"During his sojourn, the Maestro kept a notebook in which he recorded everything that caught his eye, from the natives' peculiar manners and dialect to the fast-changing scenery on his walks along picturesque trails. These notes and impressions gave way to poems, illustrations, and storylines, all merging into a seemingly experimental text encompassing graphic art, fiction, and autobiography. The Coazze Notebook, as it came to be known, is a compendium of literary criticism, illuminating and emotionally charged personal reflections, vernacular expressions, and sharply observed geographical descriptions. The notes are fragmentary, and occasionally embellished, but they shed light on Pirandello's mode of thought and, in particular, how the ideas he gathered from real life were incorporated into his writing."-From the Introduction by Lisa Sarti

Dieses Buch stellt erstmalig das Werk des italienischen Schriftstellers Paolo Volponi in seinem gesamten Umfang auf dem deutschen Buchmarkt vor. Damit wird ein Autor in Deutschland bekannt gemacht, dessen Literatur im Kern zu definieren ist als die politisch motivierte kritische Darstellung des Geschichtsverlaufs in Italien vom Prozess der Einigung im 19. Jahrhundert bis zum Ende der Ersten Republik und dem Übergang in die Ära Berlusconi in den 1990er Jahren. Die drei Momente des Geschichtlichen - Lebensgeschichte der Figuren, Geschichte der italienischen Gesellschaft und erzählte Geschichte - bedingen und ergänzen sich bei Volponi in einer Weise, dass aus ihrem Zusammenspiel eine Art allegorische Spiegelung der dargestellten Epoche resultiert. Volponi steht der Gruppe der italienischen 'Neoavanguardia' nahe, womit das Politische in sein Werk integriert wird - wie vergleichsweise bei Enzensberger, an dessen prosaischen Begriff des Lyrischen Volponi erinnert. Ein Buch (nicht nur) für Historiker, Literaturwissenschaftler und v.a. für Studierende der Italianistik.

Opening to passion as an unsettling, transformative force; extending desire to the text, expanding the self, and dissolving its boundaries; imagining pleasures outside the norm and intensifying them; overcoming loss and reaching beyond death; being loyal to oneself and defying productivity, resolution, and cohesion while embracing paradox, non-linearity, incompletion. These are some of the possibilities of lyric that this book explores by reading Petrarch's vernacular poetry in dialogue with that of other poets, including Guido Cavalcanti, Dante, and Shakespeare. In the Epilogue, the poet Antonella Anedda Angioy engages with Ossip Mandelstam and Paul Celan's dialogue with Petrarch and extends it into the present.

In this apostolic letter Pope Francis celebrates the seventh centenary of the death of Dante Alighieri, the poet who "knew how to express, with the beauty of poetry, the depth of the mystery of God and love" (Introduction) in the universal work that is the Divine Comedy. Other Popes have already spoken of Dante, of his artistic genius and of his profound faith. In fact, Dante presents his journey from hell to purgatory and paradise as a path of rebirth and conversion. He is thus "the messenger of a new existence, the prophet of a new humanity yearning for peace and happiness" (3).

. . . A strong sense of commonality is that necessary ingredient for the population to cohere and this to progress: for the study of all things Italian/American to become part and parcel of the dominant culture, as it is for other United States hyphenated groups.All of this is dependent on an Italian/American commitment (impegno) to the appreciation of our culture. This entails an active participation in cultural activities of all sorts; it requires that Italian/American groups make a concerted effort to go beyond those one or two activities they have identified as their own, and make attempts to expand their agenda to include a new, more encompassing form of cultural integration. All of this, as we shall see, is dependent on a combination of cultural awareness and appreciation: namely a new sense of the Italian/American self that ultimately leads to an appropriation of one’s cultural legacy.—From the introduction

What do we know of the city of Rome, beyond the repertoire of images of universally recognisable monuments? In this new volume, architects, planners, historians, literary and film theorists come together to discuss the city beyond the walls: the city where the majority of Romans live, and the extended city of the Romans themselves. Beyond its heritage status, Rome today is a metropolis facing the same challenges as any major city, yet continuingly shaped by both its imaginary and its real landscape. Particular time periods and lesser-known cultural artefacts are discussed as factors that have made Rome the city it is now, both for those who visit in such large numbers and for those who live there.Lesley Caldwell is Honorary Professor in the Psycho­analysis Unit, and Honorary Senior Research Associate in the Department of Italian, at University College London. Fabio Camilletti is Reader in Italian at the University of Warwick.

