Memoria, identità e materialità dello spettacolo sacro nella Ferrara di Ercole I d’Este
No full textLa comunità scientifica internazionale dedica il volume monografico Il teatro tra Quattrocento e Seicento a Konrad Eisenbichler, studioso raffinato e critico acuto, che attraverso i testi e le rappresentazioni teatrali coglie la profondità e la varietà infinita delle scene di vita quotidiana, un chiasmo di riso e pianto, come Giordano Bruno avverte nel frontespizio del Candelaio, «In tristitia hilaris, in hilaritate tristis», motto elevato da Pirandello a emblema dell’Umorismo. Il volume raccoglie i contributi di Nerida Newbigin, Francesca Bortoletti, Anna Maria Testaverde, Gianni Cicali, Matteo Leta, Michel Plaisance, Johnny L. Bertolio, Maria Galli Stampino, Rosalind Kerr, Pasquale Sabbatino, Francesco Divenuto, Ambra Moroncini, che hanno aderito con entusiasmo all’invito di festeggiare la lunga attività di ricerca e insegnamento di Konrad Eisenbichler presso l’Università di Toronto, in occasione dei settantacinque anni, rendendo affettuosamente omaggio al Maestro, all’amico e al collega

No full textThe present double special issue reworks upon, and includes a selection of, essays by leading scholars and presented at a two-stage conference on Memory and Performance: Classical Reception in Early Modern Festivals (Parma: 10-14/10/22; London: 20-24/02/23), organised by Bortoletti and Di Martino and with Refini as respondent. The aim is to investigate festivals as a most important form of early modern performance culture and as a privileged mode of transmission and re-elaboration of Greco-Roman textual and non-textual material into early modern written and performance cultural practices.
Renaissance festivals are one of the major focuses of early modern studies and have recently been at the centre of renewed scholarly interest and interdisciplinary discussions. These festive occasions and civic rituals played a fundamental role in Renaissance society, presenting intangible, yet crucial, aspects of early modern life and memory.
Festivals should be seen as the product of a highly performative context that extended beyond the vernacular dramatic traditions that were being formed between the 15th and the 18th centuries in some parts of the European and American continents. By means of music, poetry and drama, and the visual arts, these festivals appropriated and enmeshed Graeco-Roman mythologies as well as theatrical and textual material into local, national and experimental performing practises, through which they gave voice to political tensions as well as documented transcultural exchanges across the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.
The proposed double issue investigates festivals as a privileged place of memorability and channel of transmission of Greco-Roman textual and non-textual culture into early modern performance culture through the examination of the material that documents their existence, their spatial and textual outlines, as well as the individual and collective memories contained therein.
The first part focuses on how Graeco-Roman architecture and performance culture grounded the spatial and political dimensions of performance in early modern festivals. The second part focuses on the textual traces of Graeco-Roman myths and scripts in early modern theatrical and dramaturgical practices. The period considered ranges from the 15th to the 18th centuries and includes the European and American continents

Venezia, la ‘Festa Mobile’: per un atlante in fieri. Luoghi, figure e forme della favola antica nel primo Rinascimento
Full text linkWhen trying to handle historical data, it can be confusing and frustrating for the reader to view and understand the information behind the documents. This is where digital technologies can be extremely useful: the article illustrates the ongoing work of a group of scholars for the creation of the atlas “FRIDA” whose objective is to represent all the events linked to Venice in the period between 1450 and 1550, using the famous bird’s eye view of Venice, printed by Jacopo de Barbari in 1500 as a geographical base for mapping events. All information related to civic-religious feasts, wedding parties, Carnival, funerals, occasional parties for passages of illustrious guests, triumphal entries, processions, banquets, liturgical ceremonies, dances, music, tournaments, jousting and theatrical performances of comedies, farces and tragedies of which spatial information was available have been linked to places on the map. The main idea is to visualize the complexity of “mobile feasts” (a description borrowed from Ernest Hemingway), exceeding the limits of the information list. In this way it was possible to begin to identify the places of events, the movements of the processions in the city space, but also the connection of the individual performances, the network of actors and artefacts — images, poems — in the Venice of Marin Sanudo. The Venetian diarist is in fact the main source of information at the base of the mapping made in the interactive atlas which, through three different levels of analysis, manages to bring together the historical, geographical and literary, visual and sound objects that we track in the pages of the Diarii

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
