Book excerpt: "What connects the Romantic essays of Thomas De Quincey and the violent cinema of Brian De Palma? Or the "beautiful" suicides of Hedda Gabler and Yukio Mishima? Or the shootings of John Lennon and Ronald Reagan? In The Aesthetics of Murder, Joel Black explores the sometimes gruesome interplay between life and art, between actual violence and images of violence in a variety of literary texts, paintings, and films. Rather than exclude murder from critical consideration by dismissing it as a crime, Black urges us to ponder the killer's artistic role -- and our own experience as audience, witness, or voyeur. Black examines murder as a recurring, obsessive theme in the Romantic tradition, approaching the subject from an aesthetic rather than a moral, psychological, or philosophical perspective. And he brings into his discussion contemporary instances of sensational murders and assassinations, treating these as mimetic or cathartic activities in their own right. Combining historical documentation with theoretical insights, Black shows that the possibilities of representing violence -- and of experiencing it -- as art were recognized early in the nineteenth century as logical extensions of Romantic theories of the sublime. Since then, both traditional art forms and the modern mass media have contributed to the growing aestheticization of daily experience -- including murder, suicide, and terrorism." -- Book cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ingiustamente trascurato fino ad oggi quale vero e proprio capolavoro letterario dell'età moderna, La salita del monte Carmelo è l'opera più importante e significativa di Giovanni della Croce, da molti considerato uno dei maggiori poeti di lingua spagnola. Scritto tra il 1579 e il 1585 nella forma di un trattato introdotto da una splendida lirica, il testo è il contrappunto letterario del grande rinnovamento spirituale carmelitano, di cui Giovanni fu con santa Teresa d'Avila il principale artefice. Simbolo del contatto tra il divino e il terreno, tra il finito e l'infinito, il "monte" è in Giovanni della Croce la meta di un pellegrinaggio verso una liberazione: quella dell'anima dai pesi e dalle forze che la separano da Dio, dal Bene, dalla gioia. Ispirata dalle otto strofe della poesia di apertura - quella Notte oscura, illuminata dalle fiamme dell'amore, in cui l'anima si spoglia e si purifica dal male per prepararsi all'abbraccio con l'amato -, fitta di simbolismi e temi psicologici (l'evasione dal sensibile, il passaggio dalla meditazione alla contemplazione, l'esperienza mistica), la Salita non è solo uno scritto ascetico, ma anche un'opera di forte significato teologico e letterario. Non a caso la sede spirituale scelta dal poeta è il Carmelo, il monte dove il profeta Elia, con una preghiera, sconfisse i riti e le magie dei sacerdoti del dio Baal. Dopo la notte dei sensi e la notte dello spirito, di capitolo in capitolo, "di balza in balza" anche l'anima di Giovanni giunge alla meta, al congiungimento con l'amato, alla "trasformazione nell'amato", sul "monte della perfezione", in un cammino difficile ma esaltante che ha affascinato i lettori di ogni tempo.
