Full textEm 1960, Pier Paolo Pasolini publicou pela editora Einaudi seu livro de ensaios poéticos, intitulado Passione e Ideologia. Essa obra reflete a relação afetiva e intelectual do autor com a poesia dialetal italiana. Partindo do recolhimento dos cantos dialetais feitos por folcloristas do Oitocento, tais como Pitrè, Tommaseo e Nigra, Pasolini elucubrou a poesia dialetal como a poesia popular italiana por excelência. Nesse sentido, pretende-se demonstrar como Pasolini, mediado pela leitura dos trabalhos dos críticos Benedetto Croce e Gianfranco Contini, promoveu um mapeamento das principais referências que justificariam as possíveis afinidades da poesia em dialeto com a poesia dita popular. Autores como Dante, Vico, Rousseau, Herder e Giovanni Pascoli foram mobilizados por ele dentre aqueles que pensavam a poesia como sendo a primeira linguagem entre os homens, sendo ela proveniente do vulgo e, sobretudo, como fruto de uma atividade sentida e imaginada.
In 1960, Pier Paolo Pasolini published by Einaudi publishing his book of poetic essays entitled Passione e Ideologia. That work reflects the emotional and intellectual relationship of the author with the Italian dialectal poetry. Starting from the gathering of dialectal songs done by folklorists of the Italian Oitocento such as Pitrè, Tommaseo and Nigra, Pasolini thought over the dialectal poetry as a popular Italian poetry par excellence. In this sense, we intend to demonstrate how Pasolini, refereed by reading the works of the critics Benedetto Croce and Gianfranco Contini, promoted a mapping of the main references that justify the possible affinities of poetry in dialect with a alleged folk poetry. Authors such as Dante, Vico, Rousseau, Herder and Giovanni Pascoli were mobilized by him among those who thought poetry as the first language of men, coming from the vulgar, and above all, as the result of a felt and imagined activity.

Full textThis research arose out of the will of spreading the presence of Umberto Sabas poetry in Brazil. We decided, thus, to select and translate some of his poems, using as a choice criterion the study of the poetical work of the italian poet out of the most frequent approach: the relation between his poetic persona and the city of Trieste. We have chosen this framing because we believe it enables a more embracing view of the work of the writer, since, from that relation, we can study many other important questions that may guide us to the comprehension of his poetry, specially those questions engendered in what we name here poetic of the life. With the expression poetic of the life, we seek to make a trend in Sabas poetry more evident: the openness to what he calls calda vita (warm life), the life realized in all its variety, including those moments of suffer and pain. In such path, we study the relation subject/city having as a north the interrelationship between the inner subject and the world matter, and from then, we establish a comparison among some features of Sabas and Baudelaires poetry, but also Pascolis, Leopardis and the Crepusculares. We also talk about the theme of the visual sense, of the desire, drives and memory, which are intertwined in the relation self/city. We talk, moreover, about the main formal aspects that characterize the poetry of the Italian, as, among others, the narrativity and the prosaicism, which are connected to what the critics call Sabas realism (the representation of scenes, facts and daily characters.)

Full textThis dissertation is a pilot study of Italian poetry reading through the use of experimental Phonetics. The main purpose of this study is to provide a first methodological proposal for investigation, identifying the characterizing elements of the poetic voice. The first part offers a theoretical introduction to the music of poetry and presents a literature review of experimental studies on this topic. The second part introduces the project and the archive of VIP-Voice of Italian Poets, which is dedicated to the study of the recordings of Italian poets. Finally, the third part develops a specific system to study the readings of Italian authors from the 1960s to the present. It proposes a periodization in three parts to outline a first “History of Italian poetry reading”, using a qualitative and a quantitative/comparative approach. In addition, common and distinct traits among many readings of the same poem are investigated, as well as the perception of poetry, tested on several levels. This study sheds light on the many, yet relatively unexplored, layers and rich historical heritage of Italian poetry reading of the last decades.

