Alfredo Oriani, una visione contesa dell’italianità
No full textIl testo si propone come rassegna delle informazioni sulla produzione letteraria di Alfredo Oriani (1852–1909), scrittore, giornalista e pensatore italiano le cui idee, nonostante un’incoerenza cronologica, furono interpretate da Benito Mussolini come appoggio intellettuale all’ideologia fascista. L’autore romagnolo, dopo numerosi tentativi falliti di attirare l’attenzione del pubblico e della critica letteraria con i suoi romanzi, si dedicò al lavoro storiografico che servì a corroborare il “mito del precursore”. Il punto di riferimento per le considerazioni su Oriani è sempre, oltre all’indiscutibile aspetto biografico, la delusione provocata dagli ideali traditi del Risorgimento e della realtà dell’Italia post-unitaria. Nell’articolo si cercherà di ricostruire la fortuna letteraria di Oriani nel contesto degli avvenimenti politici del ventesimo secolo che hanno contribuito alla nascita di un caso letterario eccezionale per la storia d’Italia.The proposed text is a review of information about literary work of Alfredo Oriani (1852–1909), writer, journalist and thinker whose ideas, despite chronological incoherence, were interpreted by Benito Mussolini as an intellectual support of fascist ideology. The author from Romagna, after numerous unsuccessful attempts to historiographical work that decided about creation of the ‘precursor’s myth’. The reference point for Oriani’s considerations is always, apart from undeniable biographical aspect, the disillusion with Risorgimento’s betrayed ideals and post-unitary Italy’s reality. In the article we will try to describe the story of Oriani’s literary success in the context of political events of 20to attract the readers and literary critics’ attention with his novels, devoted himself century that decided about the creation of an exceptional for Italy’s history literary case
Isabella Bonarelli della Rovere: racconto di un’identità contesa
No full textUnlike Guidubaldo and Prospero Bonarelli della Rovere, who rose to literary fame, Countess Isabella (d. 1602), wife of the eclectic noble of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Teodor Lacki, is a figure of little importance in Italian historiography. According to the few sources mentioning her it is clear that she was the sister of the noble Count Pietro Bonarelli, from Italy’s Marche region, and with him she fled hastily the city of Urbino when he fell into disgrace of the new prince. The family moved eventually to Novellara and the scholar of local antiquities Giuseppe Campori (1821-1887) reports that a daughter of the count, whose name he is not certain of (he gives only its initial, ‘N.’), was maritata a Teodoro Laczki gentiluomo polacco (“married to Teodor Lacki, Polish gentleman”). These reports are not in contrast with each other, but are nonetheless inconsistent with Lithuanian sources, primarily the Funeral oration (and the collection of poems that accompanies it), written in honor of Isabella by Johannes Kimbar. Whilst Italian scholars had the advantage of direct access to original documents in loco, on the other hand, one cannot doubt the information that can be deduced from Isabella’s eulogy. Not only for chronological reasons, but especially because Kimbar was at the service of Lacki as well as personally acquainted with his circle, he deserves more credit, conventional formulas of the apologetic repertoire put aside. It does not seem possible that this literate could have reported inaccurate information in his erudite works, later given to the press, in which he recalls moments in the life of the Italian noblewoman, especially since his occasional speech is expressly dedicated to people who knew the deceased even better than the author did. Therefore, the question whether Isabella was the sister of Count Pietro Bonarelli, rather than his daughter, looks pointless from a logical point of view. Still the discrepancies between the mentioned sources require an explanation. A comparison of Italian documents of various types referring to the members of the Bonarelli family from those two generations, even texts which date to their same period, highlights disagreements on dates, names, places and even significant life events. For these reasons, while some hypotheses remain yet to be proved, the reconstruction proposed here should not be far from the truth.Nell’articolo si intende ricostruire, con l’obiettivo di sanare la discordanza tra le fonti italiane e lituano-polacche, l’immediata genealogia di Isabella Bonarelli della Rovere, nobildonna italiana morta in Lituania ai primi del 1600, sposa di Teodoro Laczki. Si tratta di una questione, per così dire, filologico-genealogica, poiché le fonti italiane considerano Isabella sorella del marchese Pietro Bonarelli, quelle lituane, invece, sua figlia. L’orazione funebre in onore della donna, di cui si sta allestendo la pubblicazione in edizione commentata anche in italiano, e le ricerche nei documenti d’epoca sembrano avallare la conclusione che l’errore sia nelle fonti italiane, e che esso vada spiegato con la marginalità del personaggio.
