  • Free to Choose: Female Characters in the Stories of Grazia Deledda
    DOI: 10.19195/2082-8322.11.1 Duilio Caocci ORCID: 0000-0001-5432-3137 University of Cagliari Free to choose: Female characters in the stories of Grazia Deledda The last quarter of the 19th century witnessed the phenomenon of the great par- ticipation of women in the Italian press. Due to the process of unification, Italy is now perceived as an emerging single market in which linguistic uniformity must be achieved by means of a national, and no longer local, press. The press, therefore, takes full advantage of such a political and historical conjuncture. Italian bourgeois women now represent a further expansion of the reading public, whose particular wants and likes must be charmed by interesting publications, and who must be retained as con- sumers of newspapers and periodicals. But the role of women does not stop with that of avid readers: women have also become a pool of potential collaborators able to contribute to the compilation of periodicals in particular. It is within the space marked by these virtual places — the editorial board, maga- zines and the individual columns — that decisive matches are played out for Italian culture. Here, while schools have just started the long-term task of the homogeniza- tion of the Italian language and culture, the evolutionary lines of the Italian language reach their fruition; here, within the literary field, there is an attempt to establish a balance of power between literary genres; it is here that the agonic negotiation be- tween the literary traditions of the Italian regions takes place. As far as literature is concerned, the space framed by newspaper pages affirms the presence of many and very competitive female writers.

  • Italian Nobel Prize Recipients in Literature
    THE NEW JERSEY ITALIAN HERITAGE COMMISSION Italian Nobel Prize Recipients in Literature Grade Level: Grade 10–12 Subjects: Literature / World History Categories: Modern-Day Italy / History and Society Standards: Please read the New Jersey Student Learning Standards on page 8 before conducting the lesson. They will help you give explicit instructions to your students and help you create rubrics most appropriate for your class. Objectives: The students will be able to: 1. identify the significance of being awarded a Nobel Prize. 2. list four Italians who were awarded a Nobel Prize in Literature. 3. describe the various genres represented in the literary works of these Italian writers. Abstract: For centuries Italian writers have excelled in all areas of literature. Over the last one hundred years, four Italians have received the Novel Prize for Literature. Outside of their native Italy, however, they are relatively unknown. This lesson’s goal is to familiarize students with these Nobel Prize recipients. One result of this lesson will be that the students will be able to identify Giosuè Carducci, Grazia Deledda, Luigi Pirandello, and Dario Fo as Italians who have been awarded the Noble Prize in Literature. In this lesson the students will be able to identify the significance of the Nobel Prize. They also will be introduced to and learn to identify the writing styles, or genres, of these Italian writers. The focus activity of the lesson will involve the students using the jigsaw approach to explore the objective. The lesson’s assessment will ask the students to use higher-level thinking skills to demonstrate what they have learned about these Italians.

  • Alfred Nobel and the Nobel Prizes
    Alfred Nobel and the Nobel Prizes The Nobel Prizes were the idea of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish inventor who lived from 1833 to 1896. Since 1901 prizes have been awarded every year in different areas of human achievement: Physics, Chemistry, Economic Sciences, Physiology/Medicine, Literature and, perhaps the most famous, the Nobel Peace Prize. Many famous people have received the Peace Prize. The first Nobel Peace Prize laureates were Frédéric Passy and Henri Dunant, who founded the Red Cross, and others include Albert Schweitzer, who pioneered work against leprosy, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Aung San Suu Kyi, Nelson Mandela, former US President Jimmy Carter, Iranian lawyer Shirin Ebadi, Barack Obama and last year, Malala Yousafzai. According to Alfred Nobel’s will, he stated that the Peace Prize should be given to the person (or sometimes organisation) that ‘shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses’. It is perhaps ironical that Nobel stipulated that there should be a Peace Prize, because he was a chemical engineer whose inventions included dynamite! Most of us would immediately connect dynamite with violence and war, but Nobel’s aim was to use it for getting minerals from rocks. It often happens that ideas which were originally designed for peaceful uses end up being manipulated for opposite aims. All the Nobel Prizes are awarded by the Swedish Academies, except for the Peace Prize, which is decided by the Nobel Comittee in Norway. Virtually all the most important scientific discoveries and influential economic theories have been recognised by them.

