Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il paesaggio di cui si parla in questo libro - che esce ora in una nuova veste - non è soltanto lo scenario fermo, acquisito, apparentemente immutabile con cui si confronta il vivere quotidiano, ma anche e soprattutto il paesaggio che vive e si trasforma nel tempo col mutare delle forme di vita, dei modi di produrre e di rapportarsi delle società con il proprio territorio. Tanto il primo è spesso carico di suggestioni, quanto il secondo può stravolgere ogni immagine sotto la spinta di nuove attività e iniziative. Così è accaduto in Italia nei decenni trascorsi, quando la violenza delle trasformazioni ha sconvolto, cancellato o devastato paesaggi tra i più celebrati. È stato un salto di civiltà o una corsa illusoria e distruttiva? La domanda può trovare risposta solo attraverso una storia di come è cambiata l’Italia, Paese di tensioni, frenesie, fantasia, dove non è spesso riconosciuto il valore semantico del paesaggio. Ancora oggi assistiamo alla difficoltà di assumere la pianificazione paesistica quale strumento-guida delle trasformazioni. Laddove un tempo il paesaggio si configurava attraverso interventi esperti e secolari che esprimevano per intero una cultura, quello dell’Italia d’oggi sembra il risultato di interventi caotici, incoerenti, improvvisati, espressione di una società priva di disegni ideali, trascinata solo dalle regole del gioco economico e delle sue scenografie consumistiche, soggetta a un potere politico che non si è mai preoccupato di saldare presente e passato, come base dell’identità nazionale, di costruire architetture territoriali efficienti, di guidare consapevolmente le trasformazioni. Spesso complotti invisibili hanno operato e operano nel paesaggio italiano, cosicché riesce difficile oggi leggerne il senso, cogliere quel rapporto tra natura e cultura che dovrebbe essere la prima rivelazione semantica del paesaggio e offrire un’indicazione sul futuro di una società che, bene o male, ha fatto il suo ingresso nella cosiddetta età post-industriale. A meno che non sia proprio questo il senso del post-industriale o del post-moderno.

Download or read book Ecocritical Approaches to Italian Culture and Literature written by Pasquale Verdicchio and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume provide a theorization of what we might call the “denatured” wild, in other words a notion of environmental “restoration” or "reinhabitation" that recognizes and reconfigures the human factor as an interdependent entity. Acknowledging the contributions of Marco Armerio, Serenella Iovino, Giovanna Ricoveri, Patrick Barron and Anna Re among others, Ecocritical Approaches to Italian Culture and Literature: The Denatured Wild negotiates the ground within the historicizing, theoretical perspectives, and surveying spirit of these writers. Despite the central role that nature has played in Italian culture and literature, there has been an evident lack of critical approaches free of the bridles of the socio-political manipulations of nationalism. The authors in this collection, by recognizing the groundbreaking work of many non-Italian ecocritics, challenge the narrowly defined conventions of Italian Studies and illuminates complexities of an Italian ecocriticism that reveals a rich environmentally engaged literary and cultural tradition.
Download or read book Paesaggio civile written by Serenella Iovino and published by Il Saggiatore. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In un appassionato viaggio lungo la Penisola, Serenella Iovino ci mostra il paesaggio italiano: i resti di Gibellina su cui oggi sorge il Cretto di Burri, i territori porosi di Napoli e la bellezza anfibia di Venezia, le terre dolenti dell’Irpinia e dell’Aquila, e poi le Langhe, dove vigneti sterminati si intrecciano al passato partigiano. Di ognuno di questi paesaggi riesce a portare alla luce le ferite e i riscatti, le amnesie e le memorie che dicono chi siamo e chi vogliamo essere.Fin dalle prime pagine di Paesaggio civile, Serenella Iovino chiarisce subito che il paesaggio non è mai semplicemente un’esperienza estetica o una porzione di territorio catturata dal nostro sguardo. Ridurlo a questo significherebbe tradirlo. Il paesaggio, invece, è la sintesi dei corpi e delle storie che nel tempo ne hanno determinato la forma, e insieme è l’anima di comunità e luoghi che aspirano al futuro. Il paesaggio è un noi, un orizzonte politico che include tutti, e raccontarlo significa parlare delle violenze e degli abusi che lo sfigurano, ma anche dei sogni e dei progetti artistici che rispondono a queste violenze e abusi, e si impongono come necessari gesti di resistenza"

Download or read book Adonis written by Carlo Caruso and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this detailed treatment of the myth of Adonis in post-Classical times, Carlo Caruso provides an overview of the main texts, both literary and scholarly, in Latin and in the vernacular, which secured for the Adonis myth a unique place in the Early Modern revival of Classical mythology. While aiming to provide this general outline of the myth's fortunes in the Early Modern age, the book also addresses three points of primary interest, on which most of the original research included in the work has been conducted. First, the myth's earliest significant revival in the age of Italian Humanism, and particularly in the poetry of the great Latin poet and humanist Giovanni Pontano. Secondly, the diffusion of syncretistic interpretations of the Adonis myth by means of authoritative sixteenth-century mythological encyclopaedias. Thirdly, the allegorical/political use of the Adonis myth in G.B. Marino's (1569-1625) Adone, published in Paris in 1623 to celebrate the Bourbon dynasty and to support their legitimacy with regard to the throne of France.

Download or read book Rome in the Age of Enlightenment written by Hanns Gross and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-22 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only scholarly work in the English language on the city of Rome in the Age of the Enlightenment, and the only book in any language to treat this fascinating city in all its multifarious aspects. Professor Gross combines extensive archival research with the latest findings of other scholars to produce a uniquely rounded portrait of the papal capital, elegantly illustrated with contemporary engravings by Piranesi and others. The book is divided into two sections, in the first of which Professor Gross discusses the material and institutional structures of the city, including its demography, economy, food supply, and judicial systems. The second section considers aspects of intellectual, cultural, and artistic life. Professor Gross contends not only that ancien-regime Rome witnessed a decline in Counter-Reformation fervour, but that this decay resulted in a marked dissonance in the political, social, and cultural life of the city.

Download or read book Building on Water written by Salvatore Ciriacono and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundamental natural resource, water and its use not only reflect "modes of production" but also that complex interplay between resources and their exploitation (and domination) by various social agents, who in their turn are inevitably influenced by the abundance or rarity of water supplies. Focusing on scientific, social and economic issues from the 16th to the 19th century, the author, one of Italy's leading historians in this field, looks at the innumerable conflicts that arose over water resources and the environmental impact of projects intended to control them. Venice and Holland are undoubtedly the two most fascinating cases of societies "built on water," with the conquest of vast expanses of marshland - either inland or on the coast (the Dutch polders or the Venetian lagoon) – not only stimulating agricultural production, but also nurturing a deeply-felt relationship between the local populations and the element of water itself. The author rounds off his study by looking at the influence the hydraulic technology developed in Holland would have on many European countries (France, England and Germany in particular) and at questions raised by contemporaries about the environmental impact of agricultural progress and its effects upon the social-economic equilibria within the communities concerned.