Izabelė Bonarelli della Rovere: ginčytinos tapatybės istorijaSkirtingai nuo Gvidubaldo (Guidubaldo) ir Prospero (Prospero) Bonarelli della Rovere, nusipelniusių žymių literatų vardų, grafaitė Izabelė (Isabella, m. 1602), Lietuvos Didžiosios Kunigaikštystės ekscentriško bajoro Teodoro Lackio žmona, italų istoriografijoje tėra antraeilė, vos žinoma veikėja. Remiantis visai nedaugeliu esamų šaltinių, teikiančių informacijos apie jos biografiją, galima teigti, kad ji buvusi Markės regiono italo grafo Petro (Pietro) Bonarelli sesuo, ir su juo slapta pabėgusi iš Urbino miesto, kai šis pateko į naujo miesto valdovo nemalonę. Visa jų šeima galiausiai apsistojo Novelaroje, Emilijos regione. Vietinės istorijos tyrėjas Giuseppe Campori,1821–1887) rašo, kad viena iš grafo dukterų, kurios vardu abejoja (jis pateikia tik jos vardo pirmąją raidę – „N.“), buvo maritata a Teodoro Laczki gentiluomo polacco („ištekėjusi už lenkų bajoro Teodoro Lackio“). Šios žinios neprieštarauja vienos kitoms, tačiau nėra suderinamos su lietuviškais šaltiniais, visų pirma su laidotuvių kalba (ir ją lydinčiu eilėraščių rinkiniu), parašyta Jono Kimbaro Izabelės garbei. Reikia pripažinti, kad italų tyrėjai turėjo tiesioginę prieigą prie originalių vietinių dokumentų, kita vertus, nevalia užginčyti Izabelės mirties proga parašytoje kalboje pateiktos informacijos: juk Kimbaras buvo tų įvykių liudininkas, tarnavo Lackiui ir tiesiogiai bendravo su šio šeimyna. Atmetus gal šablonines, klasikinei laidotuvių panegirikai būdingas liaupses, neatrodo tikėtina, kad šis eruditas savo kūriniuose galėjo pateikti neteisingos informacijos apie italę grafaitę. Juolab kad šis rinkinys buvo specialiai skiriamas žmonėms, kurie pažinojo velionę net geriau nei autorius, o vėliau buvo parengtas ir spausdintas leidinys. Dėl šių priežasčių klausimas, ar Izabelė galėjo būti Petro Bonarelli sesuo, o ne dukra, logiškai mąstant net negali būti keliamas. Tačiau minėtieji neatitikimai, italų šaltinių klaidos reikalauja paaiškinimo. Sugretinus įvairaus pobūdžio dokumentus, kur minimi tų dviejų kartų Bonarelli šeimos nariai, ir net tuo pačiu asmenų gyvenimo tarpsniu datuojamus tekstus, paaiškėja daugiau atvejų, kai painiojami datų, vardų, vietovių pavadinimai o kartais net pateikiamos skirtingos svarbių įvykių versijos. Nors ne visos iškeltos hipotezės patvirtintos, šiame straipsnyje pateiktas Bonarelli šeimos genealoginio medžio vaizdavimas neturėtų būti labai toli nuo istorinės tiesos.Reikšminiai žodžiai: Bonarelli della Rovere; Teodoras Lackis; Italijos ir Lietuvos istoriniai saitai
La contesa e il trionfo: Otto Brahm e le testimonianze sulla Freie Bühne
No full textThe study examines an essay written by Otto Brahm and published in October 1909 in the «Berliner Tageblatt». A careful reading of the entire document entitled Freie Bühne, complete with the last three pages handwritten by the author, reveals its autobiographical character centred on the director experience of the Theaterverein. Since its foundation in 1889, the society has pursued the objective of eliminating the empty schematics and restrictions of conventionalism proposed by the stages of the late
nineteenth century, of spreading the Naturalist movement and of welcoming dramas by progressive authors such as Henrik Ibsen and Gerhart Hauptmann. Only two years after its institution, a myriad of associations were spreading in Germany and Europe, committed to the construction of a ‘free stage’. Some examples emerged on the model of Berlin society are the Akademisch-dramatische Verein directed by Ernst von Wolzogen and the Intimes Theater of Josef Valle Hunkele in Munich, the Literarische
Gesellschaft in Leipzig, led by C. Heine, W. Harlan, K. Martens, H. von Weber and F. A. Beyerlein as well as the Independent Theatre Society founded in London by the Dutch Jakob T. Grein. By telling a story regarding personal experiences, Brahm’s essay is a valuable testimony on the origin, evolution and affirmation of the Freie Bühne and on the conversion of Berlin, the city of many theaters, into the city of the theater in the international context
Autore contro lettore, riddler contro riddlee, criminale contro detective. La contesa enigmistica come strumento di gestione del sapere
