Full textAbstract:
This thesis constitutes the first detailed study of the life and works (published and unpublished) of the writer Giovanna Zangrandi (1910-1988). It is a study of the relationship between autobiography, fiction and history in her writing, in the light of recent developments in the criticism of autobiography and of feminist historiography and literary criticism. It aims to place Zangrandi's work in its historical and literary context and pays particular attention to the periods of fascism, the Resistance and neorealism. The thesis considers the nature of autobiography, and the implications of women writing about themselves, and analyses Zangrandi's use of autobiography, highlighting the inevitable intrusion of fiction into such writing. It uses that analysis, along with material including Zangrandi's unpublished diaries and testimonies of people who knew her, to write a biography of Zangrandi and to examine the way that she writes about the fascist period and the Resistance. The question of representing real life in fiction, rather than autobiography, is also discussed, with reference to Zangrandi's first novel and to neorealism. It is shown that, as well as her constant interest in the lives of women, her attitude to history and traditions of the Cadore, the mountainous region in the north of the Veneto, where she lived all her adult life and where nearly all her novels, short stories and autobiography are set, is of considerable importance. Her writing about the Cadore can be seen both as an attempt to write herself into those traditions, and as a means of expressing her commitment to improving society. Moreover, it is argued, her commitment takes the form of both autobiography and fiction as her concern to write about lived experience is balanced by a constant interest in the story-telling tradition of the Cadore and an interpretation of fiction that judges it to be an integral part of everyday life.

Full textAbstract:
As women's literature emerged in late nineteenth-century Italy, female authors encountered many obstacles. Foremost among them was the near-total absence of Italian female literary role models. Female writers often expressed ambivalence towards the writing of other women, which was considered inferior to male writing. However, their reverence for male writers revealed how conflictive their identities as writers were, and it was an impediment to the establishment of a serious women's literary tradition. In addition to such personal conflicts, these writers also faced the challenge of gaining acceptance by the male-dominated literary community and by their readers. These two groups expected that women's writing conform to a moral code which did not apply to men's writing. This thesis is an analysis of the specific problems that female novelist Bruno Sperani and others faced as they strove to establish themselves in Italian literature.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis is divided into three parts. Part One treats Beni's life and works from his birth in 1553 to 1604. His birth, his ancestry, his early education, his early careers, his Jesuit career and its aftermath are described from documentary evidence. His works of this period, most of which are inextricably connected with his life, are also briefly treated, Part Two narrates the events of the remainder of his life: his writing, his teaching, his publishing, his polemical writing, his relationship with his family, his last illness and death. Part Three provides a more ample critical assessment of his major writings after 1604, grouped according to subject-matter. Chapters are devoted to his criticism of Tasso, to his linguistic writings, to his theory and practice of poetry, history and rhetoric. The conclusion summarizes the pattern of his life and reassesses his importance. The Bibliography is divided into two parts. The first contains Beni's writings in three sections: (a) published works, with a note on the Opera omnia; (b) MS works; (c) a chronological reference list of his (mostly unpublished) letters. Part Two contains all other works consulted, MS and printed.

The aim of this research paper is to analyse the literary works and the writers of Italian origin who have actively contributed to the creation of Italian-Canadian immigration literature, and above all, that referent to the Montreal milieu. For this and other reasons, it distinguishes itself from other Italian-Canadian productions and precisely due to this reality, the objective of this research is to: (1) examine its role, its characteristics, the difficulties its writers experience, its literary artistic value and the recognition it receives in our literary environment; (2) compare the creative approach adopted by some writers to the perfect example, Primo Levi; (3) expose its contents and reoccurring themes; (4) examine the question of the literary language of expression of these works; (5) demonstrate the social usefulness of this literary production.

Claasen, Sigrid Ulrike. "The black madonna figure as a source of female empowerment in the works of four Italian-Canadian authors (Nina Ricci, Frank G. Paci, Vittorio Rossi, Marco Micone)." Mémoire, Université de Sherbrooke, 1997. http://savoirs.usherbrooke.ca/handle/11143/2001.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with the image of the black madonna, a pre-Christian female deity, in the works of four Italian-Canadian authors: the works include Nina Ricci's novel Lives of the Saints, Frank G. Paci's novel Black Madonna, Vittorio Rossi's play The Last Adam, and Marco Micone's play Addolorata. The black madonna, the central figure of this thesis, is not an exclusively Italian phenomenon. Most people probably associate her with the image of the Southern European, predominantly old, often Italian peasant woman, who is dressed in black clothes from head to toe. The black madonna statues, however, are possibly connected with the veneration of a female divinity, the Great Mother, Great Goddess, primordial goddess, and even earth mother. In his early myth and folklore collection, Sir George Frazer concluded that the "great Mother Goddess (of Western Asia), the personification of all the reproductive energies of nature, was worshipped under different names but with a substantial similarity of myth and ritual" (Frazer 299).

