Miti mediterranei: un viaggio millenario
2020
Ha osservato Sebastiano Tusa: «Al di là delle immense e svariate risorse materiali che il mare ha offerto ed offre all’uomo, ve ne sono altre che attengono alla sfera sovrastrutturale che hanno nei millenni rifornito ed animato l’immensa enciclopedia dei miti, delle leggende e dei culti ad esso ispirati o, comunque, connessi». Distesa senza confini e abisso insondabile, il mare, con le sue repentine mutazioni di stato, le sue furiose tempeste e le sue mortifere bonacce, si è sempre imposto a chi lo solcava per raggiungere altri luoghi o per ricavarne da vivere come spazio del pericolo e del mistero, generando e sostenendo un ampio e polimorfo immaginario e divenendo attore e scenario al con…
Louisa S. McCord's Caius Gracchus: A Transatlantic Southern Literary Response to 1848 European Revolutions
2016
Louisa S. McCord is the most important female intellectual in the antebellum South and one of its most recognized voices, even if her name rarely appears in studies not directly related to her region. McCord has a parallel, according to Mary Kelley, in Margaret Fuller, the relevant prewar Northern intellectual and essayist. From contrasting ideological positions, both left testimony of their interest in constructing a model of womanhood, capable of facing the contingencies of their times. Born in one of the most influential families of South Carolina, McCord produced a phenomenal synthesis of the conservative political, economic and religious arguments accepted in her times and managed to t…
Dei, semidei ed eroi nella Sicilia greca
2022
Quando la presenza di Odisseo comincia ad essere localizzata anche in Sicilia, a partire dalla seconda metà del V secolo a.C., nell’isola erano già presenti molti culti e presenze divine ed eroiche. In questa breve sintesi il paesaggio religioso siciliano è descritto attraverso quel prezioso Baedeker ante litteram che è (almeno per alcuni aspetti) la Biblioteca diodorea. When the presence of Odysseus also began to be localised in Sicily, starting in the second half of the 5th century BC, many cults and divine and heroic presences were already present on the island. In this brief summary, the Sicilian religious landscape is described through that precious Baedeker ante litteram that is (at l…
Tragedia griega: una metáfora de debate público y participación democrática
2019
Athenian citizens deliberate in the assembly, but the theatre also becomes a place for public debate. In addition to being a consequence of economic or cultural aspects, democracy is a consequence of the development of a democratic imaginary. Located in that imaginary, Greek tragedies, regarded as «democratic myths», work to reaffirm Athenian democracy. Far from being dogmatic, the tragic myth explores the contradictions of social and personal life and implicitly or explicitly seeks their correction. This dramatic genre encourages participation from the spectator (citizen) that greatly exceeds the schematic reduction in Aristotelian theory of catharsis. Greek tragedy proposes the existence …

Cronaca di una morte misteriosa. Variazioni sul mito di Ifigenia
2014
The paper analyses two different mythical traditions related to the final moment of the sacrifice of Iphigenia, i.e. the death of the girl or her rescue by Artemis. The aim is to enquire wich of the two versions Euripides has chosen for the final of his drama Iphigenia in Aulis. The exodus of the tragedy when Iphigenia is substituted by a deer, has been considered spurious. For that reason, many scholars concluded that the drama ended with the death of the protagonist. However, the analysis of the mythic-ritual context and the dramatic plot can suggest that the safety of Iphigenia was the true conclusion.
