Storia della cultura materiale in tempo di COVID-19
No full textCOVID-19 ha imposto a studenti e docenti la didattica a distanza. Nelle politiche strategiche delle Università le innovazioni legate alla pandemia rischiano di diventare permanenti. Gli Autori propongono un esperimento di insegnamento, tra didattica e ricerca, nella forma di un Forum, per difendere la dimensione dialogica tra docenti e studenti, la comunicazione e gli scambi tra gli studenti. L’insegnamento di Storia della cultura materiale è stato l’occasione per costruire un dialogo a più voci sugli oggetti, sugli oggetti come fonti documentarie, e sui modi in cui gli oggetti costruiscono le relazioni sociali. A partire da note introduttive e testi di approfondimento proposti dai docenti, il volume vuole restituire, con una rigorosa sequenza cronologica, i dialoghi e il percorso costruito, lungo l’arco di tre mesi, con le studentesse e conclusosi con i loro brevi saggi, oggetto dell’esame di valutazione finale. L’obiettivo è riflettere sulle trasformazioni della didattica e sottolineare il rischio che diventi atemporale, con la costruzione di moduli standardizzati e il ridimensionamento della dimensione critica e contestuale dell’insegnamento

Thomas Merton's Nostalgia
No full textThis paper explores some writings that reflect aspects of Thomas Merton's life, viewed from the theories of nostalgia as developed by Jean Starobinsky (1966) and Svetlana Boym (2001). In our days, nostalgia is defined as a sentiment of displacement which is not necessarily related to a place. This seeming paradox explains why nostalgia may be related not to one?s own past, but rather to a feeling typical of modern times, which in Merton's case (as well as in many of his contemporaries) proved a force that prompted change in their surroundings, institutions and/or lives. In order to corroborate such a hypothesis, this paper reads some of Merton's texts applying the category of nostalgia, attempting to prove that Merton's was both reflective and restorative.Fil: Raggio, Marcela Maria.

Thomas Merton’s poetics of translation in his letters to writers
No full textEste artículo busca glosar la poética de la traducción de Thomas Merton a partir del estudio de sus cartas a escritores. En ellas, Merton reflexiona acerca de lo que significa la traducción poética, los modos de traducir, y la experiencia de acercarse a lo extranjero (el extranjero) mediante la traducción. Luego, se realiza un análisis traductológico de una muestra de traducción por Merton, a fin de revisar la conexión entre su poética y su práctica de la traducción.This article explores Thomas Merton’s poetics of translation as reflected in his letters to writers. There, Merton expresses his ideas on poetic translation, the methods and the experience of approaching foreign literature through translation. Then, a translation analysis of a sample revises the connection between Merton’s poetics and practice of translation.Fil: Raggio, Marcela Maria. Universidad Nacional de Cuyo.

Acknowledging the other: Thomas Merton's poetic translations
No full textThis article explores the connection between reflection and practice of translation in Thomas Merton, based on the theoretical framework provided by Antoine Berman. In Merton’s letters to fellow Latin American writers there are explicit references to the function of poetry in a de-humanized world, in addition to specific comments about his translator’s task. We suggest that those reflections contribute to develop Merton’s poetics of translation and, together with his versions of Latin American poetry (particularly, those in Emblems of a Season of Fury), they can be understood as a way of valuing the Other, in Berman’s terms.Fil: Raggio, Marcela Maria.

Traducción y reescritura: Francisco Zárate, Ernesto Cardenal y Thomas Merton
No full textEste artículo estudia los diálogos y pasajes que se producen entre tres textos: la carta de Francisco Zárate al virrey de Nueva España en 1579, el poema “Drake en la Mar del Sur” del nicaragüense Ernesto Cardenal, y la traducción de este poema al inglés por el norteamericano Thomas Merton. A partir de las consideraciones teóricas de Even-Zohar sobre el sistema literario, se establecen líneas de interacción entre los tres textos que ponen de manifiesto la importancia del perspectivismo en la construcción de las identidades que plantean los tres textos del corpus.This article studies the dialogues and passages established among three texts: Francisco Zárate’s letter to the Viceroy of New Spain in 1579, Nicaraguan poet Ernesto Cardenal’s “Drake en la Mar del Sur”, and the translation of this poem into English by American poet and monk Thomas Merton. Based on Even-Zohar’s polysystem theory, the article explores lines of interaction which expose the value of perspectivism in building the identities suggested by the three texts.Fil: Raggio, Marcela Maria.

Ernesto Cardenal: A Latin American Liberation Mystic
No full textThis paper explores mysticism as seen in Ernesto Cardenal’s El Evangelio en Solentiname (The Gospel in Solentiname), aiming at both defining Cardenal as a revolutionary and a traditional mystic, shaped by Thomas Merton’s influence and by Latin American political circumstances. Mysticism is usually defined as individual contemplation of God, immediate and unmediated. Yet, in the context of Latin American 20th-century struggles for liberation, mysticism became contemplation of God while the individual is committed to the community. This perspective is studied in Cardenal’s book, supported with his memoir Las ínsulas extrañanas (The Strange Islands), to show that Cardenal is a mystic, notwithstanding his political commitment, or precisely because of that. The theoretical background draws notions from liberation theology and liberation philosophy. Paradoxically, in spite of its revolutionary claims, Cardenal’s The Gospel in Solentiname can be seen in the line of traditional mysticism, in its challenge of power from the margins and its presentation of alternative modes of communicating with the divine.Fil: Raggio, Marcela Maria.

Thomas Merton’s ideas in Latin America : his writings in Sur
No full textFil: Raggio, Marcela. Universidad Nacional de Cuyo; Argentina.Fil: Raggio, Marcela. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas; Argentina.Este artículo explora la relación del monje norteamericano Thomas Merton con la revista argentina Sur, fundada y dirigida por Victoria Ocampo. Se busca estudiar las ideas de Merton en la revista, a través del análisis de ensayos y otros textos que aparecieron en la publicación. ¿Qué ideas de las que promueve Merton interesan a Sur? ¿Por qué Sur publica ensayos del monje estadounidense? ¿Tienen algún aspecto en común los diversos textos de Merton aparecidos en la revista de Ocampo? El objetivo principal de este trabajo es comprender los modos en que las publicaciones de Merton en Sur se insertan en el contexto social, literario y cultural de mediados del siglo XX, a través de la confluencia en las ideas de humanismo / personalismo.This article explores Thomas Merton’s relation with the Argentine journal Sur, directed by Victoria Ocampo. It aims at studying Merton’s works and contributions to the journal, in search of the cultural and intellectual networks that are visualized in those writings. Which of Merton’s ideas seem appealing to Sur? Why does Sur publish essays by the American monk? Do texts by Merton published in Ocampo’s journal share any traits? Our main objective is to understand the ways in which Merton’s texts in Sur connected with the social, literary and cultural contexts of the mid-20th century, through their shared confluence with the ideals of humanism /personalism
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
