Judes-Èdip en l’edat mitjana
2018
Resum: Una llegenda medieval fon dos personatges literaris: el Judes dels evangelis i l’Èdip clàssic de la tragèdia de Sòfocles, de manera que ens trobem un Judes que, a més dels pecats que ja li coneixíem (traïció, avarícia, mentida, satanisme, suïcidi etc.), comet dues transgressions “edípiques”: el parricidi –mata el seu pare- i l’incest –es casa amb sa mare-. En aquest article fem un seguiment de la tradició textual d’aquesta fussió, del s. XII al XVI, en especial a través de les “passions” teatrals occitanes i catalanes, la Legenda aurea de Varazze i algunes referències de sant Vicent Ferrer i Francesc Eiximenis.
 Paraules clau: Judes, Èdip, passions, incest, parricidi.

On Thinking the Tragic with Adorno
2016
This article seeks to provide a template for understanding the tragic dimension of Theodor W. Adorno’s philosophy through a reading of his early collaborative work with Max Horkheimer, the Dialectic of Enlightenment (1944). While Adorno’s view has often been considered to be tragic, little has been done to reconstruct the tragic dimension of his thought. I argue that the view of the human condition, presented in the Dialectic of Enlightenment, is founded on metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical convictions that have structural similarities with the positions held by theorists and philosophers of tragedy and the tragic. Since traces of these tragic elements can be found throughout Adorn…
Tragico e tragedia in "una questione privata"
2014
The article focuses on the theoretical concepts of ‘Tragic’ and ‘Tragedy’, here applied to the novel Una questione privata by Beppe Fenoglio (originally published in 1963). The first part mostly regards the similarities between Una questione privata and dramatic structures (both theatrical and cinematographic) that Fenoglio could have read at that time. A short comparison with ancient Greek tragedy, in particular with Sophocles’ piece Oedipus, closes the first part. In the second one, the Author conducts a thematic analysis on textual premonitions of Milton’s tragic fate in Una questione privata.
Die Verwandlung der senecanischen Tragödie in Marc-Antoine Murets “Julius Caesar” und Jacques Grévins “César”
1994
In 1547 Marc-Antoine Muret wroteJulius Caesar, the first tragedy by a French author with an exclusively historical plot. While imitating the dramatic structure of Seneca's tragedies, he fundamentally changed the nature of the tragic conflict, transferring it from the character of the tragic hero to the clash of two basically positive principles, monarchy and Republican liberty. Muret's Caesar does not plan a revengeful crime as the Senecan heroes did; he is rather the successful statesman, ready to die after having won the victory over the entire world, and his apotheosis is soon fulfilled by the gods. On the other side are the Republican heroes Brutus and Cassius who succeed in killing the…
La figura di Cassandra sulla scena tragica di V secolo: le testimonianze dell’Agamennone e delle Troiane
2020
In both Aeschylus’ Agamemnon and Euripides’ Trojan Women, Cassandra plays the role of tragic heroine, subjected to Apollo’s manipulation, aware of the past and the present of the house of Atreus and able to predict the future; but on stage the people she speaks with do not seem to understand her predictions and are not persuaded by her words. The aim of the paper is to focus on the main features of the tragic character of Cassandra in Aeschylus and Euripides and to investigate the levels of manipulation and communication.
«Alcesti non è più Alcesti». La tragedia secondo Alberto Savinio
2015
A partire dai suoi precursori ottocenteschi, la cultura moderna ha elaborato una visione in negati- vo del tragico, insistendo sul tema della ‘morte della tragedia’ e dell’inattualità del genere tragico. La visione problematica e relativistica del mondo, che caratterizza larga parte delle esperienze no- vecentesche, nega infatti le ragioni del conflitto fra uomo e dio, fra uomo e cosmo, ed erode nel profondo le fondamenta gnoseologiche, etiche ed estetiche su cui si fondava il dramma classico. In questo contesto, le tragedie di Alberto Savinio, scritte nell’immediato secondo dopoguerra, offro- no un punto di osservazione estremamente interessante, proprio perché tematizzano all’interno del …
Rasgos esquileos en la caracterización de algunos personajes sofocleos
2008
Jose.V.Banuls@uv.es Carmen.Morenilla@uv.es Frente a la ignorancia en sus diversas formas como fuente del error trágico que caracteriza a los héroes de Sófocles, los de Esquilo son conscientes de lo que hacen, pero su grado de consciencia se halla alterado por una fuerza negativa que surge de su propio linaje. Encontramos estos rasgos esquileos, pero positivados, en Antígona. In contrast with ignorance as the source of the tragic error which characterizes the heroes of Sophocles, the heroes of Aeschylus are fully aware of their actions. However, the degree of their awareness is altered by a negative force which emerges from their lineage. These Aeschylean features are positively presented in…

Entre la realidad y la ficción, la razón y la locura: el drama coral como terapia individual y social
2017
Desde la función política de la tragedia griega, las diferentes formas dramáticas occidentales han asumido de manera más o menos explícita unas funciones del espectáculo dramático que integran bajo distintas acepciones la pretendida kátharsis aristotélica, en ocasiones para rechazarla y evitarla, que incluso van más allá del prodesse et delectare horaciano, tendiendo hacia una función terapéutica individual y social en unas formas dramáticas de elevado trasfondo coral en las que los límites entre realidad y ficción, entre cordura y locura se difuminan hasta llegar a confundirse, en las que la llamada “cuarta pared” deja de existir. El objeto de este trabajo es realizar un breve recorrido po…
La poetica dei cori di Nelly Sachs
2019
Italian translation from Swedish of Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback essay "La poetica dei cori di Nelly Sachs" which presents a reading of Nelly Sachs’ poetics focusing on how her poetry begins «in the Habitations of Death» as a multitude of choruses inside a chorus in relation to Aristotle’s concept of the tragic chorus and in relation to Diderot’s and Schiller’s poetics of a chorus.
