Così, in ottobre, lascia la Capitale italiana e raggiunge Bonn, dove si iscrive alla Rheinische Friedrich- Wilhelms-Universität e frequenta i corsi di Filologia romanza del professor Wendelin Foerster, con cui si laureerà nel marzo del 1891. Durante il periodo tedesco lavora moltissimo: risale ad allora il saggio critico Petrarca a Colonia; scrive Pasqua di Gea, una raccolta di poesie d’amore dedicate a Jenny Schulz-Lander, una ragazza tedesca con cui ha una relazione. Al 1889-1893 risale il Taccuino di Bonn, tuttora inedito, tranne qualche breve trascrizione di testi e immagini. Documento fondamentale sul «laboratorio creativo» del giovane Pirandello, il Taccuino è conservato nell’archivio della Biblioteca-museo regionale di Agrigento, intitolata al Premio Nobel siciliano. Molte le sorprese: dalle Elegie boreali (pubblicate poi con il titolo Elegie renane) agli appunti di viaggio (visita alla casa di Goethe), dai frammenti teatrali alle fiabe popolari agrigentine, riferimenti alla contrada Caos e a Porto Empedocle, oltre ad una sorta di block notes in cui annota considerazioni su vari argomenti.

Costui, che aveva compreso il mio carattere tenace, per quanto possa parer bizzarro, mi consigliò di terminare l’università in Germania e troncare così ogni spiacevole occasione d’urto con il detto professore, che era anche preside della facoltà di Lettere. Mi decisi pertanto di recarmi nella dotta Germania e scelsi la Università di Bonn», ricorda Luigi Pirandello nel Frammento d’autobiografia dettato all’amico Pio Spezi nel 1893. Probabilmente lo scrittore aveva già in mente di andare a studiare in Germania. Aggiunge, fra l’altro: «Studio il tedesco perché è vergogna massima non conoscerlo». Il 10 ottobre 1889, Pirandello parte per Bonn e si iscrive alla prestigiosa Rheinisch Friedrich-Wilhelms- Universität, sotto la guida di Wendelin Foerster, professore di filologia romanza. Alloggia all’Hôtel zum Münster, lo stesso albergo che ospita il pittore e mosaicista veneziano Giovanni Sambo, arrivato da Milano per rivestire la cupola del Duomo. Nell’albergo, inoltre, stringe amicizia con un giovane irlandese poliglotta, William Henry Agrigento: Luigi Pirandello davanti al Tempio della Concordia (1927).

  • Russian, Jewish Or Human? Jewish Mystical Thought in the Poetry of Bulat Shalvovich Okudzhava
    RUSSIAN, JEWISH OR HUMAN? JEWISH MYSTICAL THOUGHT IN THE POETRY OF BULAT SHALVOVICH OKUDZHAVA Katarzyna anna KornacKa-Sareło1 (Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań) Keywords: Bulat Shalvovich Okudzhava, poetry, imagology, Jewish mysticism, Jewish philosophy of dialogue Słowa kluczowe: Bułat Okudżawa, poezja, imagologia, mistycyzm żydowski, żydowska filozofia dialogu Abstract: Katarzyna Anna Kornacka-Sareło, RUSSIAN, JEWISH OR HUMAN? JEWISH MYSTI- CAL THOUGHT IN THE POETRY OF BULAT SHALVOVICH OKUDZHAVA. “PORÓWNA- NIA” 2 (21), 2017, P. 197–214. ISSN 1733-165X. While looking at the literary output of Bulat Shal- vovich Okudzhava from the perspective of imagology, one can see that the image of “the Other” in the poems of the Russian bard was created, paradoxically, just by this “Other”, and it was not constructed by the images (imagines) intrinsically present in the consciousness of the ethnocentric “Self” or “The Same”. In other words, in the case of Okudzhava’s poetry, the image of “the Other” stands on the basis of some ideas of Jewish mystics and the ones of Jewish philosophers of dia- logue (Martin Buber, Franz Rosenzweig and Emmanuel Lévinas). Therefore, the aim of this article was to present the motifs stemming from Jewish mysticism in the poems-songs by Okudzhava which, as it seems, influenced theological, anthropological and ethical views of the bard. The distinctive feature of Okudzhava’s philosophical approach is perceiving every person, regardless of their ethnic or cultural origin, as a being responsible for themselves in the process of constitut- ing themselves in their humanity. The same person is also responsible for other people, for the world of nature, and even for an impersonal and non-anthropomorphic godhead who does not intervene in human affairs.

