Fantastic Architecture and the Building of Europe in Valerio Evangelisti's Eymerich Fiction
No full textConcomitant with the horizontal expansion of EU territory through physical and political enlargement is a genealogy narrative, which emphasizes the ostensible roots of Europeanness in classical antiquity and Christianity. In the face of this sanitized genealogy, which lies at the heart of the European constitutional project, a range of alternative and more inclusive narratives circulate in contemporary European popular fiction. This paper focuses on a series of fantasy novels by the Italian author Valerio Evangelisti, featuring Inquisitor Eymerich as hero-investigator. In his highly popular novels, Evangelisti seeks to uncover layers of shared historical memory untainted with post-Enlightenment rhetoric.
The central architectural tropes of Evangelisti’s imaginary world are those of a castle and a convent, epitomizing the temporal and sacral power in European history. Each isolated from its outside environment and built on layer upon layer of subterranean chambers and corridors, the castle and the convent conceal a past quite different from the one championed in the official European genealogy. Memories of pagan worship and Islamic or Judaic learning – banished from the official rhetoric – continue to thrive, dark and threatening, in the subterranean strata of Evangelisti’s European edifice. Evangelisti thus provides an incisive critique of the official European story of origin, which threatens to suppress any alternative visions of European history or unorthodox avenues for European identity formation

L'arciere nell'antichità greca e romana : Mito, letteratura e storia
No full textE’ corrente opinione tra i filologi classici che dall’antichità arcaica i Greci abbiano espesso una sprezzante disistima dell’arciere, per lo più barbaro e sostanzialmente vile, uno che colpisce da posizione protetta , alieno da quello scontro ravvicinato, che caratterizza l’autentica prova del valore di un guerriero. In realtà si tratta di un’opinione, cui fa velo l’universale adesione del mondo greco, già a partire dal VII sec. a. C., alle modalità di combattimento di tipo oplitico. E se già in una fase arcaica, quella dell’epos omerico e del ciclo troiano, il combattente è di norma provvisto di un equipaggiamento, che prelude all’armatura di tipo oplitico, il guerriero “altro”, quale l’arciere, non è però di per sé oggetto di disistima. Ma il momento di svolta è la tragedia del V secolo a. C., che dopo aver avvalorato, con Eschilo e i suoi Persiani, un simbolico parallelismo tra la contrapposizione arco/spada e quelle oriente/occidente, barbaro/greco, riconosce l’utilità dell’arciere e se ne serve già a partire da Salamina e poi, massicciamente, nella guerra del Peloponneso: la controversia tra Menelao e Teucro nell’Aiace di Sofocle e tra Lico ed Anfitrione, nell’Eracle di Euripide rappresentano la consapevole assunzione della nuova realtà, proiettata nel mito, come sempre in tragedia.The current opinion among classical philologists is that in the archaic time, Greek people had a contemptuous disrespect about bowman: in fact they considered him barbaric and cowardly substantially, because he streaked from a secure location, avoiding the close range fighting, that, on the contrary, characterized a warrior’s value. This opinion, was born of the high concept which ancient Greeks had about hoplite combat mode, as early as the seventh century. If in the ancient time of Homeric epic and Trojan cycle the fighter had an equipment (that foreshadowed hoplite’s armor), a warrior “other” as bowman was not disesteemed. The turning point was the tragedy in the fifth century b. C.: Aeschylus, with his “Persians”, corroborated a symbolic opposition between bow / sword and East / West, barbarian / Greek, while Sophocles and Euripides recognized importance of arch (which was used in Salamis battle and then, massively, in the Peloponnesian War): the dispute between Menelaus and Teucer in Sophocles’ Ayax and that between Lycus and Amphitryon, in Euripides’ Heracles represent the conscious assumption of a new reality

Nel segno di Cadmo.Personaggi e situazioni delle "Fenicie" di Euripide
No full textLo strudio mostra che nelle Fenicie di Euripide un invisibile filo riporta la vicenda a Cadmo e che il destino di Tebe non dipende dalla sorte dei Labdacidi come nei Sette contro Tebe di Eschilo, è invece nelle mani degli uomini "seminati" dal suo fondatore. Gli eventi che diedero inizio al funesto destino di Tebe spiegano la scelta allusiva di Euripide di un Coro composto di donne feniicie . Poi, salvata Tebe, ha luogo la fine dei Labdacidi: al canto di Antigone è affidata con ogni probabilità la conclusione della Tragedia.The study shows that in the Euripides Phoenician women an invisible wire brings back up to Cadmus and that Thebes’ fate doesn’t depend on Labdacids’, as it results in the Seven against Thebes: it is instead, in the hands of the men “ seeded” by its own founder. The events that started Thebes’ hard luck, further explain the allusive Euripides’ choice of a Chorus composed by Phoenician women related with Cadmus’ line. Then, rescued Thebes, there will be Labdacids’ catastrophe: Antigone’s sing will extend over all: probably, as we can see, this is the real ending of the Tragedy
