A Chain of Voices: A "Masters and Slaves" Narrative
2022
Because no less than thirty different narrators take turns to tell us the story of a slave revolt, A Chain of Voices can be read as Brink's attempt at revisiting the classical "slave narrative", turning it into a polyphonic "masters and slaves" narrative in which everyone is given a say. This article examines how this polyphonic, and even multifocal, mode of narration enables Brink to write back to both classical slave narratives and to their twentieth-century counterparts, the neo-slave narratives. What it suggests is that although A Chain of Voices bears many resemblances to neo-slave narratives in terms of form, especially because of its recourse to polyphony, it is also extremely close …
Modeling Radicalization and Violent Extremism
2020
Given public anxiety about radicalization and violent extremism, it is not surprising that these topics have grabbed the attention of so many scholars in recent years. However, some have expressed concern over the fact that only a few studies in this relatively new field contain empirical data or systematic data analysis or develop causal models of the mechanisms generating these phenomena. We believe that computational modeling and simulation techniques can make a significant contribution to this scientific literature and eventually provide new tools for improving policy analysis. Here we briefly describe (1) an integrative theory of violent extremism proposed by Kruglanski and colleagues …

Living autobiographically: Concepts of aging and artistic expression in painting and modern dance.
2016
This article discusses the ways in which artists have incorporated or failed to incorporate the aging process of their bodies into their art. Using Russian ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov and the French painter Claude Monet as cases in point, we explore situations in which physical changes brought about by aging compromises artists' ability to engage with their artistic medium. Connecting Monet's oeuvre and Baryshnikov's dance performances to life writing accounts, we draw on John Paul Eakin's concept of "living autobiographically": In this vein, life writing research does not only have to take into account concepts of identity as they emerge from life writing narratives, but it also need…
Perdre le fil: labyrinthes de la littérature française moderne
2009
From the day when Theseus killed the Minotaur, the Maze turned into a form in search of meaning, and became useless. As a result, one was enjoined to ascribe nw meanings to the empty strcuture. Modern writers, when confronted with such a void, will have explored all its possibilities: while some of them, like Michel Butor, dismiss the sacred dimensions, others, like Serge Doubrovsky, see in it the image of the self (the body, the psyche...), and others still, like Raymond Roussel, Alain Robbe-Grillet or Georges Pererc, make of the pure geometrical structure of the labyrinth an aesthetic model, and thus a mirror of the work of art. However, one still have to ask whether the labrinth is a val…
La kalimera di Lazzaro: Varianti testuali siculo-arbëreshe
2018
This kalimera forms part of an ancient pagan rite of agricultural fertility, which due to syncretism is conserved in the paraliturgical practices still existing in the Arbëresh communities in southern Italy.Belonging to the cycle of commemoration of the dead, Lazarus’ Saturday is the second of the four Saturdays (the first is that of the carnival – in Alb. E shtuna e shpirtravet), during which participants sing the ballad of Constantine and Doruntina; the second Saturday, as mentioned, is that of the Resurrection of Lazarus, featuring liturgical hymns known as the hymns of the Holy Week; the third is the Saturday on the Easter’s Eve when the bells were untied; the fourth Saturday is that of…
Aspetti e momenti della formazione giovanile di Luigi Pirandello e di Giuseppe Schirò
2020
The newly retrieved correspondence between Pirandello and Schirò helps us reconstruct the relationship between the two young writers, both protagonists of a time rich in events. Of no less importance were their passionate love stories with two young women by the same name: Lina Pirandello. The first Lina was the cousin of the writer whereas the other the sister of the future playwright. The background was that of the Palermo of the liberty style at the end of the 19th century while the cultural context was dominated by the great and renowned Sicilian figures of the time. In the second part of the essay, the author considers the literary activity shared by the two young men. As to the early …
L’amore condiviso, l’Arte. Sulla formazione giovanile di Giuseppe Schirò e di Luigi Pirandello (1884-1890)
2021
The retrived epistolary of Pirandello and Schirò helps reconstruct the relationship between the two young writers, both protagonists of different and private love affairs. The backdrop against which their lives unfolded were the Classical College Vittorio Emanuele where they met; the Palermo of the Liberty style of the end of the 19th century and the cultural context dominated by reknowned and famous Sicilian intellectuals such as their professors Mario Villareale and Pier Giacinto Giozza, or the poets Mario Rapisardi and Eliodoro Lombardi, and other outstanding figures such as Giuseppe Pipitone Federico, Giuseppe Pitrè and Salvatore Salomone-Marino. This third part of the essay considers t…
El encuentro de Alejandro Magno con las Amazonas y sus fuentes
2014
El episodio del encuentro de Alejandro Magno con las Amazonas aparece en casi todas las fuentes del emperador macedonio, incluso en los autores que no le dan credibilidad. Este trabajo repasa el tratamiento del episodio en las mencionadas fuentes, entre las cuales no le dan credibilidad Plutarco, Arriano y Estrabón, frente a la llamada Vulgata de Alejandro procedente de Clitarco, que incluye el griego Diodoro de Sicilia y los latinos Curcio y Justino. También aparece el episodio en época posterior en el historiador cristiano Paulo Orosio, así como en la Novela de Alejandro del Pseudo-Calístenes y sus dos traducciones al latín de Julio Valerio y del arcipreste León de Nápoles, ya en la Edad …
