Ezra's Book
On the afternoon of June 23, 2017, the attendees of the twenty-seventh biannual Ezra Pound International Conference, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, gathered to listen to poets present original work influenced by the life and work of Ezra Pound. With a title playing on the small book of poems Pound produced for fellow poet Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) while the two were still young, this volume offers a selection of poems from that reading, together with images evoking other conference events and the excursions to sites important to Pound, H.D., Marianne Moore, and William Carlos Williams—the “Philadelphia Geniuses” of the conference’s theme. The poems and images herein help to keep the reading and the conference alive, present, and immediate for our readers. The collection includes poems by Charles Bernstein, Eloisa Bressan, Andrei Bronnikov, David Cappella, Silvia Falsaperla, J. Rhett Forman, John Gery, Jeff Grieneisen, Thomas Heffernan, Rodolfo Brandão de Proença Jaruga, Justin Kishbaugh, Mary Maxwell, Biljana D. Obradović, Matthew Porto, Mary de Rachewiltz, Patrizia de Rachewiltz, Michele Reese, and Ron Smith.
Contesting Ethnoarchaeologies
Contesting Ethnoarchaeologies provides a systematic overview of major non-American traditions of ethnoarchaeology, with a particular focus on Europe and Asia. It explores all stages of their research agenda. These ethnoarchaeologies were embedded in theoretical traditions of local archaeologies. Moreover, ethnoarchaeological studies carried out in these different settings targeted a wide range of different issues and addressed numerous questions of covering all sorts of different issues. Consequently, achieved results and data have been largely idiosyncratic and hardly compatible. Hence, this volume aims not only to conceptualize characteristics of these diverse ethnoarchaeologies but more i...
Minority Languages, Microvariation, Minimalism and Meaning
This volume presents a selection of papers from the first international conference of the Irish Network in Formal Linguistics (INFL). INFL is well placed to attract expertise on both microvariation and the linguistics of the Celtic languages, and the volume reflects this expertise. Microvariation approaches the analysis of dialect variation with a focus on how it contributes to the understanding of linguistic theory. The synchronic and diachronic variation examined in this volume includes Irish English, dialects of Italian and dialects of Flemish. Under the linguistic study of Celtic languages, the papers included address important architectural questions in linguistic theory, as well as cha...
Davide Rondoni
In this monograph, Gregory M. Pell provides a full-length study on the poetry of Davide Rondoni, one of Italy’s most active contemporary writers and thinkers. This book includes comparative studies of Jorie Graham, Gjertrud Schnackenberg, Charles Wright, John Ashbery, Patrizia Fazzi, and Mario Luzi. As the first book in English on Davide Rondoni’s poetry, this study explores how the Italian poet deals with art, and the places of art, in a way that transcends the notion of ekphrasis (or, verbal representation of pictorial art) to see poetry as the transcription of an experience with art, thus becoming a sort of anti-ekphrasis, or an atmospheric ekphrasis. The social and religious aspects of art take precedence over aesthetic concerns, without discounting them, in Rondoni’s unsentimental poetry, which takes the form of recitative theatrical monologues. Thus, art becomes more than simple visual representation or the subject of an art history catalogue. Instead, in certain poets, such as Rondoni, we experience life through art’s complete process: from the artist’s originary idea to the work’s execution to our interaction with it in the here and now.

Italy’s Eighteenth Century
In the age of the Grand Tour, foreigners flocked to Italy to gawk at its ruins and paintings, enjoy its salons and cafés, attend the opera, and revel in their own discovery of its past. But they also marveled at the people they saw, both male and female. In an era in which castrati were "rock stars," men served women as cicisbei, and dandified Englishmen became macaroni, Italy was perceived to be a place where men became women. The great publicity surrounding female poets, journalists, artists, anatomists, and scientists, and the visible roles for such women in salons, academies, and universities in many Italian cities also made visitors wonder whether women had become men. Such images, of course, were stereotypes, but they were nonetheless grounded in a reality that was unique to the Italian peninsula. This volume illuminates the social and cultural landscape of eighteenth-century Italy by exploring how questions of gender in music, art, literature, science, and medicine shaped perceptions of Italy in the age of the Grand Tour.
Alla sera la poesia
L’anno scorso sotto la Loggia del Municipio, nel cuore della città, sessanta poeti hanno letto i loro versi durante le cinque serate di pordenonelegge.it davanti ad un pubblico attento e appassionato, dando vita ad una vera e propria festa. Si ripete che è necessario l’approfondimento critico come bussola per orientarsi e dare una direzione al ramificato panorama della contemporaneità, ma non si deve dimenticare che sono altrettanto importanti la condivisione e l’ascolto, senza i quali la poesia perde qualcosa. Non tanto perché l’evento possa sostituire l’esperienza della lettura individuale o la riflessione sulla parola, quanto perché la poesia oggi ha bisogno di essere ascoltata, anche uscendo dalle proprie consuete nicchie. In questi tempi difficili o la poesia accetta questo rischio o diventa un discorso sempre lontano dalle persone a cui vorrebbe rivolgersi.
Pensare l'impossibile
In questo libro matematica e arte si incontrano, confrontando ed esplorando tre oggetti-concetti: nodi, buchi e spazi. Oggetti fisici e concetti astratti allo stesso tempo, i nodi e i buchi sono strumenti di creazione e generatori di forme: si intrecciano e si compenetrano su più piani, ridefinendo le configurazioni e le dinamiche dello spazio. Anche se generalmente non ne siamo consapevoli, nodi e buchi sono onnipresenti, pervadono la nostra vita quotidiana e noi stessi. Queste forme danno luogo a una rigenerazione continua della realtà e partecipano al senso del vero e del bello che avvertiamo nella ricerca incessante per capire il mondo che ci circonda. Nodi e buchi costituiscono elemen...
