Abstract:

This essay sheds light on habits, behaviours, and social practices by focusing on Southern Italian youth and their songs; more specifically, it deals with Calabria in the years between 1850 and the 1900s. Such samples – relics to us – allow us to infer how men and women of that generation communicated within the archaic and highly hierarchical society in which they lived. Sometimes through singing the youth of Southern Italy found a way to bypass prohibitions and to say what could not be normally said in everyday life. Since it is clearly impossible to hear the performers’ original voices, thi

Abstract:

Wild edible plants are an essential component of people’s diets in the Mediterranean basin. In Italy, ethnobotanical surveys have received increasing attention in the past two centuries, with some of these studies focusing on wild edible plants. In this regard, the literature in Italy lacks the coverage of some major issues focusing on plants used as herbs and spices. I searched national journals for articles on the use of wild food plants in Italy, published from 1963 to 2020. Aims of the present review were to document plant lore regarding wild herbs and spices in Italy, identify the wild pl

Abstract:

Abstract:

Circe is associated first of all with the episode narrated in the 10th book of the Odyssey, in which she turns Odysseus’s crewmen into pigs using her herbal pharmaka. Odysseus survives due to divine help, his inborn cleverness, and the miraculous herb moly. The fairy-tale theme of the spells of Circe, clearly showing its folk provenance, got entrenched in ancient literature: featured most often in poems of playful content, Circe symbolized the power to subjugate male souls and bodies. From the Hellenistic era to the Byzantine times, however, Circe is mentioned in scholarly works – in the conte

Abstract: Between 1968 and 1980, Italy witnessed a dynamic transformation in children’s literature marked by innovative visual, aesthetic, and educational paradigms, involving a profound assimilation of social, cultural, and political dimensions into children’s literature. Children’s books became hubs of interdisciplinary experimentation in which young readers were to be critical cultural participants. These changes took the forms of playful storytelling, intertextuality, nonlinear narratives, and groundbreaking visual, graphic, and material elements. Pioneering technologies further enriched t

Abstract:

The research aims to characterize the features of building the image of Italy in S. P. Shevyrev’s travel essays in the aspect of “frontier perception”. The scientific novelty of the paper is determined by the insufficient study of the topic of Italy in Shevyrev’s works and by the attention to the “frontier aspect” of Italy’s image in Shevyrev’s artistic consciousness. The paper traces the influence of the concepts of J. G. Herder (on the interconnectedness of cultures of different peoples in the synchronic and diachronic contexts of history) and J. J.

Abstract:

The article is the first attempt at a holistic view of Stanisław Vincenz’s relationship with Italian culture. Since his youth, Vincenz would visit the Italian Peninsula travelling to Venice and, already as an emigrant after World War II, made a few visits to Naples and Tuscany. These journeys resulted in numerous comments included in his essays on Dante Alighieri, as separate overview Z perspektywy podróży (From a traveller’s perspective) and List z Neapolu.

Abstract:

An important reintroduction to this literature, this compilation of Thomas Crane's original translations of Italian folk stories includes new critical analysis. For 19th-century folklorist Thomas Crane, the value of collecting, translating, and reproducing folktales lay in their "internationalism"—their capacity to reveal how the customs of a particular group, no matter how unique, are linked to many others. In his classic collection, edited and updated by contemporary folklorist Jack Zipes, Crane traces the roots of Italian folktales to their origins, often in the Orient, then shows how they

Abstract:

This chapter traces the presence of ecological issues in the Italian Gothic, with particular attention to the phenomenon of folk horror. The Gothic, as a literature of the re-emersion of the repressed, can provide a tool to discuss and redefine the boundaries between human and non-human in an anthropocentric cultural system. The analysis takes into account examples of Eco-Gothic through all Italian modern literature, as well as Italian folk horror cinema. As a sub-genre profoundly interested in the representation of the landscape and the portrayal of isolated communities, folk horror explores

These songs spread from the cabaret stages (kleynkunstbine) of Łódź and Warsaw to all of Poland and to the entire Jewish world. Even today they are alive on the stage and in Jewish homes; they are an indispensable part of the repertoire of Jewish singers. They are also arousing increasing interest among non-Jewish audiences in Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and the United States. Since the destruction of Europe

In this re- spect, it is important not to lose sight of the evolving nature of European construction and the increasingly strong foundations of integration in Italian constitutional set- tlement.

Abstract About the life of John Gower, Chaucer’s friend, little can be said with certainty. His family evidently had Yorkshire origins, but certain features of his language suggest a connection with Kent, where he purchased lands in 1378. In that year Chaucer, when setting out for Italy, gave power of attorney to Gower and a lawyer called Richard Forester. In his French poem, the Mirour de l’omme (21772—4), Gower says that he is not a ‘clerk’ but that he wears ‘la raye mance’, the distinctive dress of serjeants at law and certain court officials; and other documents and allusions confirm the s

These rocks, emplaced within the basin and along its margins, are characterized by strongly SiO2-undersaturated and CaO-rich to strongly SiO2-oversaturated and peraluminous compositions, with sodic to ultrapotassic alkaline and tholeiitic to calc-alkaline and high-K calc-alkaline affinities.