No full textThis work intends to investigate different ways of managing knowledge in the modern, ancient and postmodern era through the analysis of three riddle contests. In the first case, we will reflect on the relationship between author and reader starting from a review by Edgar Allan Poe on Dickens’ Barnaby Rudge; in the second, the outcome of a riddle contest narrated by Tolkien in The Hobbit will be commented; in the third, the gnoseological logics that preside over the connotations of Paul Auster’s detective fiction will be explored
Dante, la paura e il dolore: lettura di Inferno XVI
No full textTesto della lectura tenuta alla Casa di Dante in Roma l’11 aprile 2010. Divide il canto in tre parti. La prima, quella dell’incontro tra Dante e i tre sodomiti fiorentini, è ricondotta alla memoria di alcuni episodi dell’Eneide: l’autore sottolinea come il tema della pietà che Dante personaggio prova per i peccatori si esaurisca in questo incontro, evidenzia il contrasto sorto nell’anima del pellegrino tra un sentimento di condivisione del loro destino e la paura generata dalla visione della loro pena, espresso attraverso il topos della contesa, rileva la prevalenza retorica di ordo artificialis e antitesi. Della notazione topografica che segna la seconda parte del canto si ricorda come essa corrisponda a un passaggio dell’esilio di Dante. Infine, dopo aver ripercorso le varie interpretazioni del controverso episodio del lancio della corda da parte di Virgilio, l’autore evidenzia le prolungate metafore nautiche che costellano il finale del canto, che accomunano questo passaggio ai punti di maggior tensione metaletteraria del poema in cui esse sono sempre usate.Lectura held at the Casa di Dante in Rome in 2010. The author divides the canto in three parts. The first part, dedicated to the encounter between Dante and the three florentine sodomites, is connected to Dante’s poetic memory of the Aeneid. The author underlines how the topic of mercy that Dante the character feels towards the sinners comes with this episode to an end; how in Dante’s soul raises a contrast between the empathy for sinners’ condition and the fear of the punishment, represented through the topos of quarrel; how the rhetoric figures prevailing in this episode are ordo artificialis and oppositions. The topography of the second part of the canto is put in relationship with the places Dante went through during his exile. Finally - after having mentioned the different interpretations of the controversial episode in which Vergil throws a cord in the abyss -the author emphasizes the fact that the last part of the canto is filled with nautical metaphors, remembering that thay are also used in other important passages of the poem
La contratransformación socio-ecológica brasileña: de la era Bolsonaro al regreso de Lula
No full textThe author offers a critical reading of environmental policies in Brazil, arguing that the country represents an emblematic case of ecological counter-transformation. Far from advancing towards a sustainable transition, Brazil has experienced a process of systemic regression, marked by normative disintegration, the criminalization of activists and the corporate capture of regulation. Through the analysis of the federal structure of the State, the fragility of socio-environmental governance and the emblematic cases of Mariana and Brumadinho, the author highlights the tensions between ecological rhetoric and extractivist rationality. He calls for relocating the debate on global ecological transitions starting from the peripheries of capitalism, where sustainability is contested, politically situated and historically conditioned.El autor ofrece una lectura crítica de las políticas ambientales en Brasil, argumentando que el País representa un caso emblemático de contratransformación ecológica. Lejos de avanzar hacia una transición sostenible, Brasil ha experimentado un proceso de regresión sistémica, marcado por la desintegración normativa, la criminalización de activistas y el control corporativo de la regulación. A través del análisis de la estructura federal del Estado, la fragilidad de la gobernanza socioambiental y los casos emblemáticos de Mariana y Brumadinho, el autor destaca las tensiones entre la retórica ecológica y