Full textThe figure of nobleman Francesco Cusani Confalonieri (1802-1879) has not been sufficiently investigated yet, even though the study of his eclectic life provides new perspectives on the Italian culture of the early nineteenth century and its links to the rest of Europe. He was a disciple of Gian Domenico Romagnosi, a translator, historian, publisher, traveller, Lombard patriot and the author of History of Milan (Storia di Milano) in eight volumes, published after the Italian Unification, for which he is still well known to scholars. Through the analysis of his personal documents, till now untouched, and his works, this research aims to explore his life from a new point of view, by focusing on the possible connection between his literary activity and his political involvement. Firstly, it examines his family environment in order to understand the cultural background in which Cusani’s sense of national identity could flourish. Secondly, thanks to the discovery of texts written or read by him during his time at the University of Pavia (1823-1828), the work focuses on a crucial element for the future developments of his intellectual activity: the relationship between national ideals and Romanticism that he precociously experienced, marked by a strong cosmopolitanism since the beginning. As a result, the research looks at Cusani’s activity in preunitarian Italy. Specifically, it examines how his translations of some of Walter Scott’s works and the children’s periodicals he created contributed to the diffusion of national ideals throughout Italy, all the while maintaining a constant dialogue with the rest of Europe. It then tracks the influence these previous works and some subsequent trips in Italy and Europe had on Cusani’s contribution to the editorial projects by “Pirotta e Compagni”, the Milanese publishing house he was a member of from 1835 to 1859. In light of this study, Cusani’s participation to the 1848 insurrection becomes the outcome of a process begun in the previous decades and continually aimed at the modernization of the country under all aspects – including its politics – and in line with European progress. Likewise, his History of Milan is the end result of a long historical research originated in 1832 and imbued with covert political aims.

Full textThis research analyses how and why the most recent Sardinian literary production updates the presence of the Spanish in Sardinia (1479-1720). It mainly focuses on the attention that Sardinian authors pay today to the Spanish domination on the island but also to the revival, in new forms, of the genre "historical novel". The aim of the work is to understand the reasons for this recovery of history from the literature, and to study through what modalities this need for memory manifests itself. The research is based on a literary corpus composed of ten novels and two short stories writings between 1986 and 2017. The texts chosen are the work of nine authors: Francesco Abate, Paola Alcioni, Giulio Angioni, Sergio Atzeni, Anna Castellino, Pietro Maurandi, Carlo A. Melis Costa, Nicolò Migheli et Raffaele Puddu, belonging to the current called "new Sardinian wave". These texts are all based on the period of Iberian influence in Sardinia. Thanks to these works, which have been widely disseminated, the Spanish period returns to the contemporary imagination. This return to historical memory is manifested, at the literary level, by its own characteristics: the constant presence of a hybrid language; the importance of orality; original use of historical material in the narration; an "other" point of view on events. This corpus has been analysed according to paradigms developed within the framework of the “neo-historical” novel (Benvenuti, 2012 and Domenichelli, 2011), studies on the South and subaltern (Gramsci, 1975 and 2008, Said, 1980 and 2000, Chambers, 2003 and 2006), and according to a “micro-historical” approach (Ginzburg, 1976 and 2006)

