Téa Obreht e Sara Nović: l’esotico alla balcanica
Authors: Miok Olivera
Published: July 2024

In the contemporary literary universe, where the ‘commercial pole’ of literary field prevails over the ‘autonomous’ one, according to the dichotomy introduced by Pierre Bourdieu and furtherly developed by Pascale Casanova, the phenomena of so-called ‘world fiction’, has been becoming increasingly widespread. Considering that many readers read the works of fiction in order to experience the Other and the Alterity, the writers originating from or somehow related to peripheral cultures are expected to represent their cultures. The value of authenticity is attributed to their representations, even if the author’s autonomy is significantly limited by the rules of the chosen genre (‘world fiction’), and of the literary field they are trying to penetrate. Starting from these premises and focusing on the extraordinary success of two American writers of Balkan origin, Tea Obreht and Sara Nović, in this paper I will try to provide some answers to the following questions: what is the expected image of the Balkan in the USA literary field? Is the discourse of balcanism still present? And why do these images, although fictional, have an importance for the real world?
Fare gli italiani dell’anno 3000
Paolo Mantegazza e le prospettive future dell’amore nell’Italia postunitaria
Authors: Campani Francesca
Published: July 2024

In 1897 the Italian anthropologist Paolo Mantegazza published The year 3000. A dream, a science fiction novel in which he described the future order of mankind through the journey of a couple. While recent historiography has focused on the eugenic elements of the book, this article discusses the social and gender matters that underpin the novel. Indeed, on the basis of the emotional paradigm of romantic love, Mantegazza put the ‘sexual reform’ of the post-unified Italy at the centre of his work. Believing that «love was the first instrument of progress», he aimed to show how under the guidance of science, humanity as well as Italian society would have a future of happiness and prosperity.
«Io fanciullo crebbi in un tempio di ferro...». Appunti sul Proletkul’t
Authors: Carpi Guido
Published: July 2024

The essay aims to describe the Proletkult movement: its ideological origins, the first organizational models, and its emerging role in the first steps of soviet culture. Particular attention will be paid to Proletkult’s poetic works, an original heritage that was very influential at the time, but which is now almost completely forgotten. The essay will also attempt to thoroughly define the concept at the heart of Proletkult’s activity: the utopia of a new humanity organized in a collectivist way.
I periodici per l’infanzia degli anni Venti e la creazione del futuro cittadino sovietico
Authors: Emeliyanova Maria
Published: July 2024

In the interwar period, the Soviet Union experienced an unprecedented attention towards children’s literature. The October revolution was a driving force for all the arts and particularly for the editorial production aimed at forging the ‘new man’, embodied in the present moment by the younger generation. The CPSU increased its investment in all forms of publications – books, magazines, posters – and proposed them for mass production with the scope of educational engineering. Through an analysis of the literary and visual contents of the 1920’s issues of the magazine Murzilka, this paper aims at defining the characteristics of the new man as they appeared on the pages of one of the most popular magazines for children in Soviet Russia.
Utopia, determinismo tecnologico, ingegneria sociale: la dianetica tra scienza e fantascienza
Authors: Argenio Giulio
Published: July 2024

In May 1950 L. R. Hubbard published in a science fiction magazine “Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science”, which would later form the basis of Scientology. Emerging from the technocratic mindset typically associated with the periodical, the article considered the human brain as a computer in need of rewiring, giving birth to a peculiar kind of utopian thinking whose aim was not the creation of a ‘new man’, but the return to an original perfection of the mind. Through an examination of this text and its context, I propose to investigate the relationship between engineering culture and literary fictions, trying to understand how the mind-computer analogy shaped the vision of a regenerated society.
Life Stories and Living Texts
The Political Use of Oral Sources in the Storytelling of Turkey’s Past
Authors: De Sanctis Carlotta
Published: July 2024

