And What About Children?: Representations of Infant Migration in Latino/a Cinema
No full textThe conceptualization of the border as a living, fresh wound has become the foundation of numerous studies that have described and tackled the issue of immigration from myriad perspectives: social, economic, cultural, and political, among others. Similarly, this ‘herida abierta’ has been the focus of diverse written, visual, and aural representations, in artistic manifestations of all kinds. In particular, in the case of Latino/a cinema, the act of migrating has been exposed in movies such as El Norte and/or Sin Nombre, among others. However, as noted by Katharine M. Donato Vanderbilt and Blake Sisk, “although studies point to children and young adults in the Mexico-US migration process, most do not focus on children’s experiences per se” (2015, 61). Following this line of thought, this essay intends to explore the way immigration (understood as a process which involves a point of departure, a journey, and the arrival and settlement of migrants) is represented in Latino/a cinema, paying special attention to the way children are affected by it. The essay will look at several audiovisual texts, ranging from the documentary film Which Way Home, to movies such as Under the Same Moon and Entre Nos
Casimir Delavigne e Venezia
No full textRiassunto: Venezia, che Casimir Delavigne visitò nel giugno del 1826, fu città che il viaggiatore amò in modo del tutto particolare. Oltre alla «Promenade au Lido», composta nel ricordo di lord Byron e pubblicata subito dopo il suo ritorno nelle Messéniennes nouvelles e alla tragedia di Marino Faliero, destinata a un enorme successo sul teatro della Porte-Saint-Martin nel 1829, Venezia gli ispirò alcuni componimenti minori, apparsi dopo la sua morte nei Derniers Chants, che ci rivelano aspetti meno noti ma altrettanto interessanti della sua indole umana e poetica.Parole chiave: Casimir Delavigne, Venezia, Marino Faliero, tragedia, componimenti poeticiAbstract: Venice, which Casimir Delavigne visited in June 1826, was a city that the traveler loved in a very particular way. In addition to the «Promenade au Lido», composed in the memory of Lord Byron and published on the Messéniennes nouvelles, and the tragedy of Marino Faliero, destined for a huge success on the theater of Porte-Saint-Martin in 1829, Venice inspired him some minor compositions, appeared after his death in the Derniers Chants, which reveal lesser-known but equally interesting aspects of his human and poetic disposition.Key words: Casimir Delavigne, Venice, Marino Faliero, Tragedy, Poetical Work
