Julien : les années parisiennes
2009
This article intends to scrutinize in what ways Julian’s stay in Gaul as a Caesar were decisive in Julian’s political and military education, and whether a specific ruling style and manner may be detected in the Parisian years of Julian’s government. Relying on a critical analysis of the documentation (Julian himself, Mamertinus, Ammianus, Libanios), the author examines the military and civilian aspects of Julian’s training as an apparently inexperienced ruler but quick learner. She carries out a prosopographical study of the Caesar’s circle and the administrative staff which was then on duty, combining friendly and hostile persons. Gaul offered him a training ground and he became even the …
Tropes of Travel in Bernardine Evaristo’s Novels
2011
This paper is informed by an interpretative framework in which the theoretical paradigms of Cultural, Gender, (Post-)colonial and Tourism studies are interwoven. It is claimed that fostering a specific kind of literary and cultural tourism, centred on (post-)colonial authors’ works, might emerge as a political practice able to reshape the self-fashioning of Western European cultural heritage in non-essentialized terms. Consequently, this would also help promote cross-cultural exchanges. In this respect, Lara (1997), The Emperor’s Babe (2001) and Soul Tourists (2005), the first three novels by the London-born Anglo-Nigerian writer Bernardine Evaristo, appear to be extremely relevant literary…

Bernardine Evaristo’s The Emperor’s Babe: Re-Narrating Roman Britannia; De-Essentializing British National Identity
2014
The essay aims to demonstrate that, by representing the Black group as integral to British history, Bernardine Evaristo's The Emperor’s Babe imaginatively intervenes into the contemporary transmission of European history by unseating the conventional notion of racial purity on which the Western historical archive has been built. The novel thus questions hegemonic notions of Britishness and simultaneously re-inscribes them by offering new inclusive configurations of the British identity. Evaristo’s complex articulation of inter- and intra-gender power relations prevents the novel from developing the ethnic motif in simplistic celebratory terms and simultaneously enables the narrative to intr…
Bernardine Evaristo’s The Emperor’s Babe: De-essentialising Euro-Mediterranean History
2011
Informed by an interpretative framework where the theoretical paradigms of British Cultural studies and Black feminism inextricably interweave, the paper aims at illustrating a complex identity model of the Black British woman as delineated in Anglo-Nigerian writer Bernardine Evaristo’s The Emperor’s Babe (2001). Published at the turn of the 21st century, Evaristo’s second novel-in-verse revolves around the life-experience of a young black woman born of Sudanese parents in Roman London, Zuleika, who ends up having an intense relationship with the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus. In its highly orchestrated narrative fabric where prose and poetry conflate, this unconventional historical novel…

La divisa de las granadas del rey Enrique IV de Castilla y su estela posterior
2015
ABSTRACT: This study analyzes the meaning of the impresa or device of the pomegranates, with the motto « Agro dulce », utilized by Henry IV (1425-1474), of the House of Trastamara, King of Castile from 1454 until his death. By means of a review of vestiges that remain of the device, especially in architectonic elements, I postulate that the pomegranate may have been used as the family impresa of the House of Trastamara and their descendants. This, it seems, can be deduced from the pictura of the device in several personal imprese of relatives who lived in the sixteenth century. KEYWORDS: pomegranate, devices, royal clemency, Henry IV, Catholic Monarchs, Catherine of Aragon, Charles V, Phili…
Il demos in Erodiano
2018
In Herodian’s historical view the demos appears to play an important political role in critical stages of the Roman empire. The political success of an emperor depends on the popular approval in Rome or in the provincial cities, besides the support of the soldiers. The analysis of the words demos and ochlos, used by Herodian with different values, reveals that the historian cannot be defined filo-popular, but shows throughout interest in the popular participation in civil struggles.
Il passeggero sconosciuto: Viktor Ullmann e "L'Imperatore di Atlantide" (1943-44). Prefazione di Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi. Fotografie di Ivan Fric (US…
2021
Nel 1943-44 Viktor Ullmann compone a Theresienstadt l'opera in un atto "L'Imperatore di Atlantide" (Der Kaiser von Atlantis), su libretto di Peter Kien. Il volume ricostruisce la genesi dell'opera e ne descrive i percorsi narrativi e gli influssi musicali (dal cabaret stilizzato di Kurt Weill, alla dodecafonia e al "Canto della Terra" di Mahler), indagando le ragioni per cui lo spettacolo non fu mai rappresentato all'interno del ghetto. In 1943-44 Viktor Ullmann composed in Theresienstadt the one-act "The Emperor of Atlantis" (Der Kaiser von Atlantis), on a libretto by Peter Kien. The bookre constructs the genesis of the work and describes its narrative paths and musical influences (from Ku…
Arnold Zweigs Auseinandersetzung mit der Judenfrage in seinen frühen Erzählungen. Zur schlesischen Prägung der gestalteten Erfahrungen
2017
Artykuł jest poświęcony literaturoznawczo zaniedbanemu aspektowi twórczości Arnolda Zweiga, mianowicie tym wczesnym opowiadaniom, które traktują o jego judaizmie. W pierwszej kolejności analizowane są nowele Die Flucht der van Spandows i Die Krähe. Następnie pada pytanie, jakie możliwości uchwycenia i opisu żydowskiego losu dawało śląskie pochodzenie Arnolda Zweiga.