Resumo: O autor Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) é, sem dúvidas, um dos mais importantes escritores da passagem do século XIX para o século XX. Já tendo sido reconhecido pela crítica por suas inovações teatrais e suas boas construções em prosa, resolvemos colocar a poesia como centro de nossa investigação. Desmentindo o que certa crítica apressada propagou nos últimos tempos, demonstramos que a poesia de Pirandello não se limitou ao início de seu trabalho literário, mas acabou se fazendo presente em praticamente toda a carreira do escritor. Assim, empenhamo-nos em demonstrar que já nas poesias juvenis do autor um mesmo obsessivo tema lhe aparecia como constituinte principal de sua literatura, o "male di vivere", a que denominaremos mal de viver. Essa transição de gêneros não é, de modo algum, destituída de senso estético próprio do autor siciliano, ao contrário, ela denuncia a visão de mundo que suas obras contemplam. Para tanto, dissecamos o mal triste de viver que escapa dos textos de Pirandello, de tal forma a descolá-lo do momento histórico a que está preso e materializá-lo como conceito teórico, filosófico e antifilosófico dentro da poesia do autor siciliano, mas também demonstrando várias ramificações na obra de Pirandello como um todo. Seguimos, para isso, as lições de De Castris, Storia di Pirandello (1982), Alfredo Bosi, O ser e o tempo da poesia (2000), Giacomo Leopardi, Zibaldone di pensieri (1921), Jean-Paul Sartre O existencialismo é um humanismo (1970) e empenhamo-nos em tr...

Abstract: The author Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) is undoubtedly one of the most important writers of the late nineteenth century to the twentieth century. Having already been recognized by critics for his theatrical innovations and their good buildings in prose, we decided to put poetry at the center of our research. Denying what certain hurried criticism spread in recent times, we will demonstrate that the poetry of Pirandello was not limited to the beginning of his literary work, but ended up doing this in virtually all the writer's career. Thus, we strive to show that already in youth poetry of the author the same obsessive theme appeared to him as the main constituent of your own literature, the "male di vivere" that will call evil of live (mal de viver). This transition of genres is not, in any way, devoid of own aesthetic sense of the Sicilian author, instead, it denounces the subject view of the world that his works include. Therefore, we dissect the evil of life that is contained in Pirandello's work to remove it from the historical moment that is trapped and materialize it as theoretical, philosophical and unphilosophical concepts within the Sicilian author poetry, but also demonstrating several branches in the work of Pirandello as a whole. We continue to do so, the lessons of De Castris, Storia di Pirandello (1982), Alfredo Bosi, O ser e o tempo da poesia (2000), Giacomo Leopardi, Zibaldone di pensieri (1921), Jean-Paul Sartre, O existencialismo é um humanismo (1970), and w...

Full textAquesta tesi doctoral estudia la recreació de la llengua parlada en la poesia de Robert Frost i la traducció de la poesia de Frost duta a terme per Agustí Bartra i Miquel Desclot al català, i per Giovanni Giudici a l’italià. L’estudi descriu el significat del terme mimesi de l’oralitat i les seves principals característiques. Posa l’accent en la complexitat del fenomen, que es pot explicar millor si s’adopta un enfocament teòric i metodològic més eclèctic, que se centra tant en els aspectes lingüístics de la mimesi de l’oralitat com en els possibles efectes en els lectors. El llenguatge poètic de Frost és ben conegut per la seva qualitat parlada. En aquesta recerca defineixo en primer lloc els trets principals de la llengua del poeta i estudio de quina forma la seva evocació de l'oralitat ha estat interpretada pels poetes i traductors Bartra, Desclot i Giudici i de quina manera s'ha entrellaçat amb l’estil poètic propi dels traductors. Les traduccions comparteixen trets comuns que es remunten als patrons estilístics de la poesia original de Frost. No obstant això, també presenten solucions estilístiques divergents que poden ser atribuïdes a cada traductor. Mitjançant la contextualització d’aquestes opcions personals de traducció és possible aconseguir una millor comprensió de les causes que les han motivades. Això porta la investigació a examinar qüestions relacionades amb la ideologia dels traductors i el seu compromís cultural.

