Sexual Violence in The Miseries and the Misfortunes of War by Jacques Callot (1633)
No full textThe Miseries and the Misfortunes of War (1633) by Jacques Callot is one of the most significant artistic reflections on multiple, fracturing military conflicts in seventeenth-century Europe. In this series of eighteen etchings, the question of wartime sexual violence arises as a part of Callot’s engagement with the subject of pillaging soldiers. This is the only time in Callot’s œuvre that he represents rape; it is also the only time that he represents a domestic interior. As this article argues, Callot’s representation of wartime rape reflects increasingly intertwined conceptualizations of the household and female sexuality—and its potential violation.Les Misères et les Malheurs de la guerre (1633) de Jacques Callot sont l’une des plus importantes réflexions artistiques sur les multiples conflits militaires ayant divisé l’Europe au XVIIe siècle. Dans cette série de dix-huit gravures, la question de la violence sexuelle en temps de guerre est traitée à travers le sujet des soldats pilleurs. Il s’agit de la seule représentation du viol – et d’un intérieur domestique – dans l’œuvre de Callot. Comme le soutient le présent article, cette représentation du viol en temps de guerre reflète les conceptualisations de plus en plus imbriquées de la sphère domestique et de la sexualité féminine – ainsi que la menace qui pèse sur cette dernière

The One Is the Many: Buddhist Relational Holism in Uno e altri amori by Carlo Coccioli
No full textThe literary production of Carlo Coccioli in the 1980s is characterized by a growing interest in Hinduism and Buddhism, supported by and in turn reinforcing his strong sense of compassion and proximity towards more-than-human forms of life. In particular, in the collection of short stories Uno e altri amori (1984), animals represent a comforting spiritual presence that remains persistent even as the religious and spiritual framing evolves. This essay discusses Coccioli’s horizontal relationship with animals in the light of a relational holism that derives from the author’s interest in Buddhism, in which the absolute and the relative, as well as the one and the many, are conceived in relations of mutual determination. The analysis focuses specifically on three short stories from Uno e altri amori—“Se ci fosse, si saprebbe,” “L’asciugamano di spugna,” and “Salmo XXIII (o theological spiders)”—in which questions of faith are overtly foregrounded, at the same time situating the collection as a whole in the context of Coccioli’s key texts of the 1980s and 1990s: La casa di Tacubaya (1982), Piccolo Karma (1987), and Budda e il suo glorioso mondo (1990)
