Carles Soldevila ironista: «Valentina»
2016
Resum: El present article té com a objectiu estudiar la importància de la ironia en Carles Soldevila mitjançant l’anàlisi de la novel·la Valentina, publicada l’any 1933. En primer lloc, hom descriu el concepte d’ironia que tenia l’autor i, després, hom passa a comprovar la utilització del recurs en la novel·la esmentada, mitjançant els apartats segu?ents: la ironia del narrador, la ironia de situació, la ironia verbal, la ironia gestual i la ironia hipertextual o paròdia. La ironia del narrador i la ironia verbal hi apareixen com les més decisives: la primera ens permet veure el joc de distanciament irònic del narrador envers els personatges; la segona mostra la gran bateria de recursos ret…

First Report of Botrytis Blight on Medinilla magnifica and Various Species of Mandevilla and Allamanda in Italy.
2019
Medinilla magnifica Lindl., Mandevilla splendens (Hook.) Woodson, the hybrid Mandevilla × amoena ‘Alice du Pont’ (pink allamanda), and various species of Allamanda, such as A. cathartica L. and A. blanchetii A. DC. (purple allamanda), are grown in Sicily as ornamentals. After a frost in early December 2001, a sudden wilt of container-grown cuttings of these tropical species was observed in a plastic-covered production greenhouse, with ≈30% of M. magnifica plants and 70% of Mandevilla and Allamanda plants affected. Medinilla plants (≈35 cm high) had been rooted in trays and transplanted individually in 30-cm-diameter pots. Allamanda (recently rooted cuttings) and Mandevilla (well-establishe…
"…a počínal tušit, že s obrazy to tady nebude jednoduché." Ekfrastyczność (w) powieści "Cesta do pekel" Václava Vokolka
2019
The article analyses the novel Cesta do pekel written by Václav Vokolek – the Czech prose writer, poet and painter – through the usage of the intersemiotic translation strategies. The plot of the text can be characterized as the contamination of the physically plausible historic world (the construction of the railway in the middle of the 19th century) with the implausible one (the infernal story) according to Lubomír Doležel’s typology. Demonstrating the changes in the arts (the clash of romanticism with realism), the novelist sensitizes the reader to the drastic introversion into nature, as exemplifi ed by the urbanization processes in the north of the Czech Republic. At the same time, the…
Le rire, clef de voûte du vaudeville
2018
Rire au théâtre. Théâtre comique. Quels sont les facteurs qui font que le texte théâtral soit comique ? Qu’est-ce que le rire ? Quels sont les éléments qui déclenchent cette réaction ? Henry Bergson (1859-1941) l’analyse minutieusement dans son œuvre Le rire (1922), ce qui permet de mieux comprendre certains mécanismes employés par les dramaturges au moment de créer leurs pièces. Une des questions qui se dégagent de l’étude de Bergson est la possibilité que les ingrédients de la recette pour faire rire varient en fonction de la nationalité de celui qui rit, autrement dit, serait-il possible que les bases du rire varient en fonction des différentes cultures ?
Arti magiche, influenze diaboliche e malefici in Sicilia nei secoli XIV e XV
2020
I dati sulla magia nella Sicilia tardo-medievale sono scarsi, ma i documenti testimoniano la commistione tra magia, religione e medicina. Le presunte maghe sono spesso donne sole, prive di un cognome che le collochi in un contesto socio-familiare. Il maleficio operato dallo schiavo Giorgio ai danni del vecchio padrone apre uno spiraglio sui riti magici portati in Sicilia dagli schiavi. L’episodio segue gli schemi della magia tradizionale e la sua assoluzione pare legata all’intervento del nuovo padrone. La magia è un campo aperto senza confini spaziali e sociali, Giorgio comunica il suo sapere popolare a speziali e mercanti di Palermo che lo ascoltano, lo temono e ne seguono le indicazioni.…

Oppressive Faces of Whiteness in Walter Mosley’s "Devil in a Blue Dress"
2018
Walter Mosley’s Devil in a Blue Dress contributes significantly to the literary debate on the definition of whiteness. The socio-historical construction of whiteness emerging from the novel is amplified by white imagery dovetailing with the claims made about white people directly. For the African American first person narrator, Easy Rawlins, living in post-World War II Los Angeles, whiteness mostly spells terror. The oppressive faces of whiteness consist in the following trajectories: property relations, economic exploitation, labour relations, the legal system, different miens of oppressive white masculinity denigrating blackness, spatial dynamics of post-World War II Los Angeles and the w…
