Les formes de la memòria en l'obra autobiogràfica de Josep Piera: entre El cingle verd i La puta postguerra
2011
L’obra narrativa de Josep Piera es basteix sobre la recreació de la memòria personal. La publicació del dietari El cingle verd (1982) suposa un punt d’inflexió en la trajectòria del poeta valencià i representa l’inici d’una nova etapa creativa on el record i l’experiència autobiogràfica esdevenen l’essència del seu univers literari. El propòsit del nostre article és posar de relleu l’absoluta llibertat amb què vehicula la matèria dels seus records i analitzar de quina manera discorre dins dels diferents gèneres de l’escriptura autobiogràfica: des de l’escriptura del present que podem reconéixer tant en el dietari com en El temps feliç (2001) fins arribar a la narració retrospectiva de les m…
Irony in Thomas De Quincey's works
2014
Studying the works of De Quincey necessarily leads to three concepts almost impossible to define: autobiography, Romanticism, and all-too neglected irony. Whether rhetorical, tragic or “romantic”, irony expresses perfectly the many contradictions of the opium-eater. As the rhetorical tool of conflict and self-derision, claiming both individualistic and community values, sociable and provoking, irony is the way to redemption as much as the expression of deep unease, a way of pushing himself forward, or of withdrawing into the background. Caught between Romanticism and Victorianism, De Quincey questions the limits of his own identity and his status as an intellectual, and exploits reluctantly…
Se i marciapiedi di questa strada potessero parlare’: Space and Identity in Three Italian American Autobiographies
1999
Między spotkaniem a mijaniem. Rahel Varnhagen, Hannah Arendt, Judith Butler
2020
The article is an attempt at capturing the relationship between the lives and creative attitudes of Rahel Varnhagen, Hannah Arendt and Judith Butler. Starting with Varnhagen’s biography written by Arendt, the essay’s author wonders about the philosopher’s writing strategy. Instead of a classic reconstruction of life, the biographer offers a collage of excerpts from Rahel’s letters with extensive commentary. This form encourages one to read Rahel Varnhagen as a narration about the author and her own struggle with Jewish and female identity. The second relationship analysed in the essay is the impact of Hannah Arendt’s texts on Judith Butler’s writings. Despite the criticism of the philosophe…

Tre recenti biografie di Ranke
2018
Three newly issued biographies deal with the life of Leopold von Ranke in very different ways. The essay underlines the strengths and the weaknesses of each one of them and raises some questions about the meaning of this scholarly interest in Ranke. Finally, it provides some considerations on the difficulty of defining, even now, the figure of the German historian.
De l’effet transformatif de l’imaginaire :
2019
The polymorphic concept of the novel and the intertextuality of the literary genres characterize the work of Georges Perec, whose writing looks into different genres, codes and models and combines them in order to preserve the singularity of each of his works. Among these W ou le souvenir d’enfance, an unclassifiable novel that alternates fiction and childhood memories, has been the result of a very difficult writing process, that genetic documents can only partly clear up. We propose to reflect on the process of re-functionalization of the adventure novel W, which appeared before as a serialized text in the journal La Quinzaine littéraire and was then integrated into the great autobiograph…

Trade apprenticeships, schooling and social differentiation in the merchant sector in fourteenth century Valencia
2020
El crecimiento económico de Valencia desde finales del siglo XIV implicó el cambio en la formación profesional y cultural de las élites mercantiles locales. La familia continuó siendo el ámbito de enseñanza escrituraria preferente dado que el objetivo último de esa formación era la transmisión hereditaria intergeneracional de la empresa. La formación abarcaba buena parte de la infancia y pubertad hasta que el joven pasaba a trabajar como contable o factor en el extranjero bajo las órdenes paternas. Este modelo de aprendizaje dependía de los vínculos que cohesionaban las redes de sociabilidad mercantil, compartía superficialmente los instrumentos formales de la contratación del aprendizaje a…