Full textOne may approach cinema as a cultural vector which can either give shape to the habits and customs of a given society or reflect its yearnings. The Italian film industry is one among those which have produced movies which entered the global cultural imaginary. Nowadays, its international presence has been reshaped and Italian films do not easily shine beyond the national frame. Artists such as Emanuele Crialese, Matteo Garrone or Paolo Sorrentino have managed to achieve an undeniable visibility, and have become the symbol of a reborn contemporary Italian cinema. The content of their filmographies are the result of film shapes that are as rich as they are diverse, and their influence seems able to alter and to update the imaginary of italian culture connoisseurs. The purpose of our work is to study and understand the impact of their masterpieces on the French audience. Through a historical, sociological and economical study, we will analyse the representation of reality in the history of Italian cinema : an intellectual ideal which seems to have been of interest especially to the French spectators. Then we will focus on the content of these three specific directors’ lifework in order to examine social, political and economical data. Finally, we will conclude by observing the impact these films have had on French experts such as film critics. This study also deals with the distribution and the running of these specific directors’ films not only in the cinemas but also when aired in various film festivals
È possibile concepire il Cinema come un vettore culturale capace di materializzare gli usi e i costumi di una società, o suscettibile di manifestarne le aspirazioni. L'industria cinematografica italiana dimora tra quelle che hanno saputo imporre delle opere entrate istantaneamente nell'immaginario collettivo, e ciò su scala mondiale. Oggi, la sua presenza a livello internazionale è stata ridimensionata e la diffusione delle sue opere oltrepassa raramente i confini nazionali. I rari autori del calibro di Emanuele Crialese, Matteo Garrone e Paolo Sorrentino hanno saputo acquisire una visibilità oramai indiscussa, permettendo loro di diventare il simbolo d'un cinema italiano contemporaneo rinascente. I contenuti delle loro filmografie sono il risultato di forme cinematografiche tanto ricche quanto varie, e la loro influenza sembra capace di modificare e aggiornare l'immaginario degli appassionati di cultura italiana. Queste ricerche vogliono analizzare e comprendere l'impatto delle loro opere in un paese come la Francia. Attraverso degli studi storici, sociologici ed economici, queste ricerche analizzano le forme rappresentative legate al reale presenti nella storia del cinema italiano, un ideale intellettuale che sembra interessare in particolar modo i pubblici francesi. Inoltre, esse si consacrano all'estrapolazione dei dati socio-politico-economici contenuti nelle tre filmografie a cui facciamo riferimento. L'analisi dell'impatto di queste opere sui critici cinematografici francesi scelti come pubblici, concludono queste ricerche che si dedicano in egual modo alla distribuzione e alla commercializzazione di queste opere, presenti non solo in sala, ma diffuse inoltre in molti festival

Cornez, Élodie. "Les langues du théâtre italien contemporain." Thesis, Lille 3, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015LIL30003.
Full textThis doctoral dissertation deals with the use of dialectal languages in the contemporary Italian theater. Indeed, these languages remain an important source of inspiration in the most innovating creations of the last thirty years, in spite of the paramount place the Italian language has come to have in the whole national territory since the Italian Unification. This study deals with the values and with what is at stake in these dialectal languages in today's theater which is, most of the time, created by actors-authors: therefore, the relationship between the artist, who is both creator and performer, and dramatic language, relies on a way of tackling the linguistic element that is fundamentally precognitive and corporal as well.After having cleared up the linguistic dynamics in the Italian theater since the Unification ; the study focuses on the work of five contemporary actors-authors: Marco Paolini, Ascanio Celestini, Spiro Scimone (Compagnia Scimone Sframeli), Emma Dante (Compagnia Sud Costa Occidentale) and Enzo Moscato. Studying the work of these artists, as well as a specific play, intends to draw up a cartography of the contemporary Italian theater that is inspired by dialect languages to create its own dramatic language. The study aims to lay emphasis on the convergence lines of creations which deals with three key notions, at the core of the study: time, territory and identity. These three notions will be progressively redefined and precised by working on the idea of limit and boundary
Questo lavoro di ricerca si interroga sull’uso delle lingue dialettali nel teatro italiano contemporaneo. Infatti, esse restano un’importante fonte d’ispirazione nelle creazioni più innovative degli ultimi trent’anni, nonostante l’affermarsi dell’italiano sull’intero territorio nazionale a partire dall’Unità. Questo studio si interroga sui valori e sul peso di queste lingue dialettali nel teatro odierno che, in larga parte, viene realizzato da attori-autori: perciò, la relazione che si stabilisce tra l’artista, insieme creatore ed interprete, e la lingua teatrale è fondata su un approccio fondamentalmente pre-cognitivo, e perfino corporeo, dell’elemento linguistico.Dopo aver chiarito, in un primo momento, le dinamiche linguistiche in atto nel teatro italiano sin dall’Unità, questo studio si accentra intorno alla pratica di cinque attori-autori contemporanei: Marco Paolini, Ascanio Celestini, Spiro Scimone (Compagnia Scimone Sframeli), Emma Dante (Compagnia Sud Costa Occidentale) e Enzo Moscato. L’analisi del percorso di ognuno di questi artisti, nonché di una loro opera in particolare, mira a stabilire una cartografia del teatro italiano contemporaneo che attinge dai dialetti la materia della propria lingua teatrale. Si tratta di evidenziare le linee di fuga di creazioni che interrogano tre nozioni-chiave al cuore dell’analisi: il tempo, il territorio e l’identità, nozioni affinate e progressivamente ridefinite da una costante riflessione sul concetto di limite e di confine

