A self-conscious Kurt Vonnegut: an analysis of Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five and Breakfast of Champions
No full textThe works of Kurt Vonnegut stand as seminal in the American literary canon. Looking at three of his most influential novels, namely Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five and Breakfast of Champions, this study aims to better understand the mechanisms which inform his fiction. Working chronologically through the novels, the study examines historical context, narrative technique, theoretical underpinnings and the social critique of each novel. Guided by an idea of the postmodern novel the study examines how these elements interact, concluding that by way of what may be considered "simple" yet self-conscious metafiction and prose as well as variations in narrative technique, Vonnegut is able to more accurately convey his opinions on the American situation as well as demonstrate his stance on the role of fiction and the writer in contemporary society. The study also considers closely the role of the reader and the author/reader/text relationship

Genidentity and Topology of Time: Kurt Lewin and Hans Reichenbach
No full textIn the early 1920s, Hans Reichenbach and Kurt Lewin presented two topological accounts of time that appear to be interrelated in more than one respect. Despite their different approaches, their underlying idea is that time
order is derived from specific structural properties of the world. In both works, moreover, the notion of genidentity--i.e., identity through or over time--plays a crucial role. Although it is well known that Reichenbach borrowed this notion from Kurt Lewin, not much has been written about their relationship, nor about the way Lewin implemented this notion in his own work in order to ground his topology. This paper examines these two early versions of the topology of time, and follows the extent of Lewin’s influence on Reichenbach’s proposal

A. B. alias Kurt Schwitters
No full textSi tratta del saggio critico che accompagna la prima edizione in lingua italiana, e prima edizione commentata in assoluto, del romanzo dadaista "Auguste Bolte" di Kurt Schwitters a cura dell'autrice. L'edizione include inoltre la traduzione del noto componimento di Schwitters "An Anna Blume!". Mancando ancora l'edizione critica dell'autore in lingua originale, si pubblica e si ricostruisce la fonte manoscritta da cui poi si traduce. Il saggio, che segue il commento ai testi, si concentra sullo stretto rapporto fra arti figurative e scrittura letteraria del poeta e artista "Merz" Kurt Schwitters; le circostanze della composizione del testo "An Anna Blume!", che il saggio mette in evidenza, pongono il testo e le sue possibili interpretazioni in una nuova prospettiva. Infine, mostrando lo stretto nesso fra le protagoniste femminili dei due testi, accomunate dalle iniziali dei loro nomi, si tenta di fare luce sull'audace sperimentazione formale di un importante autore dell'avanguardia europea
