Will they, won’t they? Dream sequences and virtual consummation in the series Moonlighting
2021
The 1980s series Moonlighting was one of the first dramedies on the small screen; it took its cue from venerable genres like the screwball comedy or the hard-boiled novel (particularly The Thin Man) and translated them to television’s changing structures and aesthetics, participating in what has been termed the second Golden Age of television. However, the Nick and Norah Charles of Moonlighting, David and Maddie, were not married: on the contrary, the series was largely fuelled by the tension between the two leads, who were constantly sparring but were seemingly drawn to one another. Though this romantic tension has long been a staple of the silver screen, translating it into weekly episode…
La cattedrale di Troina: prima sperimentazione architettonica Normanna in Sicilia
2019
International audience; At the time of the conquest of Sicily, ruled by Arabs for two centuries, Roger de Hauteville placed in Troina his first capital (1062), made the town becoming episcopal see. For this purpose, he founded in the town a cathedral church, too. However, the original aspect of the building changed deeply because of earthquakes: collapse and significant alterations occurred between the 15th and 18th centuries, causing the current architectural form. In this paper, thanks to the study of sources, the direct analysis of the building and the interpretation of the new acquired informations, some aspects of building's architectural history are clarified; in addition, a new hypot…
Dal kētos al sēnmurv? Mutazioni iconografiche e transizioni simboliche del kētos dall’Antichità al Medioevo (secolo XIII)
2016
Using literary and iconographic sources the paper discusses the image of kētos from Antiquity to Middle Ages. The kētos, according with Greek literature, was used in the myths of both Perseus and Andromeda and Heracles and Hesione. The archaic images of the sea-monster are identifiable on Corinthian vases, on which we have only heads of leonine form. From 5th century the classical type of kētos is distinguished from all other Greek sea-monsters by a long neck, fins (also like wings), long muzzle and corrugated upper surface (like a crocodile), and leonine forelegs. Separated from histories of Andromeda and Hesione, the kētos is represented as a mount of marine gods and, especially, Nereides…
Mind the Gap: The Big House in Cinematic Representations of the Anglo-Irish War
2018
It goes without saying that the Big House was intended to be a symbol: as more than one critic has remarked, these houses really were only “big” in comparison to the poverty of the lesser structures that surrounded them. They were to be a bastion for British and Anglo-Irish culture and a center for social and administrative interactions. In this sense, they straddled the gap between the towns of Dublin and London, whence their power came, and the villages to whom they administered: it is no coincidence that these garrisons of British power bore the brunt of Republican anger during the Troubles of 1919-1921. Examining two of the rare films to focus on the War of Independence from the perspec…
