Qt4wp0h5bx Nosplash 916A11c Wings for Our Courage flashpoints The series solicits books that consider literature beyond strictly national and disciplin- ary frameworks, distinguished both by their historical grounding and their theoretical and conceptual strength. We seek studies that engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with mo- ments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how literature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present.

Finally, at project’s end, I have the opportunity to thank and appreciate my teacher Paolo Valesio. From the first, he encouraged me to take in- tellectual risks. When he wisely advised me many years ago not to mix my research on Lorenzino with my newer projects, I didn’t follow his advice. Now, however, I am satisfied that this book is a better tribute to all that I learned from Valesio . a stylistic expansiveness, a sense of critique, an interest in theorizing practice and practicing theory, and an ability to connect with my sources through writing. Thank you, Paolo, for giving me the tools I would need on this journey. I have been blessed with many more teachers, colleagues, friends, and family members who have generously supported and encouraged my work along the way and to whom I am deeply grateful: Leonard and Florence Jed, Erica Jed, John Freccero, Hayden White, Marga- ret Brose, Mary-Kay Gamel, Harry Berger, the Galassi Beria family, the Majnoni family, Luciana Siddivò and family, Maurizio Sabini, the Calitri/Bagatella family, Teresa de Lauretis, William Tay, Mar- git Frenk, Jaime Concha, Page duBois, Roy Harvey Pearce, Cecilia Ubilla, Armando Petrucci, Franca Nardelli, Grazia Peduzzi, Alberto Rollo, Vittoria Salierno, Carlos Blanco Aguinaga, Marta Sanchez, Rosaura Sanchez, Andrew Wright, Susan Kirkpatrick, Lori Cham- berlain, Julie Hemker, Lisa Lowe, Bett Miller, Jennifer Robertson, xiii xiv | Acknowledgments Maria Teresa Koreck, Michael Meranze, Robert Westman, Randolph Starn, Carlo Ginzburg, Paula Findlen, Luce Giard, Susan Larsen, Nicole Tonkovich, Kathryn Shevelow, Pasquale Verdicchio, Adri- ana De Marchi Gherini, Michael Davidson, Winnie Woodhull, Jorge Mariscal, Roddey Reid, Todd Kontje, Don Wayne, Louis Montrose, Oumelbanine Zhiri, Seth Lerer, John Marino, Janet Smarr, Lisa Lampert-Weissig, Marguerite Waller, Richard Terdiman, Albert As- coli, Barbara Spackman, Carla Freccero, Natalie Zemon Davis, Jane Newman, Jane Tylus, Dianella Gagliani, Luciano Casali, Lorna Hut- son, Deanna Shemek, Michael Wyatt, Gianni Celati, Watson Branch, Heather Fowler, Michelle Stuckey, Lisa Vernoy, and Mary Eyring.

  • Acting the Nation
    Acting the Nation Women on the Stage and in the Audience of Theatre in the Late Ottoman Empire and Early Turkish Republic Cora Skylstad TYR 4590 – Master’s thesis in Turkish Studies Area Studies of Asia, the Middle East and Africa Department of Cultural Studies and Oriental Languages UNIVERSITY OF OSLO October 2010 ii iii Abstract In the first decades of the 20th century, the public position of actresses underwent a radical transformation in Turkey. While the acting profession had long been commonly regarded as unsuitable for Muslim women and had been monopolized by women belonging to the non- Muslim minorities, in the 1920s the Muslim actress was not only legitimized but in fact embraced by the state as a model for Turkish women. In the works of Turkish and Ottoman theatre history, the emergence of Muslim actresses has been given some attention, but it has not been studied from a critical perspective inspired by theoretical questions. Moreover, the process of legitimization of Muslim women as theatre audience, which took place prior to the legitimization of the actresses, has been ignored. The present thesis seeks to develop a better understanding of these developments by approaching them as part of social and political history, while drawing inspiration from an interdisciplinary field of scholarship on gender and theatre. The time period studied begins with the late era of the Ottoman Empire and ends with the early years of the Turkish Republic, covering a time span of more than fifty years. In order to capture the complexities of the subject, a wide array of written sources, including memoirs, interviews, theatre reviews, books and a theatre play, are included in the analysis.

  • Storia Di Firenze Annali I 2006.Indd
    !NNALIDISTORIADIFIRENZE ) Avvertenza Le pagine a seguire forniscono, per gli anni 2001 e 2002, un elenco ordi- nato alfabeticamente per autore dei volumi, dei saggi in opere collettanee e degli articoli su riviste attinenti la storia fi orentina. Tale materiale, ugualmente suddiviso in tre sezioni, è disponibile anche nel portale «Storia di Firenze» nella sezione «Bibliografi a» dove è possibile trovare anche il link alla scheda del vo- lume disponibile nel catalogo delle case editrice (htpp://www.dssg.unifi .it/sdf/ bibliografi a.html). Nel prossimo numero degli «Annali» comparirà la bibliogra- fi a relativa al biennio 2003-2004. L’eccezionale vastità della produzione scientifi ca su Firenze e l’assenza di uno strumento unico di aggiornamento bibliografi co al riguardo, oltre ad essere il motivo essenziale di questo lavoro ne rappresenta anche il principale elemento di diffi coltà. Per gli intenti del portale, il profi lo scientifi co e gli interessi dei membri della redazione, la cultura fi losofi ca e letteraria e la storia delle arti fi - gurative risultano relativamente in secondo piano rispetto ai temi storiografi ci. La ricerca di cui queste pagine sono il frutto ha infatti integrato risorse diverse (bibliografi e on-line, siti di case editrici, segnalazioni su riviste e spogli di data- base bibliografi ci), nell’intento, non sempre di facile realizzazione, di isolare materiali propriamente riferiti alla storia di Firenze e omettendo una consimile ricerca in fonti a carattere storico-artistico o storico-letterario. Ci auguriamo che questa consapevole limitazione, anziché indebolire l’effi cacia del nostro lavoro, ne precisi la consistenza e quindi la fruibilità per i lettori.

    THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK VIRTUAL SALUTE TO GRADUATES JUNE 30, 2020 THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK VIRTUAL SALUTE 2020 | 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear CCNY Graduates of the Class of 2020, There are moments in our history that impress an indelible mark upon us, when we are called to do extraordinary things under the press of an indescribable moment. Anyone graduating in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic will be marked by this extraordinary moment. But even among that national class graduating in 2020, you are different. At a time when the inequitable imprint of this scourge underscores the other inequities in our society, the City College—and those who work study and graduate from it—stand apart. You graduate from an institution established to redress inequality, an institution that each generation has the responsibility of scanning the social and Vince Boudreau political landscape, and setting its sights on rectifying that which sits most uneasily in President the light of that responsibility. It has been over fifty years since we have faced the kinds of challenges we face today to our democracy, to the fabric of our society, and to the health and security of our people. As an institution, we were made for this moment. As graduates of CCNY, you now shoulder the responsibility of giving voice to your vision of that just society, a vision we have worked to develop and instill in you all the days of your work with us. You have struggled, sometimes mightily and against long odds, to reach this day, and we beam with pride at your accomplishment.

  • A British Reflection: the Relationship Between Dante's Comedy and The
    A British Reflection: the Relationship between Dante’s Comedy and the Italian Fascist Movement and Regime during the 1920s and 1930s with references to the Risorgimento. Keon Esky A thesis submitted in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. University of Sydney 2016 KEON ESKY Fig. 1 Raffaello Sanzio, ‘La Disputa’ (detail) 1510-11, Fresco - Stanza della Segnatura, Palazzi Pontifici, Vatican. KEON ESKY ii I dedicate this thesis to my late father who would have wanted me to embark on such a journey, and to my partner who with patience and love has never stopped believing that I could do it. KEON ESKY iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes a debt of gratitude to many people in many different countries, and indeed continents. They have all contributed in various measures to the completion of this endeavour. However, this study is deeply indebted first and foremost to my supervisor Dr. Francesco Borghesi. Without his assistance throughout these many years, this thesis would not have been possible. For his support, patience, motivation, and vast knowledge I shall be forever thankful. He truly was my Virgil. Besides my supervisor, I would like to thank the whole Department of Italian Studies at the University of Sydney, who have patiently worked with me and assisted me when I needed it. My sincere thanks go to Dr. Rubino and the rest of the committees that in the years have formed the panel for the Annual Reviews for their insightful comments and encouragement, but equally for their firm questioning, which helped me widening the scope of my research and accept other perspectives.

  • A Cura Di Ernestina Pellegrini
    Note di lettura 87 LETTERATURE COMPARATE a cura di Ernestina Pellegrini GRAZIA GOBBI SICA, In Lovig Memory. Il cimitero agli Allori di Firenze, coordina- mento di Maurizio Bossi, con un saggio e schede sulla comunità russa di Lucia Tonini, Firenze, Olschki 2016 («Gabinetto Scientifico Letterario – Studi», 26), pp. 546, € 120,00. A poco a poco egli aveva preso l’abitudine di soffermarsi sui suoi morti ad uno ad uno. E piuttosto presto nella vita aveva cominciato a pensare che andasse fatto qualcosa per loro. E loro erano lì, accanto a lui, forti di quell’essenza semplificata, più intensa, di quell’assenza consapevole, di quella pazienza eloquente, così corporei e presenti che pareva avessero sol- tanto perduto l’uso della parola. Così recita un passo di L’altare dei morti di Henry James, uscito in un volume dal titolo Terminations – che ci piace mettere qui in apertura di que- sta breve illustrazione del monumentale volume che Grazia Gobbi Sica ha dedicato al Cimitero agli Allori di Firenze, a conclusione di una lunga ricerca, ora accolta nella collana «Studi» del Gabinetto Vieusseux, inaugurata nel lontano 1985 presso Olschki. Un libro che può essere letto in tanti modi, seguendo piste diverse, come si capisce subito dal breve intervento di Mauri- zio Bossi – indimenticabile guida del Centro Romantico – che ha coordinato la ricerca (e al quale il volume ora è dedicato): Concepito dall’Autrice per presentare e valorizzare il cimitero agli Allori come rilevante parte del patrimonio artistico fiorentino e a contempo come prezioso documento sulla variegata e ramificata presenza di stranieri a Firenze, il volume ha raggiunto questo duplice obiettivo con successo, e si offre oggi come stimolo e fonte per molteplici ricerche.