ABSTRACT In our studies we tried to define the position of Kosovo Turkish Literature as a part of Balkan Turkish Literature subject and we have discovered the place of the magazine called “Çevren” in Balkan Turkish Literature which is published by the “Tan” house of publishing in the capital city of Kosovo Pristina, published from 1973 to 1992. In the additional part we have completed the bibliography of the “Çevren” magazine starting from the 1. to the 92. edition completing the almost 20 year old publishing life. We have separated the card indexes and hatches in two parts. The first part is a clasification of the writers by their alphabetic order, and the second part is clasification of the writers by their genres. iii ÖNSÖZ Balkan Türk Edebiyatının bir parçası olan Kosova Türk Edebiyatı üzerinde yaptığımız bu çalışmamızda, Kosova’nın Priştine kentinde 1973 yılından 1992 yılına kadar “Tan” yayınlarınca yayınlanan “Çevren” dergisinin Balkan Türk Edebiyatlarındaki yerini tespit etmek olmuştur.

I analyze different visual and narrative strategies developed by the directors of youth cinema during the Brezhnev period as mechanisms for circumventing ideological control over cultural production.

  • A Writer's Calendar
    A WRITER’S CALENDAR Compiled by J. L. Herrera for my mother and with special thanks to Rose Brown, Peter Jones, Eve Masterman, Yvonne Stadler, Marie-France Sagot, Jo Cauffman, Tom Errey and Gianni Ferrara INTRODUCTION I began the original calendar simply as a present for my mother, thinking it would be an easy matter to fill up 365 spaces. Instead it turned into an ongoing habit. Every time I did some tidying up out would flutter more grubby little notes to myself, written on the backs of envelopes, bank withdrawal forms, anything, and containing yet more names and dates. It seemed, then, a small step from filling in blank squares to letting myself run wild with the myriad little interesting snippets picked up in my hunting and adding the occasional opinion or memory. The beginning and the end were obvious enough. The trouble was the middle; the book was like a concertina — infinitely expandable. And I found, so much fun had the exercise become, that I was reluctant to say to myself, no more. Understandably, I’ve been dependent on other people’s memories and record- keeping and have learnt that even the weightiest of tomes do not always agree on such basic ‘facts’ as people’s birthdays. So my apologies for the discrepancies which may have crept in. In the meantime — Many Happy Returns! Jennie Herrera 1995 2 A Writer’s Calendar January 1st: Ouida J. D. Salinger Maria Edgeworth E. M.

  • Full Thesis Draft No Pics
    A whole new world: Global revolution and Australian social movements in the long Sixties Jon Piccini BA Honours (1st Class) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of History, Philosophy, Religion & Classics Abstract This thesis explores Australian social movements during the long Sixties through a transnational prism, identifying how the flow of people and ideas across borders was central to the growth and development of diverse campaigns for political change. By making use of a variety of sources—from archives and government reports to newspapers, interviews and memoirs—it identifies a broadening of the radical imagination within movements seeking rights for Indigenous Australians, the lifting of censorship, women’s liberation, the ending of the war in Vietnam and many others. It locates early global influences, such as the Chinese Revolution and increasing consciousness of anti-racist struggles in South Africa and the American South, and the ways in which ideas from these and other overseas sources became central to the practice of Australian social movements. This was a process aided by activists’ travel. Accordingly, this study analyses the diverse motives and experiences of Australian activists who visited revolutionary hotspots from China and Vietnam to Czechoslovakia, Algeria, France and the United States: to protest, to experience or to bring back lessons. While these overseas exploits, breathlessly recounted in articles, interviews and books, were transformative for some, they also exposed the limits of what a transnational politics could achieve in a local setting. Australia also became a destination for the period’s radical activists, provoking equally divisive responses.

  • Poetry (Theory)
    POETRY (THEORY) Radio Broadcast 23 Sept 18:00 -19:00 STUDY NOTES Poetry analysis is often the basis for teaching literature in the classroom. If you've been to school, you've probably had to study some form of literature, and your teacher has almost certainly demonstrated the analysis of poetry or even asked you to do it. It can seem like a frightening task, but if you've looked at the way poets use language and you make an effort to understand some the things that might have been happening in history at the time the poet was writing, you've already got an edge. How to analyse poems Read the poem more than once. Use a dictionary when you find a word about whose meaning you are unsure. Read the poem slowly. Pay attention to what the poem is saying; do not be distracted by the rhyme and rhythm of the poem. Try reading the poem out loud to get a sense of the way the sounds of the poem affect its meaning. Six Easy Ways To Understand Poetry: Read the poem all the way through.
