Scrittura letteraria e stampa di regime nella rivista bilingue italo-spagnola Legioni e Falangi/Legiones y Falanges (1940-1943)
2020
Il lavoro analizza la scrittura letteraria nella rivista bilingue Legioni e Falangi. Rivista d’Italia e di Spagna/Legiones y Falanges. Revista mensual de Italia y de España, che si pubblica parallelamente, in Italia e in Spagna, tra il 1940 e il 1943 e rappresenta un esempio paradigmatico del ruolo svolto dalla stampa come arma di lotta a servizio della manipolazione ideologica. Focalizzandosi sui contributi letterari di una rivista di regime si mette pienamente a fuoco il processo di assimilazione che il sistema egemonico tenta costantemente di realizzare per aggiudicarsi, tramite l’adesione – reale o apparente, cosciente o incosciente – degli intellettuali tradizionalmente non omologati a…
Questioning the Canon and Re-Writing/Re-Righting the Female Colonized Subject: Mary Seacole’s Wonderful Adventures and George Bernard Shaw’s The Adve…
2021
Albeit different in terms of formal solutions and conception, Mary Seacole’s 'Wonderful Adventures' (1857) and G.B. Shaw’s 'The Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search for God' (1932) share an oppositional aesthetics which, in both cases, helps undermine any prevailing representation of the colonial Other. Indeed, Seacole’s and Shaw’s works manipulate the trope of travel in such a way as to overcome traditional conceptions of the literary canon as well as hegemonic visions of subjectivities. In taking into consideration the innovative representation of the Black colonized woman as delineated in both works, the essay aims to show the way in which they present an anti-normative identity mo…

Dendrolatrie. Miti e pratiche dell'immaginario arboreo
2021
L’avvento dell’Antropoce, epoca in cui l’essere umano è diventato una forza geologica, scompagina la divisione del sapere tra scienze umane e naturali. Per comprenderlo, è necessario costruire nuove forme di alleanza tra discipline. È quanto invita a fare anche il fe- nomeno delle dendrolatrie. Diffuso in ogni luogo e in ogni epoca, il culto degli alberi testimonia come il mondo arboreo abbia plasma- to modi di vivere e di pensare, venendone a sua volta trasformato. Per scavare nella complessità di questo scambio, il volume racco- glie i frutti del dialogo tra un gruppo interdisciplinare di ricercatrici e ricercatori che esplorano l’immaginario arboreo in tre direzioni: quella degli studi s…
The Five-star Movement inside the institutions in Sicily: from ‘swimming the Strait’ to institutionalisation in local politics
2019
This article considers the institutionalisation of the Five-star Movement (M5s) in regional and local councils. It discusses the process of the Movement’s institutionalisation, analysing the development of its internal organisation; its local platforms and political performance; its institutional repertoire of action, and the several internal and external conflicts between its own rules and the ‘others’. In particular, the article investigates the changes affecting the M5s after its engagement with the Sicilian regional assembly and Sicilian municipal councils, and the ways in which the specific institutionalisation process it underwent was influenced by the complexities of the political an…
Aesthetics and “transcultural” turn
2015
What does “trancultural turn” exactly means and which is its relationship with aesthetics? Culture has never been as important as it is today, so it is now more than ever crucial to reflect on its current expressions and transformations. In this sense it is useful to examine the perspective of cultural studies. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of the “cultural turn” on aesthetics highlighting positive and negative aspects of the relationship between aesthetics and cultural studies. In spite of many criticisms it has received (eclecticism, lack of scientific rigor, methodological unreliability and so on…), it is crucial to accept the challenge coming from cultural studies …

The Development and Promotion of Controlled Designations of Origin (Appellations d’Origine Contrôlées) in Burgundy: The Recognition of Terroir Wines …
2019
From the end of the nineteenth century to the first half of the twentieth century, French, and especially Burgundian vineyards will undergo profound changes with a relatively important transformation of wine production and marketing standards. Indeed, in the nineteenth century, the wine merchants are dominating the wine production in Burgundy. They buy grapes, make wines, breed and sell all the wines put on the market. However, thanks to economic and political changes affecting the sector during the last third of the nineteenth century (phylloxera crisis, overproduction, fraud, Third Republic,..), a political, legal and commercial fight led by winegrowers trade unions begins. They stick to …
