    The Galician writer Begoña Caamaño in her book Morgana en Esmelle analyzes the theme of sorority, a term not yet accepted by the Real Academia Española, or female twinning or solidarity among women. Through her female character, punished for almost all of the history, the author seeks the change we should make in order to finished with the patriarchal system and give way to brotherhood among men and women. We can find the feeling of guilt in all the characters, so that repentance, punishment and remorse accompany them during their journey of initiation. The voice of the author is simultaneously a pessimistic and encouraging voice that Morgana uses to point out the social traditionalism anchored in some old and obsolete archetypes.La escritora gallega Begoña Caamaño en su libro Morgana en Esmelle analiza el tema de la sororidad, un término aún no aceptado por la Real Academia Española, o hermanamiento femenino o de solidaridad entre mujeres.

Asimismo, planea por la obra un sentimiento de culpabilidad en todos los personajes, de tal manera que el arrepentimiento, el castigo y el remordimiento los acompañan durante su viaje de iniciación. Cabe agregar la voz de la autora, una voz pesimista y alentadora simultáneamente, que se sirve de Morgana para señalar el costumbrismo social anclado en unos arquetipos antiguos y obsoletos.AbstractThe Galician writer Begoña Caamaño in her book Morgana en Esmelle analyzes the theme of sorority, a term not yet accepted by the Real Academia Española, or female twinning or solidarity among women.

    Morgana, la fata più celebre del mondo arturiano, assume nel poema di Boiardo il ruolo di Fortuna. Tale identificazione permette all'autore di riflettere, negli episodi in cui compare, su alcuni temi cardine dell'età medievale e rinascimentale, come il rapporto tra l'uomo e le ricchezze o il contrasto tra Virtù e Fortuna. Obiettivo del saggio è ricostruire la figura di Morgana nell' Inamoramento de Orlando ; particolare attenzione sarà dedicata alla celebre avventura del cavaliere nel regno della fata. E proprio dall'esame del suo «nuovo mondo» prenderà avvio l'analisi. Morgana, the most acclaimed fairy queen in the Arthurian tradition, assumes the role of Fortune in Boiardo's epic poem. Identifying her as such enables the author to use the episodes in which she appears as an opportunity to reflect on various key themes in the medieval and Renaissance periods, e.g. the relation between man and his possessions or the contrast between Fortune and Virtue. The aim of this essay is to reconstruct the figure of Morgana in Inamoramento de Orlando, dedicating particular attention to the knight's. well-known adventure within the realm of the fairy queen, and it is from an examination of this 'new world' that the analysis begins

    The English writer Rosalind Miles in her book Geneva, the first book of the trilogy of the Arthurian saga together with Lanzarote, the knight of the Sacred Lake and Galahad, the son of the Holy Grail, proposes to analyze the role of Morgana and Geneva and the dichotomy that occurs between the pagan traditions defended by both against the expansion of Christianity represented by Arthur and Merlin. A large part of the Arthurian matter novels emphasize the androgynous vision of society. However, the author, through the trilogy, exposes a totally different version of the role of the female characters. The women who show us the works, specifically the one that concerns us, are strong, independent and not subject to the designs of man and through her Rosalind Miles will provide us with a new feminine perspective of the Arthurian myth.La escritora inglesa Rosalind Miles en su libro Ginebra, el primer libro de la trilogía de la saga artúrica junto con Lanzarote, el caballero del Lago Sagrado y Galahad, el hijo del Santo Grial, plantea analizar el papel de Morgana y de Ginebra y la dicotomía que se presenta entre las tradiciones paganas defendidas por ambas frente a la expansión del cristianismo representado por Arturo y Merlín. Una gran parte de las novelas de la materia artúrica ponen de relieve la visión andrógina de la sociedad. Sin embargo, la autora, mediante la trilogía, expone una versión totalmente diferente del papel de los personajes femeninos. Las mujeres que nos muestran las obras, concretamente la que nos ocupa, son fuertes, independientes y no sometidas a las designios del hombre y a través de ella Rosalind Miles nos proporcionará una nueva perspectiva femenina del mito artúrico.

    Filippo FIMIANI, Occhi pieni e mani vaganti. Movimenti, emozioni, astrazioni, «Fata Morgana», 12/2010, pp. 147-164. ISSN 1970-5786. ITALIANO. Una piccola sequenza da un episodio della serie televisiva Mad Men in cui la relazione sensoriale emozionale tra lo spettatore e un corpo in movimento, precisamente un corpo danzante, è l’oggetto di questo articolo, che intende così verificare la cosiddetta naturalizzazione della fenomenologia e del corpo vissuto operata dalle scienze cognitive applicate agli studi visuali. L’autore mostra anche i rapporti tra la cosiddetta simulazione incarnata e una memoria simbolica e iconografica profonda, e discute in particolare la polarità tra proiezione e introiezione, attività e passività nell’esperienza empatica delle immagini in movimento.A short filmic example from the AMC's award-winning series Mad Men in which the sensorial and emotional relationship between the spectator and a moving body, i.e., a dancing body, is explicitly put into play. The essay wants to deal with the so called naturalization of phenomenology and of the living body, trained by the cognitive sciences reading the visuality. The author shows the relationship between the so called ‘embodied Simulation’ and a symbolic and iconographic deep memory of the pictures, and he gives an in-depth attention to the polarity between projections and introjections, activity and passivity of the spectator’s body during the empathic experience of the moving pictures

    Porta, o la passione teatrale

    L'attività teatrale di Carlo Porta è spesso considerata frutto episodico di una personalità eclettica, ma pur sempre dedita principalmente alla poesia. Fra i biografi e gli studiosi che si sono occupati di Porta, non molti si sono soffermati sull'assiduo lavoro condotto dall'autore per le scene e sulla attività di attore da lui svolta presso il Teatro Patriottico. La lettura degli abbozzi teatrali e della comitragedia Giovanni Maria Visconti duca di Milano, scritta a quattro mani con Tommaso Grossi, ci offrono la possibilità di ricostruire più da vicino un momento significativo della vita teatrale milanese nei primi due decenni dell’Ottocento.Carlo Porta’s theatrical activity is often considered the occasional creation of an eclectic personality mainly devoted to poetry. Among the biographers and scholars who have dealt with Porta, not many have focused on the assiduous work carried out by the author for the scenes and on his acting activity at the “Teatro Patriottico”. The reading of his theatrical sketches and of the tragicomedy Giovanni Maria Visconti duca di Milano, written jointly with Tommaso Grossi, offer us the opportunity to reconstruct more closely a significant moment of the Milanese theatrical life in the first two decades of the nineteenth century
