The Procedural Approach to Texts
2016
The intention of this chapter is to show the peculiarities of the point of view of Dressler and de Beaugrande, expressed in their work. The position taken by the two authors in their Introduction is a veiled criticism against van Dijk and Petőfi, which are accused of excessive rigour. Dressler and de Beaugrande’s procedural approach avoids the use of logical bases and they propose a point of view closer to cognitive science. According to Dressler and de Beaugrande, the heart of the procedural approach is semantics. In their view, knowledge and meaning are sensitive to the situation in which they are used. So, the two authors believe that framing the texts and the knowledge about the real wo…
Scrittura giornalistica e impegno antimafia. Soluzioni testuali e scelte linguistiche in Mario Francese e Giuseppe Fava
2022
Gli studi sulle organizzazioni mafiose sono stati condotti, in molti casi, con una finalità non soltanto conoscitiva, ma anche di contrasto del fenomeno. In particolare, alla cosiddetta “antimafia” sono stati dedicati saggi specifici, tra i quali segnaliamo, per la ricchezza dei materiali e la profondità dell’analisi, la Storia del movimento antimafia di Umberto Santino (2009). Se pochi sono gli studi linguistici sulla lingua della mafia, praticamente nulli sono quelli sulla lingua dell’antimafia. La domanda da porsi, in effetti, è se davvero esista una lingua dell’antimafia, dotata dunque di tratti linguistici e testuali individuabili e peculiari. Per rispondere a questa domanda, in questo…
Fantasme et représentation dans l'oeuvre d'Alain Robbe-Grillet
2013
The aim of this Thesis is to examine and interpret the two main notions of Robbe-Grillet’s overall work which are “Fantasy” and “Representation”. This will mainly be demonstrated by the different relationships that are developing between the two concepts and the way they edify the work of the Nouveau Romancier. The fashion in which Robbe-Grillet characterizes fantasy will be the central argument of this Thesis Dissertation, but we will also discuss the idea of representation through the motive of theatre. In fact, the characters of Robbe-Grillet’s movies and books keep on playing stereotypical roles (a spy, a prostitute, a sadist doctor etc…) and the places represented at the beginning of t…

Paratextual Prometheus. Digital Paratexts on YouTube, Vimeo and Prometheus Transmedia Campaign
2015
The object of this article is to map correspondences between the literacy of books and the literacy of online video platforms, in order to create common ground between both media and assist transmedia storytellers in the task of exploring video platforms with in-depth knowledge of each textual element surrounding video content. The article proposes a comprehensive categorization and typification of surrounding information in the standard video pages of YouTube and Vimeo, using Gerard Genette’s theory of paratexts as a basic framework. The analysis found that the interplay between paratextual elements, the audience feedback and the absence of endorsement from authors to paratexts created by …

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…
