No full textMomo. Il demone cinico tra mito, filosofia e letteratura
No full textMomo, figlio della Notte, dáimon sospeso tra cielo, terra e inferi, cacciato dall’Olimpo per avere criticato le opere divine, è l’emblema irridente della mordacità e dello scherno. Come il filosofo cinico, negletto e viandante, ma pronto a scardinare ogni convenzione, mescolando il serio e il ridicolo in una tipica varietà del riso antico: lo spoudaion géloion. Tramandato nei secoli del cristianesimo dalle momerie, il demone riemerge con Leon Battista Alberti, recuperando le antiche valenze ciniche; di lì ripartono le vie cinque-seicentesche della satira lucianesca, da Erasmo a Rabelais, dal Lazarillo a Cervantes. Questo saggio prova a restituire la centralità perduta e occultata dell’area del riso cinico, vasto sistema circolatorio europeo alle origini della modernità, nel segno prevalente dell’opposizione erasmista
Mediologie decameroniane. Boccaccio e le origini dello spazio letterario moderno = Mediology of Decameron: Boccaccio and the origins of the modern literary space
Full text linkHow to read a classic of literature such as the Decameron through a mediological approach? According to a first reflection on the general structure of the work, the author investigates the reasons making the text a decisive moment of rupture and innovation in the history of communication and culture. Main issues concern: Firstly, the medium's invention we are used to calling "literature", through the abandonment of the late medieval forms of written textuality. Significant changes in the medium's structure are related with the silent reading spread, and with the new social life complexity in cities. Secondly, the awareness of the reality-phenomenon ambiguity, and the consequent need to face it through a full sensorial experience: With Boccaccio emerged a revanche of the image, imagination, eros, in contrast with the pressure of the logical order of the normative and allegorical writing, and that opposition was regulated giving narrative expression to open conflicts. Thirdly, the introduction of a particular storytelling technology based on the ambiguity of discourse and situations, being interpreted on several levels. Finally, the spaces metaphorical values: Florence, the plague city, as an overturning for a new necessary beginning; and the garden in the "cornice", as a recognition of the subject sensitive nature in its relationship with the world
Archetipi della serialità nella letteratura
Full text linkI “generi” – vale per la letteratura come per gli altri media - sono originati dalla permanenza sulla lunga durata di sistemi semiotici (i format) basati sulla continua reiterazione di una struttura narrativa secondo regole stabili e condivise, di ordine intratestuale, transtestuale, transmediale. Allenando e fidelizzando i destinatari, focalizzando e ri-mediando miti e immaginari collettivi essi consentono la rappresentazione e il controllo del conflitto sociale e intrapsichico. Gli archetipi della tecnologia seriale si sono accumulati nei secoli, e assai prima del romanzo “d’appendice” della metropoli erano arrivati a permeare tutti i processi culturali. Dall’ellenismo al romanzo cavalleresco, ai primi generi di consumo sei e settecenteschi, una complessa archeologia delle tecnologie seriali ci rivela la lunghissima durata di alcune “invenzioni” e la loro capacità di riemergere ancora oggi, nella factory televisiva, con il ritorno della saga o dell’intrigo politico tacitiano-barocco. In una dimensione sempre più globale e atemporale dell’immaginario collettivo.“Genres” – for literature as for other media - are originated from the long-term persistence of semiotic systems (“format”), based on continual reiteration of a narrative structure in compliance with stable and shared rules of intratextual, trans-textual and trans-media order. They allow the representation and control of social and intra-psychic conflicts by training and retaining audiences, and by focusing and re-mediating mythologies and imaginaries. Serial technology archetypes have emerged over many centuries; long before the metropolitan "feuilleton” novel, they had come to permeate all cultural processes, from the Hellenistic era to the romance of chivalry, until the early narrative entertainment genres in XVII and XVIII century. A complex archeological investigation of serial technologies reveals the long life of some "inventions" even coming up today in the television factory, for example the return of the saga and of the political Tacitus-Baroque intrigue, now within an increasingly global and timeless dimension of collective imagination

Full text linkSeriale, immersivo, industriale. Il barocco e l’invenzione del melodramma
Full text linkArchetypes of modernity are to be recognized in serial media developed during the first half of XVII century, when a proto-metropolitan social universe was evolving. According to a mediological standpoint, the case study of baroque opera allows to identify the basic characters of consumer genres, and to define connections among serialization, immersivity, virtualization, polisensoriality, hypertextuality, ibridation, chain and work organization, with a special focus on mass audience and on creative reuse of collective imaginary and metaphors. Baroque opera, created for public theatre with admission ticket, was the second pole of an entertainment integrated system consisting of the romance, with its “horizontal” and hypertextual attitude, and of the melodrama, with its immediate and fusional setup: i.e. romance and opera like the ancestors of radio-television fiction and cinema. The birth and rise of the medium “opera” needs to be historicized in the frame of a complex environment study: Venice, as the Italian capital of a cultural proto-industry; the Incogniti Academy as the most important European publishing and entertainment laboratory; and finally, the situation of freedom from censorship, which permitted to libertine network, with its special European relations, to produce new experimental genres often being heterodox on ethical and religious grounds