Full textAbstract:
La seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle est une période de recherche et d’expérimentation dramatiques qui se traduisent, au sein de la programmation du théâtre de la Comédie-Italienne de Paris, en la conception d’une soixantaine de canevas italiens inédits, mis en scène par les acteurs-auteurs de la troupe italienne du théâtre, entre 1760 et 1779, année de la « suppression » du genre italien. À travers le dépouillement des sources périodiques, contenant les résumés des soirées et les récits des performances, des registres du théâtre, ouvrant l’accès aux effectifs des troupes, cette thèse propose la reconstitution du répertoire de pièces italiennes d’acteur et l’étude de la dramaturgie de ce spectacle parisien durant la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle. À partir des années 1760, la pratique de la scène, les modalités créatives et représentatives de la commedia dell’arte migrent vers les dramaturgies adjacentes à l’intérieur d’un répertoire mixte, français et italien, en donnant lieu à des phénomènes d’« hybridation » permettant de pérenniser la dramaturgie italienne et la « pratique » scénique des comédiens italiens, à l’intérieur des comédies des dramaturges français qui écrivent pour ce théâtre : J.-F. Cailhava de l’Estandoux et de J.-P. Claris de Florian. Il sera donc question de relire la « suppression » du genre italien en 1779, en les termes d’une « réexistence », en étudiant la portée globale du répertoire et de la dramaturgie italienne du point de vue de leur évolution, durant la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, au sein du contexte productif et de la palette représentative de la Comédie-Italienne<br>The second half of the eighteenth century represents a period of research and experimentation in dramatics that manifest themselves, within the theater’s programs of the Comédie-Italienne. These experimentations materialize in approximately sixty unpublished Italian plots, directed by the actors-authors of the Italian company between 1760 and 1779, year of the “suppression” of the Italian genre. Sorting through periodical sources, that include summaries of the evening performances and performances’s telling, and theater’s registers, which give the access to the acting company, this thesis intends to recreate the company’s repertoire of Italian plays. The intention is also to study the dramatic art of this Parisian show during the second half of the eighteenth century. From the 1760s, the experience of the stage, the creative and representative modalities of the commedia dell’arte slide towards closed dramaturgies inside a mixed repertoire French and Italian. It generates “hybrid” phenomena that give the possibility to preserve the Italian dramatic art and the scenic “technique” of the Italian comic actors, within the plays of French playwrights who have written for this theater: J.-F. Cailhava de l’Estandoux et de J.-P. Claris de Florian. This thesis will provide a rereading of the “suppression” of the Italian genre in 1779, in terms of “rebirth”. Then it will analyze the complete impact of the Italian repertoire and the dramatic art inside the productive context and the representative range of the Comédie-Italienne from the outlook of their evolution during the second half of the eighteenth century<br>La seconda metà del XVIII secolo è un periodo di ricerca e sperimentazione drammatica che sfociano,nell’ambito della programmazione del teatro della Comédie-Italienne di Parigi, nella creazione di unasessantina di canovacci italiani inediti allestiti e rappresentati dagli attori-autori della compagnia italiana delteatro, tra il 1760 e il 1779, anno della « soppressione » del genere italiano.

A partire dal 1760 la pratica scenica, le modalità compositive e rappresentativedella commedia dell’arte migrano verso le forme drammaturgiche ad essa vicine all’interno di un repertoriobilingue, francese e italiano dando luogo a fenomeni di « ibridazione » che permettono la fissazione delladrammaturgia italiana e della pratica teatrale degli attori italiani, nella produzione francese degli autori checompogono per questo teatro : J.-F.

Lo studio dell’ampiezzadel repertorio e della drammaturgia italiana, considerati dal punto di vista dell’evoluzione che subiscono inseno al contesto produttivo e all’offerta rappresentativa della Comédie-Italienne, permette di rileggere la« soppressione » del genere italiano avvenuta nel 1779 come « riesistenza » e « perennizzazione » di questogenere<br>Die zweite Hälfte des 18.

Durch die Aufarbeitung publizistischer Quellen, die neben Kritikenund Inhalten dieser Abende auch Theaterregister beinhalten, und somit einen Zugang zum Personalbestandder Truppe eröffnen, wird in der vorliegenden Dissertation eine Rekonstruktion des Repertoires deritalienischen Schauspielerstücke sowie die Untersuchung der Dramaturgie dieser Pariser Vorstellungen derzweiten Hälfte des 18.