This book is primarily a literary study of Rousseau's account of his diplomatic experiences in Venice, contained in book 7 of the Confessions and written in 1769. The author analyzes Rousseau's methods of achieving an artistic rendering of psychological truth in autobiography, as exemplified in his treatment of the events of 1742-1749. Professor Madeleine Ellis contributes to an understanding of Rousseau as a creative artist and positions him vis-à-vis the classical and romantic movements. Ellis collates the text of the Confessions with contemporary correspondence and other documents to show how discrepancies between the two have artistic implications. These implications lead her to define Rousseau's principles and methods as a man of letters and the interrelations of art and truth in his memoirs. In revealing that Rousseau, the memorialist, gives an artistic rendering of psychological truth, Ellis shows Rousseau's attitude toward truth. She does this by following a path of analysis unexplored by previous critics but indicated by Rousseau himself when he says, "It is the story of my soul that I have promised... I record not so much the events of my life as the state of my soul as they happened." Ultimately, the objective of this study is to illustrate the artistic means--literary and rhetorical--employed by Rousseau and their implications for the truth he proposed.

«Tracciare una Storia di Marina per Poemi. Seguendo il filo delle grandi composizioni degli anni Venti cui lei stessa affida il significato di massima testimonianza spirituale; col desiderio di cogliere in questo affresco di splendore e afflizione, affollato di tutti i suoi fantasmi, l'essenza di un mondo interiore sterminato. "Sette Poemi" scelti tra i complessivi ventuno e appartenenti alla prima fase dell'emigrazione, quando la Russia sovietica è alle spalle e Elabuga di là da venire; tramati di premonizioni e consonanze oniriche, e sorretti da una retorica di nuovissimo conio, da un sentimento fratello a quello che anima la voce del tribuno Majakovskij. A questi canti il respiro emotivo della singola lirica va stretto, e Cvetaeva trova l'orizzonte loro piú acconcio nella cornice distesa del poema. Quando Boris Pasternak addita «il tendere al poema» di tutti i cicli cvetaeviani, coglie il sottile crinale che corre tra i due versanti: se virtualmente ogni sua costellazione di liriche aspira a farsi poema, il passaggio si realizza solo laddove il disegno complessivo giunga alla perfetta coerenza di forma e temi. Inanellati uno sull'altro, i Poemi degli anni Venti traboccano di reciproche risonanze, vibrano degli stessi, elettrici impulsi, dominati come sono dalla volontà di oltrepassare le barriere della finzione per generare accadimenti e incontri palpabili, porre riparo a eventi già occorsi, istituire orizzonti inediti.» (dall'Introduzione di Paola Ferretti)

Alongside questioning pre-given narratives of the 'history of the unconscious', this book will employ the Italian 'difference' as a powerful perspective from whence to address the undeveloped potentialities of the pre-Freudian unconscious, beyond uniquely psychoanalytical viewpoints.

"New Italian Voices" is an eclectic and vibrant collection of poetry, short stories, essays, theater, and prose by twenty authors from fifteen countries writing today in Italy, in Italian. These accomplished, award-winning authors of growing international acclaim come from India and Syria, Eastern Europe, North and sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Italy.Over the past three decades, Italy has become a destination for people driven from their homelands by economic, political, and cultural forces. The resulting demographic and social changes have largely been defined negatively by Italian media. Scaremongering headlines paint a picture of assault on the Italian coasts, a mass invasion disassociated from news about the labor market and linked instead to growing concerns about security.Excluded and objectified in political, legal, and media narratives, migrants challenge those discourses with literary narratives, and their new voices offer a variety of transnational experiences and transcultural sensibilities, exemplifying a broad range of themes and literary strategies."Blum and Contrada furnish elegant and enjoyable translations…in this original collection of poetic, autobiographical, theatrical, and prose excerpts and provide an excellent theoretical introduction.… A major contribution." — Carol Lazzaro-Weis, University of Missouri"What an astounding range of subject matter and style in this brilliantly edited cornucopia!" — Benjamin Taylor, author of "Naples Declared: A Walk Around the Bay"A cogently well-organized anthology of new voices that have populated the Italian literary landscape for some time now. In today’s world of literal and metaphorical border crossings and re-definitions of identities, New Italian Voices is an excellent reflection of the changes taking place in Italy today, a country no longer just of departure but indeed of arrival. Blum and Contrada have offered us an indispensable tool in our arsenal of re-considering "Italian" literature! — Anthony Julian Tamburri, Dean, John D. Calandra Italian American InstitutePreface, introduction, biobibliographical notes. 282 pages.
