Geography of Emotions Across the Black Mediterranean: Oral Memories and Dissonant Heritages of Slavery and the Colonial Past
2019
AbstractThis contribution is dedicated to analysing oral memories about the Black Mediterranean through interviews with people from or culturally linked to the Horn of Africa. The aim is to consider how the interviewees make use of archives to voice their feelings about the past and present in Africa and Europe. I introduce the concept of a “geography of emotions” as a set of different perceptions of Europe and its past. The mobilization of these memories in new interpretative perspectives is part of a dissonant heritage which is actively working inside the European borders in order to produce new cultural identities, to reiterate forms of belonging to black diasporic communities, and to in…
True V or not True V, That is the Question
2016
In this paper we intend to argue that: (1) the question `True V or not True V' is central to both the philosophical and mathematical investigations of the foundations of mathematics; (2) when posed within a framework in which set theory is seen as a science of objects, the question `True V or not True V' generates a dilemma each horn of which turns out to be unacceptable; (3) a plausible way out of the dilemma mentioned at (2) is provided by an approach to set theory according to which this is considered to be a science of structures.
De Finnis cornutis
2014
<p><em>Horned Finns</em>. The ‘cornuti Finni’ mentioned in the <em>Historia Norwegiae</em> have not found their explanation, because the Latin word <em>cornu</em>, from which the adjective is derived, has been understood in the strict sense of ‘horn on the head’. The Latin word, however, also means ‘hoof’ of horses or ‘cloven hoof’ of cows and goats, even of the mythologic Faunus and Pan. In December 1913 Kai Donner saw in Dudinka Avam-Samojeds, who because of their cylindrically shaped reindeer winter boots, the front of which was hoof-shaped, were called ‘hoofed men’ (in Finnish ‘kaviolliset miehet’). In the extracts of Aristeas of Proconnesus, wh…
¿Cómo se replica afirmativamente en español e italiano?
2017
This article is part of a broader project aiming to describe the pragmatic strategies in Spanish and Italian task-oriented dialogues. Specifically it intends to highlight the different communicative dynamics depending on the use of affirmative responses carried out with the Spanish particles hum, sí, vale, ya, bien, exacto, etc. and Italian markers uhm, sì, okay, perfetto, etc. The method of analysis used has allowed to delineate two ‘stylistic’ tendencies that differ on the characterisation of the speaker’s stance about the interaction: Italian speakers present themselves as guides leading the achievement of the task, Spanish speakers moreover present themselves like autonomous individuals…
D’Annunzio e il teatro fuori dal teatro
2017
<p>At the origin of the two stage shows there is the idea of commemoration: September 11, the anniversary of the march on Ronchi, for <em>La Figlia di Iorio</em> to Vittoriale in 1927 and the homage to the Vate who has disappeared for a few months to represent <em>La Nave</em> in Venice in 1938; two different ways of celebrating and ritualising the event/theatre out of the theatre. And while in the first case, in a celebratory context he himself cared for, d’Annunzio became an enthusiastic promoter of a significant updating of the theatrical practice, in 1938 the regime finalised the event to an exaggeration of the duce’s politics in the lagoon marking a substa…
Una suggestione archilochea ne La Città Morta?
2020
This note proposes the hypothesis that in La città morta, Act II, sc. I, d’Annunzio used a fragment of Archilochus, sent to us by Plutarch and Athenaeus.
Il paesaggio della Grecia nei Taccuini
2016
D’Annunzio does not dream, but really sees, leading an impressionistic and syncopated storytelling in which he portrays scenes of true reality. Léon Bakst (author of the theatrical productions of the Martyre de Saint Sébastien, La Pisanelle and Phaedra) similarly proceeds, drawing in some works, Narcisse (1911), L'Après-midi d'un Faune (1912), Daphnis et Chloé (1912), Helene de Sparte (1912), those figurative motifs that the poet notes in his travels, such as the intense green of nature, the austere red rocks, the arid and wild lands.
Quand "je" est un autre. À propos d'Une belle matinée de Marguerite Yourcenar.
2008
Quand on analyse le personnage du jeune Lazare dans la courte nouvelle de M Yourcenar Une belle matinée, on retrouve une idée chère à son auteur: Unus et multi in me. En effet, l'identité de l'enfant, lorsqu'il commence à en prendre conscience, se fonde et se réalise à travers une diversité de personnages. Il vit sa vie en vivant toute vie. Ce sont ces rapports étroits entre identité et altérité que je tenterai d'analyser dans les principaux romans et plus particulièrement dans ce dernier texte romanesque de M. Yourcenar..
Duques, princesas y arzobispos: la fecha de redacción de Virtud, pobreza y mujer, de Lope de Vega
2021
En este artículo se aportan las razones oportunas para considerar que la comedia 'Virtud, pobreza y mujer', de Lope de Vega, se escribió a comienzos de 1616, frente a la opinión mayoritaria de la crítica, que hasta ahora se había inclinado por fecharla en un periodo comprendido entre 1612 y 1615. Los indicios a este respecto se encuentran en el segundo acto de la obra: se trata de una serie de referencias a circunstancias concretas, fechables todas ellas en 1616, ligadas a personajes del momento, tales como el arzobispo Pedro González de Mendoza y Silva (1571-1639), la princesa - y futura reina - Isabel de Borbón (1602-1644) y, finalmente, Jorge de Cárdenas y Manrique (ca. 1592-1644), cuart…