This contribution deals with issues related to the use of oral sources in historical research carried out during times marked by high political tensions and it focuses on the case of contemporary Turkey. Storytelling implies selection and assembly, through which interviewees shape an image of themselves but also of their relationship with others and with the world. The purpose is to analyse the narrative potential of oral sources by examining a sample of biographical testimonies of left-wing intellectuals who actively contributed to the constitution of the ‘civil society’ during the 1980s. The selected interviews show how contemporary political events deeply affect the relationship with the past.
Alla Mecca e Oltre
Una selezione di contratti di viaggio registrati presso il tribunale ottomano di Aleppo (secoli XVI-XVIII)
Authors: Salati Marco
Published: July 2024

This short essay presents a number of unpublished 16th to 18th-century documents from the qāḍī-court records of Aleppo related to contracts and arrangements of travel and transport. These documents mirror the importance of Aleppo as a centre of regional and international trade and as a chief halting place on the Anatolian-Syrian pilgrimage route in the classic Ottoman era. The bustling urban and rural world of travelling pilgrims, merchants, high dignitaries, travel agents, camel breeders, camel drivers, and porters returns the image of a society where mobility, despite its hardships, dangers and costs, was a constant and essential feature.
Honorary Decree of the Greeks’ koinon synedrion for Glaucon
Authors: Bencivenni Alice
Published: July 2024

The koinon synedrion of the Greeks, placed at Plataia, honours the Athenian Glaucon, younger brother of Chremonides (the proposer of the decree IG II/III³ 1, 912), and his descendants with public praise and proedria at the Panhellenic games Eleutheria by virtue of his many merits. Glaucon’s Panhellenic euergetism dates back to the past, when he was in Athens, and subsequently when, being exiled at the end of the Chremonidean war and while in service of Ptolemy II, he made offerings to the sanctuary of Zeus Eleutherios and Homonoia of the Greeks in Plataia and played a part in increasing both the sacrifices on the altar of the two gods and the games Eleutheria (founded at Plataia sometime after the rebuilding of the city by Alexander the Great).
Records of Remitted Records of the City of Acraephia
Authors: Paladini Elettra
Published: July 2024

The two inscriptions were engraved on the short sides of a quadrangular block of white limestone found at Acraephia in Boeotia. These two accounts record the partial amnesty of debts contracted by Acraephia with two private individuals, the citizen Kallon (text a) and the Theban Euclid (text b). In the first document, the creditor and his descendants were rewarded with the privilege of the epinomia, the right to freely exploit pastures owned by the city. In the second one, there is no mention of privileges granted, but the sacred land of the god Apollo was chosen as a guarantee of debt, as a result of a decree enforce by the demos. The texts are generally dated to the second half of the third century BC, but there is not any clear chronological or historical reference in their contents; therefore, it is not possible to understand the reason that determined the financial crisis of Acraephia and its need to borrow money from wealthy citizens. Finally, it is interesting to note that these are not the only inscriptions engraved on the same stone. Other four texts were inscribed, including three catalogues of citizens of Acraephia and a fragmentary honorary decree. An analysis of these other inscriptions could possibly enrich the descriptive context of the two accounts, providing useful elements to better understand the financial situation of Acraephia.
Pronouncement for the Chaladrioi and Deukalion
Authors: Zunino Maddalena Luisa
Published: July 2024

The ϝράτρα for the Chaladrioi and Deukalion falls under a definite group of Elean documents, archaic and classical, that is the oracular pronouncements enacted by Olympian Zeus for the Eleans and their dependent political communities, whether allies, perioikoi, or members of an alleged Elean confederacy. The god instructs the Chaladrioi (a political community which is elsewhere unattested) to bestow on the foreign Deukalion and his descent citizenship and some distinctive privileges (isoproxeny and isodamiurgy). These privileges enable him ‘to speak in the god’s presence’, with the same authority that lies with Olympian officials and the Elean damos, and to take care of the sole Chaladrian land in Pisa, relevant to the Olympian sanctuary. This land, allocated to a new citizen receiving special honours, seems actually linked to the Olympian sanctuary – whether consecrated or not – by the pronouncement of Zeus for the first time. After the Persian Wars, Pindar and Bacchylides started to sing about Pisa as the very place of the Olympian Games and the sanctuary of Zeus reached a new level of Panhellenic renown, which was emphasised in the construction of the first temple of the god and other important building activities (such as the enlargement and partial displacement of the stadium) and surely brought about a lot of new visitors and pilgrims, in need of hosting land.
Honorary Athenian Decree for Some Akarnanian Exiles
Authors: De Martinis Livia
Published: July 2024