Squires, Michele B. "Marcel Schwob Digital Collection." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2008. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/1355.
Full textAbstract:
This project outlines the discovery and digitization of previously unpublished correspondence composed by late 19th century author and literary critic, Marcel Schwob. Inspired by the inquiry of Bibliothèque Nationale Librarian Bernard Gauthier, Professor Daryl Lee alerted me to the presence of Marcel Schwob materials at BYU. I found that former BYU Professor John Green established a Marcel Schwob Memorial Collection and successfully published two books using the materials he gathered: Chroniques and Correspondance Inédite. After thoroughly researching the catalogued Schwob materials at BYU and comparing the contents to other Schwob publications, I found 72 previously unpublished letters. The majority of the letters (62) were written by Schwob to family members, and the remaining 9 letters were written to Schwob by colleagues. International interest in Marcel Schwob materials is one of many indicators representing renewed interest in the author, his work, and his influence. Recent publications also reflect growing Schwob interest. In Marcel Schwob, d'hier et d'aujourd'hui (2002), Christian Berg and Yves Vadé shed new light on Schwob through the observations of his contemporaries and modern-day essays on the importance of his contes. In addition, Jean Lorrain: Lettres à Marcel Schwob (2006) furthers the effort to better understand Schwob through a collection of correspondence. In light of this renewed interest, I determined that the previously unpublished correspondence would serve as a useful research tool for Schwob scholars. With the guidance and assistance of employees at the Harold B. Lee Library, I subsequently converted the correspondence into a digital publication. Creating a digital publication is a multifaceted undertaking requiring the involvement and expertise of different individuals and library departments. I successfully learned how to use both the hardware and software involved in the digitization process, thereby facilitating my completion of project deliverables, including: scanning and transcribing the letters; writing letter summaries (in both French and English), extracting names, and completing other metadata; uploading metadata using the Lee Library's external database; establishing authority control records; writing website content (in both French and English), and publicizing the project. This document contains the major deliverables found in the digital publication, specifically the website content, the letter transcriptions, and the metadata.

Dans ce travail on essaye de donner une définition et une historicisation de ce qu’on appelle « littérature italienne de la migration ». Il y a tout de suite une distinction à faire entre les écrivains étrangers qui écrivaient en italien avant le grand flux migratoire des années ’80 et ceux qui sont issus de cette vague, dont la thèse s’occupe dans une manière plus spécifique (années 1989-2007). Les changements sociaux et culturels que les nouveaux immigrés ont apporté, ont transformé l’Italie de pays d’émigration en pays d’immigration. Au niveau littéraire ces écrivains ont d’abord utilisé un langage standard, pour se faire comprendre du public et pour témoigner les difficultés du voyage migratoire et de l’intégration ;les dernières œuvres, pourtant, analysées dans la deuxième partie de la thèse, ont été écrites par des écrivains qui manipulent plus facilement la langue italienne, utilisant un plurilinguisme témoin d’un lien très stricte entre oralité et écriture, et entre langue d’origine et langue d’accueil. Enfin, les oeuvres des écrivains italophones postcoloniaux et de ceux issus de la deuxième génération peuvent rapporter la littérature italienne contemporaine avec des autres situation (France, Allemagne, Angleterre, Etats Unis) qui semblent très similaires.<p><p><p>ENGLISH: On this work we want to give a definition about “Italian Migrant Literature”.

Papworth, Amelia. "A forgotten bestselling author : Laura Terracina in early modern Naples." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2019. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/290109.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation provides a critical assessment of Laura Terracina (1519-c.1577) and her works. It argues that she was a consummate product of her age, embodying the tensions which ruled the Italian peninsula. Terracina published eight books and left a ninth in manuscript at the time of her death, winning legions of admirers and making her sixteenth-century Italy's most commercially successful female author. Yet in spite of her enormous popularity amongst her contemporaries, scholarship has largely neglected Terracina. This dissertation will open up an overdue field of enquiry into her life and works, exploring the significance of her role as a sixteenth-century female poet through the lenses of gender and class. By mapping her place in the literary landscape, it is hoped that this thesis will encourage scholars to afford Terracina the attention she so richly deserves. The first chapter of the dissertation situates Terracina as a poet of Naples, seeing her as a product of her family's political standing within the city, her academician status, and her own construction of an urban coterie of supporters. The second chapter considers the mechanics of the journey into print, assessing Terracina's own input and her close collaboration with male editors and publishers. It proposes a greater attribution of agency to Terracina than has thus far been made, arguing that she is, in fact, an important figure in the process of her texts reaching the hands of readers. The third chapter considers how the poet used her printed books as social tools, employing them to gain social and literary capital. The second section of the dissertation looks at two thematic strands within Terracina's poetry. Chapter four considers her political poetry, including her attitude towards the harm done to civilian populations across Europe. Chapter five looks at the religious dimension to Terracina's work, the spiritual poetry written in her later years, and the relationship this bears to her secular lyric. Finally, the dissertation concludes with a chapter on the contemporary reception of Terracina's texts, providing preliminary thoughts on how she was read, before closing with a consideration of her literary afterlife in the centuries that followed.

