Framing in Crisis. Literature and Optical Devices in the Age of Hoffmann
2016
This book analyzes the interplay of gazes, optical devices and images in literature. Following the developments of Visual Culture studies, literary theory has expanded its original field of investigation and addresses, beyond the traditional relationship between the verbal and the visual, the influence that gazes, optical devices and images can have on literary texts. This research tries to define the literary lives of the scopic regimes of modernity: the gazes of English early modern women's writing, the optical devices in German literature between Classicism and Romanticism, and the images of the mineral world in modern French aesthetics.
La vita e le strane sorprendenti avventure di Arturo. Per un confronto con Robinson Crusoe
2020
he life and strange surprising adventures of Arturo. Cues for a comparison with Robinson Crusoe · The article displays a comparative reading between L’isola di Arturo and Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, inspired by a statement made by Elsa Morante in a 1957 interview after the awarding of the ‘Strega’ prize. In the first place, the press coverage of the novel is studied with particular attention to confrontations with Robinson. Secondly, I aim to trace the steps of the possibility that Morante actually took into account Defoe’s novel. Afterward, a short, comparative study concerning a possible impact of Robinson on Arturo is proposed. The confrontation goes through several issues: narrative patter…
Louise Doutreligne’s Signé Pombo: a French dramatic transposition of the Manuel Vázquez Montalbán’s "Autobiografía del general Franco"
2014
Signé Pombo, también titulada Dans la peau de Franco es una creación dramática francesa de Louise Doutreligne libremente inspirada, como consta en la cubierta de la edición de Moi, Franco, título con el que se ha traducido en francés la Autobiografía imaginaria del General Franco de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán. En este artículo se estudian las transformaciones creativas a que ha sido sometida el relato de Vázquez Montalbán, atendiendo principalmente a las modificaciones cuantitativas, la reordenación de la materia y el paso de la polifonía narrativa a una polifonía escénica, planteándose si la autora ha procedido a cambios pensando en una recepción lectora o teatral francesa. Signé Pombo¸ inti…
Singing the News of Punishment
2021
Abstract This article explores the pan-European phenomenon of the execution ballad, songs that told the news of true crimes and their punishment by public execution. Looking at examples across nine languages, from the sixteenth through the nineteenth century, this comparison reveals that these ballads share multiple features in textual content and format: a recognisable, formulaic narrative; sensationalist and emotive language; and a conservative perspective that confirms that the condemned is guilty and that ‘justice’ is being served. We also note key regional differences, such as in the use (or not) of contrafactum, the setting of new lyrics to familiar melodies, in the use of the first v…
Con li suoi vestimenti asciugare il morto viso della salata acqua, e bagnarlo di molte lagrime: la "Fiammetta" en el "Leànder y Hero" de Roís de Core…
2005
The «Elegia di madonna Fiammetta» has an evident impact of the story of Leandre and Hero, especially in the moments in which the lady suffers while waiting for her lover, who never comes. Fiammetta makes obvious this parallelism on several occasions, and manages to invent an end for the story loaded of pathos. Joan Roís de Corella realises about this relationship between both two works and makes the inverse path: he uses the tone and some narrative elements of the Elegia for writing his Leander and Hero. It is demonstrated that the so contreversial end of Corella’s story is not original of the Valencian, but it also depends on Boccaccio’s text

Storiografie parallele. Cos'è la non-fiction?
2019
Il libro propone una teoria della categoria di narrativa non-finzionale nota come "non-fiction". Dopo una premessa storico-teorica si esamina la non-fiction in base alle forme e ai generi adoperati in questa categoria di scrittura, dopo di che si procede a un'analisi di temi e costanti concettuali condotta attraverso una lettura per campioni di testi degli ultimi trent'anni. Una breve considerazione su potenzialità e limiti discorsivi, commerciali, comunicativi della non-fiction italiana e straniera chiude il libro.
