Framing in Crisis. Literature and Optical Devices in the Age of Hoffmann

2016

This book analyzes the interplay of gazes, optical devices and images in literature. Following the developments of Visual Culture studies, literary theory has expanded its original field of investigation and addresses, beyond the traditional relationship between the verbal and the visual, the influence that gazes, optical devices and images can have on literary texts. This research tries to define the literary lives of the scopic regimes of modernity: the gazes of English early modern women's writing, the optical devices in German literature between Classicism and Romanticism, and the images of the mineral world in modern French aesthetics.

Storiografie parallele. Cos'è la non-fiction?

2019

Il libro propone una teoria della categoria di narrativa non-finzionale nota come "non-fiction". Dopo una premessa storico-teorica si esamina la non-fiction in base alle forme e ai generi adoperati in questa categoria di scrittura, dopo di che si procede a un'analisi di temi e costanti concettuali condotta attraverso una lettura per campioni di testi degli ultimi trent'anni. Una breve considerazione su potenzialità e limiti discorsivi, commerciali, comunicativi della non-fiction italiana e straniera chiude il libro.