Full textAbstract:
Homme-théâtre, Dario Fo s’inscrit dans un continuel processus de définition de l’auteur comme acteur et de l’acteur comme auteur, qui passe par une affirmation de sa double place en scène et dans la vie publique. Il se fait ainsi le créateur d’une façon de faire du théâtre non pas radicalement neuve mais singulière et qui se distingue dans le panorama théâtral de son temps en envahissant d’autres domaines d’activité et de compétence, ce qui lui permet de conquérir une reconnaissance globale à la fois comme histrion et comme intellectuel. La première partie de la thèse analyse les processus de création pour voir comment Dario Fo se montre auteur en tant qu’écrivain, en tant que comédien et en tant que metteur en scène ou plutôt chef de troupe. La deuxième partie prend en considération la façon dont la figure d’auteur est présentée au public : dans la construction d’un réseau de sens qui donne une cohérence à l’ensemble de l’œuvre, dans la fixation de cette œuvre par des processus d’édition, de captation et d’archivage, et par la diffusion des spectacles en Italie et dans le monde, en présence de l’acteur-auteur ou non. La troisième partie, enfin, revient sur la construction d’une autorité intellectuelle, dans l’élévation de Fo au statut de porte-parole politique et de maître à penser<br>Dario Fo is a theatre-man whose work ceaselessly redefines the author as an actor and the actor as an author, in a process that claims his dual position on stage and in public life. He thus creates an approach to theatre that, though not radically new, distinguishes itself in the theatrical landscape of his time, by encroaching on other fields of activity and competency, earning him a global recognition as an actor and intellectual. The first part of this study analyzes the creative process and shows how Dario Fo stages himself as an author through writing, acting and directing. The second part considers how the authorial figure is presented to the public : as part of a larger network of references that lends coherence to his work as a whole, in the fixation of this work through publishing, audio and video-recording and archiving, and through the circulation of his productions in Italy and the world, with or without his presence. The third part analyzes the construction of his intellectual authority, his promotion to the status of political spokesman and mentor

Full textAbstract:
Plagiarism may have accompanied acts of creation, either endorsing or contradicting them. Esteemed as a general rule of literature or censured as literary larceny, it embodies the disavowal of authorship in the intellectual works of others and thus breaches their right to be acknowledged as authors, while also feasibly deceiving the public and, in any case, contradicting the universal rule of creative imitation. Historically entangled with the concepts of counterfeiting and piracy, it only later reached an autonomous collocation as a violation of the moral right of attribution. Placed in the broadest context of copyright law, it yet struggles against its confinement to a strict legal characterisation, given its colourful appearance and inherent inconsistency according to the type of works or field of knowledge to which it relates, thus refuting any unyielding interpretation. In such a mutable context, the purpose of this research, which revolves around the systems of Italy and the United Kingdom, is to explore a view of plagiarism that appreciates the different instances in which a genuine borrowing or a deceitful practice appear, considering the dimension of copyright infringement, but also looking at other possible legal and non-legal means of construal. Given these premises, an accurate exploration of the phenomenon requires a preliminary consideration of the manifold literature on the subject, which increasingly progresses together with the development of technology and social practices. Furthermore, its literal absence in statutory law does not impede finding a collocation in the context of the judiciary, which is analysed with reference to the legal systems of both Italy and the United Kingdom. This does not infer that courts deliver a flawless and unfailing interpretation of plagiarism. On the contrary, a careful reading of the ruling confirms that the narrow realm of copyright law is shrinking. However, the unpredictability of the statutory and judicial approach towards plagiarism may also be welcomed as an attempt by the law to acknowledge the difficulty to appraise its complexity. Therefore, the present study openly adopts an interdisciplinary and comparative analysis that may help to describe its controversial legal breadth while also possibly unravelling any other principled range.

Ce travail de recherche s’interroge sur l’usage des langues dialectales dans le théâtre italien contemporain. De fait, celles-ci restent une source d’inspiration importante dans les créations les plus innovantes des trente dernières années, malgré l’affirmation de l’italien sur tout le territoire national depuis l’Unité. Cette étude s’interroge sur les valeurs et les enjeux de ces langues dialectales dans un théâtre actuel qui est, pour une part importante, le fait d’acteurs-auteurs : ainsi, la relation qui s’établit entre l’artiste, à la fois créateur et interprète, et la langue théâtrale, s’appuie sur une approche de l’élément langagier qui est aussi fondamentalement pré-cognitive, voire corporelle.Après avoir élucidé dans un premier temps les dynamiques linguistiques à l’œuvre dans le théâtre italien depuis l’Unité, cette étude se resserre autour de la pratique de cinq acteurs-auteurs contemporains : Marco Paolini, Ascanio Celestini, Spiro Scimone (Compagnia Scimone Sframeli), Emma Dante (Compagnia Sud Costa Occidentale) et Enzo Moscato. L’analyse du parcours de chacun de ces artistes, ainsi que d’une œuvre en particulier, se propose d’établir une cartographie du théâtre italien contemporain puisant dans les dialectes la matière de sa langue théâtrale.

