The Famished Road: Ben Okri's Family Romance?
2013
International audience; This article suggests that by breaking the cycle of the abiku in The Famished Road, Okri inserts Azaro into a lineage that turns him into a storyteller. It explores the nature of parent-child relationships in the novel from this perspective, using the concept of family romance to show how the association of family with storytelling reverberates in Okri’s writing.
Shame and Desire: A Reading of Gozzano’s La Signorina Felicita
2012
La lettura del poemetto La signorina Felicita studia il nesso tra vergogna e desiderio come accesso privilegiato alla poesia di Gozzano, se non in generale alla cultura poetica del primo Novecento. L’analisi dei suoi nuclei tematici (il personaggio di Felicita, Villa Amarena e gli oggetti che la popolano, il ‘coro borghese’ che condivide questo spazio con i due protagonisti) e della sua genealogia letteraria (Jammes e Nerval in particolare), condotta in una prospettiva formale e psicanalitica, conduce a identificare le condizioni di coesistenza tra vergogna e desiderio, e il ruolo che gioca la forma poetica come sostituto dell’Oggetto.
Utopian Formats: Simon Morley’s “Lost Horizon”
2021
International audience; In “Lost Horizon”, a 2014 ekphrasis, Simon Morley summons up not just one artpiece but several that have all in common to deal with utopia: a fifteenth century traditional Korean handscroll painting by artist Ahn Gyeon entitled A Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Paradise (1447); René Daumal’s uncompleted surrealist novel Mount Analogue: A Novel of Symbolically Authentic Non-Euclidean Adventures in Mountain Climbing (1952); James Hilton’s best-selling novel Lost Horizon (1932) and its Hollywood black and white adaptation by Frank Capra (1938), not to mention philosophical texts by Proudhon or Thomas More.Splicing together Western and Eastern traditions, high and pop…

The Hangman's Game: Karen King-Aribisala's "diary of creation"
2008
The structure of King Aribisala's multi-layered novel "The Hangman's Game" is complex: each narrative thread reverberates onto the other, creating an intricate network of (sometimes distorting) mirrors, suggesting an interconnectedness between past and present, reality and fiction, living and writing. This paper endeavours to explore this complex relationship and to demonstrate how the protean phenomenon of resurgence informs "The Hangman's Game".
The trees in the middle of Paradise (Gn 2:9) during the Great Lent: Orthodox hymnography as biblical interpretation
2022
The article examines the interpretation of the Scripture in Byzantine hymnography during the Great Lent. Some notable recent contributions focus on Andrew of Crete’s and Romanos the Melodist’s compositions, illustrating the hymnographic way of understanding the Scriptures. The author of this study presents a selection of stanzas from hymns of the Triodion that refer to the trees of Paradise. Hymnography perceives the trees in Genesis 2–3 in direct connection with the cross. Only rarely is the tree of life a metaphor for Jesus, as the shadow of the tree of the cross is seldom a metaphor for protection. Another interesting aspect in relation to hymnography is the fact that it represents a typ…
Dagens Rødhette i en flerkulturell kontekst – mulighet for en ny identitet?
2013
The starting point for this article is the tendency in recent Norwegian children’s and Ya fiction to thematize cultural encounters in an increasingly multicultural and globalized world. The picturebook Little Miss Eye Flap ( Skylappjenta , 2009) written by the Pakistani-Norwegian author and actor Iram Haq and illustrated by Endre Skandfer, presents a modern version of traditional folktales such as Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel . However, the traditional structure of home – away – home gives particular emphasis to the phase of homelessness, not providing any safe return to harmony. This condition of liminal space between cultures is discussed in light of the concepts of reflexive ident…

Suitable for Western Audiences: UNESCO and the Self-fulfilling Prophecy of Cinematic Cultural Diplomacy
2020
Through a reading of cinematic cultural diplomacy in the post-World War II UNESCO context, this study focuses on the potential cinema holds for speaking to the politics of difference. Traditionally seen as problematic and conflictual, this study suggests that for UNESCO, difference is not the source of war and conflict, but of peace. It provides an analysis of Orient: A Survey of Films Produced in Countries of Arab and Asian Culture, a 1959 film catalogue published by UNESCO and the British Film Institute with the aim to “stimulate the presentation of films which might give audiences in the West a fuller and more informed idea of the ways of life of Eastern peoples”. This study treats the c…
