A Clown’s Journey: 3 X 7

Author(s): Natalia Afeyan / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

A clown travels through times and identities. A personage is handed over to different creators and audiences. A voice changes its purpose.

When and where is this journey going to end? – We don’t know.

Alcune considerazioni su Pinocchio in romeno

Author(s): Otilia-Ștefania Damian / Language(s): Italian Issue: Suppl./2021

Our research is focused on the book Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, one of the most translated works of the Italian literature. In Romanian, the book has several re-translations, old and modern (integral editions, abbreviated editions, illustrated editions, etc.). Using the concepts of Coșeriu’s theory of translation (Coșeriu, 2009), especially his references to meaning, designation and sense (Coșeriu,1991: 220-221), we analysed some of the most important re-translationsin a semasiological and onomasiological approach. We turned our attention to some full editions, from the oldest ones (Al. Buzescu, R. Alexandrescu, D.D. Panaitescu) to some modern editions. We tried to investigate the reasons behind the re-translation process and, of course, the results of this process (especially some solutions to translation difficulties, some of them culture-specific items, such as personal names or foodstuffs, but also stylistic elements).

Alexandru Balaci e la comunicazione interculturale italo-romena

Author(s): Anamaria Gebaila,Aurora Firţa-Marin,Corina Anton / Language(s): Italian Issue: 2/2021

The article presents the essential role played by professor Alexandru Balaci in the intercultural communication between Italy and Romania in the communist period. The first part focuses on his relationship with communist censorship. Thanks to his membership in the Communist Party, as well as to his high position in the academia, Balaci sometimes manages to evade censorship and to promote works of art which were considered subversive by the authorities. Two examples illustrate his prestige and influence in the cultural scene. Balaci introduces information about Pasolini’s Il Decameron in an interview in Cinema, a film magazine which never mentions this famous masterpiece. He even manages to have Francesco Jovine’s Terre del Sacramento published, after having been initially rejected by censors. The second part of the article presents the activity carried out by Balaci in Rome, as director of the Accademia di Romania, and the difficulties encountered in the relationship with the Romanian institutions.

Apotropejska Muka Isuskarstova: tragovi kolanja jednoga oblika ranonovovjekovne pučke pobožnosti Kristovim ranama i krvi u hrvatskoglagoljskoj rukopisnoj kulturi

Author(s): Josip Vučković / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 2/2021

The Passion of Jesus Christ is a popular devotional text created to promote the worship of Christ’s blood and wounds. It originated in the early modern times as an echo of late medieval listing and counting forms of piety. A typical early modern version of the Passion of Jesus Christ consists of Christ’s address to three women mystics who prayed for a revelation of the number of blows and drops of blood he shed during the Passion, a description of devotional practice in honor of the Passion, a list of graces that can be obtained by such devotion, and the attribution of apotropaic properties to its copies. It has been shown that the text was circulated in numerous cultures (e.g., English, Ethiopian, German, Irish, Italian), however, its early modern dissemination in the cultural area of Glagolitic literacy has not been treated. This paper analyzes the surviving Croatian Glagolitic attestations of the Passion of Jesus Christ by situating them in a broader comparative context. The comparison of the Croatian Glagolitic Passion of Jesus Christ with an Italian amulet found in Roccapelago (Emilia-Romagna) revealed that this text appeared in the Croatian Glagolitic cultural area as the result of a trans-Adriatic cultural transfer. Moreover, the paper shows that Croatian Glagolitic writers not only disseminated the Passion of Jesus Christ in codices, but indeed utilized it as a template in the production of textual amulets.

Autobiografia wojownika kultury: Elio Vittorini i jego Diario in pubblico

Author(s): Angelo Rella / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2021

In 1957, while the first tenth anniversary of the proclamation of the Italian Republic was being celebrated, the most eclectic writer and intellectual on the Italian cultural scene of the XIX century, once again stirred by the “demon of anticipation”, published his Diario in pubblico. The singular book, that mixes and combines fragments of essays and extracts from a diary in a great “novel of ideas”, has to be understood both as an intellectual autobiography and as an “active study” of the socio-political and artistic events that affected Italy and Europe from the 1920s to the 1950s and which influenced the personality of the writer.

