Malicious Dwarfs, Fair Nymphs, Heroic Gods. Application and Transformation of Germanic Mythology in Richard Wagner’s libretto «The Rhinegold»
According to Joachim Heinzle, the Nibelungensage represents the «most German among all German issues». The following essay seeks to analyze in how far the German composer Richard Wagner resorts either to a more traditional or to a more innovative representation of the Germanic influences in his libretto The Rhinegold, which is the opening part of his operatic tetralogy The Ring of the Nibelungen. Moving from an epistemological basis, the libretto will be examined with a special focus on how Wagner applies and transforms Germanic mythology in terms of the characters and of deictic references

Lo sguardo di Saturno. Critica della modernità e regimi scopici in «Die Ringe des Saturn» di W. G. Sebald
Following the footsteps of Horkheimer and Adorno’s Dialektik der Aufklärung, W. G. Sebald’s Die Ringe des Saturn develops a particular indictment of Enlightenment rationality, which manifests itself primarily as a critical examination of the three most prominent “scopic regimes” of the modern era: the “Cartesian Perspectivalism”, the “Descriptive paradigm” of Dutch seventeenth-century Art, and the “Baroque” visual culture. The critical exploration of these visual strategies stands in as representative for wide epistemological problems related to the rational ordering and organization of human thought and knowledge
Uno spazio tutto per sé. La poetica degli «Ingolstädter Stücke» dal punto di vista di Marieluise Fleißer
Although the Fleißer-Forschung has always emphasized the link between Marieluise Fleißer and the strong personalities she worked with in the Weimar period, little attention has been paid to her active role as a playwright. This paper aims to demonstrate the original value of Fleißer’s artistic project by adopting Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of cultural production. The analysis of Fleißer’s “position-takings” in the Ingolstädter Stücke unravels the personal viewpoint from which her aesthetic choices are defined, as well as the “differential signification” of her poetics within the literary field
