Poetics, Ideology, Dissent
This book examines the translations carried out by Italian novelist Beppe Fenoglio, one of the most important Italian writers of the twentieth century. It stems from the acknowledgement that Beppe Fenoglio’s translations have not been examined in the political, cultural and ideological context in which they were produced, but have been dismissed as a purely linguistic exercise. The author examines Fenoglio’s translations as culturally and ideologically informed artistic expressions, in which Fenoglio was able to give voice to his dissent towards the mainstream ideology and poetics of his times, often choosing authors and characters with whom he identified, such as Shakespeare, Milton and Marlowe. The interaction between the theories of Translation Studies, Literary Theory and Adaptation Studies foregrounds the centrality of the role of the translator, showing how Fenoglio’s ideology and poetics were clearly visible both in the selection of the texts he translated and in his translation strategies.
English Classics in Audiovisual Translation
This collection explores the translation of dialogue from the adaptations of literary classics across audiovisual media, engaging with the question of what makes a classic through an audiovisual translation lens. The volume seeks to fill a gap on the translation of classic texts in AVT research which has tended to focus on contemporary media. The book features well-known British literary texts but places a special emphasis on adaptations of the works of Jane Austen and William Shakespeare, figures whose afterlives have mirrored each other in the proliferation of film and television adaptations of their work. Chapters analyze myriad modes of AVT, including dubbing, subtitling, SDH, and voice-...
La Dea della vendetta
“Questa faccenda non è uno scherzo. È dannatamente seria, e a quanto pare causerà uno scandalo infernale.”
Partitocrazia
Che cos’è la democrazia? O meglio in cosa si è trasformata la democrazia oggi? Partitocrazia cerca di rispondere a questa domanda. E non lo fa in modo teorico, bensì calandosi, con sguardo ironico e spietato, nella realtà della moderna società occidentale. Cos’è diventata la democrazia ai nostri occhi... e agli occhi dei politici? I luoghi comuni e meno comuni, la noia e la boria della vita politica vengono qui descritti e analizzati con lucidità fino a rivelare una sola, sconcertante verità... la democrazia non è altro che la maschera dell’oligarchia, il modo più efficace che la classe dirigente abbia trovato per dominare le nazioni senza poter essere scacciati dal popolo o tacciati di tirannia. The Party System è stato scritto nel 1911 ed è una descrizione della vita politica inglese di quel periodo. Eppure la forza profetica di questo libro è indiscutibile. L’ennesima dimostrazione di come un uomo, guardando con attenzione il suo passato e il suo presente, possa aiutarci a comprendere il futuro, il nostro tempo.

Autobiografia di un Dandy
È una straordinaria raccolta di saggi di vario argomento rimasti inediti frutto della collaborazione dell’autore con numerosi giornali e riviste. Piccole perle di acume e intelligenza, che posseggono la capacità di esprimere un giudizio critico con uno stile così elaborato e sottile da farci quasi dimenticare che ci troviamo dinanzi a terribili stroncature.

Pride in Modesty
Following Italy's unification in 1861, architects, artists, politicians, and intellectuals engaged in volatile debates over the pursuit of national and regional identity. Growing industrialization and urbanization across the country was changing the physical, economic, and cultural landscape. Yet at the same time there emerged a rediscovery of traditionally built forms and objects created by the agrarian peasantry. Pride in Modesty argues that these ordinary, often anonymous, everyday things inspired and transformed Italian art and architecture from the 1920's to the 1970's. Through in-depth examinations of texts, drawings, and buildings, Michelangelo Sabatino finds that the folk traditions ...
