If those are questions that bewilder you look no further: this book provides answers and leaves you fully equipped to dig deeper into the fascinating world of world literature in an age of geopolitics.

Echoes of Opera in Modern Italian Poetry

Echoes of Opera in Modern Italian Poetry

Twentieth-century Italian poetry is haunted by countless ghosts and shadows from opera. Echoes of Opera in Modern Italian Poetry reveals their presence and sheds light on their role in shaping that great poetic tradition. This is the first work in English to analyze the influence of opera on modern Italian poetry, uncovering a fundamental but neglected relationship between the two art forms. A group of Italian poets, from Gabriele D’Annunzio to Giorgio Caproni, by way of Umberto Saba and Eugenio Montale, made opera a cornerstone of their artistic craft. More than an occasional stylistic influence, opera is rather analyzed as a fundamental facet of these poets’ intellectual quest to overcome the expressive limitations of lyrical poetry. This book reframes modern Italian poetry in a truly interdisciplinary perspective, broadening our understanding of its prominence within the humanities, in the twentieth century and beyond.

Interconnecting Music and the Literary Word

Dealing with the interconnections between music and the written word, this volume brings into focus an updated range of analytical and interpretative approaches which transcend the domain of formalist paradigms and the purist assumption of music’s non-referentiality. Grouped into three thematic sections, these fifteen essays by Italian, British and American scholars shed light on a phenomenological network embracing different historical, socio-cultural and genre contexts and a variety of theoretical concepts, such as intermediality, the soundscape notion, and musicalisation. At one end of the spectrum, music emerges as a driving cultural force, an agent cooperating with signifying and communication processes and an element functionally woven into the discursive fabric of the literary work. The authors also provide case studies of the fruitful musico-literary dialogue by taking into account the seminal role of composers, singer-songwriters, and performers. From another standpoint, the music-in-literature and literature-in-music dynamics are explored through the syntax of hybridisations, transcoding experiments, and iconic analogies.

  • Publisher: BRILL

Uniting critical writing on novels, poetry, painting, and ritual, this volume takes a regional approach to the cultures of the Caribbean Basin. Ranging across the linguistic spectrum of the area, it examines cultural production from the Anglophone, Francophone, and Hispanophone islands, Suriname and the Guyanas, and ‘Latin’ and Central America. The interdisciplinary nature of the collection and the challenge it poses to the balkanization of the region within academic discourse will make it of especial interest to students and scholars of the Caribbean. Inspired by the category of the ‘Other America’ as developed by Édouard Glissant, the book offers a series of original and stimulati...

Questo volume raccoglie gli atti del secondo convegno di studi sull’Italia organizzato dal Dipartimento di Italiano e Serbo dell’Università di Banja Luka e dall’AIBA (Associazione degli Italianisti nei Balcani), che si è tenuto a Banja Luka (RS/BiH) venerdì 18 e sabato 19 giugno 2010. Il tema del sogno è stato scelto sia per la sua grande valenza simbolica, psicologica, sociale e artistica, sia perché tanti sono i ‘sogni’ legati all’Italia, alla sua cultura, alla sua storia. I lavori qui presentati, a cui hanno contribuito studiosi provenienti da molti paesi europei ed extraeuropei, sono stati divisi in due sezioni: la prima, The Italian Dream, accoglie i contributi che rientrano nell’area della linguistica, della storia della lingua, della filologia e degli studi culturali, mentre la seconda, Sogni e favole io fingo, contiene articoli di ambito letterario, inteso nel senso più ampio del termine. Con questo volume si inaugura anche, presso Aonia edizioni, la collana Italianistica balcanica.

Epifanie entomologiche nella cultura italiana, numero monografico di "Filoloski pregled", XLVI 2019 1

In questo numero monografico di Filoloski pregled ci si propone di indagare la presenza e la metaforologia dell’insetto nella cultura e letteratura italiana anche in prospettiva comparatistica, prendendo in considerazione le seguenti linee di ricerca : rappresentazioni di insetti nella tradizione letteraria italiana: tematizzazioni didascaliche e allegorie entomologiche; trasformazioni diacroniche del motivo entomologico attraverso i secoli e i contesti ; intersezioni fra generi e discorsi letterari/artistici; simboli e stigmi legati all’immagine dell’insetto; riscritture del tema. Sporchi, brulicanti, orribili, ma anche aerei, armonici, ‘sapienti’, gli insetti sono presenze costan...

Tematiche del "sottosuolo" nella letteratura e cultura italiane

I tredici saggi raccolti in questo volume focalizzano la dimensione del 'sottosuolo' nella cultura contemporanea, quando ipogei, bassifondi, zone oscure e nascoste della realtà assumono una funzione differente rispetto al pensiero della classicità. L'età moderna sembra infatti ribaltare il mito platonico, configurando la caverna come luogo della vita effettiva, per quanto squallida, dolorosa, opprimente, mentre il mondo di superficie è zona del traviamento e dell’illusione; anzi nel mondo ctonio la vista, cieca agli stimoli esterni, acquista una maggiore profondità ed acutezza. A questo proposito Remo Cantoni, nel saggio Crisi dell’uomo. Il pensiero di Dostoevskij (1948/1975), affer...
