    D’amore e d’ombre: intrecci prospettici in Unkenrufe di Günter Grass

    No full text
    Critics have almost unanimously considered Unkenrufe one of Grass's least successful novels. This verdict can be shared, but it does not diminish the value of the work for those who wish to understand this author, dwelling on topical aspects of his production, from the reflection on collective memory to the search for ways to re-elaborate the traumatic events of German history in the last century. Once again Grass compares collective memory and individual memory, once again the political history of Germany is intertwined with the private affairs of individuals, in search of a hoped-for peace that is more than possible, starting from a fellowship between like-minded people, in the name of a shared utopia

    «Per lo più senza desideri e un poco infelici». Ritratto della madre perduta in Wunschloses Unglück di Peter Handke

    Full text link
    In this work Wunschloses Unglück is read as if it were an impressionistic biography in images. The tale was born out of an attempt to give Handke’s fifty-year-old mother, who died of suicide, back a story and an identity. A way to give content and contours to the woman and to neutralize the depersonalizing effect of the news of the event in the pages of the local newspaper. The story of the mother is actually, from the very beginning, a reflection of the writer on his own work, on the difficulty of writing ‘true’ stories, on the tormented search for a precarious balance between description and documentation, between narration and image, between truth and fiction. Handke would seem to be guided by the consciousness that the frame of a story, like a photograph, as the measure and form of things, is the element capable of making them visible, giving them a sense, and ultimately a sort of earthly salvation

    «Ich kann Nietzsche nicht böse sein, weil er mir meine Deutschen verdorben hat...». Thomas Mann lettore della Geburt der Tragödie

    No full text
    The paper proposes an analysis of the reception of Nietzsche’s Die Geburt der Tragödie in Thomas Mann, with particular attention to the essay (1947) dedicated to the philosopher and to Doktor Faustus. The novel is read as an example of productive reception: Nietzsche’s categories of Apollonian and Dionysian, and even more so the idea of a rebirth of the great tragic art, become narrative cues that animate the entire story. The Doktor Faustus does not limit itself to parodying particular concepts of the Birth of Tragedy, but ends up presenting itself as a captivating ‘instruction manual’ for a correct reading of Nietzsche’s work

    Sulla base di concetti quali empatia, compassione e immedesimazione, il lavoro mette a confronto le teorie estetiche di Brecht, Lessing e Stanislavskij. Ricostruendo le tappe del fecondo rapporto di scambio dialettico che lega il drammaturgo tedesco del '900 all'attore e regista russo e al drammaturgo teorico della drammaturgia della compassione del 700, si analizza un caso di tormentata ricezione.Based on concepts such as empathy, compassion and identification, the work compares the aesthetic theories of Brecht, Lessing and Stanislavsky
