I — Theatricality Introduction: Theatricality: A Key Concept in Theatre and Cultural Studies
1995
At the Theatre Historiography Symposium, held during the 1993 Helsinki IFTR/FIRT Conference, a specific term came into circulation which infiltrated and permeated the discussion to such an extent that it appeared to adopt the position and function of a key term in theatre historiography: ‘theatricality’. This was no great surprise, however. For the symposium set out to consider two basic issues: first, to examine the application of analytic strategies from other disciplines to theatre history and, secondly, to identify the distinctive features of theatre history as a single discipline. Both concerns are closely related to the concept of theatricality.
THE PAINTED CEILING OF THE NAVE OF THE CAPPELLA PALATINA IN PALERMO: AN ESSAY ON ITS GEOMETRIC AND CONSTRUCTIVE FEATURES
2010
Il testo illustra gli esiti di una ricerca sulle matrici geometriche e costruttive del soffitto il legno che copre la navata centrale della Cappella Palatina di Palermo. L’opera, già oggetto di approfonditi studi relativi ai temi iconografici delle pitture che la decorano, viene indagata tramite un accurato rilievo condotto con tecniche laser scanning al fine di risalire alle matrici geometriche del progetto; tale indagine viene condotta tenendo in adeguata considerazione la struttura tridimensionale del manufatto, basata sulla tecnica dei muqarnas. Al termine dello studio viene definita una ipotesi che evidenzia una stretta correlazione fra il tracciato regolatore che ne definisce l’impian…
The Peace Treaty of Fredrikshamn and its Aftermath in Sweden and Finland
2010
This article analyses the Peace Treaty of Fredrikshamn (Hamina in Finnish) and its consequences in Sweden and Finland. The Russians set strict preconditions for the commencement of peace negotiations with the Swedes in the summer of 1809. These conditions were realized almost <em>in toto</em> in the final peace treaty, which consisted of just twenty-one articles. In addition to regulations directly related to the ending of hostilities, the main provisions of the agreement entailed huge territorial losses for Sweden, strictly defining the regions it was to cede to Russia, the most important of which was Finland. Sweden was also enjoined to give up its alliance with Britain and to…
LA FÍSICA TEÓRICA BAJO EL FOCO DE LO FANTÁSTICO: UNA REFLEXIÓN SOBRE LO REAL Y SUS FRACTURAS EN EL DISCURSO CIENTÍFICO
2018
Quite often fantastic literature has been studied using ideas from theoretical physics in order to verify how the development of the latter modifies the reader's perception of the former. Instead, this article proposes the opposite: this article will explore theoretical physics using the ideas from the fantastic. The core principle here is that both reflect on the reality and fracture it, changing the reader's reality paradigm. While physics changes it from reality, using to it the principles of the mathematics, the fantastic does this using (and fracturing) a fictional space.
Limitations of Cross-Cultural Customer Satisfaction Research and Recommending Alternative Methods
2004
SUMMARY Cross-cultural research in tourism is receiving increasing attention from academics. Little, however, has been done with regard to the assessment of cultural differences in tourist satisfaction. Research in tourism marketing has recognized the need for further research in cross-cultural satisfaction research, and specifically, in equivalence issues regarding the measurement of tourist satisfaction. Consequently, the aim of this conceptual paper is to focus attention on the importance of exploring cross-cultural differences in customer satisfaction research. The principal contributions are three-fold: (1) to emphasize the significance of exploring cross-cultural differences while att…
Aesthetics and “transcultural” turn
2015
What does “trancultural turn” exactly means and which is its relationship with aesthetics? Culture has never been as important as it is today, so it is now more than ever crucial to reflect on its current expressions and transformations. In this sense it is useful to examine the perspective of cultural studies. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of the “cultural turn” on aesthetics highlighting positive and negative aspects of the relationship between aesthetics and cultural studies. In spite of many criticisms it has received (eclecticism, lack of scientific rigor, methodological unreliability and so on…), it is crucial to accept the challenge coming from cultural studies …
Propaganda y mitografía en el cine nacional
2009
Denominar propaganda a secas a este titánico esfuerzo de vertebración de las masas en torno a una tradición ideológica, de sutura de las heridas abiertas entre las distintas facciones del régimen, de constrncción ceremonial de un ritual sagrado entre el líder, su masa y su credo, sería esquivar el problema. Otra cuestión es preguntarse por las razones del fracaso, al menos parcial, de estas tentativas totalitarias y de esta operación mitográfica.
La españolada en el cine
2013
El punto ciego entre las lecturas partidarias o detractoras de la españolada se explica por la superposición de dos corrientes culturales: la asimilación de las visiones foráneas sobre España durante el siglo XIX que buscaban exotismo (la espagnolade en la corte de Eugenia de Montijo, las pinturas de Édouard Manet o la Carmen de Mérimée y Bizet y la de los defensores del género como expresión genuina del folclore nacional. Nuestra propuesta, sin embargo, quiere distanciarse de estos planteamientos esencialistas para pensar la españolada explicándola como un producto de las transformaciones de la modernidad en la sociedad española desde finales del siglo XIX y que encontrará su cristalizació…

Chanson, copla et star cinématographique : vers une iconographie nationale de la femme espagnole
2001
En somme, ainsi que nous 1' avons esquissé dans ces pages, l'identité en question, que ce soit celle de la femme, de la nation o u du genre, m eme si elle est proposée dans un cadre transnational, comme e' est le cas des films de l'Hispano-Film-Produktion, est avant tout un probleme d'iconographie dans lequelles réseaux des traditions spectaculaires, plastiques et littéraires se croisent et désignent tous un corps privilégié, celui de la star, c'est-a-dire, celui de la femme.
