Escritura y ciudad en María Zambrano : reencuentro de una amistad perdida tras la derrota sufrida

2015

En este trabajo abordamos la reflexión que sobre el acto del escribir y la escritura realiza María Zambrano en sus escritos "Del escribir" y "Por qué se escribe", para relacionarlos con uno de los espacios más importantes para la pensadora: la ciudad. Aunque Zambrano no desarrolló una "teoría" sobre la ciudad propiamente dicha, su significado e imagen se encuentran en gran parte de su obra. La escritura, como logos que existe físicamente en el mundo, construye la ciudad: ese lugar de la palabra y de la libre expresión que nos protege. Una ciudad que parece derrotada ante la desaparición del pensamiento creativo, no instrumental, en el espacio público y que exige su reencuentro.

Monete false. Le contraddizioni del capitalismo occidentale nella narrativa di Elvira Dones e Anilda Ibrahimi

2020

Il saggio analizza il modo in cui il modello economico occidentale diventa oggetto di narrazione in Vergine giurata di Elvira Dones e Rosso come una sposa di Anilda Ibrahimi. Questi due romanzi, pubblicati rispettivamente nel 2007 e nel 2008, reinterpretano da un punto di vista “diverso” le questioni economiche, dando voce ad una alterità che non è solo geografica, ma anche esistenziale e biologica. Lo sguardo impietoso di Dones e Ibrahimi si appunta sulle contraddizioni del capitalismo globale: il mito della ricchezza occidentale, che attraverso la retorica dei media colonizza l’immaginario migrante, si traduce narrativamente nell’ottica dello smascheramento. The essay analyzes how the Wes…

2018

The authors of the article have gathered literary works of poets and writers – former students of Riga Polytechnicum (RP) and Riga Polytechnic institute (RPI), and have characterized them.

Learning from the Past : The Women Writers Project and Thirty Years of Humanities Text Encoding

2017

In recent years, intensified attention in the humanities has been paid to data: to data modeling, data visualization, “big data”. The Women Writers Project has dedicated significant effort over the past thirty years to creating what Christoph Schöch calls “smart clean data”: a moderate-sized collection of early modern women’s writing, carefully transcribed and corrected, with detailed digital text encoding that has evolved in response to research and changing standards for text representation. But that data—whether considered as a publication through Women Writers Online, or as a proof of the viability of text encoding approaches like those expressed in the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Gu…

How to Become an Author: The Poet Isa Asp and Her Childhood Fascination with Writing for Magazines

2021

In this article the author explores the early development of the identity as a writer of a Finnish-speaking poet Lovisa (or Isa) Asp (1853–1872). She wrote her lyrics in the Finnish language in the 1870s, and she is regarded as the first 19th-century female Finnish poet (whose works were published in Finnish). She began writing poetry (initially in Swedish) as a teenager and started her literary career as a contributor to children’s magazines. Asp began her studies at the Teacher Training College in Jyväskylä in autumn 1871 with the aim of working as an elementary school teacher, but she also dreamt of becoming an established writer someday. Unfortunately, her early death meant that most of…

Brancati su Pirandello e il pirandellismo

2019

Nel romanzo breve "Sogno di un valzer" uscito a puntate su “Quadrivio”, dal 5 giugno al 14 agosto 1938, Vitaliano Brancati mette in scena, tra osservazione dei luoghi e rilevamento di costume, un’umanità fuori misura, continuamente in bilico tra realtà e sogno. A Caltanissetta (Nissa) la città nel cui Istituto magistrale lo scrittore, voltate le spalle alla Roma fascista, è venuto a insegnare, personaggi non appariscenti, insignificanti, che tuttavia covano desideri, si arrovellano in domande metafisiche. Prende così forma il leitmotiv delle critica al pirandellismo che più volte con ironia sottile affiora negli scritti brancatiani. Il saggio mostra come esso si intrecci con la comicità sul…

The reader does matter or how to tell a story about post-war Czechoslovakia

2018

Artykuł dotyczy roli odbiorcy w kreowaniu świata przedstawionego przez pisarzy w dwóch odmiennych sytuacjach: pisarza krajowego oraz emigracyjnego. Jako przykład posłużyły trzy powieści: krajowa Báječná léta pod psa (1992) Michala Viewegha  oraz emigracyjne Ledová tříšť (Treibeis, 1992) i Zjasněná noc (Verklärte Nacht, 1997) Libušy Moníkovej. Podczas analizy zastosowano metodologię Pascale Cassanovy, dzielącą literatury na dwie grupy: literatury „słabe” i „mocne” lub, stosowane zamiennie, „młe” i  „duże”. Okoliczności, w których tworzy autor, determinują środki wyrazu, jakich używa: pisarz krajowy jest w bardziej osobistym kontakcie z czytelnikiem, używa skrótów myślowych, ironii czy metafo…

Metaphors in dialogue: feminist literary critics, translators and writers

2011

This article seeks to investigate the changing perception of the term “translation” in feminist TS thanks to a continuous dialogue with other fields such as, feminist literary criticism, post-structuralism, postcolonial studies and cultural studies that have borrowed and utilised the notion of translation. “Translation” has become a “travelling concept” for feminist scholars who have utilized it in a metaphorical way for a feminist critique of language and ideology. The essay proposes a new approach to feminist translation studies from an interdisciplinary perspective that takes into account key-concepts and figurative language in different feminisms in dialogue. Metaphors of translation an…