Full textOver a period spanning 70 years, 1945 through 2015, ltalian artists carried out a "memory" endeavour for those generations that were bom before the fascist era, during the period of its highest imperialistic aims, during the aftermath of the war, and even for the generation of those artists bom 30 years after the end of the war. As a result, a multitude of individual and collective memories had emerged. This work aims to reconstruct and track the history of these memories (whether or not actually experienced by the artist), and to provide the tools to understand the genesis ofthese memories. Analysing "memory" through art pieces is an intimate, singular, and political act. To what extent fascist memory manipulations affect artistic creations? How do the artists react and position themselves, once confronted with the problems of re-defining "Fascism", after the dictatorship fell? Which new "plastic forms" emerge from these new adaptations of individual and collective memories?
Durante settant'anni, dal 1945 al 2015, gli artisti italiani, attraverso le loro opere, hanno svolto un lavoro di memoria. Fra una generazione nata prima del Fascismo, una nata quando questo è al culmine della sua potenza imperialista, un'altra nata dopo la guerra e infine una generazione di giovani artisti nati trent'anni dopo la fine del conflitto, le memorie individuali e collettive si affollano. L'obiettivo di questa ricerca è di ricostruire la storia di queste testimonianze su un passato, vissuto o no, e di fomire gli strumenti per capire le condizioni della loro genesi. Parlare della memoria attraverso le opere d'arte è un'espressione intima, singolare, ma allo stesso tempo un atto eminentemente politico. Nel periodo preso in esame, le manipolazioni della memoria del Fascismo influenzano la creazione su questo tema? Quai è la posizione degli artisti di fronte alle problematiche nate da una ridefinizione del pericolo fascista, sebbene la dittatura sia ufficialmente caduta? Quali forme plastiche son date a queste rimemorazioni e riattualizzazioni?

Full textItaly, the cradle of Castiglione’s sprezzata desinvoltura, is undoubtedly the country where the ambiguous relationship between art, politics and media is the strongest. The Italian pavilion of the Venice Biennale in 2009 and 2011 illustrates the complex game of appearances, which are “making worlds" or "lighting up nations." Reading again the history of art through the prism of Castiglione’s concept, the thesis shows us that the world (of art) is itself the effect of this “disinvoltura” ambivalence. Far from having subjugate art to their concepts, the great men, whether kings, philosophers or businessmen are the effects of this casualness (“desinvoltura”) of art. Like Monsieur Jourdain, they would make art without knowing it. Exit Machiavelli! It is now urgent to think this "ruse of art" that leads the world. These are the fundamental stakes of this thesis, that basing itself on the Nietzschean eternal return schema, distinguishes several casualness figures, historical, philosophical and aesthetic

