Orhan Pamuk et la saga familiale : une réécriture des Buddenbrook
Get PDFCevdet bey et ses fils d’Orhan Pamuk représente la première importation dans le champ turc du genre de la saga familiale. Cet article étudie la manière dont Orhan Pamuk, à travers ce premier roman de famille, adapte le roman mannien au contexte turc. Il tente également de cerner les limites et les spécificités de l’adaptation-acculturation d’un modèle canonique du roman européen à la périphérie turque. Cevdet bey and his sons by Orhan Pamuk represents the first introduction into the Turkish literary field of the “family saga novel” genre. This article focuses on the way Orhan Pamuk, through this first family novel, adapts the Mannian novel to the Turkish context. It also tries to figure out the limits and the specificities of the adaptation-acculturation of a canonical model of the European novel at the Turkish periphery
Business Literature. Letteratura Aziendale: a Semiotic Interpretation of the Italian Literature on the Theme of Work spanning 20 years (1995-2015)
Get PDFThis paper proposes a semiotic model for research in the field of Italian literature on the theme of work for the years 1995-2015. Focusing on Greimas’ theory of semiotic squares and on the actantial model, I focused on three basic relationships within the labour market: the contrast between stories in the context of the factory and the office, between local and global settings, and between the inclusion and exclusion of the worker-figure. I obtained a general structure of the story comprising a sequence of six events: admission, convocation, trauma (or loosening of work relationships), suspension, rescue (true or false), and inertia
I lettori di Platone. L’influenza di Iser sugli studi platonici e alcune possibili nuove prospettive
Get PDFNegli ultimi decenni i dialoghi di Platone sono stati sempre più spesso studiati da una prospettiva letteraria. Anche la teoria del reader’s response e l’opera critica di Iser hanno influenzato gli studi platonici. L’obiettivo dell’articolo non è soltanto mostrare i debiti di questi studi nei confronti di questa teoria, ma rilevare alcuni problemi relativi alle pratiche di lettura antiche. Questa discussione potrà contribuire a chiarire alcuni aspetti della polemica platonica nei confronti della poesia e della scrittura e illustrare ulteriori direzioni di ricerca

Creación y traducción en la España romántica (1830-1850)
Get PDFEn este artículo se analiza la relacion entre creación y traducción en la España romántica (1830-1850), prestando atención a diversas manifestaciones sobre la relación entre ambas actividades. Se presta particular atención a las reflexiones de autores como Larra, Bretón de los Herreros, Hartzenbusch y Ochoa, los cuales compaginaron tanto la creación con la actividad traductora, lo que les sitúa en una situación privilegiada para expresar sus opiniones, pero también en una situación un tanto contradictoria, pues a menudo tanto alaban como critican esa actividad que ellos mismo practican
Revolution and Exploration: the English Translations of Rousseau and Humboldt by Helen Maria Williams
Get PDFBritish author Helen Maria Williams (1759-1827) was a well-known figure in the eighteenth century literary circles, whose work was praised by Elizabeth Montagu, Samuel Johnson, Dorothy and William Wordsworth, Mary Wollstonecraft, Hester Piozzi or Alexander von Humboldt. In her early poems Edwin and Eltruda (1782), An Ode to the Peace (1783) and Peru (1784), Williams starts to reveal her political tendencies by appealing to strong empathic feelings as a key to social and political transformation. As a result of her interest in politics, she travelled to France in 1790 and published her most acclaimed work Letters from France (1790). However, the rest of her production has received little critical attention by modern scholars, who have overlooked her involvement in translation. Williams’ only extant novel, Julia (1790) is in fact a creative translation of Rousseau’s Julie ou La Nouvelle Héloïse (1761), in which Williams includes poems that evidence her interest in revolutionary politics. Four years later, she translated Bernardin de Saint Pierre’s Paul et Virginie, while she was imprisoned in Paris. While translating novels was regarded as a respectable exercise for women writers, Williams challenges gender assumptions by translating Researches (1814) and the seven volumes of Personal Narrative (1814-1829), which had been produced by one of the most influential eighteenth century scientists, Alexander von Humboldt. This article interrogates how Williams makes use of translation to access areas of knowledge traditionally restricted to men, such as philosophy, politics and science. For this purpose, I will focus on her translations of the work of two leading intellectual figures of the eighteenth century, Rousseau and Von Humboldt
L’eroe della coscienza? Astolfo e lo sguardo sul mondo nell’Orlando furioso