Bernardo Bertolucci film “Konformist” Nõukogude Liidus: kuidas loob tsensuur uue teose?

Author(s): Tiina Hoffmann / Language(s): Estonian Issue: 16/2019

The article analyses Bernardo Bertolucci’s screen adaptation (1970) of Alberto Moravia’s novel “The Conformist” in comparison with the censored version of the film released in the Soviet Union in 1976. Attention is paid foremost to the dubbed Russian version’s visual cuts and translation shifts, which amount to the creation of a new, castrated version that is approximately 30 minutes shorter than the original film and that ideologically corresponds to the then-dominant Soviet discourse of representing fascism. The article demonstrates how in this new, censored version where Bertolucci’s complex narrative is transformed into a linear narrative (that surprisingly makes it closer to the original novel by Moravia), the characters’ psychological inner worlds and Bertolucci’s storyworld conveyed through images, sounds and language have become lost in translation.

BLAŽE KONESKI E DANTE ALIGHIERI – OMAGGIO AI POETI E ALLA POESIA

Author(s): Anastasija Gjurčinova / Language(s): Italian Issue: 12/2021

2021 marks two important centenaries: it is both 100 years from the birth of the Macedonian poet Blaže Koneski, and 700 years from the death of the father of the Italian language, Dante Alighieri. This paper compares the two authors, discussing their poetic ideas and their position in their respective cultures. The comparison is proposed from the point of view of the symbiosis of the role of poet and linguist in their important cultural contribution, of a national character, in particular in their commitment to the constitution of the literary language. Furthermore, both poets followed their "poetic intuition" in order to give a particular vitality to their linguistic conceptions. Finally, Koneski's poem entitled "Dante" is analysed, where the Macedonian author reflects some of his most intimate existential dilemmas in a creative dialogue with the great Italian poet.

The works of Frane Petrić have been studied intensively in Croatia and abroad in the last decades. Petrić does not stop to amaze us with his great erudition.

CELL-PHONE NOVELS: UN PUNTO DI VISTA LINGUISTICO-LETTERARIO (E SOCIO-CULTURALE) DIETRO IL FENOMENO DEI ROMANZI SU CELLULARE IN ITALIA

Author(s): Mariantonia Tramite / Language(s): Italian Issue: 11/2021

The following paper will be examining the socio-literary phenomenon of cell-phone novels born in Japan (originally known as keitai shousetsu) in the early years of the 2000s and subsequently spread to the Western countries, including America and Europe. In the subsequent paragraphs, there lies a description regarding the nature, the genesis and the structure of these works on mobile phones, including some examples of these successful novels which will be listed and presented (from the native land and the American and the European areas as well, especially from the German-speaking ones) and have been able to shake the publishing market, as well as illustrating the phenomenon from a linguistic and literary point of view, which reveals similarities with the language of SMS and chats. One of the key-objectives is to clarify the reasons why cell-phone novels have not discovered fertile ground in Italy: although some socio-cultural reasons behind their lack of success in this country are suggested, there are still alternative literary genres collimating with new technologies to be found, such as "hybrid novels" from the "digital" or "electronic literature". The signals of the changing literature are present: in the future, there lies the hope to continue observing the evolution of writing and reading, as well as their role in the digital age alongside the technological development.

