TEATRO MUSICAL Y PERSPECTIVA DE GÉNERO: LA OBRA SICALÍPTICA DE VICENTE LLEÓ DURANTE SU ETAPA EN EL TEATRO ESLAVA DE MADRID (1907-1912)
2020
A principios del siglo XX surgió un nuevo modelo de teatro bufo denominado género sicalíptico caracterizado por sus altas dosis de frivolidad y erotismo que hizo furor en la escena madrileña. Vicente Lleó Balbastre (1870-1922) fue el máximo exponente del género en el teatro musical. Bajo su dirección, como empresario y compositor, el Teatro Eslava se convirtió en el templo de la sicalipsis. En este artículo se estudia el nacimiento y eclosión del género, se recopilan todas las obras sicalípticas de Vicente Lleó en la época dorada de la sicalipsis en el teatro musical y se analizan las principales características de su estilo compositivo.
Atti e perversioni
2022
Il contributo intende tracciare una ricognizione generale della rappresentazione nel cinema italiano dal dopoguerra a oggi del rapporto che intercorre tra gli atti a sfondo erotico e le perversioni associate. Attraverso una serie di casi di studio, l'analisi cercherà di rendere conto delle principali direttrici che hanno segnato il cinema nazionale nella messa in scena del rapporto tra italiani e eros in una società in continua trasformazione
States of Exception: Auto-immunity and the Body Politic in Shakespeare’s Coriolanus
2010
The essay starts by referring to a central moment in Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, when the Roman hero reacts to his banishment by banishing: “I banish you!" (3.3.123). These lines, the essay argues, provide, in a condensed form, a radical shift of perspective on the question of the boundaries of Rome: how far does Rome extend? Can Rome banish herself ? Does Rome move with Coriolanus as he moves “elsewhere” (3. 3. 135)? They also force the audience to reconsider the "nature" of the political decision that leads to the ban. Taking its cue from this line, the essay shows that the question of boundaries in Coriolanus is intimately connected with the uncanny logic of "auto-immunity" which affects R…
«Un baciar furioso, un dispogliarsi»:Costanzo Festa and eroticism
2009
Nel saggio viene analizzato un madrigale di Costanzo Festa su testo poetico anonimo, a soggetto scopertamente erotico non schermato da ambientazioni pastorali o da metafore allusive. E' estremamente raro incontrare nle corpus madrigalesco intonazioni di testi di tale natura. Perciò la prima parte del saggio propone una circostanziata contestrualizzazione di tale madrigale, individuata nell'antripetrarchismo, e lo accosta alla raccolta di poesie erotiche di Aretino nota come "I modi". Nella seconda parte, il madrigale è analizzato dal punto di vista composiivo, evidenziando come la tematica erotica abbia spinto Festa ad inoltrarsi sul terreno dell'espressività, con singolare intensità.
Sappho, Hegel and Michael Field: Paradox and desire in lyric III
2021
This article offers a close reading of Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper’s lyric III in Long Ago, a Sapphic volume of verse published in 1889 under the collaborative nom de plume of Michael Field. This collection articulates a dramatic inquiry into the tragedy of unrequited love in a long cycle of lyrics whose third piece most effectively encapsulates the kernel of what the Fields reconstruct as Sappho’s ambivalent eroticism. The outcome of this reconstruction, as analysed in light of lyric III, is a consistent Hegelian view of desire that subsumes a complex system of tropes, myths, paradoxes and imaginative strategies under an overarching ideology of desire as a radical experience of appr…
Richard Francis Burton. Victorian Explorer and Translator
2012
This volume offers a critical insight into the life and work of the controversial Victorian explorer and translator Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890). Analysis focuses on his travel accounts and erotic translations, which both re-elaborated and challenged dominant Victorian discourses on race, gender and sexuality, generating controversies in the fields of anthropology, sexology and medicine. The premise of the study is that Burton entertained an ambiguous relationship with the colonial institutions: on the one hand, he pursued the colonial project, while on the other, he was an irreverent outsider who clashed with the imperial authorities. As this investigation reveals, he defied British …
Réécriture et reformulation des topiques descriptifs du ġazal homoérotique dans le Nasīm al-ṣabā (La brise du vent d’est) d’Ibn Ḥabīb al-Ḥalabī (m. 1…
2023
In his work entitled Nasīm al-ṣabā (The Breeze of the East Wind), Ibn Ḥabīb al-Ḥalabī (d. 1377) dedicates a chapter to the description of a young man (ġulām). This chapter is characterized by the presence of two parts which differ from a stylistic point of view. This paper deals with the central part of the chapter, which is entirely descriptive. The description of the ephebe in this central part shows great detail both descriptively (regarding the physical features of the ephebe) and thematically (regarding the topics used). In this part, the descriptive topics of the ephebe present in the classical homoerotic ġazal are transposed and reformulated in saǧ‘ (rhymed prose). A salient feature …
A primera sang: batalles nupcials en la Catalunya barroca. Els epitalamis al galant Alba de Francesc Fontanella
2017
Resum: A l’antiga Grecia i Roma els epitalamis actuaven com a preludi erotic de la nit nupcial. Claudia, a l’antiguitat tardana, va tractar el motiu del desflorament com a pugna amoris amb lasciu refinament. A partir del Quattrocento italia, l’Europa moderna va reprendre amb profusio aquesta tradicio laudatoria d’erotisme estilitzat amb cants consagrats a la unio de les families il·lustres. El poeta barroc Francesc Fontanella (1622-1682/83) va compondre quatre magnifics epitalamis dedicats a les noces d’un enigmatic personatge: el ‘galant Alba’. Diversos estudis han intentat, sense exit, desvelar-ne la identitat. En aquestes composicions, Fontanella va emprar un llenguatge refinat i metafor…
De la visión y el espanto : el tacto suspendido y la experiencia ante el límite
2017
En la pintura del pintor bogotano Epifanio Garay (1849-1903), “La mujer del Levita”, la fascinación y el espanto entran en escena. El acto representado da pie para formular un diálogo con lo que sugería Pascal Quignard cuando decía que para los romanos “el sexo estaba ligado al espanto”. A partir de esta premisa, las próximas páginas se proponen dialogar con todo aquello que para los antiguos prefiguraba la interdicción ante todo cadáver: “no tocar”. Sin embargo, se verá que todo se juega en el momento en que, en la escena de la pintura, el tacto se suspende y la prohibición es puesta en suspenso. La mirada del horror, la mirada tautológica, los ojos del éxtasis, son algunos de los canales …
Wstydliwy problem erotyzmu
2017
Usually we are ashamed to touch the issue of eroticism, although it is a ąuite natural one and, in fact, very close to us. It seems that roots of this shyness date back to the biblical paradise and to the original sin committed by the first people. Since the exile from paradise the erotic sphere is a kind of taboo that we are afraid to invade. Bataille measures wits with this problem very courageously, showing that eroticism played a key role in the pagan religions. With a help of eroticism it was possible to make a transgression (exceed ban), reach sacrum and thereby fully experience the existence. Then Christianity distanced to eroticism and, paradoxically, by associating it with unclean …
