Macchina del fango e demonizzazione dell’avversario. Sulla nozione di diabole nella retorica greca.
2014
The topic of this paper is the rhetorical notion of diabole: a charge that attempts to cast the opponent in a negative light in order to create a negative prejudice in the audience. It is a rhetorical strategy similar to what is currently called a “character assassination” (in Italian “macchina del fango”), a strategy aimed at discrediting and vilifying the adversary using any means. Therefore, it is a phenomenon that involves the important question concerning the role of ethos in the persuasive process. The paper focuses on a particularly insidious aspect of diabole: its use as a form of counterattack. This means that diabole can be dangerous not only when it is used to discredit or vilify…
Lovecraft y la creación de atmósferas en el cine fantástico
2011
El escritor norteamericano H.P. Lovecraft, considerado como figura clave del género de terror, ha ejercido una enorme influencia en la cultura popular, fundamentalmente en la literatura y el cine. Este influjo es notorio en el cine fantástico, especialmente en la creación de personajes y ambientes perturbadores. Pese a que la adaptación de sus obras a la gran pantalla no ha sido convincente, películas de ciencia ficción como Alien y La cosa consiguieron impactar con su poderoso imaginario y rendirle tributo.

Efficient Implementation of Multiresolution Triangle Strips
2002
Triangle meshes are currently the most popular standard modelto represent polygonal surfaces. Drawing these meshes as a set of independent triangles involves sending a vast amount of information to the graphic engine. It has been shown that using drawing primitives, such as triangle fans or strips, dramatically reduces the amount of information. Multiresolution Triangle Strips (MTS) uses the connectivity information to represent a mesh as a set of multiresolution triangles strips. These strips are the basis of both the storage and rendering stages. They allow the efficient management of a wide range of levels of detail. In this paper, we have taken advantage of the coherence property betwee…

The Influence of the Avicennan Theory of Science on Philosophical Sufism
2020
Abstract This article discusses the application of the Avicennan theory of demonstrative science on taṣawwuf, or the Divine Science (al-ʿilm al-ilāhī), by members of the Akbarian tradition, particularly Ibn ʿArabī’s (d. 1240) stepson and most influential disciple, Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Qūnawī (d. 1274), and his commentators, among whom the most prominent was Mullā Muḥammad b. Ḥamza al-Fanārī (d. 1431). It aims to find out what kind of relationship was developed between Avicennan logic and Sufism by the two members of the Akbarian school in the post-classical Islamic thought. It also seeks to show that the convergence between different currents of Islamic thought—Sufism and philosophy in this case—…
Touring the magical North : Borealism and the indigenous Sámi in contemporary English-language children’s fantasy literature
2017
Discourses of exotic Lapland with its indigenous inhabitants, the Sámi, are widely circulated in the tourist industry and also surface in contemporary English-language children’s fantasy fiction. In contrast to the ‘self-orientalism’ of discourses of tourism, where places and people are represented as exotic to a tourist gaze, the portrayals of the North and its inhabitants gain different symbolic meanings in fictional texts produced by outsiders who rely on earlier texts – myths, fairy tales and anthropological accounts – rather than on their own lived experience of the North or indigeneity. This article applies the concept of Borealism to examine cross-cultural intertextuality and discou…
La oscura memoria: cine negro y brechas fantásticas en Enterrar a los muertos (2005) y Las serpientes ciegas (2008) [Una contraposición]
2021
La literatura en torno a la memoria es uno de los puntales de la narrativa hispánica reciente. Lo que este artículo pretende es adentrarse en una de sus áreas más inexploradas (las purgas estalinistas en España durante la Guerra Civil) a través del análisis y la confrontación de dos obras tan reconocidas como heterodoxas: la novela Enterrar a los muertos, de Ignacio Martínez de Pisón, y el cómic Las serpientes ciegas, de Felipe Hernández Cava y Bartolomé Seguí. La pasarela que comunica ambos textos es la estética de cine negro que ambienta el cómic y que –como intentaremos demostrar– modula la tensión de la novela. El final del camino lo marca el empleo de lo fantástico por parte de Cava y …
El artista como musa: la influencia de edgar A. Poe en el arte
2009

Gli amanti attraverso lo specchio
2009
Esegesi strutturale, stilistica ed ermeneutica dell'opera "Così fan tutte" di Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart su libretto di Lorenzo Daponte
Valentina Polcini, Dino Buzzati and Anglo-American Culture. The Re-use of Visual and Narrative Text in his Fantastic Fiction”, Forme, strategie e mut…
2016
Il volume di Polcini s’iscrive in questo nuovo interesse anglo-americano per lo scrittore italiano e intende rilanciare il dibattito internazionale su Buzzati. Un primo merito del volume infatti consiste nell’avere rintracciato, con dovizia di esempi e attraverso una puntuale analisi della copiosa produzione narrativa di Buzzati, il debito verso la tradizione anglosassone e americana – e per inciso anche quella del Nord Europa. Conrad, Rachkam, Dickens e Melville vengono riconosciuti i suoi grandi maestri. Strettamente intrecciato al primo è il secondo merito del volume. Come è evidente anche dalla fortuna anglosassone dell’autore, non è facile ignorare la componente visuale nell’opera di B…
