Thus, the titular "plaything" is understood as both an object and a person, and play, in the early modern world, is treated not merely as a pastime, a leisurely pursuit, but as a pivotal part of daily life, a strategic psychosocial endeavor.

Download or read book Lu Pavone written by Giuseppe Jovine and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1993 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questa raccolta di poesie e di racconti popolari anonimi in dialetto molisano tracciano il percorso di due storie che, pur diversificate, si compenetrano e si completano a vicenda: la storia individuale dell' autore e la storia collettiva della società di un paese del Sud. Le immagini di un mondo apparentemente immobile e arcaico si alternano alle vicende di una realtà storica complessa e tormentata, nel cui magma vecchio e nuovo si scontrano e si fondono. This collection of poems and anonymous folktales in the Molisan dialect traces the unfolding of two stories which, although distinct, interweave and complete each other: the author's individual story and the story of a town in the South of Italy. The images of an apparently immobile and archaic world alternate with the events of a complex and tormented historical reality, in whose magma the new and the old clash and fuse.

Book excerpt: This is the black and white edition, for a color edition please see : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VCYDH9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Bilingual edition: original letters in English translated into Italian by Stefania Iannella***You will read the moving words of common people who, calling themselves "laymen" and admitting that they do not know how to distinguish "even just a note from another", perceive the true essence of classical music. In fact, most of these writings describe the highest musical experience: the mystical elevation. These American fans thank Arturo Toscanini for the "pure joy" resulting from the concerts he directed. They feel they are in celestial realms, thus forgetting their earthly sufferings.***In addition to the twenty-one letters from the admirers, an unpublished letter from Dora Mary Penny Powell (Dorabella) of singular musicological importance is also disclosed, as it reveals some key elements to solve an enigma. The famous yet unsolved mystery concerning the melody hidden in Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations (1899) could thus finally be revealed. ***La musica classica è una prerogativa di un'élite di soli intenditori? Questi ammiratori, autodefinendosi al contrario "profani" in ambito musicale e ammettendo di non saper distinguere "neanche una nota dall'altra", intuiscono la vera essenza della musica classica. In buona parte di questi scritti è, infatti, descritta l'esperienza musicale per eccellenza: l'elevazione mistica. Leggerete le parole commosse di persone che, grazie alla "gioia pura" derivante dall'ascolto dei concerti diretti da Toscanini, sentono di ritrovarsi in regni celestiali, dimenticando così le proprie sofferenze terrene. Tanto entusiasmo, tanta dedizione al mondo Sublime della musica classica sono espressi attraverso le più sincere impressioni raccontate da persone disparate, che proclamano però all'unisono l'effetto sovrannaturale della musica diretta da Arturo Toscanini. Libro contenente rivelazioni sulle "Enigma Variations " di Elgar.Questa è l'edizione in bianco e nero, per chi preferisce vedere e conservare le riproduzioni delle lettere nei loro colori originali, l'edizione a colori è acquistabile a questo link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VCYDH9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860

Download or read book The Work of Art written by Gérard Genette and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What art is--its very nature--is the subject of this book by one of the most distinguished continental theorists writing today. Informed by the aesthetics of Nelson Goodman and referring to a wide range of cultures, contexts, and media, The Work of Art seeks to discover, explain, and define how art exists and how it works. To this end, Gérard Genette explores the distinction between a work of art's immanence--its physical presence--and transcendence--the experience it induces. That experience may go far beyond the object itself.Genette situates art within the broad realm of human practices, extending from the fine arts of music, painting, sculpture, and literature to humbler but no less fertile fields such as haute couture and the culinary arts. His discussion touches on a rich array of examples and is bolstered by an extensive knowledge of the technology involved in producing and disseminating a work of art, regardless of whether that dissemination is by performance, reproduction, printing, or recording. Moving beyond examples, Genette proposes schemata for thinking about the different manifestations of a work of art. He also addresses the question of the artwork's duration and mutability.

Download or read book Enrico Corte Spectrospective Ediz italiana e inglese written by Enrico Corte and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enrico Corte (1963) vive e lavora a New York e Roma. Adotta fin dal suo esordio un ruolo antinomico rispetto alle modalità abituali del fare arte, scegliendo di mostrare &"ciò che non si vuol vedere&", il lato oscuro della creatività che spesso confina col suo opposto, ossia con l&'autodistruzione. Corte si colloca lontano sia dal gusto tipicamente italiano per la &"leggerezza&" sia dalla ricerca dello scandalo a tutti i costi, trovando invece inedite forme di bellezza plastica, fatali fascinazioni di fronte all&'Ignoto. Capovolgendo le regole stabilite del mercato dell&'arte, che vorrebbero l&'artista specializzato in un singolo &"segno&" riconoscibile nel tempo, Corte è intervenuto direttamente nel sociale tramite una moltiplicazione di stili, tecniche e soluzioni estetiche sufficienti per attrarre l&'attenzione del suo pubblico e condurlo nei territori del turbamento e vertigine. I temi del pieno e del vuoto, e dell&'equilibrio delle forme - tipici dell&'arte scultorea classica - subiscono nuove metamorfosi e divengono metafore tragicomiche di un malessere sociale. In questa monografia su Corte, un saggio critico di Gianluca Marziani analizza una selezione di opere secondo un&'ottica &"spettrospettiva&" che annulla i concetti tradizionali di Evoluzione e Maturità. Attraverso questa interpretazione, il lavoro di Corte si colloca in una dimensione neurale, imitando lo sviluppo labirintico che regola il macrocosmo dei più oscuri ed inquietanti processi cerebrali.

Download or read book Confessions of an Illuminati Volume I written by Leo Lyon Zagami and published by CCC Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-11 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In English for the first time, a guide to the true secret structure of the Illuminati and their invisible network made of various power structures, author Leo Lyon Zagami uses their internal documents and reveals confidential and top-secret events. His book contends that the presence of numerous Illuminati brotherhoods and secret societies—just as those inside the most prestigious U.S. universities such as Yale or Harvard—have always been guides to the occult. From the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO)'s infiltration of Freemasonry to the real Priory of Sion, this book exposes not only the hidden structure of the New World Order and the occult practices but also their connections to the intelligence community and the infamous Ur-Lodges.