CESARE PAVESE’NİN AY VE ŞENLİK ATEŞLERİ ADLI ROMANININ MONOMİT TEORİSİ BAĞLAMINDA İNCELENMESİ

Author(s): Oğuz Koran / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 91/2022

Myths are symbolic narratives that date back to ancient times. These narratives undoubtedly have a very important place in understanding, recognizing, and interpreting people. Myth and Mythology have a strong connection with disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, sociology, literature, philosophy, and history of religions. Starting from the collective unconscious of Jung, Joseph Campbell, the founder of analytical psychology, aims to reveal the common aspects and similarities of myths. In this study, the journey of Anguilla, the hero of Cesare Pavese's novel La luna e i falò, will be examined in the context of the monomyth theory expressed by Joseph Campbell, who argues that all myths arise from a single myth and its variations.

Author(s): Albert Kozik / Language(s): English Issue: 9/2021

This article examines the description of the Changchun Garden in eighteenth-century Beijing, featured in Matteo Ripa’s Storia della Fondazione della Congregazione e del Collegio de’ Cinesi. An Italian missionary at the court of the Kangxi Emperor, Ripa had a chance to see and describe both the imperial parks and the intricacies of Chinese court etiquette. His detailed account, a precious source of information on the Changchun park, was accompanied by commentaries aimed at explaining the differences between “European” and “Chinese” aesthetic values. Therefore, this article offers a critical analysis of the account as a historical source, discussing the accuracy of some of the details described by Ripa, and subsequently provides an interpretation of the way he perceived Chinese parks, with an emphasis on his explanations of the “Chinese style” of laying out gardens. Finally, the last part of the article is dedicated to a comparison between a Neapolitan nativity scene (presepio) and the Qing gardens as drawn by Ripa at the end of his description, in order to demonstrate the “artificial naturalness” of Chinese parks.

Dallo spazio al paesaggio nei poeti crepuscolari

Author(s): Daniela Crăciun / Language(s): Italian Issue: 2/2021

The article aims to describe the forms and ways of spatial and landscape representation in the texts of some Italian poets from the first years of the XX century(Guido Gozzano, Corrado Govoni, Marino Moretti) considering the two concepts of reference (space and landscape), not separately, but in dialectical relation.

Eleonora Duse and the Poetic Debut of Sara Teasdale

Author(s): Maria Pia Pagani / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

This paper analyzes the impact of the figure of Eleonora Duse on the poetess Sara Teasdale, who included in her first collection a series of lyrics dedicated to her (Sonnets to Duse and Other Poems, 1907), and also considered her in the following collection (Helen of Troy and Other Poems, 1911). Teasdale never saw Duse acting, but the great Italian actress accompanied the young American poetess in her poetic debut, thanks to which she managed to overcome a difficult period due to health problems. Duse became her guide, helping her to develop an aesthetic as a poetess and to reveal her inner world. Some of these compositions were also taken up by the American press in 1922 and 1923, on the occasion of Duse’s last tour in the United States. With her appreciated poetry, Teasdale helped to consolidate the myth of Duse in the Twentieth century.

ELIO VITTORINI E CESARE PAVESE: FUGA E RITORNO ALLA TERRA MADRE E ALL’INFANZIA TRA REALTÀ E ASTRAZIONE SIMBOLICA

Author(s): Marcella Di Franco / Language(s): Italian Issue: 8/2019

The essay aims to investigate the theme of escape and return to the motherland in Elio Vittorini compared with the carefree innocence of childhood in Cesare Pavese. Central figures in Italian literature of the first half of the twentieth century, to both authors, the land of origin and childhood lost and regretted, become emblems of escapism in “space” and “time” from an alienating reality and only apparently accepted. In Vittorini the nostos returning to his island, rises to the paradigm of an offended humanity, of the pain of the world, mythical space, timeless, primordial land, immersed in a fantastic aura, pervaded by the poignant desire to “return” to an innocent place, away from the existential anguish and ugliness of history. The chronotope of childhood and the “mother -Earth” returns insisted also in Cesare Pavese opposing the civilization of progress, the industrial reality that Italy was experiencing after the Second World War which made it impossible to return nostalgic to a romantic civilization - decadent, with its atavistic values now at sunset.
