Folktales and Other References in Toriyama's Dragon Ball

2014

The aim of this article is to show the relationship between Japanese folktales and Japanese anime as a genre, especially how the intertextuality with traditional tales and myth subvert its conventional use. To meet this goal, the author examines Toriyama’s successful Dragon Ball series, which has enjoyed continued popularity right from its first publication in the 1980s. The article analyses the parallelism between Dragon Ball and a classic Chinese novel, Journey to the West, its main source. However, there are many other references present in Dragon Ball that are connected to religion and folktales. The author illustrates this relationship with examples taken from the anime that correspond…

Le dialogue de la musique et de la langue dans « Moderato cantabile » de Marguerite Duras

2014

Music in Duras’s works – analysed primarily in terms of intertextuality – is an element that creates the structure and sets the pace of the text. It provides an excuse to present feelings and thoughts of the characters, their hidden desires and yearnings. Music soothes the pain of parting, lets listeners forget about their problems, and brings forward true passions that cannot be put into words.  Duras’s fondness of music is manifested by her attitude to reality and her vision of love. A piece of music with its depth and richness in a way reflects the inner self of the author.

What is meant by hybridity? An investigation of hybridity and related terms in genre studies

2014

AbstractThis article is an investigation and a discussion of hybridity and related terms as used in linguistic studies of genre. The theoretical points that are made are illustrated with data from empirical research done by others and with the authors’ own data.

Sulle tracce di Ovidio epico? Contese tra padri e figli in Ps. Quint. decl. 258

2018

In the Minor Declamation 258 it is possible to notice some echoes of the Armorum iudicium of Ov. met. xiii 1-383, an episode whose success in Greece and Rome dates back to the Cyclic poems. Porcius Latro, the famous rhetorician and teacher of Ovid, chose this subject for one of his declamations and provided his pupil with a model: in fact, as showed by Sen. contr. ii 2, 8, the poet borrowed from the rhetor some literal expressions. We can also remember Sen. contr. x and Calp. decl. 21, two of the most important texts where the motifs of family disputes and reward for viri fortes are re-elaborated, in different ages. Therefore, the Minor declamation 258 is one of these interesting adaptation…

Pauline E. Hopkins's Intertextual Aesthetics in Contending Forces

2017

Pauline E. Hopkins‘s attitude towards fiction as a terrain where political and social truths could be uttered, helped her establish a new hybrid writing paradigm in Contending Forces, her historical romance. The extraordinary intertextual load of references, verbatim borrowings and changed citations, her Emersonian ―noble borrowing,‖ is in fact both an audacious maneuvering of popular literature, and a systematic and subversive redrafting of preceding canonical texts from the Anglo-American literary traditions and of contemporary historical political testimonies. Hopkins‘s palimpsestic aesthetics recreate a sense of African American literary interventions aimed at recomposing a new black ar…

Pan deus Arcadiae (Verg. ecl. 10, 26). Pan, l'aition, l'eurema (Tra Virgilio bucolico ed Ovidio epico)

2020

Between Verg. ecl. 2, 31-38 and Ov. met. 1, 689-715 it is possible to reconstruct an interesting intertextual dialogue based on the two faces of Pan’s sexuality, now inclined to pederotic relationships, now attracted by nymphs in antithesis to hellenistic poetry which, especially in the pastoral context, makes him an ambivalent divinity. In particular, the εὕρημα of the panpipe and its αἴτιον lend themselves to reconstruct the image of a god whose lustis constantly solicited from the outside: in this sense, a long poetic tradition, included between the Greek-archaic epos, the pseudo-homeric hymnography, the hellenistic epigram and thetheocritean production contribute to the redefinition of …
