturní konflikty a komunikaci mezi sociálními skupinami a třídami v průmyslových společnostech 20. století a identifikuje způsob, jakým se jednotlivci snaží vytvářet vzpomínky, aby pochopili svoji životní pouť. Zakládá si na terénní práci a podstatnou váhu přikládá samotnému verbálnímu projevu. Orální historie pro něj není pátrání po pravdivější skutečnosti a přímé zkušenosti, ale perspektiva, která nás upozorňuje na prchavou podstatu historické pravdy jako takové.
