Book excerpt: Drawing on the recent renewal of interest in the debate on orality and literacy this book investigates the varying perceptions and representations of orality in contemporary Italian fiction, providing a fresh perspective on this rich and fast-developing debate and on the study of the Italian literary language. The book brings together a number of complementary approaches to orality from the fields of linguistics, literary and media studies and offers a detailed analysis of a broad variety of authors and texts that appeared over the last three decades - ranging from internationally acclaimed writers such as Celati, Duranti and Tabucchi, through De Luca and Baricco, to the latest generation of writers, such as Campo, Ballestra and Nove. By exploring the complementary facets of Italian orality, and its diachronical developments since the seventies, this study questions the traditionally dichotomic approach to the study of orality and literacy and posits a more flexible, cross-modal approach that accounts for the increasing hybridisation of text forms and media and for the greater interaction between the spoken and the written as well as their representations.

Download or read book The Divine Comic written by Carlo Celli and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2001-07-17 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roberto Benigni, the Italian comedian, actor, director, and writer, gained international fame when his film La vita è bella/ Life Is Beautiful (1997) won three Oscars in 1999, including Best Foreign Film and Best Actor. Benigni has been a steady presence in Italian popular culture since the mid-1970s. This book introduces Benigni's performances in film, stage, and television, little known outside of Italy, with an emphasis on the cultural and intellectual backdrops that characterize his films, including his origins among the Tuscan rhyming poets and his experiences in the Roman avant-garde theater. Benigni's statements about his experiences and apprenticeships with cinema notables like Cesare Zavattini and Federico Fellini reveal a wealth of fresh information and confirm the sense that there is more to this madcap buffoon than meets the eye.
Download or read book IL SOGNATORE DEL MONDO VERO written by Alessio Arzuffi and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-12-05 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carne, sangue, acciaio, plastica e tutti i materiali possibili e immaginabili: non solo, il mondo è fatto anche di idee. A volte, un'idea può cambiare il mondo. Non è un'ipotesi: è un dato di fatto. Ci sono idee che, come le stelle in cielo, illuminano la Terra per epoche intere. Come le stelle, le idee ogni tanto tramontano, e non è detto che, prima di scomparire per sempre, diventino nefasti buchi neri. Le idee possono salvare, ma anche uccidere.Il Sognatore del «Mondo vero» parte dall'idea che per Sigmund Freud sia possibile, sulla base della metodologia scientifica, arrivare a una Visione del mondo razionale, coerente, libera da millenarie illusioni. Ma la psicoanalisi può e deve essere ritenuta a tutti gli effetti -- scienza? Domanda di capitale importanza, se si pensa che il banco di prova sperimentale della verità della psicoanalisi sono i suoi pazienti, donne e uomini in carne e ossa...Un viaggio alle sorgenti del pensiero freudiano, alla luce di un'unica parola, antica quanto l'uomo: "libertà".

Book excerpt: Post 2010 - 2012 è una raccolta dei post che ho scritto e pubblicato in rete in questi ultimi tre anni. Li ripropongo perché mi sono accorto che rileggerli di seguito, in ordine cronologico, rendono l'idea della straordinarietà del tempo che abbiamo vissuto e che forse abbiamo già dimenticato per colpa della frenesia della vita di tutti i giorni. Questione di memoria, se volete.

Download or read book Continuum 2 written by Alessandro De Francesco and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2024-03-07 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers Alessandro De Francesco's essays and theoretical writings produced from 2015 to 2022. It follows the first volume Continuum: Writings on Poetry as Artistic Practice, reuniting essays written between 2007 and 2015. The title of this new volume could only be Continuum 2, given that the underlying concept remains the same: to testify to the seamless continuity of the author's commitment to poetry and art over the years, and to reaffirm at the same time, on a theoretical level, a model of creation and thinking as a continuous flow, not discretized, not quantized, but organic, liquid, without end or beginning; a kind of linguistic translation of the space-time in which every text, like every other object, is necessarily immersed. Continuum 2 is a trilingual book, containing writings in English, French, and Italian, and it is particularly focused on two lines of inquiry: the author's ongoing meditation on the poetic practice, and the first steps of his new investigation into seventeenth-century art, poetry, and forms of thought.