Get PDFLe vicende narrate nell’Orlando furioso di Ludovico Ariosto assorbono la riflessione umanistica e rinascimentale sulla formazione dell’individuo, sulla sua interazione con l’ambiente naturale e sociale, sulle strategie di contenimento dell’azione disgregante delle passioni. Il saggio propone di leggere nel discorso psicologico contenuto nel Furioso la rappresentazione di un processo del sé che oltrepassa il contesto storico e il dibattito contemporaneo, per intercettare alcune costanti antropologiche e biologiche. In particolare, l’opera sembra stilizzare e dare forma ai processi di emersione della coscienza non in quanto dispositivo etico-morale, ma in quanto consciousness, costruzione del sé a partire da uno stadio istintuale e pulsionale. Nella complessità dell’intreccio ariostesco si manifesta infatti la tensione tra stati di esistenza puntiformi e discontinui e una percezione del sé coerente e stabile. Il faticoso districarsi dei personaggi dalla selva di desideri ricorsivi che li imprigionano può essere messo in relazione con le condizioni biologiche dalle quali si origina la coscienza, con la genesi corporea e sensoriale del sé. Sullo sfondo di questa analogia, il saggio analizza il modo in cui nell’economia narrativa del poema Astolfo diventa testimone e strumento di un’ipotesi di continuità della coscienza. Trasformato dalla maga Alcina in mirto, Astolfo entra nel poema emergendo da un’esperienza di degradazione morale e biologica. Riconquistata la forma umana, affronta e sconfigge diverse manifestazioni della dismisura, del mostruoso, dell’informe, della mutevolezza e dell’instabilità. È chiamato a dissolvere il palazzo di Atlante, e a recuperare il senno di Orlando: liberando i cavalieri dalle loro ossessioni ripetitive e dando la possibilità alle loro storie di dispiegarsi, Astolfo, l’eroe tradizionalmente incosciente, diventa funzione del prodursi della coscienza. Che non dipende, come dimostrano le sue avventure «fortunose», determinate dal caso e modellate dalle circostanze, da un atto supremo della volontà, ma da un’elaborazione contingente e flessibile dell’esperienza. Lo statuto anomalo del personaggio ariostesco, il suo sguardo sul mondo sempre dislocato, il suo percorso dalla profondità della materia alla rarefazione del pensiero, testimonia del tentativo, percepito in tutta la sua precarietà, di sollevarsi dalle emergenze nucleari per approdare a una dimensione compiuta della coscienza. The Hero of Consciousness? Astolfo and the viewpoint over the world in the Orlando furiosoThe events narrated within Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando furioso assimilate the humanistic debate on the formation of the individual, his interactions with natural and social environment, his strategies of containment of the disrupting action of passions. The present essay reads in the psychological discourse developed within the Furioso the representation of a process of the self overstepping the historical context and its debate, to intercept some anthropological and biological constant. Particularly, Ariosto’s work stylizes and gives shape to the emergence of consciousness, not as an ethic and moral entity but as a building process of the self moving from an instinctual and pulsional dimension. Indeed, in the complexity of the plot is represented the tension between punctual and discontinuous stage of beeing and a stable and coherent self-perception. The laborious disentanglement of characters from the wood of their recoursive desires relies to the biological conditions originating consciousness, the bodily and sensory origin of the self. Grounding on this analogy, the essay analyzes how in the poem Astolfo becomes both a witness and an instrument of an hypothesis of persistence of consciousness. Changed in myrtle by the sorceress Alcina, Astolfo enters the poem emerging from an experience of moral and biological degradation. Reconqured the human shape, Astolfo faces and defeats different expressions of disproportion, monstruosity, shapelessness, varability and instability. He has to dissolve Atlante’s palace, and to recover Orlando’s wits: releasing knights from their recurring obsessions and giving deployment to their stories, Astolfo, the traditionally thoughtless hero, becomes a function of the generation of consciousness. Which, as revealed by Astolfo’s «aventurose» escapades, shaped by chance and circumstances, doesn’t depend on a strong act of his will, but on a flexible and incidental elaboration of the experience. The anomalous status of the character, his displaced gaze on the world, his path from the depth of matter to the height of thought, witnesses the precarious attempt to raise from the nuclear emergences of life, thus achieving the fulfillment of consciousness
Le forme dell\u27innocenza: un\u27indagine sulle fiabe romanzo di fine Ottocento
Get PDFQuesto lavoro fornisce una spiegazione teorica dell’ambivalenza formale di tre romanzi fiabeschi scritti a cavallo tra Ottocento e Novecento: Alice’s adventures in Wonderland (1865) di Lewis Carroll, Le avventure di Pinocchio. Storia di un burattino (1881) di Carlo Collodi e Peter Pan (1912) di James M. Barrie. Viene illustrato il processo tramite cui fiaba e romanzo si contaminano al punto che l’una è assimilata all’altro; sono infine prese in considerazione questioni legate, essenzialmente, all’avvento della psicanalisi, che forniscono una prospettiva da cui osservare questi testi come un momento di transizione formale tra il fantastico e il soprannaturale classici dell’Ottocento e le sperimentazioni moderniste e avanguardiste. This essay gives a theoretical explanation of the formal ambivalence of three novels which present fairytale characteristics, written among the end of nineteenth century and early twentieth century: Alice’s adventures in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll, Le avventure di Pinocchio. Storia di un burattino by Carlo Collodi (1881) and Peter Pan (1912) by James M. Barrie. The work gives account of the formal process by which the two genres are mixed with each other; eventually, some relevant problems connected to the born of psycoanalysis are considered, in order to suggest a subterranean formal link between classical nineteenth-century literature on supernatural and the modernist Avant-garde sensibility towards it
