Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should like to thank Professor Aquilecchia who awakened my interest in Campana and gave generously his time and advice throughout my research 1 also wish to thank my parents for their encouragement and support. ABSTRACT Campana's Life and Work form the two main sections of my thesis. In the first part, I reconstruct the chronology of Campana’s life against the back­ ground of his times. There were, hitherto, considerable periods in the poet’s life which were either unknown, or reconstructed through hearsay in the absence of original documentation. In the course of my research both in Italy (Marradi, Florence, Bologna, Rome), and Switzerland (Lugano), I was able to discover many unpublished documents, some of which fill in gaps, others which challenge the previously accepted chronology. Some of these documents I have published in two articles (The Modern Language Review, October 1 9 8 3 , and Italian Studies, 1 9 8 5 ) which I am attaching to this thesis; others I have transcribed in an Appendix. In the study of Campana’s work, I examine successive publications of his poems and compare them with some original manuscripts, now in the hands of relatives or in archives and libraries in Italy. I discuss the phenomenon of Variants and other aspects of Campana’s method of work which contributed to the many disparities found in successive publications. A comparative table of II Piu Lungo Giorno and the Canti Orfici is a major part of this thesis. II Piu Lungo Giorno, lost in 1 9 1 3 and not found until 1 9 7 1 has hitherto been surprisingly neglected, although it enables us to trace Campana’s poetic development over a crucial phase of his career. I have limited my study of the Canti Orfici to two poems which help to distinguish the various phases of Campana’s development and show the emergence of ideas which appear characteristic of his mature art. In conclusion I look at changing attitudes to Campana, from 1 9 1 4 to the present day.

  • The Symbolism of Power in William Golding's Lord of the Flies
    Estetisk-filosofiska fakulteten Engelska Björn Bruns The Symbolism of Power in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies Engelska C-uppsats Datum: Hösttermin 2008/2009 Handledare: Åke Bergvall Examinator: Mark Troy Karlstads universitet 651 88 Karlstad Tfn 054-700 10 00 Fax 054-700 14 60 [email protected] www.kau.se The Symbolism of Power in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies An important theme in William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies is social power relations. These power relations are everywhere on the island, and are shown at different levels throughout the novel. These power relations are illustrated by symbols in the novel, which center on two different power systems, a democratic system, with Ralph as the head, and a dictatorial system with Jack as the leader. Sometimes these symbols are tied so closely together to both power systems that they mean different things for each of them. The aim of this essay is to investigate the different kinds of symbols that are used in the novel, and to show how they are tied to its social power relations. Those symbols that I have found are always important items that either Ralph or Jack use intentionally or unintentionally. The use of symbols is crucial to this novel, thus Golding shows us that an item is more powerful than it first seems. An important theme in William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies is social power relations. These power relations are everywhere on the island, and are shown at different levels throughout the novel. The novel, according to Kristin Olsen, concentrates on describing “the desire for power, […] the fear of other people, anger and jealousy” (2).

  • Giubbe Rosse Di Firenze
    [email protected] GIUBBE ROSSE E' QUELLA COSA ..... La distruzione della Piazza del Mercato Vecchio che lasciò il posto alla mai amata Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, oggi Piazza della Repubblica, dove si affacciano Le Giubbe Rosse. Alla fine dell'Ottocento, l'amministrazione comunale di Firenze, decise di radere al suolo l'antico quartiere del Mercato Vecchio, per far posto ad una nuova piazza, dedicata a Vittorio Emanuele II. "Non fu giammai così nobil giardino / come a quel tempo egli è Mercato Vecchio / che l'occhio e il gusto pasce al fiorentino", cantava nel trecento il poeta Antonio Pucci, "Mercato Vecchio nel mondo é alimento. / A ogni altra piazza il pregio serra". Certo é che, dopo i fasti del medioevo, il luogo era inesorabilmente decaduto: Nel 1881 il giornalista Jarro pubblicò un libro-denuncia, "Firenze sotterranea" in cui si descriveva il centro della città come un ricettacolo di delinquenza e prostituzione. Molti e pisodi che vi erano riferiti risultavano indubbiamente esagerati o distorti ad arte, ma lo scalpore suscitato dal libro convinse i benpensanti della necessità di far "piazza pulita"di tutte quelle lordure. "Telemaco, piangi sulle porcherie che vanno giù? ", domandò scherzando un ingegnere comunale a Telemaco Signorini, che continuava imperterrito a dipingere gli antichi vicoli in corso di demolizione. "No piango sulle porcherie che vengono su", rispose il pittore. Artisti, poeti, uomini di cultura, non hanno mai perdonato al governo municipale di aver cancellato memorie storiche ed artistiche di importanza incomparabile, torri, chiese, palazzi, vicoli e piazzette che un accurato restauro avrebbe potuto facilmente valorizzare e che oggi sono note soltanto grazie ai dipinti dei macchiaioli e alle vecchie foto di Brogi e Alinari.