The decree, dating to the summer of 337 B.C., establishes on the one hand the granting of gold crowns and citizenship to two Akarnanians brothers, Phormion and Karphinas, commanders of an Akarnanian military contingent that apparently supported Athens in the battle of Chaironeia, on the other the recognition of a series of honours to the Akarnanians who followed them and constituted evidently the nerve of this contingent. The honorary decree is extremely interesting for the reconstruction of the Athenian situation immediately after the battle of Chaironeia, when Athens – apparently pro-Macedonian – seemed to carry on its resistance against Philip II by granting asylum to those who had supported the city in the military clash against Macedonia and were persecuted for this reason. The decree, then, explicitly remembers that the grandfather of the two honorands, Phormion, had in turn been beneficiary in 400 BC ca. of the granting of Athenian citizenship: the mention of this previous action creates a strong link, with evident propagandistic implications, between the moments following the battle of Chaironeia and those following the end of the Peloponnesian war. Finally, the decree may also be considered as a valid source for the study of the concession of the isoteleia, in this specific case granted in its widest form (exemption from the metoikion, right of enktesis, guarantee of legal protections, right to pay eisphorai with citizens) and not to individuals, but to a group of political exiles.
Treaty for the Foundation of the League of Cities and Federal States Promoted by Antigonus and Demetrius
Authors: Paganoni Eloisa
Published: July 2024

This inscription, found in Epidaurus, preserves a treaty for the foundation of a league of poleis and ethne promoted by Antigonus Monophthalmus and Demetrius Poliorcetes. The league formally was a symmachia and its administrative body included a synedrion, i.e. an assembly of league members, five proedri, and a strategos representing Antigonus and Demetrius. It is impossible to list all the members of this league, but it is known that the coalition included Epidaurus, Achaia and Aelis, and possibly those areas of the Peloponnese which Demetrius freed in 303 BC, and Athens. Antigonus and Demetrius organised the league to gather a force against Cassander and to establish their hegemony over Greece. However, the league was short-lived. It was founded in 302 BC and it ceased to exist the year after when Antigonus died at Ipsus (301 BC).
Dodona Oracle for Corcyreans and Oricians
Authors: Intrieri Maria
Published: July 2024

The lamella, found in the oracular sanctuary of Dodona, contains a public enquiry addressed by Corcyreans and Oricians to Zeus Naios and Diona. The enquiry belongs to the most widespread typology of requests in Dodona: those aimed at obtaining the indication of the divinities to whom it was better to offer prayers in order to obtain protection or support. It is not clear whether this was a periodic practice linked to the attention paid to obtain divine help in the domain of ritual action or to a specific decision matured by the two poleis while facing some adversity. It suggests, however, the existence of a close relationship – perhaps a sympoliteia – between Corcira and Orikos.
Μηδὲν (ὑπ)εναντίον πράττειν: A Slogan of Pro-Roman Diplomacy after Pydna?
Authors: Gandini Alberto
Published: July 2024

