PARMENIDES’ INQUIRY AND THE LITERARY REPRESENTATION OF THE WAYS
No full textCritics often consider the division in Parmenides’ poem among fields of knowledge or not knowledge, depicted in a polar perspective. In the tale of the journey the division emerges, for example, with the allusion to the day and the night or with the image of the door and in a polar perspective unravels the speech given by the goddess in the vibrant exhortation to achieve both the truth and the opinion, which does not convince. In the complex panorama of the preserved fragments, the desire to describe the result of inquiry, being, as redemption from the darkness, which conditions the life of mortals, is woven with the desire to stress the choice among the ways of inquiry, not all positive, not all oriented towards the truth. Certainly, the ways of inquiry. But how many? The division involves the opinion, the ghost of not being, the doctrines of Heraclitus or the common people, with the metaphors of deafness and blindness. It is useful to check the literary tradition and this paper will try to understand the choice among the ways of inquiry by means of the peculiar pattern of the Priamel, the frame of parallel structures which underlines in Sappho’s song or in the corpus of Pindar the new conception that the author offers
Kwestie „najwyższej wagi” w twórczości Magdaleny Tulli
No full textThe author examines metaphors related to weight in the oeuvre of Magdalena Tulli, indicating the notion that elucidates and orders what has hitherto defied interpretation in her novels. It is pointed out by the essay’s author, and corroborated by numerous quotations from Tulli, that the Warsaw-based writer often described as a post-modernist weaving multi-thread narrative, in fact creates literature devoted to a single topic – the Shoah. An interesting way of indicating this fact is a painting by Hans Memling, Last Judgement, mysteriously appearing in Magdalena Tulli’s novel entitled Włoskie szpilki [Italian High-Heels].The author examines metaphors related to weight in the oeuvre of Magdalena Tulli, indicating the notion that elucidates and orders what has hitherto defied interpretation in her novels.

Note sulla scultura monumentale a Pisa intorno all'anno 1200
No full textThe purpose of this essay is to examine some aspects of the sculptural production in Pisa in the years between the XIIth and the XIIIth century. The main object of investigation is constituted by the reliefs that adorn two portals of the Baptistery, namely the ones facing the Cathedral and the Camposanto, and the façade of the church of San Michele degli Scalzi. The first part of this article is dedicated to a precise iconographic exegesis of some figurative elements, which has been subject of debate for historiography especially due to the lack of adequate photographs. Thanks to a careful observation and analysis of the division of some episodes and to the reading of an epigraphical inscription on a scroll, the author sheds light on the detailed interpretation of some episodes of the Life of Saint John the Baptist and proposes a new identification of a prophet.
The second section of this contribution includes a thorough review of the most relevant bibliographical entries related to the reliefs, which have often focused on the attempt to determine the specific geographical origin of the carvers. If a part of historiography believed the sculptors to have been trained in Byzantium, numerous scholars have instead already suggested that the artists had more likely come into contact with Byzantine artifacts which travelled throughout the Latin West. The final section of the essay includes several comparisons between the Pisan and the European artistic production of the same decades. Particular attention is given to the group of artworks displayed on the occasion of the famous exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York in 1970 and titled The Year 1200. The closeness of numerous traits of the figurative syntax highlighted in the last paragraphs points out the international character of the Pisan artistic production around the year 1200. These comparisons aim to give breath to a debate that has been so far limited to a mere attempt to identify the geographical and cultural origin of these artists