  • Without a Map Meredith Hall
    Creative Nonfiction No. 28 Without a Map Meredith Hall “Don’t be mad. ” I telegram James, care of the American Express office in Amsterdam. “Am heading off alone. See you in India.” The telegram takes a startling four dollars and fifty cents out of the seventy dollars I have left after paying for my hotel. James has the other six hundred dollars. I feel some concern about this, but I stuff the sixty-five dollars and fifty cents into my jeans pocket and stride out of the telegraph office into the streets of Luxembourg. It is a cold, drizzly, metallic day. I am scared, but I like the feeling. The city is just waking up; delivery trucks park on the sidewalks, and men in shiny jackets lower boxes and crates down steep stone steps to men waiting in basements below. Bare bulbs hang in the gloom; voices come in bursts of yelling and laughter. I can’t understand anything they are saying. I shoulder my new red backpack—fifty-six pounds, including the lumpy cotton sleepy bag I bought at the Army/Navy store—and shift it on my small shoulders until it feels comfortable. The men on the street stop their work and turn to watch me walk by. One of them smiles and tips his cap. There is a murmur among them and then laughter. I am twenty years old, and scared. I feel shaky and powerful, recognizing a reckless potency as it takes over decision-making. Nothing can hurt me. I smile back at the workers, lean forward against the weight of the pack, and choose a direction.

  • (No) Queer Futurism: Prostitutes, Pink Poets, and Politics in Italy from 1913-1918
    (No) Queer Futurism: Prostitutes, Pink Poets, and Politics in Italy from 1913-1918 Emma Van Ness University of California, Los Angeles A Queer Futurism? This study intended to examine Futurist representations of historical prostitution within their urban environments of Paris, Milan, and Florence. It quickly became evident, however, that Futurists were by and large unconcerned with the material concerns of the prostitutes themselves, but very interested in what prostitutes could signify in an artistic and social context, building on the contributions of artists such as Baudelaire and Manet. These Parisians were among those who thrust the prostitute into the central discourse of literature and art in the nineteenth-century and in doing so signaled an important shift towards modernity. Half a century later, in Florence, while Dino Campana sings to the chimerical musica fanciulla esangue in his Canti orfici, Italo Tavolato, a homosexual journalist and critic from Trieste, speaks explicitly of prostitutes as inspirational figures, truly moral in their honest immorality. It was only through his rhetorical exaltation of prostitution that Tavolato could express his desire for an alternative to hetero-normative sexualities. His larger program against sexual morality is an important contribution in the early “deconstructive” phase of Futurism, one which mirrors what Claudia Salaris calls a “theory of androgyny,”1 associated at the time with writers such as Otto Weininger, Valentine de Saint-Point, and Marinetti himself, who was initially referred to by many as the “pink poet” because of “his ‘American’ methods, scandalizing and self- promoting.”2 Like Marinetti’s own fictional Futurist father, Marfarka, who gives birth to Garzurmah, the man-machine hybrid, Marinetti’s birthing of the movement was aided by his assumption of a hybrid personality.

    ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." "That's what you said about the brother." "The brother tested out impossible. For other reasons. Nothing to do with his ability." "Same with the sister. And there are doubts about him. He's too malleable. Too willing to submerge himself in someone else's will." "Not if the other person is his enemy." "So what do we do? Surround him with enemies all the time?" "If we have to." "I thought you said you liked this kid." "If the buggers get him, they'll make me look like his favorite uncle." "All right. We're saving the world, after all. Take him." *** The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and said, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Well, I have good news for you. That monitor is going to come out today. We're going to just take it right out, and it won't hurt a bit." Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth. "So if you'll just come over here, Andrew, just sit right up here on the examining table.

    INDEX Press release Fact Sheet Photo Sheet Exhibition Walkthrough A CLOSER LOOK Goncharova and Italy: Controversy, Inspiration, Friendship by Ludovica Sebregondi ‘A spritual autobiography’: Goncharova’s exhibition of 1913 by Evgenia Iliukhina Activities in the exhibition and beyond List of the works Natalia Goncharova A woman of the avant-garde with Gauguin, Matisse and Picasso Florence, Palazzo Strozzi, 28.09.2019–12.01.2020 #NataliaGoncharova This autumn Palazzo Strozzi will present a major retrospective of the leading woman artist of the twentieth- century avant-garde, Natalia Goncharova. Natalia Goncharova will offer visitors a unique opportunity to encounter Natalia Goncharova’s multi-faceted artistic output. A pioneering and radical figure, Goncharova’s work will be presented alongside masterpieces by the celebrated artists who served her either as inspiration or as direct interlocutors, such as Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Giacomo Balla and Umberto Boccioni. Natalia Goncharova who was born in the province of Tula in 1881, died in Paris in 1962 was the first women artist of the Russian avant-garde to reach fame internationally. She exhibited in the most important European avant-garde exhibitions of the era, including the Blaue Reiter Munich, the Deutsche Erste Herbstsalon at the Galerie Der Sturm in Berlin and at the post-impressionist exhibition in London. At the forefront of the avant- garde, Goncharova scandalised audiences at home in Moscow when she paraded, in the most elegant area of the city with her face and body painted. Defying public morality, she was also the first woman to exhibit paintings depicting female nudes in Russia, for which she was accused and tried in Russian courts.
