Download or read book Kiev e Leopoli written by Maria Grazia Bartolini and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kiev has always revealed a surprising capacity for assimilation, giving rise over time to multi-ethnic, multi-faith and multi-cultural contexts of various types. Thinking of the "Kiev text" leads inevitably to consideration of the other emblematic text of the Ukrainian identity, the no less composite reality of Lviv. This publication contains the contributions presented at a Conference (Milan, February 2007) addressed to the "cultural text" of Kiev and Lviv. The authors are specialists with different cultural profiles, and the book is of a deliberately inter-disciplinary character. In view of the richness and variety of the information it is offered, within the Italian and international context, as a useful source even for the non-specialist public, and is one of a very small number of books dedicated to Ukraine available in Italian. Clearly, the arguments addressed represent only a tiny part of the vast spectrum of issues and questions inherent to the specificity and plurality of Kiev and Lviv. The hope is that the seed sewn here will grow into further fruitful interest.
Download or read book Ukraine and Europe written by Giovanna Brogi Bercoff and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ukraine and Europe challenges the popular perception of Ukraine as a country torn between Europe and the east. Twenty-two scholars from Europe, North America, and Australia explore the complexities of Ukraine’s relationship with Europe and its role the continent’s historical and cultural development. Encompassing literary studies, history, linguistics, and art history, the essays in this volume illuminate the interethnic, interlingual, intercultural, and international relationships that Ukraine has participated in. The volume is divided chronologically into three parts: the early modern era, the 19th and 20th century, and the Soviet/post-Soviet period. Ukraine in Europe offers new and innovative interpretations of historical and cultural moments while establishing a historical perspective for the pro-European sentiments that have arisen in Ukraine following the Euromaidan protests.

Download or read book Melancholic Identities Toska and Reflective Nostalgia written by Sara Salmon and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the feeling that we often refer to as 'nostalgia' from the perspective of writers and artists located on the (imperial, Soviet, and Post-Soviet) periphery of Russian culture who regard the center of the culture from which they have been excluded with varying degrees of longing and ambivalence. The literary and artistic texts analyzed here have been shaped by these author's ruminations on social and psychological marginalization, a process that S. Boym has called 'reflective nostalgia' and that the authors of this volume also refer to as 'toska'
Download or read book The Reception of East Slavic Literatures in the West and the East written by Shin’ichi Murata and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, edited by scholars from diverse backgrounds, stems from the original convergence of various geo-cultural viewpoints on the reception of East Slavic cultures and literatures (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarussian, Soviet): European viewpoints are juxtaposed with those of the Japanese, Chinese, Israeli areas. The volume offers a broad look at the history of the perception of these literatures in Europe, Italy, and East Asia (with special attention to their reception in Japan and China). Contacts, influences, meditations, and difficulties in the perception of literary and cultural phenomena are the subject of original comparative analyses. The vitality with which Slavic-Eastern literatures have found echoes in very distant environments, but also the evolution of the self-perception of Ukrainian literature over time, are among the topics.
Download or read book Essays on the Spread of Humanistic and Renaissance Literary Civilization in the Slavic World 15th 17th Century written by Giovanna Siedina and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays gathered in this volume are devoted to different aspects of the reception of Humanism and the Renaissance in Slavic countries. They mark the beginning of a dialogue among scholars of different Slavic languages and literatures, in search of the ways in which the entire Slavic world – albeit to varying degrees – has participated from the very beginning in European cultural transformations, and not simply by sharing some characteristics of the new currents, but by building a new identity in harmony with the changes of the time. By overcoming the dominant paradigm, which sees all cultural manifestations as part of a separate ‘national’ linguistic, literary and artistic canon, this volume is intended to be the first step in outlining some ideas and suggestions in view of the creation, in the future, of an atlas that maps the relevance of Humanism and the Renaissance in the Slavic world.
Download or read book Latinitas in the Polish Crown and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania written by Giovanna Siedina and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume contains articles concerning the influence of Latinitas in the territory now occupied by Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Belarus'. The articles, all published in English, range from history to literature and to cultural history and the history of ideas. They analyze the issue of building an identity, either real or imagined, from different points of view. Among the most interesting topics are the classical origins of myths and ideas that have helped build the national identities of those that constituted the ethnic mosaic of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the role of Neo-Latin poetry, as a conveyor of Latinitas, in the development of national identities. Because of the significance of Latinitas for both common European cultural traditions and the national cultures, literatures and languages of Belarus, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Ukraine, it is to be hoped that the subject will continue to attract a good level of attention in the future.
Download or read book Old Church Slavic written by Anna Polivanova and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on with total page 838 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a synchronic grammar and grammatical dictionaries of Old Church Slavic. The framework is based on a substantially revised version of the classical descriptive methodology. The intent is to improve on the classical monographs by Vaillant, Diels, Lunt in the direction of utmost completeness, explicitness, and deliberate consistency between the grammatical structure, the corpus of texts (limited to the seven oldest OCS manuscripts), and the dictionaries. The grammar is intended as a set of rules that provide a complete characterization of any OCS wordform. Peculiarities in the language of each source are described as systematic departures from canonical OCS, a conventional constructed variety primarily described by the grammar. The book is addressed to linguists working in Slavic studies, as well as to specialists in the general theory of grammar, especially phonologists and morphologists.
Download or read book Polish Culture in the Renaissance written by Danilo Facca and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the most recent conference of the Renaissance Society of America, two sessions were devoted entirely to the Renaissance in Poland. In fifty-nine editions of what is considered the most prestigious international appointment for experts of Renaissance culture, this is the first time that characteristic features of sixteenth-century Poland were the subject of analysis and debate. The interest generated at the conference and the academic value of the contributions convinced the organisers of the panels to ask the speakers to develop and revise their contributions to conform with the conventions of the academic article. The result is a selection of essays that pursue specific pathways in exploring the cultural factors that affected the Renaissance in Poland: influences and originality in Polish literary and artistic production, orthodoxy and dissidence, the circulation of thought and reflection on the Res Publica in the spheres of both politics and philosophy. Adopting a distinctly interdisciplinary approach, the aim of this publication is to focus certain aspects of the Polish Renaissance and the cultural identity of sixteenth-century Poland in relation to the European context.

