Il collasso del dramma: cosa rimane?
Get PDFThe Neo-avantgardes of the 20th century left an indelible mark on the idea of theatre, establishing once and for all the concept of drama as a theatrical form, historically defined and based on identifiable criteria. The script as an end in itself was either dismissed – and pure performance was thus preferred –, or it was used as a device or starting point for what was occurring on stage in the hybrid, experimental theatrical forms. The role of playwrights – and therefore that of the script as an independently meaningful structure – fell into a deep crisis. By coming to grips with the new experiences, playwrights were able to explore new modes of textual expression, putting their art back on the right track. What dimensions do the categories of drama take on today? What are the new literary devices and techniques that contemporary playwrights can adopt? In order to try and answer these questions, we will analyse the script La demande d’emploi (The job application) by Michel Vinaver. Although written in 1971 – therefore, at the very beginning of the mentioned revolutionary period –, it already presents very important features of a type of playwriting that can be qualified as post-dramatic, like almost the entirety of the playwright’s work. We will explore and develop concepts like fragment, movement and polyphony, that can be frequently encountered in contemporary theatrical texts and with which both scholars and theatre professionals have to come to terms
Conflitto sintomatico nelle immagini sceniche
Get PDFPaper aims to show how traditional dramaturgic concepts can be re-used to study a dramaturgy of image in the contemporary theatrical forms. When dialogue, action and conflict appear into the image, they highlight a dramaturgic movement towards the spectator. We also remark that mimesis and recognition are questioned, and emotions tend to replace comprehension. It could also be claimed that there is a symptom-effect in perception, if we open the argument to psychoanalysis, as G. Didi-Huberman claimed, as well as to Bachelard’s “reader-dreamer” model
La pratica attoriale in Richard Schechner: dalla sensazione all’essere. Sulle tracce della fenomenologia di Merleau-Ponty
Get PDFAgainst Cartesian dualism and in line with the general twentieth-century rediscovery of body and perception, this paper aims to examine the role of senses for the performer, as presented by Richard Schechner’s theory of performance. Such a theory finds its legitimacy in the pages of the philosopher Mearleu-Ponty, and in the priority the philosopher assigned to perception and senses as sources of knowledge, as well as opening of consciousness to the world
Spazio e percezione nella ricerca di Massimo Bartolini
Get PDFThis paper aims at providing a thorough examination of one possible interpretations of the relationship between art and senses within the field of contemporary visual arts, through a specifically identified case study: Massimo Bartolini’s works. In particular, a selected number of works based on synaesthesia has been chosen (Casa di Francesca Sorace, 1993; Mixing Parfums, 2000; El Jardì de Roses, la Font de Pedres, 2007; La strada di sotto, 2011): these projects concern environmental distortion aiming to redefine the perception of space questioning the usual and established modalities of fruition
Fautes, ombres, reflets et montages. Les surimpressions entre Nouvelle Vision et Surréalisme
Get PDFShadows and reflections, which often mistakenly appear in the photographs, as superimposition – that technique consisting in impressing many times a sensitive surface over and over or in the overlap of two or more negative during development –, may be included within the framework of the transfiguration process of the error and the rediscovery of the artistic and expressive potential of the photographic medium that strongly concerned the 1920\u27s avant-garde

La vita oltre lo schermo: La rosa purpurea del Cairo
No full textIl cinema è sogno e la settima arte può essere intesa innanzitutto come qualcosa che ci permette di sognare ad occhi aperti; tramite identificazione e proiezione, lo spettatore vive le emozioni e le situazioni dei personaggi rappresentati sullo schermo, sfuggendo alla propria realtà e vivendone temporaneamente un’altra. Woody Allen nel suo film del 1985, La rosa purpurea del Cairo, va oltre: riflettendo sull’unione tra cinema e sogno, tra l’arte di vivere e l’arte di sognare porta la sua protagonista dentro lo schermo alla scoperta di un mondo finto, ma perfetto
La lezione di Tucidide nell’opera hobbesiana
No full textLa prima opera pubblicata da Hobbes è la traduzione della Guerra del Peloponneso di Tucidide. Nonostante la prima fase della produzione hobbesiana venga spesso sottovalutata o trattata come una fase a sé stante, la frequentazione, l\u27assimilazione e l\u27apprezzamento del lavoro del grande storico greco non solo hanno contribuito in maniera decisiva alla genesi del pensiero di Hobbes, ma si fanno anche sentire con forza e continuità nel corso del tempo, tanto nell\u27antropologia quanto nella filosofia politica hobbesiane, d’altronde indissolubilmente legate. L\u27acquisizione della lezione di Tucidide emerge inoltre addirittura in maniera esemplare in una delle ultime opere di Hobbes, il Behemoth
Aspetti del comico nel Corpus Lysiacum: il Witz
No full textPoiché, come già sottolineava Gorgia, il riso può essere un’utile arma nelle mani di un abile oratore, l’articolo indaga la presenza del Witz all’interno del Corpus Lysiacum e propone una rassegna di esempi, organizzati e analizzati sulla base dell’artificio retorico utilizzato nella costruzione del motto arguto (in particolare, antitesi, paradosso, iperbole, metafora). Anche in quest’àmbito, trovano conferma l’equilibrio e la misura attici, abitualmente riconosciuti a Lisia
Per un’altra retorica della φιλοτιμία: voci femminili, uomini politici e discorsi pubblici. Considerazioni sulla presenza dell’etera nell’opera di Platone
Get PDFThe purpose of my paper is to express effective hypotheses on the character of the hetaira in some of Plato’s dialogues, particularly in the Symposium – where its presence is implicit in the role of Alcibiades as the lover – and in the Menexenus, my starting point to investigate the character of Aspasia, the greatest courtesan of ancient Greece. I will also underline the relation between the courtesan and the sophistic rhetoric. My final remarks will provide some concise analysis of the history of women and of gender studies in Italy