Download or read book Venti racconti intorno a Brian Wilson e Smile written by Vittorino Testa and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il 6 maggio 1967 Brian Wilson dichiara che l'album dei Beach Boys Smile, su cui sta lavorando da mesi, è stato accantonato. Il disco non uscirà. Tre settimane dopo, il 1° giugno, esce Sgt Pepper's dei Beatles che raccoglierà tutti i primati, la fama, il posto nella storia che sarebbe potuto essere di Smile. Molti affermano che se Smile fosse uscito nel 1967, opere come Sgt Pepper's o anche lo stesso Dark side of the moon dei Pink Floyd non avrebbero avuto lo stesso impatto e significato. La figura di Brian Wilson e Smile, il capolavoro perduto dei Beach Boys messa a confronto un gruppo di giovani autori, ha generato questa antologia di racconti, sorprendenti, intriganti, quanto può essere un viaggio nel tempo e nelle idee di quaranta anni indietro, da parte di una generazione nata quando Kurt Cobain moriva.
Download or read book Early Modern Voices in Contemporary Literature and on Screen written by Ambra Moroncini and published by Quod Manet. This book was released on 2024-03-13 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “intangible power” of literature, which, in Umberto Eco’s words, “allows us to travel through a textual labyrinth (be it an entire encyclopaedia or the complete works of William Shakespeare) without necessarily ‘unravelling’ all the information it contains”, may be clearly identifiable in our contemporary age of intertextuality and, most importantly, of interdisciplinarity. It suffices to think of the countless film adaptations of Shakespeare’s works, or of the popular appeal of Dan Brown’s global bestsellers, the so-called Robert Langdon book series, which has made original (and contentious) use of literary and artistic masterpieces such as Dante’s Divine Comedy and Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper. What is more, the investigation of literature’s verbality through the lenses of cinematic and media perspectives has greatly benefitted from scholarly insights into dialogism, heteroglossia, polyphony, and historiophoty, opening new aural and visual windows of interpretation and knowledge. With these considerations in mind, this book explores the enduring presence of some of the most revolutionary early modern voices and works in our contemporary time. It embraces a rich diversity of literary genres (from poetry to storytelling, novels, fairy tales, and historical colonial chronicles, while also considering musical theatre compositions), and broadens the scope of research to the world of media, with cutting edge insights into contemporary films, TV series, and videogames. It presents innovative scholarly perspectives on how early modern works and themes are explored, remediated and refashioned today to address cultural, political, and social issues germane to our global moment.
Download or read book Di chi tiene la penna immagini di scrittori e scrittura nel romanzo italiano dal 1911 al 1942 Italian language Edition written by Simona Bianconi and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simona Bianconi explores the creative process of writing, its communicative aspects and the traces of the writer himself in his creations, as well as the effect writing has on the personality of the author.Through the analysis of texts by six outstanding protagonists of the Italian novel in the first half of the 20th century, Bianconi gives answers to fascinating questions that arise about its creators and encourages the reader to experience and understand writing as a revelation of creativity and life.L'invenzione letteraria può dare vita a un secondo scrittore, a sua volta all'opera. A sua volta colui che comunica al di là della parola, che si assume l'importante responsabilità della creazione, che intende lasciare traccia di sé. Da lui nasce il libro, sua sfida, sostegno, tormento; prova unica o reiterata. Come prende forma nel romanzo di primo grado la figura centrale dell'autore? Come si mostra l'immagine ammaliante del suo lavoro nelle storie di lotta e rinuncia, successo e mediocrità presentate? E qual è l'effetto della scrittura sul personaggio - anche nella sua interazione sociale - che, pure tra gravi ostacoli, la elegge tra le vie da percorrere e ne fa il proprio destino?Attraverso la lettura di testi di sei straordinari protagonisti del romanzo italiano nella prima metà del Novecento, ideatori di altrettanti artisti, donne e uomini, si è tentato di dare una risposta ad interrogativi seducenti che il lettore si pone.. In tal modo, penetrando il motivo dell'esperienza della letteratura, si giunge a toccare la scrittura come rivelazione e sigillo di vita.
Download or read book Universit Autonoma dei Bambini written by ALICE TRABUCCO and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Università Autonoma dei Bambini è un innovativo approccio psicopedagogico al bambino: partendo dall'asserzione di Einstein per cui "l'immaginazione è più che la conoscenza", osserviamo come ogni prodotto della conoscenza, sia artistica che scientifica, sia costituito prima nella sfera immaginativa e solo in un secondo tempo in quella razionale.L'immaginazione può essere dunque considerata come un vetro magico con una doppia funzione: una finestra volta verso l'esteriorità conoscitiva e uno specchio rivolto verso l'interiorità del bambino.Di conseguenza, ogni atto conoscitivo è un atto psicologico e, quindi, intrinsecamente psicoterapeutico.Da ciò deriva una nuova forma di psicopedagogia e psicoterapia, dove la conoscenza di sè avviene attraverso l'acquisizione dei simboli e dei significati delle discipline umanistiche, scientifiche e artistiche, rielaborate in chiave psicologica, presentate nelle nostre "facoltà" universitarie.
