  • Magical Realism As Literary Activism in the Post-Cold War US Ethnic Novel
    Momentary Magic: Magical Realism as Literary Activism in the Post-Cold War US Ethnic Novel Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University BY Anne Mai Yee Jansen M.A., M.Ed., B.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Chadwick Allen, Advisor Pranav Jani Martin Joseph Ponce Copyright by Anne Mai Yee Jansen 2013 Abstract In the aftermath of the Cold War, the social climate was largely hostile toward minority activist rhetoric. In this era, some US writers of color turned to magical realism – a genre typically associated with Latin American authors of the 1960s – to criticize social injustice through the use of magic. Magical realism interrogates historical and social conditions through supernatural, mythical, or other non-realist characters and events. In many otherwise realist novels by US writers of color, moments of magic disrupt concepts of “reality” and complicate social and political inequalities. My comparative study investigates the intersections of magic, politics, and activism in magical realist novels by African American, Asian American, Chicano/Latino, and Native American authors by organizing the chapters around four recurrent themes: history, haunting, folklore, and shifting borders. This project explores how alternative visions of empowerment and engagement open up space within which writers of color can work against oppressive forces of racism and imperialism. I begin by tracing the genealogy of the term “magical realism,” acknowledging the problems inherent in this term before turning to the genre’s foundation in postcolonial nations and its historical use as a vehicle for anti-imperialist critiques.

  • Bellinzona Beatles Days: Un'edizione Che Dà I Numeri
    Bellinzona Beatles Days: un’edizione che dà i numeri Dal 20 al 22 luglio a Bellinzona la XVII rassegna musicale promossa dalla Fondazione del Patriziato e dedicata alla “Golden Age” del pop-rock. E che quest’anno ruota attorno a tre ciFre: 30, 40 e 50 “30, 40, 50”. Sono i tre numeri attorno ai quali ruota l’edizione 2017 dei Bellinzona Beatles Days, l’importante e tradizionale rassegna musicale estiva promossa dalla Fondazione del Patriziato della Turrita in programma da giovedì 20 a sabato 21 luglio nella tradizionale cornice di Piazza del Sole. “30, 40, 50” che stanno a rimarcare altrettanti anniversari legati al genere di cui il festival, sin dai suoi albori, si è fatto alfiere nella Svizzera italiana e non solo: le sonorità dei “favolosi anni Sessanta” di cui i Beatles rappresentano la massima e più conosciuta espressione e quel “classic rock” che, partendo proprio dalla lezione del quartetto di Liverpool, ha rivoluzionato l’universo sonoro nonché la cultura ed il costume dei decenni successivi. 30 anni nel segno di Hendrix Il primo di questi anniversari è legato a quella che la stampa internazionale definisce “probably the best Hendrix coverband in the world”: il trio elvetico dei More Experience che nell’estate del 2017 festeggia sei lustri di attività. Trent’anni durante i quali l’ensemble guidato dal cantante e chitarrista bellinzonese Marcel Aeby e completato da Henry Imboden al basso e Marco Brander alla batteria, ha effettuato oltre 800 concerti in tutta Europa - tra cui tour con Noel Redding (il bassista della Jimi Hendrix Experience), Buddy Miles (il batterista della Band of Gypsys), Alvin Lee (l’indimenticato leader dei Ten Years After) e Steve Lukather (il chitarrista e leader dei Toto) - preso parte ad innumerevoli show radiotelevisivi e registrato vari album sempre all’insegna della musica di Hendrix, riproposta in maniera fedele, pur senza rinunciare a spiccati elementi di originalità.
