Tre recenti biografie di Ranke

Three newly issued biographies deal with the life of Leopold von Ranke in very different ways. The essay underlines the strengths and the weaknesses of each one of them and raises some questions about the meaning of this scholarly interest in Ranke.

Trade apprenticeships, schooling and social differentiation in the merchant sector in fourteenth century Valencia

2020

El crecimiento económico de Valencia desde finales del siglo XIV implicó el cambio en la formación profesional y cultural de las élites mercantiles locales. La familia continuó siendo el ámbito de enseñanza escrituraria preferente dado que el objetivo último de esa formación era la transmisión hereditaria intergeneracional de la empresa. La formación abarcaba buena parte de la infancia y pubertad hasta que el joven pasaba a trabajar como contable o factor en el extranjero bajo las órdenes paternas. Este modelo de aprendizaje dependía de los vínculos que cohesionaban las redes de sociabilidad mercantil, compartía superficialmente los instrumentos formales de la contratación del aprendizaje a…

Śródziemnomorskie kody polskości w twórczości Jana Parandowskiego

2020

One is used to regarding Jan Parandowski (1895–1978) as a great connoisseur of the ancient world and a kind of “Olympic” writer with a distance to his own time and space. A thorough exam-ination of his literary essays, short stories and novels hardly proves this opinion. Treating Polish his-tory and culture, especially of the Renaissance epoch, as originating from and inspired by the ancient Roman/Greek tradition (“Poland is situated in the Mediterranean”), he conceals at the same time an evidently emotional approach to national legacy. There are several modes in which he evokes unique Polish history in the 19th century, with the great but problematic heritage of Romanticism as well as the …

Translation als Mythos

2020

Abstract This paper investigates the reception history of the Danish Poet and fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen in 19th-century Germany and its influence on his (auto)biographical depiction. Like many Scandinavian poets, Andersen discovered Germany’s literary potential and took advantage of it to further his career. In most cases, he was pictured as a genius who suffered systematic underestimation in Denmark. This narrative which determined his reception plays a central role in his German autobiography Märchen meines Lebens (Fairy Tale of my Life). Analyzing Andersen’s autobiographical discourse, I will reconstruct the process of the construction of Andersen’s (auto)biographical myth…

Clarice Lispector, Agua Viva: Autobiography, Exile, Violence

2019

Abstract Considered “the great witch of Brazilian literature”, acclaimed as the best woman-writer of Jewish origin and the perfect example of an exquisite reconfiguration of European modernist ideas, Clarice Lispector is a fascinating author. This is obvious since her first novel Perto do coração selvagem (Near to the Wild Heart, 1943), a book that was awarded several literary prizes in Brazil, even if afterwards the text would be often ignored within the critical studies dedicated to Lispector. Compared to Borges and Kafka and even to the narrative strategies used by Virginia Woolf (apparently influenced by James Joyce’s stream of consciousness, even if Lispector underlined that she had no…

Socrate e il mare. Il modello odissiaco nel Fedone

2015

Nel Fedone Platone traccia una biografia intellettuale di Socrate articolata in vari momenti. L’ultimo di essi (τὸν δεύτερον πλοῦν, la “seconda navigazione”) consiste nel passaggio dall’osservazione naturalistica ad una fi- losofia orientata in senso dialogico. La metafora della “seconda navigazione” rimanda al V libro dell’Odissea, in cui Odisseo rinuncia alla vita paradisiaca nell’isola di Calipso per tentare la traversata dell’abisso su una zattera e rag- giungere Itaca. In tutto il dialogo si trovano numerosi riferimenti all’Odissea: l’excursus autobiografico in cui Socrate definisce la propria filosofia può essere confrontato con i Discorsi di Odisseo alla corte del re Alcinoo. In …

Leonida Tonelli: A Biography

2011

This paper aims at going through the work by Leonida Tonelli, with a focus on the results he got in the fields of Real Analysis and Calculus of Variations, and put it within the socio-political context of his time. One of the most outstanding Italian analysts in the first half of twentieth century, first in Bologna and then in Pisa and Rome, Leonida Tonelli’s path combined elements of different, conflictual in some moment, relationships which featured at that time Italian mathematics and which linked the latter with Giovanni Gentile, the Fascism and the after-war “new”Italy.