This paper takes as its starting point an analysis of three inscriptions dating from the second quarter of the 2nd century BC, related to matters of international politics within the micro-Asiatic Hellenistic world: the treaty of alliance between Pharnakes I and the polis of Chersonesos (IOSPE I2 nr. 402), the treaty of alliance among Plarasa-Aphrodisias, Kibyra and Tabai (Milner 2007), and the (possible) foundation act of the Kibyratic Tetrapolis (I.Kibyra I nr. 2). What is most interesting about these major political agreements is that all the contracting parties make a common commitment not to undertake anything contrary to the Roman decrees or interests; in addition to this, they set it as a condition for the validity of the acts and express it by using much the same wordings. These texts are not addressed to a Roman audience; notwithstanding, they betray a common need to display an undisputed loyalty to the Roman cause. Accordingly, there is a strong case for supposing the action or the presence of the Roman Senate behind them. Indeed, it is telling a comparison to some Roman inscriptions dated to the 2nd century BC, whereby similar phraseologies figure in the words of the Romans themselves. Such coincidences demonstrate the sharing of a highly codified language by different political actors and can be related to the stress put by the ancient narratives (notably, the Histories by Polybius) on the necessity to obey Roman orders in the aftermath of the Third Macedonian War. Thus, we can recover an element of the script of the philo-Roman diplomacy in a specific historical and geopolitical context; it reflects the manner the Romans looked at their own imperium after Pydna, when a radical shift took place in the power relationships within the Hellenistic world.
Republication in Iasos of an Athenian Proxeny Decree
Authors: Rossini Alessandro
Published: July 2024

The agora of Iasos in Caria yielded a 3rd/2nd century BC decree which fulfilled a certain Kydias’ proposal to display the copy of the Athenian-proxeny conferral to three earlier Iaseans. The Iasean part retains a valuable passage about the rare Archive of the Prostates, while the copy allowed a progress in the exegesis of the original decree; it also allowed to form hypotheses on the context of the honours to the three Iaseans and on the reasons that led Iasos and Kydias to commemorate them. It is instrumental, in this sense, to understand the other survived Athenian provision, about the arrangement of a group of philo-Athenian Iaseans.
The Fear of Laughter in Restoration Prose Fiction
Authors: Figueroa Jorge
Published: July 2024

This article draws on recent studies on the fear of derisive laughter (or ‘gelotophobia’) in order to relate them to early modern comments on laughter and to the representation of that anxiety in some texts of Restoration prose fiction, and with a particular emphasis on Alexander Oldys’s The Fair Extravagant(1682). Gelotophobia is a variant of shame anxiety and a social phobia defined as the pathological fear of being an object of laughter. Although the fear shown in the texts analysed is not pathological, it certainly reveals the strong pressure of the shame culture and gender politics prevailing in Restoration England.
The Kingdom Where Nobody Dies
Shirley’s Caroline Helstone and the Mimicry of Childhood Collaboration
Authors: Richardson Ann-Marie
Published: July 2024

This essay explores Charlotte Brontë’s 1849 novel Shirley as a literary endeavour to recreate the sibling dynamic of the Brontës’ childhoods, and the psychological effect of being the ‘surviving’ sibling of a formally collaborative unit. In their adolescent years, the Brontës famously forged fictional kingdoms together, known collectively as “The Glass Town Saga”. Throughout adulthood, each Brontë continuously returned to these stories, oftentimes due to nostalgia and occasionally for creative reinvention. However, by the summer of 1849, their familial collaboration was at an end. Charlotte was the last sibling standing, having lost all her co-authors in the space of nine months. In despair, as a form of catharsis, she turned to her writing and this essay will focus on how protagonist Caroline Helstone became an elegy for both Branwell and Anne Brontë. Mere weeks before Charlotte began volume 1 of Shirley, Branwell was determined to return to a heroine created in his childhood, also named “Caroline (1836)”. This juvenilia piece explores themes of waning sibling connections, death and heartbreak – issues which tormented Branwell and Charlotte throughout his prolonged final illness. Yet Caroline Helstone’s ethereal femininity and infantilization mirrors Anne Brontë’s reputation as the ‘obedient’ sibling, as well as the views expressed in her semi-autobiographical novels Agnes Grey (1847) and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848).
The Disappearing Act: Heritage Making in Charlotte Riddell’s Novels
Authors: Colella Silvana
Published: July 2024

