Andrei Șerban: The Search for ‘New Forms’

2021

This chapter discusses the theatre of Andrei Șerban, definitely one of the most important theatre directors of the second half of the twentieth century. He began directing in Communist Romania in the 1960s and had to deal with censorship, so in order to avoid this uncomfortable context, he focused on interpreting the text—he constantly searched for new nuances and made use of all possible subtexts. These are the premises of his work and when he moved to the USA, he continued this artistic strategy. Throughout his career, Andrei Șerban has been passionate about staging The Seagull (five times), as he is constantly looking for new forms, just like Chekhov’s character Treplev. A special accent…

Nuovi spunti su Benedetto Bacchini e il paratesto editoriale

2021

Three centuries after the death of the Benedictine abbot Benedetto Bacchini (1645-1721), the publication of the proceedings of an important conference dedicated to him has made it possible to reconsider his figure as a religious and intellectual of European rank. Among the aspects worthy of renewed attention, the significant role of the paratextual apparatus emerged, as a privileged area for expressing in deep the historical thought and vision proposed by Bacchini. The editorial paratexts of some of Bacchini’s works that were entrusted to the printing houses without the intervention of the author, edited by scholars who had great esteem and / or had been very close to him, also offer releva…

Geopolitical aspects of prudery, or Stalin as the breeches maker: political censorship and puritan censorship in the USSR

2015

Due leggi recentemente discusse al parlamento russo, tese a punire le oscenità anche nelle opere letterarie e l'uso “ingiustificato” di parole straniere, sono un'occasione per indagare il rapporto tra censura politica e censura moralistica, di cui è ben nota l'importanza nel periodo stalinista e poststalinista, ma il cui legame è stato raramente considerato.Se per quanto riguarda la censura politica non resta molto da scoprire, lo straordinario moralismo del regime sovietico a partire dagli anni Trenta contiene elementi di contraddizione tanto con tensioni verso la liberazione dei costumi presenti nel discorso bolscevico del periodo precedente quanto con la retorica dell'”uomo nuovo” che si…

The satirical press and the struggle for cultural hegemony in Spain: a case study on <em>La Traca</em>, 1884-1938

2019

La Traca was a weekly magazine published in Valencia between 1884 and 1892 and between 1909 and 1938, with periods during which it was not published because of governmental censorship. Because it was written in Valencian, the vernacular language of where it was published, it did not go beyond being a magazine of local, or at most regional, interest, circulation and importance. However, its editor, Vicente Miguel Carceller, made the decision in 1931 to edit the magazine in Spanish and he thus conquered the country’s market, resulting in circulation figures that no other publication had ever reached. La Traca was the most loved and hated of all satirical publications. This article explores it…

(Re)negotiating Freedom of Expression in the Spanish Transition: The Case of El Papus (1973-1987)

2020

Juxtaposing documents from judicial and administrative archives with material published in the satirical magazine El Papus (1973-1987), this essay examines the confrontation between national-Catholic discourse and new modes of visual and textual expression in late Francoism and the early years of the democratic transition in Spain. The present study represents a survey of some 44 state-produced documents and 124 journalistic pieces, applying a two-pronged methodology rooted in discourse analysis with a special focus on the content and themes deemed unfit for publication in the pages of El Papus. The results will show that a loosening of erotic and sexual mores, particularly those related to…
