  • The Myth of the Great War: Hugo Pratt's World War I Graphic Novel
    Umberto Rossi The Myth of the Great War: Hugo Pratt’s World War I Graphic Novel and Stories Quando ho voglia di rilassarmi leggo un saggio di Engels, se invece desidero impegnarmi leggo Corto Maltese [When I want to relax I read an essay by Engels; when I want something more serious I read Corto Maltese]. (Umberto Eco, quoted in Pratt 1994, 345; my translation) Abstract: This article examines seven graphic narratives by the Italian graphic artist and writer Hugo Pratt. The article reads these narratives in connection with the myth of the Great War as it was defined by the Italian historian and literary critic Isnenghi in 1970 in his groundbreaking monograph Il mito della grande guerra. However, these graphic narratives present readers with a bewildering mix of historical/quasi-historical characters, real and imaginary places, often establishing surprising and complex intertextual short-circuits that connect Pratt’s World War I narratives, history, and the historical imagination. This reading can help us to understand why a comparative approach is unavoidable when dealing with graphic narratives, especially those dealing with historical events – like World War I – which impacted several countries across more than one continent. Keywords: Corto Maltese, Hugo Pratt, myth, post-memory, Wold War I 1 Introduction: Comics studies and war literature studies Comics studies is not, or should not be, conceived as an island, entire of itself; it may benefit from other, older disciplines, and may in turn contribute to their development. This is what Kai Mikkonen maintains in his recent monograph The Narratology of Comic Art: One key finding in this study is that narratological insights into the organisation, presenta- tion, and mediation of stories cannot be transferred from one medium to another without due modification.

The Bolshevik forces in the Russian civil war used a wide range of armoured trains. Many were improvised by locals, others were constructed by naval engineers at the Putilov and Izhorskiy factories. As a result, the trains ranged from little more than sandbagged flatbeds to the heavily armed and armoured trains produced by the naval engineers. An attempt to standardise the design from October 1919 only had limited success. By the end of the war the Bolshevik forces had 103 armoured trains of all types.

  • 1 La Déshistoricisation De L'enfance Dans L'œuvre Graphique D'hugo
    La déshistoricisation de l’enfance dans l’œuvre graphique d’Hugo Pratt Jean-Marc Rivière Aix Marseille Univ, CAER, Aix-en-Provence, France Résumé : Bien que nourrie de l’expérience biographique de l’auteur, tout particulièrement de celle de ses jeunes années vénitiennes, l’œuvre graphique d’Hugo Pratt s’ouvre peu à la représentation de l’enfance. Celle-ci est incarnée par de rares personnages qui, dans l’économie des récits où ils apparaissent, jouent un rôle essentiellement fonctionnel et voient niées leur détermination individuelle comme leur insertion dans la temporalité historique commune. Catalyseur de l’esprit d’aventure cher à l’auteur ou connecteur vers le monde du mythe, l’enfance s’avère toutefois être un élément basilaire de l’interrogation ontologique que mène Pratt dans son œuvre. Riassunto: Benché arricchita dall’esperienza biografica dell’autore, in particolare dalla sua gioventù veneziana, l’opera grafica di Hugo Pratt è poco permeata dalla rappresentazione dell’infanzia. Essa è incarnata da pochi personaggi che, nell’economia dei racconti in cui appaiono, hanno un ruolo essenzialmente funzionale e vedono negata la loro determinazione individuale così come la loro inserzione nella temporalità storica comune. Catalizzatore dello spirito avventuroso caro all’autore oppure strumento di una connessione con il mondo del mito, l’infanzia è tuttavia un elemento essenziale della riflessione ontologica proseguita da Pratt nella sua opera. 1 « Tous les grands conteurs », a écrit Walter Benjamin, « ont en commun l’aisance avec laquelle ils montent et descendent les échelons de leur expérience, comme ceux d’une échelle1 ». On pourrait ajouter au sujet d’Hugo Pratt, que, s’il n’a eu de cesse de parcourir l’échelle diachronique de son expérience individuelle, puisant dans son propre parcours biographique la base contextuelle et anecdotique de son œuvre, il y a mêlé de multiples influences exogènes, thématiques aussi bien que formelles.

  • La Quête Imperfetta Di Corto Maltese. Dal Conte Du Graal a Le Elvetiche – Rosa Alchemica
    Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Filologia e letteratura italiana Tesi di Laurea La quête imperfetta di Corto Maltese. Dal Conte du Graal a Le Elvetiche – Rosa Alchemica Relatore Ch. Prof. Eugenio Burgio Correlatore Ch. Prof. Alessandro Cinquegrani Ch. Prof.ssa Silvana Tamiozzo Laureando Alvise Filippo Stefani Matricola 847026 Anno Accademico 2017 / 2018 ABSTRACT Il mito del Graal ha permeato la cultura occidentale sin dal Medioevo, quando il poeta Chrétien de Troyes (1135-1190) scrisse l'incompiuto Conte du Graal. La mancanza di una conclusione del roman in versi, dovuta alla prematura morte del suo autore, portò nell'arco di pochi decenni alla realizzazione sia di prosecuzioni e conclusioni anonime, che vere e proprie riscritture della storia del Graal: un fenomeno che interessò non solamente l'area francese in cui Chrétien aveva operato, ma coinvolse anche l'area tedesca, dando origine al Parzival del poeta Wolfram von Eschenbach (1179-1220). Ma così come l'interesse per il Graal si era sollevato con improvvisa rapidità nel clima culturale del tempo, con altrettanta radicalità esso scomparve alle soglie del Cinquecento. Un sonno che durò secoli, fino a che un compositore tedesco lo riportò in vita il 26 luglio 1882, sul palcoscenico del Festspielhaus di Bayreuth: questa infatti la data della prima rappresentazione del Parsifal di Richard Wagner (1813-1883). A partire da quel momento, il Graal ha nuovamente e stabilmente goduto di un interesse ed uno studio che vanno oltre il mondo accademico e specialistico, rivelando anzi una indiscussa vitalità pop della Sacra Coppa – vitalità purtroppo affatto filologica. La presente tesi intende esplorare come il mito graaliano venga affrontato e persino riconfigurato dalla Modernità attraverso una sua particolare rilettura contenuta ne Le Elvetiche – Rosa alchemica (1988) di Hugo Pratt (1927-1995).