This study deals with the values and with what is at stake in these dialectal languages in today's theater which is, most of the time, created by actors-authors: therefore, the relationship between the artist, who is both creator and performer, and dramatic language, relies on a way of tackling the linguistic element that is fundamentally precognitive and corporal as well.After having cleared up the linguistic dynamics in the Italian theater since the Unification ; the study focuses on the work of five contemporary actors-authors: Marco Paolini, Ascanio Celestini, Spiro Scimone (Compagnia Scimone Sframeli), Emma Dante (Compagnia Sud Costa Occidentale) and Enzo Moscato. Studying the work of these artists, as well as a specific play, intends to draw up a cartography of the contemporary Italian theater that is inspired by dialect languages to create its own dramatic language. The study aims to lay emphasis on the convergence lines of creations which deals with three key notions, at the core of the study: time, territory and identity. These three notions will be progressively redefined and precised by working on the idea of limit and boundary<br>Questo lavoro di ricerca si interroga sull’uso delle lingue dialettali nel teatro italiano contemporaneo. Infatti, esse restano un’importante fonte d’ispirazione nelle creazioni più innovative degli ultimi trent’anni, nonostante l’affermarsi dell’italiano sull’intero territorio nazionale a partire dall’Unità. Questo studio si interroga sui valori e sul peso di queste lingue dialettali nel teatro odierno che, in larga parte, viene realizzato da attori-autori: perciò, la relazione che si stabilisce tra l’artista, insieme creatore ed interprete, e la lingua teatrale è fondata su un approccio fondamentalmente pre-cognitivo, e perfino corporeo, dell’elemento linguistico.Dopo aver chiarito, in un primo momento, le dinamiche linguistiche in atto nel teatro italiano sin dall’Unità, questo studio si accentra intorno alla pratica di cinque attori-autori contemporanei: Marco Paolini, Ascanio Celestini, Spiro Scimone (Compagnia Scimone Sframeli), Emma Dante (Compagnia Sud Costa Occidentale) e Enzo Moscato. L’analisi del percorso di ognuno di questi artisti, nonché di una loro opera in particolare, mira a stabilire una cartografia del teatro italiano contemporaneo che attinge dai dialetti la materia della propria lingua teatrale. Si tratta di evidenziare le linee di fuga di creazioni che interrogano tre nozioni-chiave al cuore dell’analisi: il tempo, il territorio e l’identità, nozioni affinate e progressivamente ridefinite da una costante riflessione sul concetto di limite e di confine

Full textAbstract:
Plagiarism may have accompanied acts of creation, either endorsing or contradicting them. Esteemed as a general rule of literature or censured as literary larceny, it embodies the disavowal of authorship in the intellectual works of others and thus breaches their right to be acknowledged as authors, while also feasibly deceiving the public and, in any case, contradicting the universal rule of creative imitation. Historically entangled with the concepts of counterfeiting and piracy, it only later reached an autonomous collocation as a violation of the moral right of attribution. Placed in the broadest context of copyright law, it yet struggles against its confinement to a strict legal characterisation, given its colourful appearance and inherent inconsistency according to the type of works or field of knowledge to which it relates, thus refuting any unyielding interpretation. In such a mutable context, the purpose of this research, which revolves around the systems of Italy and the United Kingdom, is to explore a view of plagiarism that appreciates the different instances in which a genuine borrowing or a deceitful practice appear, considering the dimension of copyright infringement, but also looking at other possible legal and non-legal means of construal. Given these premises, an accurate exploration of the phenomenon requires a preliminary consideration of the manifold literature on the subject, which increasingly progresses together with the development of technology and social practices. Furthermore, its literal absence in statutory law does not impede finding a collocation in the context of the judiciary, which is analysed with reference to the legal systems of both Italy and the United Kingdom. This does not infer that courts deliver a flawless and unfailing interpretation of plagiarism. On the contrary, a careful reading of the ruling confirms that the narrow realm of copyright law is shrinking. However, the unpredictability of the statutory and judicial approach towards plagiarism may also be welcomed as an attempt by the law to acknowledge the difficulty to appraise its complexity. Therefore, the present study openly adopts an interdisciplinary and comparative analysis that may help to describe its controversial legal breadth while also possibly unravelling any other principled range.

