  • Immortal Words: the Language and Style of the Contemporary Italian Undead-Romance Novel
    Immortal Words: the Language and Style of the Contemporary Italian Undead-Romance Novel by Christina Vani A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Italian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Christina Vani 2018 Immortal Words: the Language and Style of the Contemporary Italian Undead-Romance Novel Christina Vani Doctor of Philosophy Department of Italian Studies University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This thesis explores the language and style of six “undead romances” by four contemporary Italian women authors. I begin by defining the undead romance, trace its roots across horror and romance genres, and examine the subgenres under the horror-romance umbrella. The Trilogia di Mirta-Luna by Chiara Palazzolo features a 19-year-old sentient zombie as the protagonist: upon waking from death, Mirta-Luna searches the Subasio region for her love… but also for human flesh. These novels present a unique interpretation of the contemporary “vampire romance” subgenre, as they employ a style influenced by Palazzolo’s American and British literary idols, including Cormac McCarthy’s dialogic style, but they also contain significant lexical traces of the Cannibali and their contemporaries. The final three works from the A cena col vampiro series are Moonlight rainbow by Violet Folgorata, Raining stars by Michaela Dooley, and Porcaccia, un vampiro! by Giusy De Nicolo. The first two are fan-fiction works inspired by Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga, while the last is an original queer vampire romance. These novels exhibit linguistic and stylistic traits in stark contrast with the Trilogia’s, though Porcaccia has more in common with Mirta-Luna than first meets the eye.

    The Photographic Eye: Poetry and the Visual in 1950s and 1960s Italian Experimental Writers Elena Carletti Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2020 This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. I acknowledge that this thesis has been read and proofread by Dr. Nina Seja. I acknowledge that parts of the analysis on Amelia Rosselli, contained in Chapter Four, have been used in the following publication: Carletti, Elena. “Photography and ‘Spazi metrici.’” In Deconstructing the Model in 20th and 20st-Century Italian Experimental Writings, edited by Beppe Cavatorta and Federica Santini, 82– 101. Newcastle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2019. Abstract This PhD thesis argues that, in the 1950s and 1960s, several Italian experimental writers developed photographic and cinematic modes of writing with the aim to innovate poetic form and content. By adopting an interdisciplinary framework, which intersects literary studies with visual and intermedial studies, this thesis analyses the works of Antonio Porta, Amelia Rosselli, and Edoardo Sanguineti. These authors were particularly sensitive to photographic and cinematic media, which inspired their poetics. Antonio Porta’s poetry, for instance, develops in dialogue with the photographic culture of the time, and makes references to the photographs of crime news.

E un’invenzione melodica di grande freschezza e spontaneità. Con queste caratteristiche che hanno sempre permeato la sua produzione, ad Ildebrando Pizzetti (1880-1968) si deve una stagione felice della musica italiana che ha abbracciato quasi un secolo di vita, nel delicato passaggio dal diciannovesimo al ventesimo secolo. Come accaduto a compositori del calibro di Nino Rota, anche dell’autore emiliano si è troppo spesso parlato di «caso isolato», allorché non aveva abbracciato la dodecafonia, né le avanguardie più estreme, per non parlare della «musique concrète» o elettronica.

  • 1 Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)
    1 Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) Introduction The playwright Bertolt Brecht labored for two decades over his anti–Third Reich play Leben des Galilei. The seventh scene is set on March 5, 1616, just as the Inquisition has censured the Coper­ nican texts positing the heliocentric model of the universe. Galileo learns of this event during a conversation with several cardinals at a dinner party in Rome. Brecht dramatically captures the heart of Galileo’s religious faith: Barberini: He’s [i.e., Galileo is] really dreadful. In all innocence he accuses God of the juiciest boners in astronomy! I suppose God didn’t work hard enough at His astronomy before He wrote Holy Scripture? My dear friend! Bellarmine: Don’t you think it likely that the Creator knows more about His creation than any of His creatures? Galileo: But, gentlemen, after all we can misinterpret not only the movements of the heavenly bodies, but the Bible as well. 4 - CHAPTER 1 Bellarmine: But wouldn’t you say that after all the interpreta­ tion of the Bible is the business of the Holy Church? (Galileo is silent.)1 Galileo is silent because in fact he believes that the business of biblical interpretation, in the hands of fallible humans, can prove to be highly fallible. He is silent because he does not believe the Bible is meant to be read literally, and biblical literalism has been hardening into a new position within some circles of the Counter- reformation Catholic Church following the Council of Trent. Far from being a biblical literalist, Galileo believed that the Bible was intentionally simplified by the Church so that lay people could access its meaning.

By feminization, this dissertation refers both to the gradual assumption of the majority of elementary teaching positions by women and to a transformation in the nature of the position itself. Through an examination of educational periodicals, school records, government inquests, and accounts by teachers and pedagogical theorists, it argues that rather than the unintended consequence of economic constraints or shifting labor patterns, feminization was fundamentally connected to larger processes of centralization and modernization in the Italian school system. Following an introductory chapter outlining the major national, religious, and gender debates of ii the Unification era, the second chapter of the dissertation argues that the figure of the female elementary teacher became embroiled in the contest between local and national interests, furthering the drive toward centralization.

    'Round Midnight Variations Emanuele Arciuli, Pianist Thursday, November 14, 2002 at 8:00 P.M. American Piano Series Miller Theatre at Columbia University 2960 Broadway at 116th Street N.Y., N.Y. ______________________________________________________ What a fabulous idea! Commission a multitude of composers to write a variation(s) on the Thelonius Monk classic 'Round Midnight. Once the works arrive on delivery the challenge then becomes arranging the disparate works into a working order that will convey emotional verisimilitude and heft. Mr. Arciuli's arrangement of the works offers just those characteristics in plenty. The premise is to go through the hours of the day ruminating on the musical possibilities and richness of the song in all of it's variational and harmonic fullness. That it works so well is homage not just to the genius of Mr. Monk but to the fertile talents of Italian pianist Emanuele Arciuli. The first part of the program was a harbinger of the evening's showpiece. It featured three world premieres and two American premieres as well as composer George Crumb's extended opus, Eine Kleine Mitternachtmusik. The evening began with a suite entitled ...........Waiting for Monk. First up, Eric Reed's Variation (World Premiere and the first of two Miller commissions), offered a cool series of harmonics with some dissonant voicings although not too cool. This was followed by Uri Caine's Variation (World premiere) embodied by disparate juxtapositioning of rapid arpeggiated runs offset by stabbing angular chords. A virtuosic piece expertly played by Mr. Arciuli. Alberto Barbero's The Monk and Me (American premiere), is part of a larger work and wraps itself up in a study of the harmonic fourth, a standard of jazz repertory.

  • Galileo Galilei, Various Writings1
    1 Primary Source 8.4 GALILEO GALILEI, VARIOUS WRITINGS1 Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) was an Italian scientist who, having improved the telescope, perceived the mountains of the Moon, sunspots, the stars of the Milky Way, and four moons of Jupiter (the first planetary satellite discovered since prehistoric times) and confirmed the phases of Venus—much of which undermined the Aristotelian conception of an incorruptible and perfect celestial realm. Galileo’s discoveries inspired him to embrace the Copernican heliocentric system. The Roman Inquisition investigated his assertions and writings in 1616 and concluded that the Copernican theory could be propounded as a hypothesis but not as established fact. In 1632, after his friend and staunch supporter, Cardinal Maffeo Barberini, became Pope Urban VIII, he publicly, though in a rather veiled way, advocated heliocentrism in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, which seemed to ridicule the pope.