This article examines the strategies of heritage making in Riddell’s City novels, popular in the 19th century, but little known today. Drawing on late Victorian debates about the preservation of the past and its material remains, the article focuses on the relationship between fictional and non-fictional elements, in Riddell’s urban realism, which frequently pivots on heritage concerns. The main argument is twofold: 1) heritage discourse provides an apt frame for the self-validation of the author’s daring narrative choices; 2) Riddell’s understanding of heritage changes as her vision of capitalism darkens, culminating in a vocal denunciation of the destructive forces at work in the very idea of progress. Her novels generate heritage value in the very gesture of recording the many disappearing acts mournfully witnessed by the narrator.
An Avian-Aquapelagic Heritage at “the Edge of the World”
Reflections on Humans and Seabirds on St Kilda and the Arrival of HPAIV
Authors: Hayward Philip
Published: July 2024

The concept of the aquapelago was introduced into Island Studies in 2012 to identify the close integration of aquatic and terrestrial realms that can arise from human livelihood activities conducted within them. While many aspects of aquapelagos have subsequently been described and analysed, little attention has been extended to their interface with aerial and, particularly, avian domains. This article attempts to redress this through a consideration of human livelihood activities involving seabirds in St Kilda, an isolated group of islands to the west of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. Using the concept of the aquapelago as a starting point, the article considers various aspects of human-avian relations occurring on St Kilda, and UNESCO’s subsequent designation of the islands as a World Heritage site and intersperses this with the author’s personal experiences of and affective engagements with the islands. In particular, the latter part of the article develops the author’s field notes from a visit in Summer 2022 into a consideration of the limits of isolation occasioned by the presence of the H5N1 strain of HPAIV (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus) on St Kilda at that time. The viral colonisation of the bird colonies undermined any sense of St Kilda and similar remote locations being safely isolated refugia and, indeed, signalled a particularly precarious moment of Anthropocene connectivity between mainlands and islands.
Symbiotic Narratives for a De-Colonial Turn
Exploring the Arboreal Identity in Sumana Roy’s Out of Syllabus
Authors: Banga Harjot
Published: July 2024

This study delves into the nuanced relationship between humans and trees, focusing on Sumana Roy’s Out of Syllabus (2019). Using a multidisciplinary approach drawing from anthropology and philosophy, it aims to uncover the dynamic role of trees in the human experience in India. Positioned within a postcolonial perspective aligned with the decolonial turn, the analysis emphasises trees’ active agency, challenging their traditional portrayal as passive elements. Informed by scholars like Jones and Oppermann, it delves into the nuanced interplay between human and arboreal existence, enhancing our understanding of their symbiotic relationship.
Le lettere di Francesco Paolo Como a Ettore Ferrari.
Un contributo documentario alla vicenda del Monumento ai caduti di Taranto
Authors: Castellana Stefania
Published: July 2024

In 1923 the sculptor Francesco Paolo Como (Taranto, 1888-Rome, 1973) wins the contest for the Monumento ai caduti in Taranto. As known, the realization of this work suffers many delays because of tension between the author and the various committees. Only in 1953, the last group, the Aquilifero, can be set up. The article analyses the sequence of events related to the monument through a series of missives between Como and his mentor Ettore Ferrari (Rome, 1845-1929). Through this correspondence is possible to write a clearer history of the monument and his author, explaining the reasons of Como’s anxiety, his relationship with Ferrari and his social role into the ‘fascistissima’ Taranto.

Nuovi documenti sul conflitto dell'Interdetto (1606-1607)
Un inedito dialogo satirico in veneziano
Authors: Canzona Sofia , Cappelletti Luigi Alessandro
Published: July 2024

A XVII Century manuscript containing Italian poems is preserved in the Trinity College Library, in Cambridge. Many of the texts refer to the events occurred between the Republic of Venice and the Church of Rome during the so-called Interdict (1606-7). The aim of the article is to focus on an anonymous satirical dialogue in venetian dialect containing the account - from a venetian perspective - of some improper acts committed by the Jesuits before their banishment. A great deal of interest about this dialogue can be found in the historical and cultural context of production, the literary genre and the obscene lexicon.