Full textAbstract:
La ricerca si propone, a partire dal caso specifico e paradigmatico di Massimo Bontempelli e in stretto riferimento al contesto italiano primonovecentesco, di delineare l’intensa relazione che intercorse tra gli intellettuali e gli organi corporativi del regime fascista. Il quale, per estendere il proprio raggio d’azione (anche) alla cultura, si servì di una serie di apparati istituzionali che veicolavano, spesso in modo sinergico, robuste forme di sussistenza.
La figura di Massimo Bontempelli si rivela in tal senso emblematica: le importanti funzioni assolte dapprima in seno al Sindacato Autori e Scrittori (di cui fu segretario dal 1927 al 1928), e in un secondo momento all’interno della Reale Accademia d’Italia lo rendono uno dei protagonisti della scena culturale del tempo. La ricostruzione dell’attività istituzionale dello scrittore funge perciò da viatico per penetrare nelle retrovie delle istituzioni medesime e, di conseguenza, indagare la rete politico-culturale sottesa a una delle espressioni più dirette di quei circuiti clientelari: i premi letterari.
Concepiti essenzialmente quali strumenti di potenziamento del sistema culturale, i concorsi letterari erano volti a proteggere e incoraggiare l’attività dei letterati italiani, tanto dal punto di vista economico quanto da quello giuridico. Ma erano anche un terreno di scontro tra uomini forti del mondo intellettuale, i quali si davano battaglia perché a vincere fossero i candidati che meglio rappresentassero la linea letteraria di cui erano portavoce. Così lo stesso Bontempelli, il quale, essendo stato – per un certo periodo di tempo – detentore del ruolo di dominus all’interno della macchina dei premi, cercò di proteggere e premiare la linea novecentista di cui era patrocinatore.
Accanto a pochi arbitri v’erano tanti outsiders: per contrasto, e per restituire la ricchezza del dibattito letterario di quegli anni, uno sguardo è stato dedicato anche a chi dall’ingranaggio di quella macchina era stato escluso o aveva voluto mantenere le distanze.
A latere di questa indagine (che trova collocazione in un’appendice corredata da una tabella sinottica dei premi letterari e da un dettagliato regesto), la ricerca pone l’accento sulla ricomposizione, più generale, del profilo bontempelliano, in specie in relazione alle sue tante altre attività istituzionali (e collaterali a esse). Infine, il campo d’analisi viene circoscritto al Bontempelli “propagandista” e antologista: funzioni, queste ultime, da una parte corroboranti le istanze delle politiche culturali del fascismo, dall’altra inscritte nel solco di un rapporto problematico e controverso col regime, che gli sarebbe costato caro, fors’anche in termini di fortuna critica.<br>By examining the specific, paradigmatic case of Massimo Bontempelli, with particular reference to early twentieth-century Italy, this study aims to outline the intense relationship that existed between intellectuals and the corporate bodies of the fascist regime. In order to expand its range of action also to culture, the regime made use of a series of institutional apparatuses, often working synergistically, which provided significant forms of sustenance.
Massimo Bontempelli was emblematic of this approach, given the important positions he held first within the Authors and Writers Union (secretary from 1927 to 1928), and later in the Royal Academy of Italy, which made him a central figure in the cultural scene of the time. The reconstruction of the writer's institutional activities offers a behind-the-scenes view of these institutions and, consequently, allows us to investigate the political and cultural network underlying one of the most direct expressions of those patronage circuits, i.e. literary awards.
Conceived as tools to strengthen the cultural system, literary competitions were intended to protect and encourage the activity of Italian writers, from both a financial and a legal point of view. However, they were also a battleground between the great minds of the world, who fought to ensure the awards went to the candidates that best represented the literary movement for which they were the mouthpiece. Thus Bontempelli, as holder - for a certain length of time - of the role of 'master' of the awards machine, endeavoured to protect and reward the Novecento cultural movement of which he was the patron.
While the arbiters were just a handful, the outsiders were many. To offer a contrasting view, and render the richness of the literary debate of those years, this study also explores those who were either excluded by the machine or chose to keep their distance.
On the fringes (within an appendix including a concise overview of the literary awards in question, in addition to a detailed list), the study also dedicates considerable space to a more general description of Bontempelli, focussing in particular on his many other institutional activities (and those relating to them). Finally, the field of analysis is circumscribed to Bontempelli's work as a propagandist and an anthologist, roles which while fuelling the demands of the cultural policies of fascism, was nevertheless characterised by a problematic and controversial relationship with the regime, which would cost him dearly in the future, perhaps also in terms of critical acclaim.

Prenant appui sur une historicisation critique des postulats méthodologiques et idéologiques au fondement des catégories d’humanisme civique et de républicanisme, la thèse entend renoncer à une lecture uniquement théorique de l’œuvre des humanistes florentins et restituer aux textes leur statut d’énoncés historiques. L’enjeu est de redessiner les lignes portantes d’une tradition civile et républicaine propre à la réalité florentine dont les penseurs des guerres d’Italie (Savonarole, Guichardin, Machiavel) seront les dépositaires critiques. Un travail d’interprétation de la correspondance familière de Coluccio Salutati (1331-1406) constitue le socle de la recherche et fait apparaître la dimension juridique de la pensée du chancelier, et ce à double titre : d’une part elle révèle l’omniprésence d’un lexique juridique qui fournit l’essentiel de l’arsenal interprétatif de l’analyse politique, et d’autre part, elle définit un « office d’exhortation » qui constitue la théorie politique de Salutati non pas simplement comme une rhétorique propagandiste mais aussi comme un discours réformateur. L’apport de Leonardo Bruni (1370-1444) est ainsi réévalué dans le sillage de l’humanisme politique de Salutati, et se distingue de ce dernier surtout par la valeur nouvelle accordée à l’histoire dans l’élaboration d’une langue et d’une science de la vie civile<br>Starting from a critical historicization of the methodological and ideological foundations of categories such as civic humanism and republicanism, this thesis investigates the works of the Florentine humanists not only from the point of view of political theory but also in relation to their historical significance. The aim is to redefine the structural lines of a republican tradition characteristic of Florentine history, a tradition which the thinkers of the Italian Wars (Savonarola, Guicciardini, Machiavelli) inherited and criticized. An extensive reading of the private letters by Coluccio Salutati (1331-1406) constitutes the central part of this work and reveals the juridical character of the Chancellor’s thought : on the one hand, the juridical vocabulary is omnipresent in the letters and provides the core of the hermeneutic tools necessary to political analysis ; on the other hand, it helps defining an « office of exhortation » which discloses Salutati’s urge for reform rather than his role of propagandist. New light is then shed on Leonardo Bruni’s contribution to political thought as Bruni is seen following the path of Salutati’s political humanism. Leonardo Bruni (1370-1444), in comparison with his master, stresses the superiority of history, but finds himself equally involved in the formulation of a language and a science of political life

