Materia-autore = Author-Matter
No full textThe etymology of the word author refers to an act of creation, an act of augmentation, from the Latin verb augere. Author instantiates creation, the expansion of the pre-existing. In 1967 Roland Barthes declared the death of the author in his famous essay to state once more that the crisis is that of the author as a single subjectivity and as a term that condenses prestige, undermined by the de-subjectivation strategies of automatism, fortuity and fragmentation of the historical avant-gardes, as well as by the machinic act and by the reproducibility of the second avant-gardes.
Fifty years after Barthes’ paradigmatic formula, this lack of authorship appears to be a successful brand. The ten- sions between the anomie of matter, the law that establishes authorship and the economy that makes the work pos- sible, invoke discordant perspectives. Artists make the self-destruction of their work the real work, and appeal is made for the demolition of architectures, whether by a recognised author or not, in order to re-design, or better still, re-claim the territory. Artificial intelligence consolidates its logics and its design by progressively shedding human ingenuity. The space of criticism becomes, finally, increasingly ephemeral. However, there is an acceptation of criti- cism that is, rather than an individual ‘signature’, an exploration and explanation of how design makes theory.
The binomial author-matter seeks to mark these tensions and contradictions: the featured term author is main- tained to underline the persistence of that prestigious subjectivity, at the very moment when the rhetoric of “mat- ter as an author” promises other forms of authorship

Deliberation and journalism
No full textThe first chapter in 'International Journalism and Democracy' re-examines current ideas about the role of journalism in promoting democracy, introducing the concept of "deliberative journalism". 'Deliberation and Journalism' lists the ways in which journalists can assist deliberation and politics in communities around the world. The chapter defines deliberation as a specific form of conversation that precedes and promotes decision-making and action by members of a community. The author recognises the difficulty of engaging in deliberation in communities that are divided by different interests, identities, backgrounds, resources and needs. She provides examples of strategies that journalists can use to encourage inclusive and productive deliberation in the face of community diversity.\ud

The chapter introduces examples of types of deliberative journalism that have emerged around the globe. These include strategies that have been sometimes been labeled as public journalism, civic journalism, peace journalism, development journalism, citizen journalism, the street press, community journalism, environmental journalism, and social entrepreneurism. The chapter also includes models of journalism that have not yet been given any particular name. Although the book identifies problems surrounding the theory and practice of these forms of journalism, the author notes that this is to be expected. Most models of deliberative journalism are relatively new, with none being more than a few decades old. The author concludes that resolution of these problems will only occur incrementally

Il Paesaggio in Grazia Deledda
No full textAbstract of the Thesis The utilization of landscape in Grazia Deledda. by Angela Cortes Master of Arts in Romance Languages and Literature Italian Stony Brook University 2011 Many authors and poets use landscape and nature to portray to the reader specific information regarding the characters, their feelings and thoughts, as well as the author\u27s own frame of mind, and the historical time frame of the novel. Other authors may use the landscape as a physical representation, to portray feelings and thoughts which could not be represented otherwise. Grazia Deledda, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1926, is one such author: she uses the landscape of her home town, Nuoro, and of her island, Sardegna, in her novels. This thesis analyzes how Deledda uses her scenery, its ultimate purpose, and whether or not she is consistent in her utilization of the Sardinian landscape and nature throughout her work. In order to provide an adequate theoretical background, I begin my analysis by considering how other Italian writers of the same historical period use nature in their works. In fact, Deledda is often associated with the writers of verismo and naturalismo of post-unification Italy because of their use of the landscape in an effort to accurately represent Italian regional societies. I chose to analyze three of Deledda\u27s novels, Canne al vento, La madre, and Elias Portolu, both for their commonalities and their diversities. The author uses the archaic Sardinian landscape and culture in similar ways across the various social components that make up her home town: the agricultural, the religious, and the animal grazing worlds. However, after analyzing these novels, I have come to the conclusion that her work differs from other writers of the naturalismo and the verismo movements, and as well as other writers and poets who rely on nature and landscape to relay their message to their readers. Deledda does not fit the profile of any particular movement and is in a class all her own. Where the veristi use the third person narrative to convey to the reader the social and cultural injustices into which man is born and from which he cannot escape, Deledda uses her Sardinian landscape as a window to man\u27s soul and depicts nature\u27s part in its formation, regardless of social status. Her characters are not trapped on a specific rung of the social ladder. Rather they are trapped in their own beliefs despite their social status; the landscape is used to give these beliefs an image that the reader can visualize. For this reason, the landscape in Deledda is at times another character, alive and with a personality of its own. This thesis will prove how Deledda uses all facets of the landscape that surrounds her to convey the physical, social, and historical environment in which her characters live. Most importantly, it will show that she uses it to accentuate the characters\u27 inner thoughts, feelings and actions, and how the characters are affected by that same landscape. Furthermore, this thesis will prove that Deledda\u27s use of the landscape does not remain consistent throughout her works. Instead, it becomes less descriptive and visual and more fantastic with her newer novels. She decreases her emphasis on color and integrates more sound and olfaction. Through the use of landscape, Deledda is able to create a realistic novel genre without precedence or succession. She captivates readers by creating characters they can relate to for the simple reason that these same characters are represented and described by a landscape that is vivid, alive and easily visualized by the readers, albeit the author\u27s own Sardinian landscape. Deledda\u27s description of nature is the physical representation of man\u27s thoughts and feelings

Food and eating in fiction since 1950 with particular reference to the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis.
No full textPhDEating is a fundamental activity. What people eat, how and with whom, what
they feel about food, what they do or do not want to eat and why - even who
they eat - are of crucial significance in any reading of human behaviour.
In this thesis, I consider the diverse and complex uses of food and eating
in fiction since 1950, especially that written by women. I argue both that food
and eating carry much of the meaning of a novel or story and that the acts of
cooking, feeding and eating depicted are inseparable from issues of power and
control: individually, interpersonally, culturally, politically.
My discussion centres on the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing,
Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory,
sociology, anthropology, Foucault, Bakhtin and others, the thesis aims to
construct an interdisciplinary perspective which both resists reductive
interpretations and emphasises the centrality, complexity and diversity of food
and eating in literature in our culture.
I begin with an examination of the ambiguities of maternal feeding and
nurturing, moving on to explore the links between appetite, eating and sexuality.
I explore cannibalism and vampirism as manifestations of oppression, but also as
indicating insatiable emptiness and transgressive appetite. The body itself is
crucial, and my argument considers the paradox of not eating as
control/enslavement, also tracing self-starvation as a positive route towards
wholeness and connection. The last part of my argument focuses on social
eating, examining conventions, rituals and food itself in connection with power
relations, and finally considers how we might truly speak of food and eating in
the context of society as a whole
