  • 1 Matt Phillips, 'French Studies: Literature, 2000 to the Present Day
    1 Matt Phillips, ‘French Studies: Literature, 2000 to the Present Day’, Year’s Work in Modern Language Studies, 80 (2020), 209–260 DOI for published version: https://doi.org/10.1163/22224297-08001010 [TT] Literature, 2000 to the Present Day [A] Matt Phillips, Royal Holloway, University of London This survey covers the years 2017 and 2018 [H2]1. General Alexandre Gefen, Réparer le monde: la littérature française face au XXIe siècle, Corti, 2017, 392 pp., argues that contemporary French literature has undergone a therapeutic turn, with both writing and reading now conceived in terms of healing, helping, and doing good. G. defends this thesis with extraordinary thoroughness as he examines the turn’s various guises: as objects of literature’s care here feature the self and its fractures; trauma, both individual and collective; illness, mental and physical; mourning and forgetfulness, personal and historical; and endangered bonds, with humans and beyond, on local and global scales. This amounts to what G. calls a new ‘paradigme clinique’ and, like any paradigm shift, this one appears replete with contradictions, tensions, and opponents, not least owing to the residual influence of preceding paradigms; G.’s analysis is especially impressive when unpicking the ways in which contemporary writers negotiate their sustained attachments to a formal, intransitive conception of literature, and/or more overtly revolutionary political projects. His thesis is supported by an enviable breadth of reference: G. lays out the diverse intellectual, technological, and socioeconomic histories at work in this development, and touches on close to 200 contemporary writers. Given the broad, synthetic nature of the work’s endeavour, individual writers/works are rarely discussed for longer than a page, and though G.’s commentary is always insightful, specialists on particular authors or social/historical trends will surely find much to work with and against here.

    Irina Anastasyeva Readings of Russian novels in the context of intercultural exchange Abstract: The article deals with the concept of Modernism and Postmodernism developed in the novels by an Argentinean author F. Andahazi «Conquistador» and «City of Heretics» in relation to the concept of Russian modernism and in relation to the European cultural tradition. Key words: Andahazi, Leopoldo Zea, Fry Bernardino de Sahagun, VI. Soloviev, Brusov, Rozanov, Minsky, Merezhkovsky, European civilization, the Old World and the New World, Mexican myths, Christianity, Latin American Renaissance, modernism, the Silver Age Аннотация: В статье рассматриваются понятия модернизма и постмодер- низма, представленные в романах аргентинского автора Ф. Андахази «Кон- кистадор» и «Город еретиков», в соотношении с концепцией русского модер- низма и европейской культурной традицией. Ключевые слова: Андахази, Леопольдо Сеа, Фрай Бернардино де Саагун, Вл. Соловьев, Брюсов, Розанов, Минский, Мережковский, европейская ци- вилизация, Старый свет и Новый свет, мексиканские мифы, христинаство, Латино-Американский ренессанс, модернизм, Серебряный век «Modernism in art and aesthetic theory which is closely associated with the general movement of bourgeois social thoughts in the era of decline reveals itself fi rst of all through a devastating break with classical tradition»1, – said M. Lif- shitz. It is well-known that withdrawal from the tradition revealed itself both in the aesthetics and ethics. Nowadays there is a signifi cant number of studies of specifi c features of European modern culture. It is very interesting to see how modern aesthetics penetrate into a little-studied area – the philosophy and litera- ture of Latin America. 1 Lifshitz M. Ancient and modern mythology / Лифшиц М.

  • AATI@Cagliari June 20 – 25, 2018 Accepted Sessions
    AATI@Cagliari June 20 – 25, 2018 Accepted Sessions Session 57: I percorsi e i risultati della filologia deleddiana: verso una edizione nazionale dell’opera omnia. Organizzatore: Dino Manca (Università degli Studi di Sassari), ([email protected]). OBIETTIVI: La sessione proposta vuole essere un omaggio alla personalità e all’opera di Grazia Deledda. Tramite l’operazione artistica della scrittrice nuorese, culminata col premio Nobel (prima donna in Italia e seconda al mondo), la Sardegna è entrata, infatti, a far parte dell’immaginario europeo. Oggi gli studiosi hanno a loro disposizione una buona bibliografia che, soprattutto negli ultimi anni, ha – grazie agli apporti della filologia, della linguistica e dell’antropologia – aggiornato, se non riveduto e corretto, una vecchia vulgata critica che non di rado ha relegato la sua figura in ambiti esclusivamente nazionali se non addirittura regionali. Finalmente si può parlare, alla luce delle ultime ricerche, di una grande scrittrice europea di respiro universale. I nuovi studi, infatti, dimostrano (attraverso le inedite indagini sulla produzione, restituzione, circolazione e fruizione del testo) come e quanto la sua opera abbia nel Novecento rivestito un ruolo importante in un contesto internazionale, grazie alla sua capacità di suscitare nel lettore europeo (e non solo italiano) un bisogno di autenticità, grazie all’appassionata rappresentazione dell’«automodello» sardo e alla proiezione simbolica del suo universale concreto. Tuttavia, lo stato dell’arte evidenzia ancora importanti lacune nelle ricerche. Finora, ad esempio, si è dedicata scarsa attenzione alle relazioni tra la produzione precoce e i romanzi della maturità. Ci si dovrà sempre più applicare sulle questioni filologiche e linguistiche che, misurando l’impatto della variazione sulle diverse redazioni della medesima opera a distanza di decenni, potrebbero aiutarci a ricostruire porzioni importanti del quadro movimentato della stagione durante la quale la lingua degli italiani si andava assestando.

  • Molisans Between Transoceanic Vocations and the Lure of the Continent
    / 4 / 2011 / Migrations Molisans between transoceanic vocations and the lure of the Continent by Norberto Lombardi 1. The opening up of hyper-rural Molise After the armies had passed through Molise, on the morrow of the end of World War II, Molisans’ main preoccupation was not leaving their land and looking for better job and life prospects abroad. There were more immediate concerns, such as the return of prisoners, the high cost of living, rebuilding bombed towns, restoring roads and railways, restoring the water and electricity supply, and finding raw materials for artisanal activities. The recovery of the area was thus seen in a rather narrow perspective, as the healing of the wounds inflicted by the war to local society and the productive infrastructure, or, at most, as a reinforcement and development of traditional activities. The only sector where this perspective broadened was that of interregional transportation. The hope was to overcome the isolation of the region, although as a long-term project. When one peruses the local pages of the more or less politically engaged newspapers and journals that appeared with the return of democracy, and when one looks at institutional activities, especially those of the Consiglio provinciale di Campobasso, one is even surprised by the paucity and belatedness of references to the theme of emigration, deeply rooted as it is in the social conditions and culture of the Molisans.1 For example, one has to wait until 1949 for a report from Agnone, one of the historical epicenters of Molisan migration, to appear in the newspaper Il Messaggero.2 The report 1 For an overview of the phenomenon of migration in the history of the region, see Ricciarda Simoncelli, Il Molise.