Full textThis dissertation intends to read the work Il Canzoniere, by Umberto Saba, based on the tensed descendent line which begins with the collection Trieste e una donna, and which point of lower temperature is Cose leggere e vaganti. We sought to focus our reading in the tensions and the ambivalence that go across the poetic production of the Triestian in such period. So, this work is structured in three chapters: on the first one, we centered the attention in Trieste e una donna and tried to understand how the confluent relation between the lyric-self and the sensory is established, as we seek to seize the elementary things and its consequent acceptance of life in all its variety; on the second one, we approached La serena disperazione and Poesie scritte durante la guerra, keeping the focus on the dynamics between permanence and rupture, being based on the motives to attempt the recall of the resources used in previous collections; on the third one, we approached Cose leggere e vaganti, in order to attempt to understand the apparent lightness which goes along the collection, and to show how, in a last stage, it is underlain the opposition between weight and lightness. Within this work, we seek to emphasize that the descendent tension line would be, in a last level, associated to the scape of pain and suffering.

Resumo: Neste estudo, propomos uma compreensão renovada da obra de Dante Alighieri a partir da hipótese de que seu primeiro livro, a Vita Nova, oferece uma representação da irrupção da lírica moderna. Inicialmente, buscamos determinar o sentido desta irrupção (e, pois, dessa representação) com base na teoria da origem (Ursprung) de Walter Benjamin. Depois, insistimos na pertinência de uma reconstrução do conceito de modernidade, desde suas primeiras formulações ainda no Medievo, ao termos em vista a obra de Dante, e mais especificamente a Vita Nova. Finalmente, analisamos a Vita Nova a partir de quatro figuras fundamentais que esta legou ¿ não apenas como eixos temáticos, mas como elementos de formalização ¿ à lírica posterior: a Memória, o Amor, o Segredo e a Morte

After, we insist on the pertinence of a reconstruction of the concept of modernity, since its first formulations still in the Middle Ages, as we have Dante¿s work in view, and more specifically the Vita Nova. Finally, we analyze the Vita Nova from four fundamental figures it bequeaths ¿ not just as thematic axes, but as elements of formalization ¿ to the forthcoming lyric: Memory, Love, Secret, Death

Full textA detailed analysis of poetry for children in Italy in a multidisciplinary direction (historical, thematic, rhetorical, pedagogical, sociological) had never been carried out, nor started until today. The present work is therefore the first that takes into consideration a sufficiently wide chronological range - from 1945 to the present - dealing with issues that were found scattered in the various chapters of literatures for children or in articles in specialized magazines. Despite the great interest that the publishing industry has shown in the past (at least since the Sixties onwards) and still demonstrates today towards the public of children, and despite the richness and variety of necklaces dedicated to the creation of poetry and poetry, the lack of a general study seemed to us a serious gap. The absence of a systematic critique can perhaps be explained by the little prestige that still today, despite everything, covers the writing intended for children, as if writing for children were only a prelude to “true” writing, and poetry addressed to children a simple (and simplified) premise of “true” poetry.We therefore think, first of all, of having demonstrated the importance of poetry for childhood in itself and its great significance in the process of education and aesthetic education. In our opinion, the criticism cannot in fact be subjected to didactic or moral principles, but must take into account this artistic approach : the poetry book for children must therefore satisfy its needs (curiosity, play, the need to express oneself ) and at the same time constitute a real bridge to art, literature and music. The contribution of disciplines such as sociology, in particular the reflections on the so-called “liquid” society and culture theorized by Zygmunt Bauman have enriched the proposed elaborations.Another innovation is that of having carried out a gender study in the field of childhood poetry. Although not definitive, this survey has allowed us to broaden the horizon of criticism.In the context of the authors we think we have had the merit of remembering authors who are not very present (or completely absent) in the anthologies of poetry for children, such as Tommaso Landolfi, Giulia Niccolai, Rossana Ombres and Giovanni Arpino and for having claimed and reserved one particular space to Giuseppe Pontremoli and Pierluigi Cappello. In the context of anthologies, we also rightly believe that we have included the analysis (and evaluation) of children’s anthologies in the study of poetic anthology (in particular those by Roberto Antonelli in « Critica del testo » and Niccolò Scaffai), a completely new operation. The proposed Anthology therefore follows the highlighted criteria and differs considerably from those of the past as well as those currently on the market

