Abstract:
This article explores the treatment of the face in the work of Palermo filmmakers Daniele Ciprì and Franco Maresco and proposes several considerations regarding the stark nudity of the face, its rawness and strength, and the relationships that the two filmmakers establish between face and mask. Through an analysis of the cinematic fiction of Maresco and Ciprì – Lo zio di Brooklyn (The Uncle from Brooklyn) (1995), Totò che visse due volte (Totò Who Lived Twice) (1998) and Il ritorno di Cagliostro (The Return of Cagliostro) (2003) – as well as their television work on Cinico TV (1989–96), this a

Abstract Anna Frajlich was exiled from her homeland in 1969 and arrived in the United States a year later. This article traces through her poetry and prose the arc of Frajlich's residence in New York, from wary foreigner, residing in windswept Brooklyn, up to her present status as retired Columbia University faculty member who has made her home on Manhattan's Upper East Side. In other words, from her earliest poem about Brooklyn in 1973 to poems in which she describes events from her apartment on the Upper East Side, published in early 2021.

Abstract This essay explores how Paule Marshall engages issues of leftist politics and homosexuality in “Brooklyn,” her only fiction set during the Cold War. On the surface, this novella, the second in Marshall’s 1961 collection Soul Clap Hands and Sing, is a story of sexual harassment that, she has explained, was based on an experience she had at Brooklyn College. Marshall’s boldness in confronting the sexual and racial politics of the 1950s in the story’s depiction of an African American woman’s sexual harassment by her white professor has been noted by many. But less remarked is the fact th

Abstract:
New York City parks serve as magical sites of discovery and recovery in speculative fiction for young readers, which has gone through a process of modernization, shifting from “universal” and “generic” narratives with repetitive features (derived from Western European folklore) to a sort of “specialization” that emphasizes the particular cultural practices and histories of racially diverse urban populations. Ruth Chew uses city spaces like the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Prospect Park to engage young readers in the magical adventures of white, middle-class children. Zetta Elliott’s African Ame

This paper conducts a comparative analysis of two films by internationally renowned directors made within just a few years of each other - Brooklyn-Gusinje by Serbian filmmaker Želimir Žilnik and Close-Up by Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami. Despite originating from different continents and cultures, these two films share a series of nearly identical directorial approaches, presenting stories where authentic documentary footage resembles fictional form, while the fictional elements in both films appear as documentary records. By analyzing both films, this paper will examine the fundamental pr

Abstract:
Drawing on various theories and approaches, from its application to fiction to its socio-cultural dimensions and presence within communication, this study considers Colm Tóibín’s use of silence as a key narrative element and aesthetic practice in Long Island (2024), inviting some comparisons with its prequel, Brooklyn (2009). As shall be explained, silence operates on different levels in Long Island. Thanks to Tóibín’s tightly controlled release of information, silence becomes crucial to plot development and suspense, and vividly recreates the tensions between concealment and revelation. Silen

Abstract:
My thesis consists of a novel in stories, each taking place in or around the Brooklyn Art Institute. My characters fall along a spectrum of artistic failure, whether because they have lost touch with both their former successes and their former selves, or because they are unable to reach the upper echelons of the artistic community. The stories themselves are a testament both to failure and to the dreams and desires that lead to it, and ultimately ask the reader whether it is better to lead a life of comfortable contentment or to fail gloriously.

Framed by Jacques Derrida’s reading of the archive as a vehicle for social control, this chapter and the following one consider the epistemological pressure that contemporary authors put on baseball history and mythology. Chapter 5 thus examines Mark Winegardner’s The Veracruz Blues (1996) and Kevin King’s All the Stars Came Out That Night (2005), novels that narrativize interracial play before Jackie Robinson’s 1947 start for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Casting doubt on the reliability of their white first-person narrators, both of whom are reporters, Winegardner and King imply the mediated nature

Abstract For a variety of social and historical reasons, sport occupies a different place in American culture than it does in Europe. In the United States sport is the distillation of that competitive spirit that is integral to a free-market culture and it dramatizes vividly the ethos of success that is central to American life. As the Washington Redskins’ George Allen put it, ‘Every time you win, you’re reborn; when you lose, you die a little’, or as Leo Durocher of the Brooklyn Dodgers said ‘Nice Guys finish last’. Sport is also part of the democratic spirit of American society, a revered ar