Full textThe identification and definition of the actors of the contemporary Italian glass is complex insofar as their situation is paradoxical: they are both iconic and relatively setback from “free” glass art. This "movement" that took off in the course of the sixties in the United States experimented with both new practices and sculptural forms, as well as smaller and more flexible workshops than the traditional factory. In addition, the Studio Glass Movement’s revolution occurs at the beginnings of postmodernism in which the arts are also changing, making more difficult the study of the relationship between glass crafts and industries with the arts.The first part entitled "Environment and history, the issue of model" is a historical approach in chronological thread. It describes the technical developments of the glass as well as its specific developments in Venice and Murano. It also allows to characterize the different actors: factories and maestri, craftsmen, designers and artists.The second part is devoted to works and artifacts, economic and physical environments. At first, it approach the evolution of various productions (everyday objects, sculptures, etc..) with a typological and stylistic point of view. Their critical reception is studied, as well as their terms of sales from Venice’s souvenir shops to large exhibitions, specialized or not.The third and last part ("Glass ontology: aesthetic principles and metaphysical requirements") deals with the role of craft and tradition of glass in postmodernity. It also concerns the question of the material and its practices with an aesthetical and phenomenological point of view, which refers to the conditions and resources of production

Full textTheatre for young people is experimental—the desire for and the modalities of an encounter between creators and a specific audience undergo redefinition with each performance. This PhD thesis sheds light on how theatre for young people came to be in France and Italy throughout history, as well as on the experiments carried out by the pioneers in the field. The focus is on the emergence of the child as a new protagonist within the theatrical field and on attempting to determine whether he indeed lies at the core of the creative process. In the first part, the emphasis is on the significance of the role of theatrical animation at the turn of the 1960s. The idea of a natural transition from artistic experiences involving young people to theatrical works designed for them was passed on from France to Italy ; by identifying the child as a potential partner in the creative process, theatrical animation prefigured the onset of new aesthetic forms directed to young audiences. In the second part, the aim is to show how artistic research has been crystallizing on the child as a spectator, who has become a specific target for stage directors and playwrights from the 1980s onwards. While reflecting on how to emancipate him, artists have taken ownership of various textual materials—some of which unexpected—and a path can therefore be traced from adaptation to creation. In France, a theatrical repertoire which belongs to youth literature in its own right has been emerging. At the same time, in both countries, the child as a character has been earning his way in play scripts and on stages. Thus, a specular relationship can be established between the child as a spectator and his double

Full textThis thesis aims to address the emergence and the development in French literature of a whole new genre, from the beginning of the 19th until the end of the 20th century: the contemporaneous Roman-themed novel. Dealing not with the stability of the Ancient City, its ruins and its monuments, but with the shifting urban and human landscape of the time, it disrupts the tradition of the Grand Tour, which was implicitly based on the notion that no fiction could be invented in the eternal present of Rome, since the perception one could have there was so deeply rooted in the past. By using the novel, writers were simultaneously confronted to the modernity of the medium and to the urban and political modernisation of the city, while the sign of Rome – the myth of the Eternal City – was always present in their mind. Novels set in contemporaneous Rome provided their authors with the possibility to engage with the most crucial issues inherent to the aesthetics and ethics of fiction: the role of belief in modern cultures – in terms of religion and its counterpart, literary fiction; the role of the past in the construction of modernity; the importance of the present in the experience of the past; the meaning of the Ancients at the time of the Moderns. Analysing the forms of the French contemporaneous Roman-themed novel signifies even more than engaging with the portrait of a city: it is a study in the relevance of Western paradigms

Full textArte Povera's works and productions constantly challenge the traditional fundamentals of History of Art, thus leading to the exploration of new artistic fields. Some members of the Italian group, in their will to break the limits between genres in order to question these very limits, concentrate on theatre to invest collective and creative spaces. This PhD is an analysis of the theatrical works by Jannis Kounellis, Giulio Paolini, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Mario Ceroli. These four specific approaches distinguish themselves by their ambitions and their scales. This university research aims at revealing the multiple intersections within the group, by exploring the interactions between visual arts and performing arts. The issue at stake is both to shed light on artists and works from the Arte Povera and to compare their experiences to the theatre, while considering the central role of the theatrical environment in the sixties and seventies in Italy in a time of revolutionary and prolific experimental creation. The ambition is to present the details of these specific artistic practices that characterize the approaches of Arte Povera's members, and then to extend this analysis to a more global questioning of other artists' approaches sharing the same concerns

