Gli avantesti delle opere abbandonate. Georges Perec e la disseminazione dei fantasmi del romanzo
2022
The abandoned work is a form of voluntary incompletion because the interruption of the writing process is decided by the author himself. Abandonment is preceded by considerations and traces that make the process intelligible, especially when identified in avant-textual documents in which the author often not only plans the construction of the text but also reasons about it by tracing the criticalities that condition its progress. The article aims to reflect on some aspects of Georges Perec's abandoned works, showing how these are integrated within the completed works through the processes of dissemination and proliferation.
L’anamorphose du roman : les distorsions de la perspective dans "la Disparition" de Georges Perec
2007
L’anamorphose apparaît en application aux arts plastiques et se traduit par le bouleversement du point de vue habituel. Cette distorsion visuelle, en créant le caractère énigmatique de l’œuvre, vise à la déstabilisation du spectateur qui, sollicité par les formes, participe de la pluralité de la vision et de la démultiplication des possibles interprétatifs. Cette relativité de la place du spectateur permet la migration du concept d’anamorphose au domaine littéraire et son application en tant que pratique de création ou, plutôt, de réception : L’anamorphose […] procède par une intervention des éléments et des fonctions. Au lieu d’une réduction progressive à leurs limites visibles, c’est une …

Positional goods and social welfare: a note on George Pendleton Watkins’ neglected contribution
2018
Watkins's analysis of adventitious utility contains many aspects that are connected to the contemporary debate on positional goods. First, Watkins adventitious utility emerges from a process of social exclusion and can create negative externalities, in the sense that positive consumption of one individual implies negative consumption by another individual. Not only it creates negative externalities on other individuals, but it can initiate a race-to-the-bottom, where individuals waste an increasing amount of money on goods which do not possess any real utility.

AbstractStudies of material objects in the field of memory studies have followed diverse epistemological and disciplinary trajectories, but their shared characteristic has been the questioning of philosophical assumptions concerning human relations with inanimate things and lower-level organic objects, such as plants, within the Aristotelian hierarchy of beings. Rather than accept at face value their categorizations as passive or deficient in comparison to the human subject, critical scholarship has reformulated the place and role of nonhuman entities in culture. This essay examines the nexus of materiality and memory in the work of the French philosopher and art historian Georges Didi-Hube…
Rappresentazioni vertiginose. Tre esempi: Perec, Lequeu, Douat
2022
Nel novembre del 2009 il Museo del Louvre decise di affidare a Umberto Eco la direzione di una serie di conferenze da tenere su un argomento di sua scelta. Eco scelse il tema della ‘lista’ conferendo a quella manifestazione il nome di Vertige de la liste a cui seguì un saggio dallo stesso titolo pubblicato da Bompiani. Questa breve nota prende in prestito la stessa tematica che, per via del suo carattere altamente ete-rogeneo, è in grado di coinvolgere diversi ambiti del sapere senza minimamente accennare ad esaurirsi. L’elenco, strettamente legato alla figura retorica dell’accumulazione, può infatti costituirsi di segni, parole, suoni e di qualsiasi altra forma di rappresentazione utile a …
Cinque piccoli saggi sulla "Carmen" di Bizet
1996
Il saggio si costituisce di cinque sezioni o capitoli che investono altrettanti aspetti della genesi e della struttura teatrale/musicale della "Carmen" di Bizet: dall'entusiasmo dell'ultimo Nietzsche per l'opera del compositore francese fino alla fonte letteraria e alla drammaturgia dello spettacolo e agli eventi legati alla prima rappresentazione e alla morte del compositore.
‘The Natural and the Jeweler’. Note su Ira Gershwin
2010
Il saggio si occupa del modo in cui Ira Gershwin scriveva i testi per le canzoni del fratello George. Nella prima parte viene approfondito il fatto che, nell'attività dei songwriter americani, la musica precede il testo. Nella seconda parte vengono esaminate le caratteristiche più salienti delle personalità artistiche di George e di Ira Gershwin. Nella terza parte viene proposta l'analisi di due pezzi esemplari composti dai due fratelli: "They can't take that away from me" e "Love walked in".
Edizioni, traduzioni e censure: Cicognara, i fratelli Giachetti e l’editoria artistica di inizio Ottocento
2018
This article focuses on Leopoldo Cicognara's role as an advisor of the Italian publisher Giachetti (Prato). After a brief analysis of three key publications (Cicognara's history of sculpture; Séroux d'Agincourt's history of medieval and early-modern Art; Winckelmann's history of ancient art), the authors discuss the role of censorship and its consequences for nineteenth-century art books. The documentary appendix includes a complete transcription of all reports by the Florentine censor p. Mauro Bernardini.
El manuscrito del 'Cancionero de Baena' (PN1) : Descripción codicológica y evolución histórica
2018
The present article attempts to establish as accurately as possible the chronological trajectory of the unique codex of the Cancionero de Baena (PN1 in the Dutton nomenclature). It begins with a detailed examination of the codicological aspects of the manuscript, which serve to date its origin to around 1465. This origin, combined with the historical data, supports a conjecture that the manuscript probably belonged to Gonzalo de Beteta, an official of both Enrique IV and the Catholic Kings. It would have passed from him to his grandson, Jorge de Beteta y Cardenas, who gave it to the Real Biblioteca de El Escorial in 1576. The article then follows the vicissitudes of the manuscript from its …
