Goethes „Weltliteratur“: Begriff oder Diskurs?
2018
Based on Birus’ suggestion to understand Goethe as an “initiator of discursive practices”, the present study reconsiders the Goethean comments on World Literature (“Weltliteratur”) not in terms of a concept but rather in terms of a discourse. The initial point is the observation that Goethe’s comments on World literature share in two different notions of culture relevant at the time, namely culture as a technique of comparison that implies a competent and sober handling of cultural difference, as well as culture as ultimate foundation of a group that allows for enthusiastic reference on a community. By operating a combination of competence for comparison and enthusiasm, without however ref…
Tea Rooms. Mujeres obreras: Una novela de avanzada de Luisa Carnés
2019
Tea Rooms. Mujeres obreras (1934) es una novela escrita por una mujer de origen obrero que quiere ser lectura para las mujeres trabajadoras. En ella Luisa Carnés, escritora largo tiempo postergada, tal vez por su condición de mujer y el compromiso militante de su producción literaria, retrata de soslayo la sociedad de la II República, pero sobre todo representa y problematiza la doble explotación de las mujeres, jugando con repeticiones, metáforas, imágenes e innovaciones estéticas, en un tono vanguardista, pero desde un lenguaje directo y claro de denuncia. Nos proponemos estudiar la función de los mecanismos literarios y la poética de esta novela, en la que la sencillez y los elementos va…
Ethnography and ancient history
2012
Romanticism is the starting point of modern scientific historiography in the field of Greek ethnography. Muller, steeped in the intellectual climate of his time, wrote of the “spiritual nature of a people,” in reference to the Dorians, and attempted an approach to the literary sources that in certain respects foreshadowed the positivist school. Keywords: cultural history; ethnicity; exploration; race and ethnicity
O obrzędowym charakterze cyklu "Dziadów" Adama Mickiewicza raz jeszcze
2013
The publication presented in the review is an interesting and much-needed research proposal, which combines the discourse of a philologist, an ethnographer, and a cultural anthropologist. This approach is innovative in the literary studies research on this Polish master dramatist; it constitutes a valuable source not only for literary commentators of Mickiewicz’s series but also for Belorussian folklore scholars, or for those investigating the merging of Polish and Belorussian culture. It makes us realize that, among others, by means of his drama, the poet introduced the Belorussian rite of dziady – a pagan festival in honour of ancestral spirits – into Polish culture. The rite is, for the …

Due volti della notte. Su Arthur Schopenhauer e Richard Wagner
2016
Il saggio prende le mosse dalla concezione dell'arte espressa da Arthur Schopenhauer nel "Mondo come volontà e rappresentazione" (1818; IIa ed. 1844), soffermandosi in maniera particolare sul Capitolo 52 e sull'idea di un'interpretazione metafisica della musica. Tale ipotesi viene messa in rapporto con l'esperienza compositiva di Richard Wagner a partire dalla concezione del "Ring des Nibelungen" e con particolare riferimento al linguaggio armonico di "Tristan und isolde". In nota viene riportato il frammento di una lettera di Richard Wagner ad Arthur Schopenhauer, databile intorno al 1857.
