Metoda analizy wizualnej dzieł Brunona Schulza w pracach Paola Caneppelego "La Repubblica dei Sogni" i "I Capelli della Cometa"
A Visual Approach to the Work of Bruno Schulz in Paolo Caneppele’s La Repubblica dei Sogni and I Capelli della Cometa

Summary/Abstract: The reception of the works of Bruno Schulz in Italy has been growing wider and more diversified in the last few years. Among the examples of such a reception there are two essays by Paolo Caneppele: La Repubblica dei Sogni Bruno Schulz, Cinema e Arti Figurativetra Galizia e Vienna (The Republic of Dreams: Bruno Schulz, Cinema and Figurative Artsbetween Galicia and Vienna, 2004) and I Capelli della Cometa. Di Esseri in Fiamme,Catastrofi Varie e Donne in Bicicletta (The Hair of the Comet. Of Beings on Fire, VariousCatastrophes and Women on the Bicycle, 2008). Caneppele, whose main research interestis in cinema, analyzes Schulz’s work through the lens of the visual, thus providing a theoryaccording to which everything produced by him (prose and paintings) is influenced bythe aspect of vision, color, and movement. The aim of this essay is not only to acknowledgethis particular reception of Schulz in Italy (and in Austria as well, as Caneppele is thehead of the film related material collection of the Austrian Film Museum in Vienna),but also to retrace the visual path embodying cinema, plastic arts, and fiction in his work,which is a strand of studies that can be furtherly expanded and explored.