Full textMichelangelo Buonarroti (Florence, 1475 Rome, 1564) was the author of a not so vast poetic work, written in the course of almost all his life, alongside with his other artistic activities. Better known, in the past, mainly for its expressive and documental qualities, Michelangelos poetry has been subjected, in recent times, to a wide critical review, whose purpose is to reevaluate it in its poetical and formal aspects. In this context, the problem of his late poetry emerges as a fundamental one, as it drastically distinguishes itself from all his previous works. In fact, a great part of his first poetry is devoted to love themes, and its main style feature is the taste for formal difficulty. In his late years, however, Michelangelo would commit his verses almost exclusively to religious themes, alongside with a radical style simplification. Recent studies tried to understand this phenomenon, relating it mainly to the 16th century religious crisis, which implied, to a certain extent, the crisis of artistic and poetic forms, as well as Renascences ethical values. After contacting new religious ideas, many of reformist content (whose possible sources would be Vittoria Colonna and the spirituali circle of Juan de Valdés), Michelangelo had proposed a whole new set of poetic values, taking new paths with his compositions. In this sense, Michelangelos late poetry acquires a deeper meaning if looked against his work as a whole presenting itself, at one time, as a review of poetic tradition and of his own early writings, thus reflecting the crisis of humanist values in the first half of the 16th century.

Full textMy dissertation examines the ethical engagement of political invective poetry in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Italy. Modern criticism tends to treat medieval invective as a playfully subversive but marginal poetic game with minimal ethical weight. Instead, I aim to restore these poetic productions to their original context: the history, law, and custom of Tuscan cities. This contexts allows me to explore how humor and fury, in the denunciation of political enemies, interact to establish not a game but an ethics of invective. I treat ethics as both theoretical and practical, referring to Aristotle, Cicero, and Brunetto Latini, and define ethics as the pursuit of the common good in a defined community. Chapter I introduces the corpus, its historical and cultural background, its critical reception, and my approach. Chapter II discusses medieval invective in Tuscany and surveys the cultural practice of invective writing. Chapter III approaches invectives written by Rustico Filippi during the Guelph and Ghibelline wars. Chapter IV explores invectives by Cecco Angiolieri set in Siena, which polemicize with the Sienese government and citizenry. Chapter V examines invectives in Dante's Commedia (Inf. 19, Purg. 6, and Par. 27), focusing on his unexpected humor and his critique of the papacy, the empire, and Italian city governments. My conclusion examines the ethical function of slanderous wit in wartime invective. These poems balance verbal aggression with humor, claiming a role for laughter in creating dialogue within conflict. Far from a stylistic or ludic exercise, each invective shows the poet's activism and ethical engagement. This dissertation includes previously published material.

Candiloro, Mauro. "La poésie de Paolo Volponi comme forme complexe de relation." Thesis, Lyon, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LYSES022/document.
Full textDespite a few exceptions, Volponi’s poetry remains in the background as opposed to his narrative production, both in the Italian literary cannon and in the way it was received by critics. This seems to be a contradictory statement because the author considered himself as a poet primarily. This contradiction is inextricably linked to a very rich biography based on a plethora of life experiences and which makes Volponi a man and a writer at a crossroads between participation and dissidence, between order and disorder. I raise thus the question of the status assigned to poetry by Volponi. It was first necessary to redefine the notions of order and disorder to answer it: the scientific achievements of the beginning of the 20th century demonstrated that these two concepts are not antithetic anymore but that they are two necessary sides of any complex natural organization, including the human organization. I chose this complex interaction between order and disorder as a key to reading Volponi’s poetic work. First this complexity is to be found in Volponi’s biography, that shapes the fundamental frameworks of his poetry, frameworks which are then used as topics in each of his poetry books. In these works, the poet always clearly shows his will to elaborate progressively towards the one and only Book. Indeed, the poetic tools resorted to by the poet contribute to this elaboration because they vary according to the organization which they are meant to express. Finally, I tackled the problem of Volponi’s own reflection about poetry which leads him to conclude that poetry is not a literary genre, but a creative strength meant to connect man and matter but also man and man