Full textThis research focuses on collective novels by the group of writers known before as Luther Blissett and afterward as Wu Ming: these literary works constitute a compact corpus as regards both formal features and messages transmitted by the plots. The six novels, as a whole, are expressive of showing to the readers and the critics many references and stimulations of reflection: observing their morphology, considering their expressive potential, they can understand that the literary works are structured as a network of relationships between events and people. The authors handle such a narrative material with audacious ability, by experimenting and innovating models: this research is structured to consider both resemblances persistence and differences diachronic evolution. The Wu Ming’s idea of literature social role is substantial. The group cultural activity openly aims at claiming literature political value. Indeed, we investigate the importance in the novels of communities and of the knowledge spread within them. Furthermore, we would verify the coherence between texts substance and reflection sparks that the writers would come to let their audience share. Intending to gather Wu Ming’s writing tendencies, we employ a method which is a key of highlighting novels different facets, in order to understand their rich meaning. So this investigation is structured on many levels. At the beginning it is focused on texts morphology and narrative structure elements; then, it is enriched by the comparison with significant resemblances of other literary works; in conclusion, it is oriented to reach the novels specific meaning in relation to necessities and features of the cultural milieu they are produced in

Full textThe recognition and the construction of the Italian cookery in France are the products of a historical and social process having its main motive in the eaters’ imagination, based on the old cultural affinity between France and Italy. This performative function of imagination is exercised through concepts (in connection with cookery) circulating among eaters’ consciousness, French semiosphere and the Italian culinary territories in France. In the public space, these territories coincide with the Italians eating-places. This Ph.D. thesis analyses the specific function of the geographical imagination in the contemporary migration and construction of the Italian cookery in France, by considering three dimensions (eaters’ imagination, semiosphere circulating contents, eating-places). A crucial role in this construction is still played by landscape as geographical actant, but this one is increasingly involved in a process of ecologization, as Italian cookery in France becomes the symbol of a travel towards a desired nature. Naturalness as a transitional actant (movement toward nature) takes over from landscape, in the context of increasing ecological anxieties by eaters and a rejection of strictly modernistic food models based on a presumed division between man and nature. Italian cookery in France becomes an illustration of contemporary quest for new ways of life. At the same time, French-Italian high culinary recognition could open new perspectives in the field of the global geopolitics of taste

Full textThe dissertation proposes to study current phenomena of generic contamination between the story and the essay in Italian literature of the 21st century, by way of the category of essayism and by drawing on theories of the essay formulated in the 20th century, in particular those of Lukács, Bense and Adorno, considering a hyper-contemporary corpus (Franco Arminio (1960 - ), Vitaliano Trevisan (1960 - ), Tommaso Pincio (1960 - ) and Giorgio Vasta (1970 - ). If the Italian essay has been often confined to the forms of literary or political criticism, its newest forms, renewable in more general contexts of hybridization between fiction and nonfiction, put existing categories in a state of crisis. The dissertation shows that in continuing the tradition of reflexive writing organized around the “I,” (Mon- taigne), current Italian essayism mediates, comments, speculates around a variety of objects, and in doing so, allows itself more and more to resort to narrativity and the power of the imagination. It is therefore studied as a combinatory and mimetic form of writing that borrows forms from other genres (biography, autofiction, narrative reporting) and draws on the literary reservoir for its processes (epiphanies, allegories, estrangement) in order to serve the “thought in the making.” The research reveals that current Italian essayism, in making allies of thought, narration and fiction, presents itself as an ars combinatoria basing its organizational fulcrum on its reflexive scope as well as on “thematization.” It questions this reflection on the real and this critical writing of the present, through their con- sideration alongside the philosophy and anthropology of our time

