“Insider Knowledge Versus Outsider Perspective in Early Italian American and African American Detective Stories”
2003
Contre l'autonomie et la clôture du texte : formes et ambiguïtés de la fiction moderniste européenne : (1910-1939)
2014
Although it has been a key concept of literary criticism in the English-speaking world for more than a half-century, modernism remains a relatively misunderstood notion in France, owing to its proximity to somewhat close concepts such as modernity and avant-garde, which it only partially overlaps. The concept is relevant to experimentation in all literary genres, but this study focuses on the novel, with texts by James Joyce, André Gide, Ramón Gómez de la Serna and Virginia Woolf. Those have often been mischaracterized by literary critics as either mimetic novels — though more realistic than realist novels — or more frequently as emblematic of the self-referential text, as defined by the do…
Chemical Element Levels as a Methodological Tool in Forensic Science
2014
The aim of the present study was to define a methodological strategy for understanding how post- mortem degradation in bones caused by the environment affects different skeletal parts and for selecting better preserved bone samples, employing rare earth elements (REEs) analysis and multivariate statistics. To test our methodological proposal the samples selected belong to adult and young individuals and were obtained from the Late Roman Necropolis of c/Virgen de la Misericordia located in Valencia city centre (Comunidad Valenciana, Spain). Therefore, a method for the determination of major elements, trace elements and REEs in bone remains has been developed employing Inductively-Coupled Pla…
La narrativa cinese in Italia a cavallo tra fine Ottocento e inizio Novecento: il contributo di Giuseppe Barone (1861-1924)
2022
Between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, several Italian early sinologists and translators contributed to introduce numerous works of Chinese literature to the Italian readers. Among them, the Neapol- itan polyglot Giuseppe Barone (1861-1924) was a prolific author and trans- lator, not just in Italian, but also in French, Spanish, Latin and Greek. As a matter of fact, his Chinese-related production amounts to more than 30 writings, including essays and short studies on Chinese culture, economy and society, as well as translations of poems, plays and short stories. However, an exhaustive investigation on his contribution to the early translations of Chinese literatu…
“¡O vos, dubitantes, creed las istorias e los infortunios de los humanales!”. Ficción alegórica y modos de “recontar” en los decires de don Íñigo Lóp…
2017
Los decires narrativos de don Íñigo López de Mendoza representan una de las muestras más sobresalientes de la aclimatación de la ficción alegórica en la literatura medieval hispánica. Uno de los procedimientos centrales en el proceso de composición de estas obras se basa en la selección de recursos estilísticos orientados a recrear una atmósfera de irrealidad. Partiendo, pues, de esta premisa, el objetivo de este estudio se centra en detectar tales elecciones estilísticas e interpretarlas con las herramientas y conocimientos que nos brinda la Filología. De entre el conjunto de recursos expresivos de que dispone la lengua castellana medieval, nos centraremos de modo especial en tres fenómeno…
The lai “Si bé, Fortuna, has dat lo torn”: a critical edition of the catalan poem from the novel Triste deleitación
2019
The Castilian novel Triste deleitación, written in the late fifteenth century by an author from the Crown of Aragon, includes several letters and poems. One of these poems, “Sy bé, Fortuna, as dat lo torn”, is written in Catalan. This article presents the poem’s annotated critical edition, which reports how it is indebted to the Catalan lyrical tradition. Written in an evolved form of the French lai cultivated by various Catalan poets, the poem is clearly influenced by Pere Torroella’s lai “Qui volrà veure un pobre estat”, and linked to two other similar lais also dependent on Torroella’s. This edition is completed by a translation into modern Catalan. La novel·la en castellà Triste deleita…
El final del bandoler : aproximació a la literatura de patíbul de la Corona d?Aragó
2017
Resum: Durant l’època moderna s’imprimiren nombrosos plecs de cordell relacionats amb el bandolerisme en els territoris de la Corona d’Aragó. Una part important d’aquests textos populars és el final que rep el protagonista de la història, què normalment solia acabar en el patíbul. Per eixa raó, el present article posa l’accent en un tema poc tractat fins al moment com són les execucions públiques en aquest tipus de relats literaris. En aquestes pàgines s’estudia, per una banda, el ritual punitiu que sofria el reu quan anava a ser executat: formes d’execució, turments, penes corporals o la intenció que tenien els pamflets que s’imprimien. Per altra, es comparen documents judicials amb els pl…
The Sickle and the Piano. A Distant Reading of Work in the Nineteenth Century Romanian Novel
2020
This article conducts a semantic search of The Digital Museum of the Romanian Novel: The 19th Century (MDRR), through which the authors attempt to identify the occurrences of several key concepts for class and labour imagery in the nineteenth-century Romanian novel, such as “muncă” [labour/work], “muncitor” [labourer/worker], “țăran” [peasant], “funcționar” [civil servant], alongside two main words that strikingly point out to a dissemblance of representation of work: “seceră” [sickle] and “pian” [piano]. The authors show that physical work is underrepresented in the Romanian novel between 1844 and 1900, and that novelists prefer to participate to the rise of the novel through representing …
Caccia alla volpe: nel labirinto della non fiction
2020
Con questo numero inauguriamo una nuova rubrica, Campo aperto, che ospiterà discussioni e polemiche su opere recenti e questioni controverse. Partiamo con un confronto che, incentrato su Max Fox o le relazioni pericolose di Sergio Luzzatto (2019), si dilata in ragionamento sul rapporto tra etica e letteratura e sulle caratteristiche della non fiction contemporanea.