  • Sanremo: a Villa Nobel Sino Al 28 Gennaio La Mostra Dedicata a Carducci E Alla Deledda
    1 Sanremo: a Villa Nobel sino al 28 gennaio la mostra dedicata a Carducci e alla Deledda di Redazione Riviera24.it – 13 Dicembre 2006 – 23:00 Nel centenario del Nobel a Giosue Carducci e a 80 anni da quello conferito a Grazia Deledda, Villa Nobel di Sanremo, ultima amatissima residenza di Alfred Nobel, ospita da domani la mostra I Nobel a Villa Nobel. Carducci e Deledda: una terra un tempo un mondo che rimarrà aperta fino al 28 gennaio 2007. L?evento rientra nelle iniziative del Comitato Nazionale per le celebrazioni del centenario della consegna del Premio Nobel a Giosue Carducci. Al comitato è stato concesso l?Alto Patronato del Presidente della Repubblica. La mostra Carducci e Deledda: una terra un tempo un mondo rende omaggio ai due grandi protagonisti che per primi in Italia ebbero il prestigioso riconoscimento dell?Accademia di Svezia: Carducci alla sesta edizione del Premio, nel 1906, e Grazia Deledda nel 1926, l? anno dopo George Bernard Shaw, e l?anno prima di Henri Bergson. Il filo conduttore della mostra, la traccia che tiene insieme autografi, documenti rari e foto inedite, sarà rappresentato dalle loro figure forti, particolarissime, legate, seppur in maniera e in situazioni molto diverse, alle rispettive terre d?origine: la Maremma e la Barbagia. La mostra, curata da Giuseppe Fusari e organizzata da Deepart, vedrà esposti documenti, pubblicazioni, prime edizioni, fotografie, caricature, mappe, cartoline, oggetti personali e dipinti che raccontano ?le terre? di Maremma e di Barbagia. Per quanto riguarda Giosue Carducci, saranno esposti manoscritti di poesie dedicate alla Maremma, da San Martino a Idillio Maremmano a Traversando la Maremma Toscana, prime edizioni, documenti di viaggio, mappe, fotografie, cartoline con un Carducci ?uomo immagine?, lettere e caricature, carteggi e, da Casa Carducci, la copia dell?attestazione del Nobel.

It is the last chap - ter, Mourning, Transcendence and Re-enchanting the Flesh , that is perhaps most interesting and at the same time begs a more pointed critique of race, whiteness and embodiment. An explicit consideration of whiteness seems apt regarding Wittman’s discussion of the photos of the torture of detainees by U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib Prison. Throughout the book she articulates the conflation of violen - ce, sexuality, women’s bodies and land that underpin the cultural texts in her study. However, the final chapter that deals with contemporary texts would benefit from a more sustained treatment of the racialized, “killable” body (123), Ellison’s body that is present only through absence (125), and further discussion of Italy as a European colonial power as a means of embellishing her commentary on the Abu Ghraib photos. The scholarship of Sherene Razack addressing the tortures at Abu Ghraib, and Sara Ahmed’s work on embodiment and the politics of emotions, come to mind in this regard. That said, Wittman’s analysis speaks volumes regar - ding understandings and responses to war and death generating social relations, past and present. Wittman’s superb writing style, detailed descriptions and analysis keep a rea - der engaged in the depth and breadth of her study. It is a book to return to in appreciation of the nuances of her scholarship.

  • List of Nobel Laureates 1
    List of Nobel laureates 1 List of Nobel laureates The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelpriset, Norwegian: Nobelprisen) are awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.[1] They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. Another prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributors to the field of economics.[2] Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace.[3] Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award that has varied throughout the years.[2] In 1901, the recipients of the first Nobel Prizes were given 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. In 2008, the winners were awarded a prize amount of 10,000,000 SEK.[4] The awards are presented in Stockholm in an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.[5] As of 2011, 826 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded a Nobel Prize, including 69 winners of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[6] Four Nobel laureates were not permitted by their governments to accept the Nobel Prize.

Despite being one of the most translated and published foreign authors in pre-revolutionary times, Lagerlöf made very infrequent appearances on the Soviet literary scene for 40-odd years between 1917 and the end of the 1950s. The process of literary production is examined in this paper in search of an explanation for the changing pattern in the publication of Lagerlöf’s texts. To problematize the process of literary production in the newly-established Soviet state, Foucault’s conceptualization of the process of knowledge construction is utilized to describe, understand and explain the interplay between critical resources, such as linguistic and literary expertise, individual initiative and the government-controlled publishing enterprise in the Soviet state. I argue that the agency of literary workers remained relevant to the literary process, despite increasing ideological pressure on literary production, and that they paved the way towards the official re-introduction of Lagerlöf to the Russian Soviet readership during the 1950s.