Full textAbstract:
En 1999, un roman intitulé L’œil de Carafa et signé Luther Blissett connaît un vif succès. L'ouvrage présente la particularité de comporter une mention dite de “copyleft”, autorisant sa reproduction libre et gratuite. Derrière le pseudonyme se dissimule un collectif ouvert et international, porté par de nombreux artistes et activistes médiatiques, qui s'illustre également par diverses actions et happenings. Un an plus tard, les auteurs du roman créent un nouveau projet littéraire, sous le pseudonyme Wu Ming (“anonyme” en chinois). Le collectif prône la libre diffusion de l'écrit et à travers ses publications de théorie littéraire, il suscite la polémique dans le monde des lettres italiennes. En rupture avec la figure de l'écrivain qui s'est imposée depuis une trentaine d'années, Wu Ming prend appui sur le développement des nouvelles technologies, et plus particulièrement sur l'essor d’Internet, pour imposer une nouvelle conception de la création littéraire et de la diffusion des œuvres.L'analyse ici proposée interroge le caractère novateur du positionnement éthique et littéraire de Luther Blissett et de Wu Ming, en examinant leurs productions à l'aune de trois modèles de référence : l'avant-gardisme, le postmodernisme et la littérature engagée. En confrontant les engagements des deux collectifs à leur fonctionnement concret et, in fine, à leurs œuvres, elle vise à déterminer si les projets Luther Blissett et Wu Ming sont annonciateurs d'un changement de paradigme en littérature, rendu possible notamment par les nouveaux moyens de communication, ou si au contraire ces auteurs, en dépit de leurs singularités, s'inscrivent dans des schémas littéraires déjà existants<br>In 1999, the novel Q, authored by Luther Blisset, enjoyed considerable success. One of its special characteristics is that it bears a copyleft notice allowing free reproduction of the work. Indeed, an open, international group artists and media activists hides behind this peculiar nom de plume and has distinguished itself at various public actions and happenings. About a year later, the authors of the novel set out a new project under the pseudonym Wu Ming (a Chinese translation of “anonymous”) and advocated free circulation of written works. Their publications in literary theory have given rise to controversy in the Italian literary circles. Breaking with the figure of the author that has reigned supreme over the past three decades, Wu Ming is building on new technologies and more specifically on the Internet in order to enforce a new conception of both literary creation and the circulation of works.This dissertation investigates the novelty of the ethical and literary position of Luther Blissett and Wu Ming and looks into their productions in relation to avant-gardism, postmodernism and littérature engagée. In cross-examining the stakes and functioning of both projects with their actual creations, we aim to determine whether Luther Blissett and Wu Ming are heralding a change in literary paradigm or if, in spite of their singularities, these authors do not actually fit into existing patterns

Full textAbstract:
This project follows a thread of citations of the work of Brazilian author Clarice Lispector found in the philosophical feminist texts of four European thinkers: Hélène Cixous, Luisa Muraro, Adriana Cavarero, and Rosi Braidotti. I explore the intersection of material feminisms, Latin American decolonial feminism, and sexual difference theory differentially and multiply across contexts. I revisit histories of women and texts - French, Italian and Brazilian - that are multiply and differentially marginalized in the current Western feminist narrative framework - in order to create sources of alternative knowledge and create an opportunity for something new to emerge symbio-creatively from these points of contact. Chapter One covers the genesis of European feminist approaches to Lispector’s oeuvre in France, the impassioned reading by Hélène Cixous of Lispector’s work, and also provides vital counter-memory, decolonial feminist stories on Brazilian and Latin American feminisms which have been left out of the dominant Anglo-American/Western feminist historical narrative. Chapter Two will focus on the arrival in Italy of Lispector’s texts, Luisa Muraro and the Diotima women’s feminist philosophy group’s readings. Chapter Three then covers Adriana Cavarero, as well as her split from said Diotima group. Finally, Chapter Four brings us to Rosi Braidotti, from her early texts on Lispector to present theoretical horizons. My concluding discussion stems from the idea of connections as posited by Sonia Alvarez: “a translocal feminist politics of translation is crucial to the decolonial turn and a key strategy in building ‘connectant epistemologies’ in order to confront the equivocations or mistranslations that hinder feminist alliances, even among women who share the same language and culture.” I expand on my theory of points of contact and explore possibilities of symbiosis and non-deterministic evolution as a theoretical tool.

