«Ti prometto che tornerò»: il sodalizio Valli-Comi
Get PDFEnThe essay reviews the numerous studies that Donato Valli has dedicated over the years to the Salentine poet Girolamo Comi (1890-1968), making a decisive contribution to the understanding and enhancement of his poetry. Valli's critical interventions are based not only on the thorough and precise analysis of Comi's works, but also on the direct, almost daily, attendance of the baronial palace of Lucugnano, at the time the seat of the «Accademia salentina», an outpost, deep inside South, of the best Italian culture after World War II. Valli was welcomed into that exclusive environment already at a very young age, and from there, as he recalled in his late essay-memorial, Chiamami maestro. Vita e scrittura con Girolamo Comi (2008), he will begin his literary vocation.ItNel saggio si passano in rassegna i numerosi studi che Donato Valli ha dedicato nel tempo al poeta salentino Girolamo Comi (1890-1968), contribuendo in maniera decisiva alla comprensione e alla valorizzazione della sua poesia. Gli interventi critici di Valli si basano, oltre che sull'approfondita e puntuale analisi delle opere di Comi, anche sulla frequentazione diretta, quasi quotidiana, del palazzo baronale di Lucugnano, all'epoca sede dell'«Accademia salentina», avamposto, nel profondo Sud, della migliore cultura italiana del secondo dopoguerra. Valli venne accolto in quell'ambiente esclusivo già in giovanissima età, e proprio da lì, come ricorderà nel tardo saggio-memorale Chiamami maestro. Vita e scrittura con Girolamo Comi (2008), inizierà la sua vocazione letteraria

No full textMultiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, degenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by progressive neurological decline over time. The need for better "biomarkers" to more precisely capture and track the effects of demyelination, remyelination, and associated neuroaxonal injury is a well-recognized challenge in the field of MS. To this end, visual evoked potentials (VEPs) have a role in assessing the extent of demyelination along the optic nerve, as a functionally eloquent CNS region. Moreover, VEPs testing can be used to predict the extent of recovery after optic neuritis (ON) and capture disabling effects of clinical and subclinical demyelination events in the afferent visual pathway. In this review, the evolving role of VEPs in the diagnosis of patients with ON and MS and the utility of VEPs testing in determining therapeutic benefits of emerging MS treatments is discussed
“I beg you to tell me what has become of Djamila”: The Political Mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s Readers During the Boupacha Affair
No full textBy Sophia Millman This is a condensed version of a Masters thesis dedicated to the political mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s readers. The citations from the letters were translated from French by the author. *** On June 2, 1960, the French government ordered all copies of the daily Algiers edition of Le Monde seized and destroyed to suppress the publication of Simone de Beauvoir’s article “Pour Djamila Boupacha.” Beauvoir, a self-professed “woman of letters”, not “of action[1]”, and one ..
A comparative study of form and theology in the works of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil
Get PDFIn this comparative study of the form and theology of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil I interrogate how Weil's philosophical writings and her theology illuminate O'Connor's use of both narrative and non-fictional forms, and her Catholicism. The Introduction analyses how Weil's concept of superposed reading provides a new method of approaching both O'Connor, her writings, and O'Connor
studies, and focuses on how such apparently different women interconnect. Chapter One explores how both Weil and O'Connor attempt to write their theologies on the
souls of their readers yet are each subject to constraints imposed by form. Weil's concept of locating equilibrium between incommensurates is discussed, and her
distinctively philosophical approach to fictions and fictionality is used to investigate O'Connor's notion of prophetic fictions and the writer's role. Chapter Two assesses how both writers revivify Christian paradoxes. Weil's monstrous concept of affiiction, and O'Connor's use of the grotesque genre to jolt secular man into an
awareness of the sacred are scrutinised. Chapter Three studies how both writers consider an encounter between God and man is possible through the action of grace. My Conclusion interrogates how Weil's work can deepen our understanding of O'Connor's writings, and examines how successful O'Connor is at realising a truly
Christian literature. I conclude that despite being a writer of powerful fictions, O'Connor can not be totally successful in her mission as writer-prophet because
ultimately fiction escapes orthodoxy