Cannibal Candy 2.0
Anthropophagy, Transculturation, Migrations and Banquets in Recent Argentine Literature
Authors: Néspolo Jimena
Published: July 2024

This article offers a reading of the novel El Entenado (1982) by Juan José Saer, analysing the way in which it is inserted within the author’s system and within the Argentinean literary canon. The Saerian heritage is resignified by cannibalism and its presence in cultural studies. ‘Cannibalism’ stresses a relativised opposition between interior and exterior by founding an exuberant de-colonial polysemy that challenges the stigma of savagery and barbarism with which classical historiography has characterised the New World. The cannibal cleavage of texts published after the year 2000 – texts singularly crossed by the migration experience – plays with a culture of knowledge and flavour, eating and being-eaten.

Honor de Cavalleria, Reflections on the ‘Quijjote' by Albert Serra
Authors: Palladino Nicola
Published: July 2024

This article discusses the cinematographic adaptation of Cervantes’ Don Quijote done by Spanish director Albert Serra (2006). Honor de cavalleria, which became a book in 2010, confounded and baffled Spanish critics for its lack of ‘adventures’, dialogues and characters, and the unaffected performances of the cast: El Quijote (Lluís Carbó) and Sancho (Lluís Serrat) lost in a row landscapes. The article considers the validity and strength of Serra’s controversial setting, taking into consideration some Quijote’s cinematographic ‘models’ and adaptations.
Gender Roles, Family Models and Community-Building Processes in Poblenou
A Comparative Analysis of American, British and Catalan Soap Operas
Authors: Grassi Silvia
Published: July 2024

This article explores connections between construction of gender roles, family models and community-building processes in soap opera narratives. The underlying research hypothesis maintains that construction of gender roles and family models in soap operas influences values around which a sense of community is constructed. Using textual analysis as methodology and an intercultural approach, this study compares and contrasts British and American soap operas. This approach allows to set out two contrasting models and investigate whether and to what extent Catalan soap operas adhere to one of them by proposing an original analysis of selected characters and storylines from a corpus of Catalan drama serials. This article also queries in which ways Catalonia’s situation as a stateless nation influences a sense of community construction in Catalan soap operas.

This essay analyses the specificity of Emilio Salgari’s case in Argentina and the inseparable relationship between popular literature and comic, through a consideration about his reception, reader’s reception and recurring themes in his work. To this purpose, the article focuses on Salgari’s presence on the collective imaginary. In fact, the presence of Salgari’s novels in Argentina allows the circulation of literature between migrants through comic book’s adaptations. This kind of adaptation makes it possible to reuse literary texts and have a wide diffusion through different communications system reaching other kind of readers.
‘Blood in the Queer Eye’: Anomalous Bodies and Monsters in Lina Meruane’s Fictions
Authors: Bizzarri Gabriele
Published: July 2024

This essay focuses on the peculiar intersection which seems to explain unstable living forms – precarious ‘bodies in progress’ – that inhabit Lina Meruane’s ‘degenerated’ poetics, one where queer discourse mixes with fantastic and gothic features. Indeed, if, on the one hand, the Chilean author’s political agenda clings to the refusal of a disciplinating mould and objections to any request of identity accountability, on the other, she constantly counterbalances her revolutionary theoretical drive always flirting with narrative codes of the ominous, as illustrated by estranging, almost a ‘horror’ staging she intends for every one of her ambiguous, amorphous creatures.
«Sogno un ultimo viaggio ispanico». Seven Letters by Arturo Farinelli to Eugeni d’Ors
Authors: Suppa Francesca
Published: July 2024

