  • Finally the Academies”: Networking Communities of Knowledge in Italy and Beyond
    1 “Finally the Academies”: Networking communities of knowledge in Italy and beyond Lisa Sampson University College London [NOTE: This is a copy of the final version of the essay (27 Sept. 2019) accepted by Chicago University Press for publication in I Tatti Studies in the Italian Renaissance, issue Fall 2019. Any references should be made to the final printed/online formatted version.] For Giambattista Vico in his Principi di una scienza nuova, academies represented the culmination of human civilization.1 His view has not always been shared, but especially since the new millennium, academies have attracted growing international scholarly interest as cultural and socio-political hubs central to forming knowledge across all disciplines of the arts and sciences. Their study as a scholarly field in their own right was given new impetus around 1980 by Amedeo Quondam, Claudia Di Filippo Bareggi, Laetitia Boehm, Ezio Raimondi, and Gino Benzoni, and in the Anglosphere by Frances Yates and Eric Cochrane. This coincided with a growing socio-historical interest in associative and relational culture, setting aside Burckhardtian concerns for the individual. More recently, the field has diversified considerably to include interest in cultural mobilities and transnational networks, while the availability of digital resources offers new research possibilities. The groundwork for studying these rather loosely defined institutions which proliferated in the Italian peninsula and beyond from around the turn of the sixteenth century, 2 was first laid out with Michele Maylender’s multi-volume compendium Storia delle accademie d’Italia (published posthumously 1926-30). This documents over 2,000 academies of varying constitutions formed at various dates, but mostly between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries.

  • 8 Giugno 2007 «Così, Perfetto, Lasciati Andare, Danza Col Cuore. Sei Così Bello, Bellissimo, Dai Libertà Alle Tue Emozioni!
    8 giugno 2007 «Così, perfetto, lasciati andare, danza col cuore. Sei così bello, bellissimo, dai libertà alle tue emozioni!». Georgina Parkinson, la bravissima maîtresse dell'American Ballet Theatre, incoraggia Roberto Bolle. Sembra quasi rapita dal fascino del nostro ballerino scaligero, l'anziana insegnante dell'Abt, mentre segue lui e Alessandra Ferri nel pas de deux che i due ballerini italiani provano ogni giorno, per almeno un'ora, in una delle sale del Metropolitan di New York. Lunedì e giovedì, l'erede di Nureyev, nato a Casale Monferrato salirà sul palco del leggendario teatro newyorchese come primo ballerino e si esibirà nella Histoire de Manon. Poi, il 23, avrà New York in lacrime, quando accompagnerà la Ferri, ballerina dell'Abt da molti anni, nel suo addio alla danza. Dopo 22 anni di danza la Ferri ha scelto proprio lui per dare l'addio al Metropolitan, in un Romeo e Giulietta i cui biglietti sono da tempo introvabili. «Mi mancherà molto Alessandra», ha spiegato Roberto Bolle con un'ombra di tristezza negli occhi. «Questa è la stagione delle ballerine che danno l'addio e lei è una grande artista. Ma mi tolgo tanto di cappello di fronte ad una ballerina che ha capito che, vista la sua età, è il momento di lasciare le scene e lo fa con coraggio». La sua grande passione per la Ferri traspare dai suoi occhi dolci e dal suo modo di danzare potente, nella geometria classica e perfetta dei movimenti ma anche rispettoso e pieno di amore, quando durante le prove la sollevava nel pas de deux e la lascia scivolare delicatamente sul pavimento della sala americana.

