PICAREQUE NOVEL AND ITS ELEMENTS IN LATVIAN NOVEL HISTORY
2013
Anotācija Blēžu jeb pikareskais romāns sākotnēji radies Spānijā 16. gadsimtā un to pārstāvēja daži literāri darbi. Taču laika gaitā, izplatoties tālāk Vācijā, Anglijā, Francijā u.c., tas kļuva par literāru modeli, kura iezīmes raksturīgas arī latviešu literatūrai- jau sākot no brāļu Kaudzīšu romāna „Mērnieku laiki”(1879) līdz pat mūsdienām. Latviešu romānistika blēžu romāna aspektā līdz šim padziļināti nav pētīta. Visplašāk pikareskais romāns attīstījās tieši 20.gs 20.-30.gadu literatūrā, kā spilgtākos piemērus var minēt K. Zariņa romānu „Spīganas purvā”, J. V. Gregri „Latvijas karalis jeb Cilvēks, kam visi parādā”, P. Rozīša „Ceplis”, Anšl. Eglīša „Līgavu mednieki”. Atslēgas vārdi: sociāli…
L’umanismo nell’opera narrativa e divulgativa di Alberto Manzi
2019
Alberto Manzi is a key figure in the panorama of the development of Italian language and culture. The analysis of his biography and his writing highlights the humanism that characterizes all his literary works and his pedagogical thinking. A fil rouge that underlies his life and professional experiences, an urgency of renewal that results in a concrete commitment against injustice and ignorance, in the expression of a new paideia, in politically engaged writing.He wrote many novels (Grogh storia di un castoro, Collodi award, translated in 20 languages; Orzowei, honored at the Andersen award translated in 32 languages), tales, articles, informative writings; he developed TV and radio program…
Dalle Cronache del mal d’amore al ciclo dell’Amica geniale: continuità ed evoluzione nella narrativa di Elena Ferrante
2019
The paper analyzes the whole narrative production of Elena Ferrante, emphasizing its unity and cohesion. Cohesion coexists with discontinuity: the publication of My Brilliant Friend marks an inventive turning point and reveals new strategies. But it’s even remarkable Ferrante’s predilection for a narrative in which «the flow of storytelling that despite its density manages to sweep you away».

Dispositivi pittorici nella narrativa di Vincenzo Consolo.
2018
The study highlights the originality of Consol's stylistic experimentation and examines the iconological construction of novels. The adoption of an iconic perspective is the rhetorical strategy with which the Sicilian author formalizes techniques of metaphorical irradiation and analogical sequences.The problematic intensity of the historic invention is set out in a complex mesh of symmetries and antitheses among pictorial and narrative symbols, and is articulated as metonymic flow of images that are able to show materials and forms of the modern novel.
Narrating Selves amid Library Shelves : Literary Mediation and Demediation in S. by J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst
2019
This essay focuses on the various forms of narrating, mediating, and interpreting selves within and around a book object, the novel S. (2013) by J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst. The novel S. is an experiment in producing a deceivingly realistic replica of a maltreated library book object, but its discursive practices also rely on familiar literary forms, harking back to epistolary commonplaces, as well as to marginalia, both ancient and modern. The book object S., which carries the text of the novel-within-a-novel, the readers' multilayered markings, and paraphernalia, forms an archive dramatizing the workings of memory, thought, and emotion. That archive also demonstrates how the characters co…
Die weiblichen Figuren in Elisabeth Werners Romanen: selbstständige Frauen in nationalen Gewändern
2016
The female characters in Elisabeth Werner's novels: independent women in national costumes This essay examines the following novels of Elisabeth Werner: Ein Held der Feder (1872), Gesprengte Fesseln (1875), Heimatklang and Vineta (1877) and Wege des Schicksals (1909). Elisabeth Werner, pseudonym of Elizabeth Bürstenbinder, was one of the most popular writers of the family magazine ‘Die Gartenlaube’. The interest of research at Werner seems still to be relatively low. However, the extensive literary creation of the writer certainly deserves attention; it appears to be different from diverse points from the usual love and women's novels of the XIX century. This study analyses the female figur…
Migration, Identity, and Threatened Mental Health: Examples from Contemporary Fiction.
2018
In 2015, the world saw 244 million international migrants. Migration has been shown to be both a protective and a risk factor for mental health, depending on circumstances. Furthermore, culture has an impact on perceptions and constructions of mental illness and identity, both of which can be challenged through migration. Using a qualitative research approach, we analysed five internationally acclaimed and influential novels and one theatre play that focus on aspects of identity, migration, and threatened mental health. As a mirror of society, fiction can help to understand perceptions of identity and mental suffering on an intrapsychic and societal level, while at the same time society its…
