The 1946 Production of The Fairy Queen in Covent Garden: 'A Triumph of British Music and Stagecraft'?

2006

This article examines the sets designed by John Piper for eight of Benjamin Britten's operas in the context of England's artistic and political post-war reconstruction. Piper created backdrops that found their logical conclusion in his stained-glass windows. They provide a sense of continuity whilst reflecting fundamental contradictions.

Giuseppe Cocchiara, il fascismo e il razzismo

2021

In questo saggio viene ricostruito il rapporto tra Giuseppe Cocchiara e il fascismo. L’antropologo visse in pieno la sua formazione culturale all'interno del regime al quale aderì con convinzione e slancio, militando sempre nelle sue fazioni più radicali, condividendone fedelmente le scelte più tragiche come la guerra d’Etiopia, sottoscrivendo le leggi razziali, impegnandosi nella seconda guerra mondiale con le armi culturali dell’antisemitismo e della lotta senza tregua contro la democrazia. Così quando, come in un «mondo alla rovescia», sconfitto il fascismo sotto il peso di un’umiliante e sanguinosa disfatta, saranno proprio gli odiati inglesi a valorizzarne la statura intellettuale e la…

Register Variation in Electronic Business Correspondence

2011

Electronic correspondence is a highly dynamic genre within the business world in which Register Variation (RV) is frequently used as a tool to improve communication but it often can lead to misunderstanding. In order to shed some light on this still unexplored area, the present study firstly offers a practical approach to classify and analyse RV within professional communication. After this, it reviews previous studies on email writing to apply their findings to this approach and, in the third part of the study, a corpus of recent business emails in English is analysed to examine how the key parameters of RV are currently used within this genre. The results will show that, not only the cont…

Esercizi di traduzione in London, British Library, Harley 1002

2017

London, British Library, Harley 1002 è un codice miscellaneo il cui contenuto è descritto da David Thomson . Il manoscritto comprende, tra l’altro, ai ff. 31-81, un trattato di ortografia disposto in ordine alfabetico: nello spazio bianco rimasto tra le lettere R e S del testo sono stati copiati cinque gruppi di versi in inglese, seguiti dalla rispettiva versione in latino (ff. 72r-72v) . I versi appartengono a una categoria di strumenti didattici altrimenti documentata nei codici inglesi del XIV e XV sec., ma che, almeno nel caso dei primi due esercizi, è interpretata con libertà e messa in atto con una certa capacità. Sia il primo componimento, ‘Today in the dawnyng I hyrde þo fowles syng…

It has been concluded that with a strong focus on international publishing in indexed databases, the role of English in scientific communication in Latvia has an increasing tendency to grow. Although currently English…