la racionalidad extractivista. Aboga por reubicar el debate sobre las transiciones ecológicas globales desde las periferias del capitalismo, donde la sostenibilidad es cuestionada, políticamente situada e históricamente condicionada.L’autore propone una lettura critica delle politiche ambientali in Brasile, sostenendo che il Paese rappresenti un caso emblematico di contro-trasformazione ecologica. Lungi dall’avanzare verso una transizione sostenibile, il Brasile ha sperimentato un processo di regressione sistemica, segnato dal disfacimento normativo, dalla criminalizzazione degli attivisti e dalla cattura corporativa della regolazione. Attraverso l’analisi della struttura federale dello Stato, della fragilità della governance socio-ambientale e dei casi emblematici di Mariana e Brumadinho, l’autore mette in luce le tensioni tra retorica ecologista e razionalità estrattivista. Invita a rilocalizzare il dibattito sulle transizioni ecologiche globali a partire dalle periferie del capitalismo, in cui la sostenibilità è contesa, politicamente situata e storicamente condizionata
Mappe aperte nella narrativa speculativa di Douglas Coupland: dal centro al margine, dal dove al come, dall’io al noi
No full textContesa tra fatti, finzioni, geografie la narrativa speculativa di Douglas Coupland è un’indagine dei processi socio-storici e di costume legati a precise generazioni. Storia e geografia, diventano un linguaggio che permette la spazializzazione di comportamenti problematiche e debolezze sociologiche di un’epoca. Traducendo in narrazioni dati demografici e scenari di crisi, sia economica che esistenziale, l’autore traccia un nuovo spazio ideale, una nuova forma di utopia, che non è tanto geografica, quanto umana e relazionale. Quando il singolo incontra il gruppo, ritrova l’opportunità di dire “noi” - we-narrative - di scrivere la storia/Storia, di immaginare località e panorami da cui ripartire. In questo saggio si offre un’analisi dei travestimenti geografici che Coupland sfrutta per porsi al di là dell’era post-fordista e della dual city abbracciando una visione dalla Googlesfera, più ampia e aperta. Se la Storia con la s maiuscola è inservibile principio per organizzare il nostro pensiero e la nostra cultura da quando è stata trasformata in «a press release, a marketing strategy, and a cynical campaign tool» (COUPLAND 1991: 151), allora è la capacità di narrare storie il punto zero. L’utopia da cui ripartire si gioca all’interno di gruppi che rifiutano l’omologazione in nome della forza dell’immaginazione. Sono le mappe carto-grafiche, fisiche e della mente la nuova frontiera, il modo per riposizionare la prospettiva da una visione storica o storicistica ad una aerea.In a hybrid of facts, fiction, geography, Douglas Coupland’s speculative narratives offer an insight of socio-historical and stylistic trends within recognisable age groups. History and geography are the two languages that allow the author to turn locations into labels he uses to name behaviours, problems and weaknesses of an era. Demographic data and economic and existential crisis are translated into narratives, thus the new ideal place, utopia is no longer traceable as a geographic profile on the planet rather it is a human and a relational one. When an individual meets a group is also enabled to say “we” and start a we-narrative, that is write stories and History, to imagine places and scenary from which to start fresh. In this study the series of Coupland’s geographical disguises is dealt with as the author exploits such a narrative device to move beyond the post-Fordist and the Dual City into a wider and more open one, that of the Googlesphere. If History is no longer a useful tool to organise our thoughts and culture, since it has been turned into «a press release, a marketing strategy, and a cynical campaign tool» (COUPLAND 1991: 151), what is left is the human ability to tell stories, there is where we can start from scratch, there is where utopia starts, within groups that refuse conventions and are empowered by imagination. It is the work of making maps and charts, that is cartography, both physical and mental ones the ultimate utopia-land, the ultimate way to shift from a historical perspective to an aerial view