Full textAbstract:
Il presente lavoro si propane di portare un contributo critico
all'opera della Colombi, delineandone quegli aspetti salienti che
caratterizzano la sua partecipazione alla scena letteraria come donna e
come professionista.
Le sue scelte poetiche, basate sull'ideale di un'intima,
inscindibile unita donna-parola-lingua e sull'armoniosa corrispondenza
vita-arte, contribuiscono ad acuire il confl itto con il repressivo e
misogino ambiente ottocentesco. Si crea una continua tensione tra la
tendenza all'adeguamento impasto dalla priorita di difendere la propria
presenza e l'altrettanto forte spinta alla trasgressione come necessita
di salvaguardare la coerenza a se stessa. L'ambivalenza vissuta verso
il padre, depositario dell 'ordine sociale, si riflette, coerentemente con
le premesse poetiche, nelle polemiche condotte nei confronti dei padri
della letteratura. Se queste ultime tendono a rimanere contenute a
livello metatestuale, in genera le, il genuino ed autentico messaggio
letterario viene soprattutto espresso attraverso il gusto antifrastico
dell'ironia ea livello metaforico e simbolico.
La messa in luce della repressione e della morte dei valori
femminili, la creativita intellettuale e fisica, che costituiscono la
vera essenza dell'individuo e della stessa esistenza umana, va di pari
passo con la maturazione di un sofferto compromesso con le dure leggi
imposte dalla vita. Dalla crudelta di lavori alienanti alla brutale
caduta degli ideali e dell'amore, si raggiunge, con le opere maggiori,
un rinnovato equilibrio vita-arte che, nella sublimazione delle
esperienze di morte, eleva l'espressione artistica a piano ultimo di
salvezza e di realizzazione individuale. Nell'affermazione di un'arte firmata al femminile e posta al servizio della giustizia e della verita,
si consuma cosi la disobbedienza nei confronti di ogni forma arbitraria
di potere. Connotato al maschile, esso viene evidenziato nei suoi
effetti deleteri ed alienanti anche nella connivenza e mancanza di una
reale autenticita delle stesse donne, in particolare le madri.
Dall'analisi dell'opera della Colombi emerge l'immagine di una
scrittrice che si distingue non solo per la sua originalita e
complessita, ma anche per l'indubbia modernita sia di stile che di
problematiche<br>The aim of the present study is to offer a critical contribution
on the writings of the Marchesa Colombi by tracing and developing those
aspects of her work which best characterise her personality as a woman
and as a writer.
Her poetical choices, based on the ideal of an intimate,
indivisible unity of woman-word-language and on the harmonious
correlation between life and art, focus sharply on her conflict with the
repressive and misogynist ambience of nineteenth-century Italy. Her
works reveal a constant tension between the need to adapt in order to
defend her own presence (as a writer) and the urge to transgress as a
means to safeguard her inner, personal coherence. The author's
ambivalence towards the father, depositary of the social order, is
further reflected, in keeping with her poetical vision, in the polemical
debates held with the fathers of Italian literature. Whereas these
debates remain embedded within a metatextual discourse, the genuine and
authentic message of her works is generally expressed on the metaphorical
and symbolic levels and by an extensive antiphrastic use of irony.
The need to stress the repression and death of feminine values, the
intellectual and physical creativity which constitute the true essence
of the individual, goes hand in hand with the artist's achievement of
maturity as a painful compromise with the hard rules imposed by life.
From the cruelty of a alienating labour to the brutal collapse of her
ideals and of love, Colombi is able to achieve in her major works a new
form of balance between life and art which, by sublimating the experience
of death, elevates the artistic expression to the heights of personal
salvation and of self-realization. By affirming her art as a product of the feminine mind at the service of justice and truth, she plays out her
disobedience against all arbitrary forms of power.
This study of the works of the Marchesa Colombi reveals the image
of a writer who distinguishes herself not only for her originality and
complexity but also for the marked modernity both in her style and in her
choice of subject<br>Department of Classics & Modern European Languages<br>D.Litt. et Phil. (Italian)

Full textAbstract:
The study investigates the approach to collaboration in Humanities, within the Italian context, to test the possibility of collaborative digital library for scholars. The research hypothesis is that collaboration can foster innovation and scienti c development: therefore, within Humanities, digital libraries can be the collaborative laboratory for research. Thus, understanding perception of scholars towards collaboration, especially online, and
comprehending if wiki systems could be the framework of collaboration were the objectives of the study. A qualitative approach has been adopted, using case study as research method: in-depth, semi-structured interviews to Digital Humanities scholars provide data integrated with interviews with two key informants
(one of which is prof. Umberto Eco).
The results of the study show that Humanities, within Italian context, do appreciate collaboration and the concept of a collaboratory digital library, though several issues need to be solved. In fact, Humanities are still tied with individual work and collaboration is not easy to pursue, for cultural, technical and political reasons. Great e ort needs to be done at many different levels to eliminate obstacles and facilitate online collaboration for scholars. The study provides a draft model for a collaborative digital library arisen from gathered data.