Download or read book Italia Russia e mondo slavo written by Maria Di Salvo and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of some of the most interesting work by Maria Di Salvo compiled on the occasion of her sixty-fifth birthday. These articles reflect her intellectual curiosity, her clarity of exposition and the capacity to apply and amalgamate different methodologies and disciplines, blending them into a coherent whole despite the variety of topics and subjects of study. We have favoured the essays that are harder to get hold of, making selections that enable the identification of two essential groups: the philological and literary studies and those related to the relations between Russia and Italy. We trust that the choices made will offer an organic overview of the intellectual and academic career of Maria Di Salvo, including the latest 'new path' of research, that on punctuation in the Slavic languages, and while awaiting the imminent publication by Edizioni dell'Orso, of the part devoted to Russia in the memoirs of Filippo Balatri, the famous castrato sent by the Grand Duke of Tuscany to the Russian court at the end of the seventeenth century.

Download or read book Contributi italiani al XV Congresso internazionale degl slavisti written by Marcello Garzaniti and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questo volume contiene i contributi italiani al XV Congresso Internazionale degli Slavisti (Minsk, 20-27 agosto 2013). Nel solco della migliore tradizione della slavistica italiana, i relatori presentano in diverse lingue un ampio ventaglio di tematiche che vanno dalla questione cirillo-metodiana alla riflessione critica su autori contemporanei. Pur nella diversità degli approcci disciplinari e metodologici, dalla paleografia all’analisi testuale, dalla comparativistica letteraria alla sociolinguistica, questi contributi mostrano che la slavistica italiana mantiene fede alle sue radici, sviluppando criticamente gli studi precedenti e aprendo nuove prospettive alla ricerca, mentre emerge una nuova generazione di studiosi. Come in passato, la slavistica italiana sta svolgendo un ruolo significativo non solo nelle relazioni culturali dell’Italia con i singoli paesi slavi, ma più complessivamente nell’orizzonte di un processo vasto e complesso di integrazione delle diverse culture europee, che va ben al di là dei confini dell’Unione Europea e in cui il mondo slavo, nella sua varietà di lingue e culture, costituisce uno dei suoi principali attori.
Download or read book The role of prefixes in the formation of aspectuality written by Rosanna Benacchio and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most widely debated topics in Slavic linguistics has always been verbal aspect, which takes different forms because of the various grammaticalization paths which led to its emergence. In the formation of the category of aspect in Slavic languages, a key role was played by the morphological mechanism of prefixation (a.k.a. preverbation), whereby the prefixes (which originally performed the function of markers of adverbial meanings) came to act as markers of boundedness. This volume contains thirteen articles on the mechanism of prefixation, written by leading international scholars in the field of verbal aspect. Ancient and modern Slavic varieties, as well as non-Slavic and even non-Indo-European languages, are represented, making the volume an original and significant contribution to Slavic as well as typological linguistics.
Download or read book Studi italiani di linguistica slava written by Anna Bonola and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays published here document the most recent linguistic research carried out in the field of Italian Slavistics. The contributions collected in the first part of the volume analyze the morphological and syntactic structures of various Slavic languages; the second part is dedicated to linguistic use; the last contains three experimental studies on the acquisition of Slavic languages, a particularly promising research area both for glottodidactic applications and for the contribution to studies on the relationship between thought and language. There are several Slavic languages studied (Czech, Polish, Russian, Slovenian, Ukrainian dialects, southern Slavic languages, including the spoken languages of the Pomaks in the Rhodope mountains), different perspectives (diachronic and synchronic) and various methodological approaches, testifying to the richness and progressive maturation of linguistic studies within Italian Slavistics.
