«Voglio chiamarlo col suo nome». Sulla lingua di Johnny Freak (Dylan Dog #81)
Get PDFThe paper examines Johnny Freak, the 81st episode of the comic series starring the «investigator of nightmares» Dylan Dog. The volume, considered by both critics and readers to be one of the masterpieces of Italian comics, is characterised by a wide lexical variety, which, thanks also to rapid and sudden changes of tone, ranges in the space of a few balloons, from colloquial to standard Italian, from popular Italian to the so-called giovanilese. If one adds to the aforementioned the equally variegated spectrum of typically oral morphosyntactic phenomena reproduced in the book’s balloons, it is not daring to state that Johnny Freak represents a portrait of the mechanisms at work in the Italian language during the first half of the 1990s. At the same time, the volume also proves to be well ahead of its time in the reflection it imposes on the theme it deals with (physical disability), to which readers are called through the faithful reproduction of the linguistic uses of speakers, often brutals when related to issue addressed
Fraseologia e ideologia linguistica nel Dizionario Moderno di Alfredo Panzini
Get PDFThis paper explores the presence of phraseological expressions in Alfredo Panzini’s Dizionario Moderno, considering the first edition (1905) and the last edition edited by the author (1935). The rich phraseological variety of the dictionary reveals itself in various aspects: spoken and dialectal language, literary quotations, co-presence of various modern and ancient languages, specialist languages in their relationship with the common language. In the last paragraph, the essay analyses the role of phraseology in the light of Panzini’s linguistic ideas: according to the author, phraseological expressions are a vital and fundamental element of every language. Their presence in the Dizionario Moderno thus shows Panzini’s attention to the evolution of the Italian language in the first decades of the 20th century
Ci tene lingua, passa lu mare. Classificazione linguistica dei proverbi salentini legati al mare
Get PDFThe purpose of this investigation, conducted through the perusal of the Dizionario dei proverbi salentini (De Donno, 1996), is to group and analyze proverbs about the sea, in order to enhance their presence in the Salento linguistic and cultural tradition, through a classification of the proverbs themselves. The three different classifications proposed have been developed by Soletti, Franceschi, Sevilla and Cantera
Symbolic Imagology of Southern Italy in Soviet Literature
Get PDFThe article does not pretend to cover the topic in full. It focuses on little-known or forgotten works by Soviet-era writers, representatives of the pre-revolutionary Narodniki intelligentsia, and the so-called travelling companions, who were accepted by the Soviet authorities and created politically engaged foreign essays. The rigorism of the class campaign demanded the rejection of the cultural heritage of the past, but Italy persisted in the topoi and vocabulary of Soviet literature, inheriting and renewing the system of reception of its southern loci formed by the pre-revolutionary democratic discourse. The meta-symbol of the border, associated with the image of the Simplon tunnel, which took shape in Gorky’s Tales of Italy, served as a mechanism for further semiosis. Soviet travelogues and memoirs, as well as pre-revolutionary ones, contain in their plots the motif of crossing the border which appears as a fulfilment of the rite of initiation, burial and birth of planetary humanity. The Soviet Italiana, for all its ideological engagement, cannot and will not ignore the technical perfection of the ruined ancient monuments of southern Italy, nor the aesthetic heights reached by the art of the Italian Renaissance. The creative genius of Italy appears to the Soviet writer in the frame of the perfect natural world. And although the name of the Creator of this world is “forgotten”, the diversity of manifestations of the creative spirit that permeates every stone in Italy becomes the model of the cosmogonic myth that forms the basis of the “Italian text” of Soviet literature
A Case of Cameos: Classical Ekphrasis and The English Parnassian Movement
Get PDFThe English Parnassian Movement, a poetic trend spanning nearly two decades, from the 1870s to the late 1880s, still lacks a comprehensive critical assessment. In a bid to contribute to a more nuanced view of the Movement, this article focuses on its interartistic dimension, discussing the intersections of visual art with the poetic principles of English Parnassianism, and then re-considering the privileged link between Parnassian ekphrasis and classical antiquity. In doing so, it focuses on texts that have been generally neglected by critics. More in particular, I explore the metapoetic connotations of Graham R. Tomson’s literary-historical account of ancient epigrams, and then carry out a close reading of Austin Dobson’s poetic sequence A Case of Cameos (1877), which is a perfect example of the Parnassian ekphrastic trope of the poem as a carved precious stone. My article closes with an account of Andrew Lang’s deployment of the same trope in his sequence Cameos: Sonnets from the Antique (1884). On a first level, this article aims to add to the critical reflections on ekphrasis and interartistic modalities in Parnassian (and Victorian) poetry. On a second level, it seeks to analyze a few lesser-known Parnassian poems as well as to lay the ground for a much-needed systematic discussion of the classical components of the English Parnassian Movement. In this sense, my article may help fill two of the main gaps in the current scholarship on English Parnassianism, that is to say the overly restricted selection of poetic works that have come under textual scrutiny and an insufficiently systematized definition of the movement

Controllo romano e disciplinamento post-tridentino: resistenze liturgiche e pletora clericale nella Grecìa salentina tra XVI e XVIII secolo
Get PDFEnThe Hellenophone enclave of Terra d'Otranto resisted full Latin normalization for a long time. After the Council of Trent, despite returning under Roman control, the bishops struggled to bring Catholic orthodoxy back to the liturgical level and quickly eradicate the old customs of an ecclesiastical body that did not passively accept sacred celibacy. The phenomenon of married priests during the seventeenth century gradually disappeared through the canonical weapon of the assignment of benefits, while it persisted for married clerics, whose presence within parish churches became cumbersome for a good part of the eighteenth century.ItL'enclave ellenofona di Terra d'Otranto resiste a lungo alla piena normalizzazione latina. Dopo il Concilio di Trento, pur tornando sotto il controllo romano, i vescovi fanno fatica a riportare sul piano liturgico l'ortodossia cattolica e sradicare rapidamente i vecchi costumi di un corpo ecclesiastico che non accetta supinamente il celibato sacro. Il fenomeno dei preti ammogliati nel corso del Seicento si va progressivamente sgonfiando attraverso l'arma canonica dell'assegnazione dei benefici, mentre perdura per i chierici coniugati, la cui presenza all'interno delle chiese parrocchiali diventa ingombrante per buona parte del Settecento
