  • Philosophical Fables for Ecological Thinking: Resisting Environmental Catastrophe Within the Anthropocene
    Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Kingston School of Art, Kingston University Philosophical Fables for Ecological Thinking: Resisting Environmental Catastrophe within the Anthropocene Alice GIBSON Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy February 2020 2 Abstract This central premise of this thesis is that philosophical fables can be used to address the challenges that have not been adequately accounted for in post-Kantian philosophy that have contributed to environmental precarity, which we only have a narrow window of opportunity to learn to appreciate and respond to. Demonstrating that fables may bring to philosophy the means to cultivate the wisdom that Immanuel Kant described as crucial for the development of judgement in the Critique of Pure Reason (1781), I argue that the philosophical fable marks an underutilised resource at our disposal, which requires both acknowledgment and defining. Philosophical fables, I argue, can act as ‘go-carts of judgement’, preventing us from entrenching damaging patterns that helped degree paved the way for us to find ourselves in a state of wholescale environmental crisis, through failing adequately to consider the multifarious effects of anthropogenic change. This work uses the theme of ‘catastrophe’, applied to ecological thinking and environmental crises, to examine and compare two thinker poets, Giacomo Leopardi and Donna Haraway, both of whom use fables to undertake philosophical critique. It will address a gap in scholarship, which has failed to adequately consider how fables might inform philosophy, as reflected in the lack of definition of the ‘philosophical fable’. This is compounded by the difficulty theorists have found in agreeing on a definition of the fable in the more general sense.

  • The Self Obscure. the Influence of Dante on Beckett
    THE SELF OBSCURE. THE INFLUENCE OF DANTE ON BECKETT RICHARD ANTHONY CAVELL B.A., University of British Columbia, 1971 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1974 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Depa rtment The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada i ABSTRACT Beckett has continually alluded to Dante throughout his career. This thesis traces the extent of the influence of Dante on Beckett, and interprets Beckett in the light of that influence. Dante figures in Beckett^ two major critical works, "Dante... Bruno. Vico.. Joyce" and Proust. In the essay on Joyce Beckett gives his own definitions of the three post-mortal states. In the essay on Proust, Beckett defines the artistic process as a descent toward the essence. The early fiction and poetry is distinct from the later works in that the allusions to Dante are more frequent and more obvious. The anti-hero of More Pricks than Kicks is Belacqua Shuah.

  • 2013 University of Toronto Toronto, Ontario, Canada
    Annual Meeting of the American Comparative Literature Association acla Global Positioning Systems April 4–7, 2013 University of Toronto Toronto, Ontario, Canada 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgments 4 Welcome and General Introduction 5 Daily Conference Schedule at a Glance 10 Complete Conference Schedule 12 Seminar Overview 17 Seminars in Detail 25 CFP: ACLA 2014 218 Index 219 Maps 241 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The organization of the ACLA 2013 conference has been the work of the students and faculty of the Centre for Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto. They designed the theme and the program, vetted seminars and papers, organized the schedule and the program, and carried out the seemingly endless tasks involved in a conference of this size. We would like to thank Paul Gooch, president of Victoria University, and Domenico Pietropaolo, principal of St. Michael’s College, for their generous donation of rooms. Their enthusiasm for the conference made it possible. The bulk of the program organizing at the Toronto end (everything to do with the assignment of rooms and the accommodation of seminars—a massive task) was done by Myra Bloom, Ronald Ng, and Sarah O’Brien. The heroic job they performed required them to set aside their own research for a period. Alex Beecroft and Andy Anderson did the organizing at the ACLA end and always reassured us that this was possible. We would like to acknowledge the generosity of the Departments of Classics, English, Philosophy, Religion, the Centre for Medieval Studies, the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies, and the Jackman Humanities Institute, all of which donated rooms; and the generous financial support accorded by the Faculty of Arts and Science, East Asian Studies, English, Philosophy, Medieval Studies, Classics, French, German, Diaspora and Transnational Studies (and Ato Quayson in particular), the Emilio Goggio Chair in Italian Studies, Spanish and Portuguese, and Slavic Studies.

Buried by rubble up to his neck, the seventeen-year-old boy observed the clear sky above him. A few meters from the point where he was trapped, his mother, father, and a younger sister were dying under the ruins of their holiday house in Casamicciola, a small village on the island of Ischia. Decades later, recollecting those dreadful moments with perceptible emotion, he wrote: I remained for many hours buried under the rubble, broken in many parts of my body. I regained my senses late that night, and I found myself interred up to my neck, and above my head stars were shining […].

  • 364 Italian Bookshelf
    ITALIAN BOOKSHELF Edited by Dino S. Cervigni and Anne Tordi with the collaboration of Norma Bouchard, Paolo Cherchi, Gustavo Costa, Albert N. Mancini, Massimo Maggiari, and John P. Welle. Mario Marti. Da Dante a Croce. Proposte consensi dissensi. Pubblicazioni del Dipartimento di Filologia, Linguistica e Letteratura dell’Università di Lecce, 25. Galatina: Congedo, 2005. Pp. 187. I cavalli di razza — mi piace a volte ricordare a giovani colleghi — si riconoscono non solo dallo sprint iniziale, cioè dall’entusiasmo di ogni giovane studioso all’inizio della carriera, ma ancor più dalla capacità di restare in lizza sino alla conclusione della carriera, che va ben oltre l’attività didattica. Cavallo di razza eccezionale — e spero che la metafora non dispiaccia — è dunque Mario Marti, classe 1914 (come ricorda egli stesso orgogliosamente in questo volume), il quale pubblicò il suo primissimo scritto nel lontano 1943, come si legge nel suo penultimo volume, Ultimi contributi: dal certo al vero (Galatina: Congedo, 1995), corredato della bibliografia dell’Autore (pagg. 255-316). Bibliografia, questa di Marti, che già nel 1995, quando egli aveva compiuto gli ottanta anni di età, aveva raggiunto il numero di 969 scritti, che egli ha continuato ad aumentare nei due lustri susseguenti tramite un’attività di investigatore profondo, perspicace e diligente e che arriva dunque, come leggiamo nella bibliografia del presente volume (pagg. 175-81), a 1064 voci: un elenco, questo, già superato dato che il volume è stato consegnato alla stampa il 25 marzo 2005 e dato che il professor Mario Marti è tuttora impegnato su vari fronti della storia letteraria d’Italia.

Italy, France, 1943-1977 by Achille Castaldo Department of Romance Studies Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Roberto Dainotto, Advisor ___________________________ Anne-Gaëlle Saliot ___________________________ David Bell ___________________________ Michael Hardt An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University 2019 Copyright by Achille Castaldo 2019 Abstract This dissertation investigates the relation between narrative forms, in both literature and cinema, and historical moments of deep crisis of the social order: the interregnum between Fascism and First Republic in Italy; the decolonization process in Algeria seen from metropolitan France; and the worker and student struggles of the Sixties and the Seventies. The goal of my analysis is to show how a traumatic reality can fracture the ideological discourse dominant in a specific historical moment, leaving a mark on the structural and formal (rhetorical) construction of the work of art. My analysis begins with Naples immediately after World War II, by focusing on the works of Curzio Malaparte and Anna Maria Ortese. I then move to Paris in the aftermath of the Algerian War, to analyze the early films of Éric Rohmer, Chris Marker, Guy Debord, and Agnès Varda.
