Drawing on his letters, essays, critical reviews, and fiction, as well as a wide range of works -- primarily urban planning and design theory and history -- circulating among his primary interlocutors, this book takes as its point of departure a sweeping reinterpretation of Invisible Cities. Passages from Calvino's most famous novel routinely appear as aphorisms in calendars, posters, and the popular literature of inspiration and self-help, reducing the novel to vague abstractions and totalizing wisdom about thinking outside the box.
The shadow of postmodern studies has had a similarly diminishing effect on this text, rendering up an accomplished but ultimately apolitical novelistic experimentation in endless deconstructive deferrals, the shiny surfaces of play, and the ultimately rigged game of self-referentiality. In contrast, this study draws on an archive of untranslated Italian- and French-language materials on urban planning, architecture, and utopian architecture to argue that Calvino's novel in fact introduces readers to the material history of urban renewal in Italy, France, and the U.S.
In the 1960s, as well as the multidisciplinary core of cultural life in that decade: the complex and continuous interplay among novelists and architects, scientists and artists, literary historians and visual studies scholars. His last love poem for the dying city was in fact profoundly engaged, deeply committed to the ethical dimensions of both architecture and lived experience in the spaces of modernity as well as the resistant practices of reading and utopian imagining that his urban studies in turn inspired.

Author by: Tommasina Gabriele Language: en Publisher by: Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 68 Total Download: 395 File Size: 51,7 Mb Description: Tommasina Gabriele's critical text addresses the paucity of intertextual studies on the erotic in Calvino's work. While Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore and Le cosmicomiche have generated some attention to the erotic, eros nonetheless remains virtually unexplored in its widest scope - despite its prevalence and centrality in the majority of Calvino's narratives, from his Racconti to I nostri antenati to his posthumous, unfinished Sotto il sole giaguaro.
Perhaps for this reason such texts as Gli amori difficili and Sotto il sole giaguaro have been discussed less by critics than many of Calvino's other neorealist or postmodern fictions. Gabriele's study begins with an assessment of the critical context in which Calvino has been framed and proceeds to the analysis of several articles in which Calvino addresses the erotic in literature. Using these articles and a pivotal interview as a theoretical base, Gabriele offers an explanation for the neglect of the erotic motif as well as a theory of eros in Calvino's work. She uncovers the apparent contradiction that while Calvino repeatedly advocated - throughout his career of forty-plus years - a precise language, this call for precision did not extend to erotic subject matter, where Calvino sometimes felt that 'direct representation' was virtually impossible. Gabriele finds that in Calvino the challenge of erotic representation is linked to the complexity of the writer's role, especially as articulated in Calvino's famous article, 'Cibernetica e fantasmi.'
Through this erotic lens, Gabriele examines Il barone rampante and the stories of Le cosmicomiche, Gli amori difficili, and Sotto il sole giaguaro, which establish the erotic as a fundamental and usually positive aspect of human identity and interaction. In Le cosmicomiche, she unveils a 'spiral' movement which functions both as a symbol of Calvino's erotic theory and as a symbol of Calvino's circumlocutory approach to it. In Gli amori, she explores the difficulty in expressing the erotic, while offering an alternative interpretation - a 'positive' one - of these often criticized characters and stories.
Finally, Gabriele identifies the magnitude of the erotic motif in 'Sotto il sole giaguaro.' Calvino reveals the negative side of eros in this brilliant, ambitious, and tightly knit story which interweaves sexual, historical, religious, cultural, and artistic struggles for power. Author by: Jonathan White Language: en Publisher by: University of Toronto Press Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 41 Total Download: 652 File Size: 48,6 Mb Description: In Italian Cultural Lineages, Jonathan White seeks answers to the elusive questions: what is Italian culture and what is the Italian identity? By tracing Italian life and art through several themes – viewing and spectatorship, fantasy, passion, justice, reputation, and lifestyles – White offers new ways of perceiving an ancient cultural tradition in the twenty-first century. In doing so, he challenges readers to discern rich poetic seams that bind together his varied subject matter. Italian Cultural Lineages is primarily concerned with factors that unify Italians, however geographically dispersed they may be. Thullatha Manamum Thullum Mp4 Hd Video Songs Download. Drawing on extensive archival and historical research, White shows how oftentimes Italian cultural traditions that appear to be extinct are, in fact, enduring – pushed out of the mainstream or submerged at some given point in history, only to re-surface and take on new meanings at a later date.
Other, more marginal currents might disrupt and fragment Italian identity, politically and socially. However, White proposes that the challenge to Italy in these new and difficult lessons in tolerance has the potential to produce a much stronger culture, primed to welcome the marginal into an expanded spirit of all that counts as Italian.
Ideally suited to course use, and written with great lucidity, Italian Cultural Lineages will prove fascinating to students, academics, and general readers alike. Author by: Eugenio Bolongaro Language: en Publisher by: University of Toronto Press Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 64 Total Download: 415 File Size: 43,8 Mb Description: Looking at five of Italo Calvino's often neglected early novels: The Young People of Po, The Cloven Viscount, The Baron in the Trees, The Non-Existent Knight, and The Watcher, Eugenio Bolongaro argues that these works, written between 1948 and 1963, contain a sustained meditation on the role of the intellectual and on the irreducible ethical and political dimension of literature. This meditation provides an insight into a crucial moment in Calvino's development as a writer, and allows Bolongaro to lay the groundwork for a more 'political' reading of Calvino's later work.
Italo Calvino and the Compass of Literature firmly situates Calvino within his historical context - the cultural revival of post-World War II Italy - by relating these early novels to Calvino's political and critical writings which played an important role in the cultural debates of the time. This approach provides a key to understanding Calvino's work in a new light, ably demonstrating that Calvino's full literary significance cannot be understood in isolation from the politics and cultural movements of the period. One of the few book-length English-language works on Calvino's early writings, Italo Calvino and the Compass of Literatur will prove to be an indispensable tool to Italianists and literary studies scholars.