Full textBorn in Castello, near Florence, Mario Luzi is today regarded as one of the highest poetical voice in Europe. The corpus of texts adopted to studying is Mario Luzi, The poetical works, edited by Stefano Verdino, Milano, Mondadori, «I Meridiani», 1998, which is divided into three chronological parts: Il giusto della vita, Nell’opera del mondo and Frasi nella luce nascente. From this textual organization, approved by the author, our project of research analyses Mario Luzi’s poetical works from his first book of verse, La barca (1935), which marks his hermetic season to Viaggio terrestre e celeste di Simone Martini (1994), which represents his full artistic maturity. The high frequency of words «vita» and «filo» in his first books of verse reveals that the theme of life is the principal thread of Luzi’s poetical works, but he interweaves metaphorically others poetic threads such as the thread of smile, the thread of light and the thread of voyage (as metaphor of life). Generally critics examine only one book of verse or no more of a homogeneous collection of poems. On the contrary, we think that a transversal reading and an intertextual exploration of the whole Luzi’poetical works give a new point of view on his artistic process of composition and at the same time they show original interpretations. By his poetry Mario Luzi pursues the ultimate aims of existence, the continuous transformations of reality, the modern human contradictions, and comes certitudes into question to achieve a more deep truth

Full textThe paper aims to give a critical and annotated edition of vernacular poems by Baldassar Castiglione and Cesare Gonzaga. It reconstructs in detail the history of the circulation and tradition of the poems, and it examinates the historical and geographical context in which the texts were copied and spread. Attribution problems are discussed, an apocryphal poem is expunged from Castiglione’s corpus, unpublished texts are published. The whole corpus is composed of 32 texts, including the little collection of six lyric poems dedicated to Elisabetta Gonzaga. The negative apparatus is divided into two parts, where text variants and morphological differences between the witnesses are shown. Lyric poems are followed by the eclogue ‘Tirsi’. A commentary is provided, where models and parallel places are illustrated, aiming to highlight how the two poets pursued a faithful imitation of Petrarch poetry, following Pietro Bembo’s teachings, and showing their debts with the XVth Century court poetry.

Full textItalian poet Vittorio Sereni (1913-1983) is still unpublished and relatively unknown in Brazil. In order to introduce the author to the Brazilian public, this research studies his debut book, Frontiera, 1941. Through a brief overview of the history of the Italian modern poets, the present study investigates the path followed by Vittorio Sereni during his youth, at the beginning of his literary career. Such path, as will be shown later, was of the utmost importance for the poets humanitarian, cultural and intellectual development, and includes the philosophy lectures given by Antonio Banfi at the University of Milan, the time spent as a writer at the magazine \"Corrente di vita giovanile\" and the admiration of and friendship with fellow poets Eugenio Montale, Giuseppe Ungaretti and Umberto Saba. Moreover, this research addresses the controversial debate on whether Sereni integrated or not the Italian hermetic movement in the 1930s and 40s. Lastly, through the study of four poems from the selected book, \"Inverno\", \"Inverno a Luino\". \"Strada di Zenna\" e \"Ecco le voci cadono\", recurrent central themes in Frontiera will be presented and analyzed.

Full textThe research aims to identify the critical steps of the Renaissance’s lyric poetry which made Petrarch a consolidated model of civil and political rhetoricin the Italian literary tradition. The purpose of the analysis is the poetry of the sixteenth century, which was characterized by a homogeneous formal model theory. By analysing the collections of the time, characterized mainly by the predominance of love lyricism, I aim to define the features of a less known and less described Petrarchism, that is political Petrarchism

Full textThe work aims to provide a critical and commented edition of a short anonymous Milanese collection of poems (fourty-nine compositions). The thesis is structured in three parts: the first retraces the tradition of the text, handed down entirely from a single manuscript currently in a private collection, and partially from Florence, Biblioteca del Conservatorio, ms. Basevi 2441. In this part it is also proposed that this work was composed in the last decade of the fifteenth century, the scribe was Giovanni Battista Lorenzi and an artist known as “Maestro B. F.” was the miniaturist. They were active in Milan between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and worked in pair in producting luxury manuscripts. The second section focuses on the “canzoniere” and investigates the structure, themes, style, and metric. I try to contextualize this collection in the northern courtly poetry of the second half of the fifteenth century. The third part offers the critical edition, preceded by a linguistic note. Each poem has an introduction and a commentary, that discussing models, sources and loci paralleli, shows the author's close relationship with contemporary courtly poets.