  • Danza: Addio All'étoile Carla Fracci
    Primo piano - Danza: addio all'étoile Carla Fracci Milano - 27 mag 2021 (Prima Pagina News) Aveva 84 anni. E' deceduta a Milano, all'età di 84 anni l'étoile della danza Carla Fracci. Nata nel 1936, studìo alla scuola di ballo del Teatro alla Scala, dove esordì nel 1955, diventandone prima ballerina nel 1958, per poi ottenere il ruolo di étoile.Di umili origini, suo padre Luigi Fracci era alpino sergente maggiore in Russia e sua madre Rocca Santina era operaia alla Innocenti di Milano (bersaglio del Bomber Command britannico), ha una sorella Marisa Fracci, anch'essa ballerina di danza classica, formatasi presso la scuola di ballo del teatro alla Scala di Milano.Con l’inizio della guerra Carla e la sua famiglia sfollarono presso la campagna di Volongo dalla nonna materna Argelide. Lì Carla vive felice circondata dalla natura, in cui si sentiva a suo agio trascorrendo le giornate in campagna e in compagnia dei cugini. Con l’inizio della scuola elementare si trasferisce dalla zia a Ca’ Rigata di Gazoldo degli Ippoliti, per poi fare ritorno a Milano al termine della guerra, dove suo padre divenne impiegato dell’azienda tranviaria come bigliettaio.Spesso i suoi genitori la portavano con loro al Circolo ricreativo dell’azienda di trasporti di suo padre, e fu lì che alcuni amici dei suoi genitori notarono in lei uno spiccato senso del ritmo e li convinsero a farla provare l’audizione al Teatro alla Scala. Supera l’esame perché interessati al “suo bel faccino”, ma i primi anni furono duri perché Carla sentiva nostalgia degli spazi aperti in quell’ambiente rigido a cui fu difficile abituarsi nonostante i continui rimproveri della maestra, che la considerava ricca di doti ma svogliata.

  • Actors Centered on a Parade of fl Ying fi Sh, Cat-Taming Mice and Circus Animals
    ARAB TIMES, SUNDAY, MAY 30, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Obits Italy’s Carla Fracci dies Classic ‘Caterpillar’ author Carle dead NEW YORK, May 29, (AP): Eric Carle, the beloved children’s author and illustrator whose classic “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and other works gave mil- lions of kids some of their earliest and most cherished literary memories, has died at age 91. Carle’s family says he died last Sunday at his sum- mer studio in Northampton, Massachusetts, with fam- ily members at his side. The family’s announcement was issued by Penguin Young Leaders. Through books like “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” “Do You Want to Be My Friend?” and “From Head to Toe,” Carle introduced universal themes in simple words and bright colors. “The unknown often brings fear with it,” he once observed. “In my books I try to counteract this fear, to replace it with a positive message. I be- lieve that children are naturally creative and eager to learn. I want to show them that learn- ing is really both fascinating and fun.” “The Very Hungry Caterpil- lar,” published in 1969, was welcomed by parents and de- lighted kids with its story of the metamorphosis of a green and Carle red caterpillar with a touch of blue and brown to a proudly multi-colored butterfl y. Originally conceived as a book about a bookworm - called “A Week with Willi the Worm” - the hero, who eats through 26 different foods, was changed to a caterpillar on the advice of his editor. It has sold some 40 million copies and has been translated into 60 lan- guages, spawned stuffed animal caterpillars and has been turned into a stage play.

  • Eva Evdokimova (Western Germany), Atilio Labis
    i THE CUBAN BALLET: ITS RATIONALE, AESTHETICS AND ARTISTIC IDENTITY AS FORMULATED BY ALICIA ALONSO A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Lester Tomé January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Joellen Meglin, Advisory Chair, Dance Karen Bond, Dance Michael Klein, Music Theory Heather Levi, External Member, Anthropology ii © Copyright 2011 by Lester Tomé All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT In the 1940s, Alicia Alonso became the first Latin American dancer to achieve international prominence in the field of ballet, until then dominated by Europeans. Promoted by Alonso, ballet took firm roots in Cuba in the following decades, particularly after the Cuban Revolution (1959). This dissertation integrates the methods of historical research, postcolonial critique and discourse analysis to explore the performative and discursive strategies through which Alonso defined her artistic identity and the collective identity of the Cuban ballet. The present study also examines the historical context of the development of ballet in Cuba, Alonso’s rationale for the practice of ballet on the Island, and the relationship between the Cuban ballet and the European ballet. Alonso defended the legitimacy of Cuban dancers to practice ballet and, in specific, perform European classics such as Giselle and Swan Lake. She opposed the notion that ballet was the exclusive patrimony of Europeans. She also insisted that the cultivation of this dance form on the Island was not an act of cultural colonialism. In her view, the development of ballet in Cuba consisted, instead, of an exploration of a distinctive Cuban voice within this dance form, a reformulation of a European legacy from a postcolonial perspective.
