The Affective Geography of Paris in the 19th Century Romanian Novel: Between Admiration and Aversion
2020
Based on “The Emotions of London”, a research project initiated at the Stanford Literary Lab, my article focuses on two relevant issues. First of all, I aim to demonstrate, as the “geography of emotions” experiment has already proved, that distant reading approaches and big data interpretation do not necessarily have to replace traditional methods of analysis. In other words, by using a corpus of 157 texts, I intend to outline the affective image of Paris as presented in the nineteenth century Romanian novel. Secondly, the aspect that makes my article different from “The Emotions of London” is that my purpose does not lie in analysing emotions associated with certain place-names in Paris, b…

Producing social mobility. Class and Travel in the Romanian Novel 1901-1932
2020
The present article addresses the Romanian novelistic production between 1901 and 1932 in the attempt of identifying a series of patterns regarding the protagonists’ social mobility. Starting with the most mentioned destinations throughout the novels, I analyse how and why the different social classes travel and try to determine the landmarks between which they dispute their physical presence, on the one hand, and their aspirations, on the other. On this basis, the second part of the article conducts a quantitative analysis of the major means of transport in the period – the train, the tramway, the coach/carriage, the automobile, the aeroplane, the ship, and the waggon – and attempts to pin…
Late-Victorian Paganism: the case of the Pagan Review
2015
Cet article traite de l’unique numéro de la Pagan Review paru en Grande-Bretagne en 1892 sous la seule plume de William Sharp, poète, critique littéraire et romancier qui devait par ailleurs rencontrer le succès sous le pseudonyme de Fiona MacLeod dès 1894. Rédigé à une époque de profonde réflexion personnelle par Sharp, la Pagan Review porte également l’empreinte du remaniement religieux et littéraire de la fin du siècle et témoigne de la recherche de l’expression littéraire d’une subjectivité revendiquant un certain syncrétisme religieux, l’égalité des sexes et le cosmopolitisme culturel. This article discusses the sole issue of the Pagan Review (1892) single-handedly authored by William …

2010
Attraverso la ricostruzione di un allestimento della "Messa da Requiem" di Giuseppe Verdi al Duomo di Orvieto nel 1891, l'articolo riflette sui metodi di produzione dello spettacolo, mostrando come, nonostante il contesto sacro, la macchina gestionale fosse quella tipica dell'industria operistica coeva, con un ruolo di primissimo piano esercitato dal direttore d'orchestra, Emilio Usiglio.
