Framing Migrant Memories: Lampedusa's Fragmented Archives
2022
The small island of Lampedusa, a key destination of the Central Mediterranean Route connecting Africa to Italy, offers a special observatory on the contemporary trans-Mediterranean odyssey of migrants, although often transformed into a “border spectacle.” Upon landing, migrants are stripped of their belongings, as these are impounded by the authorities. Such an act of dispossession is intended to deprive them of their histories, family ties and cultural identity. Photographer Mario Badagliacca has portrayed a selection of these lost and retrieved items in his work Fragments (2013). Each object reveals expectations, fears, desires, endurance, but cannot tell a full story. They are fragments …
Les spectacles à Antioche d’après Libanios
2008
The subject of my contribution might seem very wide. I intend, in fact, to develop it in two main directions: the theatrical shows and those of the circus. If Antioch people’s entertainment reaches its peak in the Olympic Games and Syriarch’s spectacles, more common ones were provided by theatrical shows and chariot-races. I shall study the part of these ordinary spectacles in Antioch people’s life, beginning with generalities on the already well-known world of actors, mimes and pantomimes, without lingering however, in order to move on to what I would like to focus: the circus world, the equestrian competitions which took place in the hippodrome, and the exaltation which they aroused.

Miti politici e attori collettivi. Orlando e lo spettacolo dell'antimafia
2022
From the 1980s to 2022, the role of mayor of Palermo is inextricably linked to the name of Leoluca Orlando. The hegemony of his political narrative is such that commissionerships and defeats are considered, in this period, mere parentheses in the history of the Municipality. In this contribution, we analyze the semantic device that, at the end of his first, glorious term as 'anti-mafia mayor', avoided Orlando’s discharge to be perceived as a defeat. A book-interview, in particular, had a strategic role in this resemantization. It’s a text by Michele Perriera (1988), journalist for L’Ora and theatre author, that operates a narrative shift of the political scene of Palermo from a fabulous to …
Centralità mediterranea della Palermo imperiale e tardoantica (secoli I-IV). Scenari sociopolitici
2020
Through the discussion of sources and analysis of data and material culture, the consideration of social facts with their complex interactions, I want to make a picture of the Roman Panhormus of the imperial age, with its municipal administrators, its senators, its curials, its people; a city that could enjoy theatrical performances, gladiators and venationes thanks to the prosperity manifested by the richness of the mosaics, imbued with that pagan religion, well rooted and still persisting at least until the fourth century.
Lope y la tramoya de la corte: entre tradición e innovación
2013
El trabajo se centra en el periodo de actividad de Lope de Vega como dramaturgo para reconstruir, con la reunión de datos conocidos y los aportados por algunos documentos de archivo, la actividad espectacular y festiva vinculada a la corte de los Austrias. El artículo hace balance de esa tradición espectacular, sobre la que cada vez se tiene mayor información, porque es ese telón de fondo el que permite entender y contextualizar cabalmente los grandes dramas-espectáculo escritos por Lope desde fechas tempranas y hasta poco antes de su muerte, y comprender las trasformaciones que supo imprimir a esa tradición. This paper focuses on the period of Lope de Vega’s activity as a playwright in ord…

Albert Soubies et Charles Malherbe : contributions à l’histoire de l’Opéra-Comique
2017
International audience; Cet article traite de plusieurs ouvrages écrits sur l’Opéra-Comique au tournant des xixe et xxe siècles. Il s’arrête en particulier sur les livres d’Arthur Pougin, Albert Soubies et Charles Malherbe. Les préfaces des ouvrages sont analysées pour comprendre les intentions historiques qui animent ces auteurs. Sur quelles sources travaillent-ils ? Quelles sont les places respectives de la compilation d’autres ouvrages et de l’analyse du document original ? Une attention particulière est portée à l’Almanach des spectacles édité par Soubies à partir de 1874, et à son utilisation.