Full textThe dissertation deals with the complex evolution of theories and practices of industrial relations between the interwar years and postwar growth. “Fordism” is the catchword usually associated with relations between the corporation, labor and government in this period and, more generally, with the supposed social compact arising from the very structure of mass production and its supposed virtuous circle with mass consumption. In this wider sense, Fordism has often been coupled, sometimes overlapped, with Keynesian macroeconomics, government economic interventionism, and the welfare state. The dissertation attempts to disentangle and discuss this supposedly simple notion of “Fordism” by tracing its manifold history and international circulation. Therefore, it involves a wide discussion of the conflict between labor and management in the mass production industries, and a focus on three case studies: the history of Elton Mayo’s “human relations” doctrine, from its origins in Australia to its applications in Europe; the evolution of the surveillance system at Fiat factories in Turin, from the last years of the Fascist regime to the late 1960s; labor scholar Gino Giugni’s experience as a student at Madison, Wisconsin, and later as a translator of American theories of the labor movement and of industrial relations, in the 1950s and 1960s
Balderas-Laignelet, Christelle. "La poésie comme sublimation du vécu. Pour une étude de l'œuvre de Sandro Penna." Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010MON30051.
Full textThis thesis deals with the work of the Italian poet Sandro Penna and intends to be a critical and chronological reading and analysis. Penna stands apart from the poetical movements of his time; therefore most of his poems and prose narration works are very short and present a timeless view of Life mainly focused on love for young men (from 13 to 16 y.o). From his very first writings this topic is recurrent and obsessional. This is the reason why it is difficult to establish his work as “an autobiographical novel in verse”. Consequently the collections Poesie, Confuso sogno, Peccato di gola. (Poesie al fermo posta) and Un po’ di febbre are analysed in order to relate the uncommon Penna’s personal path and to confirm that love for young men expresses a more universal love for Life. In this “out of time” life an echo of voices of his coevals, such as Saba, Montale, Ungaretti and Pasolini and of his predecessors like Leopardi and Pascoli can be heard. Two aims appear in the poetical and existential quest by Penna: - restoring a harmonious dialog with the Beginning (which is considered as the myth of the original childhood from which memories are immediately absorbed by the spleen of Modernity); - seeing human life as an infinite cycle. From this viewpoint, Platon and Nietzsche’s works, which were well known by Penna, allow us to go further into this questioning through which the poet succeeds in sublimating Real Life

Full textThis work analyzes the tragedy written by Ugo Foscolo (1778-1827) at the end of his adolescence : Tieste. The drama has not been sufficiently studied yet, but presents various and important elements of interest. The idea of literature emerging from it is definitely new, and Tieste tries untrodden ways, incompatible with the dominant idea of tragedy at its epoch.Most of all, Tieste marks a rebellion against the aesthetic canons of Melchiorre Cesarotti (1730-1808), a well-known philosopher who had a deep influence in the theatrical field and who had established the standards of a good tragedy. Cesarotti‟s parameters were still those of the Enlightenment, and imposed a moral message to every tragedy, whose characters should be rewarded or punished on the basis of their goodness or their wickedness. For Cesarotti, a character would have encountered an unfavourable fate only as a consequence of a moral crime. His virtue, instead, would have avoided any danger.In Foscolo, on the contrary, there is no providence, and the destiny of human beings doesn‟t depend on their behaviour. Virtuous characters are powerless and succumb without even understanding why, while the evil tyrant triumphs, moved only by his sadism.The evil is ineffable and inexplicable, and Reason, which solves every problem in Cesarotti‟s Weltanschauung, is now helpless and meaningless. Foscolo‟s first tragedy therefore represents the transition from an Ancien Régime world view to the phantoms and the nightmares of the contemporary age, when no certitude is possible anymore