Italian scholar Arturo Farinelli was strongly connected with Catalonia and Spain’s cultural environment. In early 20th century, he met young Catalan philosopher Eugeni d’Ors and, despite their opposed aesthetical and ideological positions, the two became friends and started an epistolary relationship attested by seven letters of Arturo Farinelli, sent between 1920 and 1943 and located in the Arxiu National de Catalunya. During World War I, both intellectuals defended neutrality, but moving from antithetical ideological assumptions, such as a humanistic internationalism in the case of Farinelli, and European imperialism promoted by Ors. Differences between them lie also in their aesthetic judgements about Baroque and Romanticism.
Poetry, Modern Architecture and Avant-Garde
The Catalan Poet J. V. Foix at the V Triennale di Milano, 1933
Authors: Jaén i Urban Gaspar , Lucchini Marco
Published: July 2024

Writer and poet J.V. Foix had a very prominent role in Catalan culture, especially in the Avant-gardes period in early 20th century. However, it is not well known his involvement in architecture shown by several articles written after he visited the V Triennale in Milan (1933) that were later published in the volume Mots i maons o a cascú el seu. Part of Foix’s work can be considered a critical interpretation of architecture from a literary point of view. Besides a general approval of modernist and Avant-garde architecture, his writings reflect a surprisingly mature conception of architecture that anticipates relevant opinion that both in Italy and in Spain would address architecture theoretical works after World War II. Most likely Foix came into direct contact with the Modern Movement while he was visiting the V Triennale and there he realized the potential of ‘crosswise’ interests between architecture and literature and especially between the international context and Spain.
Literature and Memory. Pedra de tartera, by Maria Barbal, and the Memory of the Spanish Civil War
Authors: Gatell Perez Montserrat
Published: July 2024

Maria Barbal’s Pallars Cycle has its origin in Pedra de tartera. In this cycle Barbal creates a literary universe which recovers lost space and time: rural life in the Pyrenees during the mid-20th century. Main threads articulating this cycle are the Spanish Civil War and rural exodus. Both events relate Pedra de tartera with memory narratives that deal with remembrance and testimonies of war and its aftermath. The article aims to ground the relationship between the novel’s structuring of war memory through literary reconstruction of the past, fictionalizations of memory and relationship between historic and literary facts.

Between Antagonism and Continuities
The Crisis of Values in the Narrative of Rosario Castellanos
Authors: Luna Chávez Marisol , Díaz Arciniega Víctor
Published: July 2024

The power fight is an incessant topic in Rosario Castellanos’s narrative; here we consider it within the framework of the moral values of his time and society in Mexico (los Altos de Chiapas, 1935-45). The implicit axiological crisis permits us identify problems as: the rights to express the sexuality, the existence of a moral hierarchy inside the diverse social groups, and the complexities to interact between people who live in city and indigenous people. The latency of a social problem it’s a starting point for the narrator to investigate the techniques used by the characters to preserve and/or deal their rights.

Scenes of Listening
The Representation of Voice in María Moreno’s Chronicles
Authors: Viú Adagio Julieta
Published: July 2024

María Moreno developed, between the mid-seventies and the beginning of the eighties of the 20th century, an innovative aesthetic-journalistic proposal that seeks to inscribe her own voice in commissioned writing: she appropriates the so-called Society Section, representing other people’s voices, particularly those of celebrities. Conceiving the interview as the art of conversation, she constructs what we call ‘listening scenes’, in which she becomes an insightful chronicler of orality levels, who makes a literary use of statements by interviewees and that forces celebrities to share their notoriety.
On the Tragic Sense in Unamuno and Pessoa
“Les fois que l’impossible au nécessaire se joint”
Authors: Pasciolla Francesca
Published: July 2024

To confront two major writers and, indeed, thinkers of the Iberian Peninsula in the early 20th century is a challenge to be embraced, albeit with some circumspection. In the process, the tense relationship between the discourses of literary creation and philosophical musing will be broached. The evidence of any mutual awareness of their respective writings in the case of Miguel de Unamuno and Fernando Pessoa is scant. Whilst there is no recognition in the former of the latter, the Portuguese author certainly knew enough of the writings of the prolific Spaniard to have published several texts wherein he rejected the thinking of his near-contemporary. Close examination, however, reveals that the relationship between the writings of the two is complex enough to bear further scrutiny.

