Des curés chez Bacchus : satire anticléricale et opposition politique chez Gustave Courbet (1863-1868)
2013
International audience; Dans les années 1860, parallèlement à sa virulente opposition au Second Empire, Gustave Courbet produit des tableaux, pamphlets et illustrations qui servent son combat anticlérical. En écho au Retour de la conférence, refusé pour immoralité au Salon de 1863 et au Salon des Refusés – l’œuvre montre un cortège de curés ivres –, le peintre publie en 1868 un opuscule, Les Curés en goguette, illustré de six dessins qu’il conçoit comme une extension de son tableau original et comme une intervention polémique, à caractère satirique, dans la tradition de la caricature anticléricale. Mais cette suite d’images, jusqu’alors peu étudiée, croise d’autres préoccupations de Courbet…
Ciudad ideal y ciudad real en el teatro de Calderón
2020
La ciudad en el teatro de Calderon se elabora segun procedimientos deicticos que se originan de dos perspectivas epistemologicas que connotan la Weltanschauung de autor constitutiva de su ‘Filosofia de la Historia’. La primera plantea una vision escatologica de toda la historia humana elaborada a partir de la Patristica hasta san Agustin ( De civitate Dei ). La segunda procede de la cultura humanistica renacentista que establece los preceptos del escenario en la base de la distincion de los generos dramaticos. Sin embargo, la poetica del autor a veces construye las dos perspectivas de forma dialectica, puesto que traza un esbozo de la ciudad que se muestra en su vigencia y en su evolucion. …

(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…
«Widrige Winde»: Der Abbruch der schonischen Expedition aus der Sicht des preußischen Gesandten, des Freiherrn Friedrich Ernst von Cnyphausen
2017
There are two interpretations of Peter the Great’s motives for refusing to land on the Swedish island of Schonen in historiography: that the tsar feared unforeseen military risks and that he did not trust his allies, Denmark and Great Britain. In this article, the author attempts to analyse in a more detailed way the reasons and consequences for the mistrust in the Northern Alliance by looking at communications by Baron Friedrich Ernst von Cnyphausen, the Prussian ambassador in Copenhagen. It is shown that the Russophobic hysteria which grasped the Danish royal court in September 1716 looks completely irrational when we consider parallel attitudes in the Prussian court. Cnyphausen does not …
A prequel to Nollywood: South African photo novels and their pan-African consumption in the late 1960s
2010
This article interrogates the history of the photo novel in Africa with particular reference to African Film, a magazine of almost pan-African circulation, published between 1968 and 1972 in South Africa. Featuring the adventures of Lance Spearman, an African crime fighter, the magazine was read widely across Anglophone Africa, from Nigeria and Ghana to South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. After a brief introduction to the history of the photo novel, the author discusses the production, content, reception, and legacy of the Lance Spearman photo novels. It is argued that Lance Spearman may be understood as a crossover of James Bond and Philip Marlowe, and several influences from…

Trame e genealogie dell’ironia ariostesca
2014
AbstractQuesto saggio traccia una genealogia dell’interpretazione ironica del Furioso, risalendo alla molteplicita delle sue sorgenti, e al tempo stesso analizza la trama delle diverse accezioni dell’ironia, prendendo in considerazione il ruolo attivo della ricezione ma senza rinunciare a osservare i meccanismi in gioco direttamente nel testo ariostesco. Si delinea cosi un quadro frastagliato, in cui domina l’asse romantico-idealistico che, tra Hegel e Croce, ha per cosi dire ufficializzato l’interpretazione ironica. Ma emergono anche una serie di varianti e correzioni del paradigma romantico: l’ironia come citazione, instaurata dal postmoderno ma non priva di appigli nella tradizione antic…
