Download or read book Italian Style written by Eugenia Paulicelli and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its beginning and during periods of great transformations, movie-going for both men and women was akin to going to a fashion parade. Before the explosion of digital technology and its enchanted world, access to fashion was only accessible on the big screen. Fashion and style became reachable for the masses through cinema. And, with the genre of the fashion film, this continues today. Focusing on a number of crucial films and directors from the silent era to the present, this study will offer, for the first time, an in-depth exploration of the interaction between fashion and Italian cinema. The study, however, will privilege the golden age of Italian cinema, especially the crucial decades of the 1950s and 1960s during which, through the marriage of fashion and film, Italian fashion and style were launched globally. Through the lens of fashion, the study will revisit the films of some of Italy's most important film-makers, such as Antonioni, Fellini, Visconti and others and films as old as Mario Oxilia's silent Rapsodia Satanica (1917) to Luca Guadagnino's I am Love (2009).

Download or read book Nominal Syntax at the Interfaces written by Giuliana Giusti and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a new perspective on the syntax of nominal expressions in various European languages, arguing that articles do not directly and biunivocally realise semantic definiteness. The first two chapters provide an accessible introduction to recent developments in generative syntax, namely the cartographic and minimalist approaches, by focusing on the “imperfect” parallels between clauses and nominal expressions. The third chapter shows that feature sharing is not the result of a unique syntactic process, but, rather, the consequence of Merge, which creates syntactic structure instantiating two types of relation: Selection and Modification. It argues for three different ways of transferring features: Agreement allows for an argument (an independent phase, selected by a head) to re-enter the computation as part of the predicate of the new phase. It targets Person features and is not involved in the feature sharing triggered by modification. Concord copies the features of N (notably gender, number and case, where this is present). It is the result of Modification and can coexist with Agreement. Finally, Projection is triggered by multiple internal mergers of the head, bundled with all its interpretable and uninterpretable features, which may be realized in different segments. The fourth chapter focuses on the nature of determiners such as articles, demonstratives, quantifiers, possessive adjectives and pronouns, personal pronouns and proper names, and shows that only articles have the properties to be attributed to “functional heads” because they are a segment of a scattered nominal head. The rest of the volume is devoted to the analysis of syntactic phenomena, such as double definiteness, expletive articles, and weak and strong adjectival inflection, by means of the proposal that (scattered) nominal or adjectival heads concord with their modifiers. This approach reinterprets head movement in a fashion that makes it compatible with minimalist requirements, provides an explanation for the apparent optionality of head movement, eliminates the typology of head movements by adjunction or substitution, and gives an original answer to the doubts raised about the legitimacy of the very notion of “functional category”.

Download or read book La Banda del Pontino written by Emanuela Calura and published by Aletti Editore. This book was released on 2024-04-03 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con le immagini della nebbia che tutto avvolge e impedisce di scorgere oggetti e luoghi si apre il racconto di Emanuela Calura. La descrizione dimostra che questo fenomeno atmosferico, assai diffuso nelle zone del ferrarese, ci permette di spaziare con il pensiero, di fantasticare, creando una dimensione onirica che ci fa evadere dalla realtà. [...] Prendendo spunto da una visuale che nasconde contorni e connotati precisi, sei amici si ritrovano, dopo tanti anni, ad organizzare una gita in barca da Pontelagoscuro al Pontino. La nebbia diviene metafora di vita perché suscita il desiderio di superare una condizione contingente per incentivare il pensiero, la memoria rievocando un passato che li accomuna. In this short story by Emanuela Calura fog seems to be everywhere wrapping people, objects and places, changing perspectives on life as well as people’s line of sight. In spite of this cloaking fog so typical of Ferrara’s plain suburbs, people learn how to look beyond and concoct a life so far away from the experiences they go through in their town. [...] Starting from this need to go beyond, six friends meet after many years and plan to go from Pontelagoscuro to Il Pontino by boat. Fog is much more than a symbol, it is an everchanging condition which stimulates the need for a change, it is thought-provoking and it helps their memory to go back to the childhood they had spent together in those places.

Download or read book Sulle tracce di George Orwell in Birmania written by Emma Larkin and published by ADD Editore. This book was released on 2018-05-09 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Birmania gira una battuta popolare, secondo cui Orwell non scrisse soltanto un romanzo sul Paese, Giorni birmani, ma un'intera trilogia, completata da La fattoria degli animali e 1984. La connessione della Birmania (oggi chiamata Myanmar) con George Orwell non è metaforica, ma profonda e reale: sua madre era nata in Birmania al culmine del raj britannico e la nonna viveva ancora lì quando lui decise di arruolarsi. Alla scomparsa di Orwell, il romanzo in stesura trovato sulla sua scrivania era ambientato in Birmania. In un intrepido diario di viaggio dal taglio politico e biografico, Emma Larkin guida il lettore alla scoperta dei luoghi dove Orwell ha vissuto e lavorato come agente della Polizia imperiale britannica, vivendo esperienze che condizionarono profondamente la sua visione del mondo. Attraversando Mandalay e Yangon, le isolate aree meridionali del Delta dell'Irrawaddy e le montagne del nord dove gli inglesi andavano in villeggiatura per sfuggire al caldo delle pianure, l'autrice ritrae una Birmania appassionante e struggente. Prima colonizzata e in seguito governata da una giunta militare isolazionista e brutale, la nazione ha visto la propria storia e identità cancellate a più riprese da metodi di governo orwelliani, che hanno soppresso libertà d'espressione e pensiero. Ispirata dalla chiarezza morale e dal rifiuto dell'ingiustizia di Orwell, l'autrice incontra persone che hanno trovato un modo di resistere agli effetti annientatori di uno dei più crudeli Stati di polizia, restituendo loro dignità. Questo libro è una chiave per riscoprire Orwell, appassionarsi alla Birmania e trovare gli strumenti per capire il travagliato e contraddittorio processo di democratizzazione in corso.