The Sieve of Translation
Reflections on the French Version of The Butcher Boy by Patrick McCabe
Authors: Boraso Silvia
Published: July 2024

This case study aims to analyse the difficulties a translator faces when dealing with a text that is built around the representation of oral language. In The Butcher Boy, the Irish author Patrick McCabe uses linguistic characterisation to confer social plausibility to his characters and builds the entire novel as a monologue the first-person narrator delivers in his own voice. The challenge such a variety of factors poses makes the translation of the book into any language an interesting subject of investigation. This contribution will draw a parallel between the original text and its French translation by focusing on the hermeneutic choices the translator has to make during the entire translating process.
From Russia with Love
The First Russian Studies on the Art of Southern Caucasus
Authors: Foletti Ivan , Rakitin Pavel
Published: July 2024

The article investigates the perception of the cultural and artistic production of the Southern Caucasus, after the annexation of Georgia in 1801, by three highly educated intellectuals of the time: the Metropolitan Evgeniy Bolkhovitinov, the historian Platon Ioseliani and the artist and architect Grigory Gagarin. Their writings reveal a latent concept of historical pre-eminence of the Caucasian region, and Georgia in particular, as a cultural and sacred outpost of two countries, the Byzantine Empire and the Empire of the Russian Monarchs of the 19th century.
Krikor (Grigor) Balakian’s Ruins of Ani
A Surprising Source for Armenian Architecture
Authors: Maranci Christina
Published: July 2024

KKrikor (Grigor) Balakian’s 1910 work, The Ruins of Ani (Ngarakrut‘iwn Anii Aweragnerun Badgerazart), documents the visit of the Armenian Catholicos Matt‘ēos Izmirlean (1845-1910) to Ani in 1909. Largely neglected by historians of architecture, The Ruins of Ani nevertheless offers an extraordinary account of the city and its monuments. After considering Balakian’s sources and scholarly perspectives, this paper explores his report on the buildings and the archaeological museum of Ani, highlighting discrepancies from the known record. Balakian’s often surprising remarks require careful scrutiny and cross-checking; at the same time, they highlight the value of any eyewitness source on Ani composed during the period of Russian control.

Biopolitical Horizons in the Performative Actions of Marina Abramović and Regina José Galindo
Authors: Valentini Matteo
Published: July 2024

Through performative act the artist’s body encounters many typologies of boundaries: the esthetic one, crossed in several moments in Art History, e.g. by the artists involved in Wiener Aktionismus; the politic one, exemplarily undermined by Marina Abramović Rhythm 0; the biological one, analyzed both by Stelarc in his posthuman experiments and by Regina José Galindo in performances such as Exalatión. This essay aims to give answers to the following questions: how do these encounters take place? What do they bring with them? Which is their very purpose?
Cornelis De Bie, the Gulden Cabinet and Still Life Painting and Genre Painting in Italy
The Cases of Francesco Noletti known as the Maltese, Mario dei Fiori, Grechetto, Michelangelo Cerquozzi and a Reflection on Pieter Boel and David De Coninck
Authors: Fiorentino Luca
Published: July 2024

This article spotlights the lives of Italian still life painters in one of the most important seventeenth-century Flemish source texts: Het Gulden Cabinet van de edel vry schilder-const by Cornelius De Bie (1662). This essay offers the first Italian translations of texts dedicated to these painters and examines the intrinsic motivations that led De Bie to choose them as the subject of his panegyrics. The writing underscores the connections De Bie must have had with information brought home by his father (who lived in Rome for years), with Gaspar Roomer and his collections, and with Italian art literature, to which he owed a debt as for information obtained and source documents. In addition, the article discusses the life of Pieter Boel, who spent many years in Italy, and of one of his best pupils, David De Coninck.
