Téma dospívání v moderní italské literatuře / Puberty Theme in the Modern Italian Literature

Grünzweigová, Tereza January 2017 (has links)
The following thesis addresses the theme of puberty through three Italian novels: Agostino by Alberto Moravia, Ernesto by Umberto Saba, and Dietro la porta by Giorgio Bassani. The introduction outlines the history of the children's and adolescents' protagonism in literature since the beginning. One chapter is dedicated to each author, his biographic data and generic work. The analyzed novels are then formally presented whose contents reveal a prevalence of the puberty theme. The authors' life journeys and unique youthful traumas are clearly projected in each novel. We can find the reflection of complicated family relationships, first sexual experiences, and initial problems of adult life in the stories of the young protagonists. Finally, the difference between the characters and their authors is shown with a brief comparison.

Histoire des termes d'architecture empruntés par le français à l'italien au XVIe siécle : leur introduction et leur évolution

Liew, Julian January 1990 (has links)
L'influence italianisante de la Renaissance sur la culture frangaise est telle qu'elle a laissé ses traces non seulement sur le vocabulaire de l'architecture du XVIe s. mais aussi sur celui de 1'architecture moderne et voire, plus généralement, sur le lexique français. Et pourtant, malgré 1'influence incontestable de l'italien sur le vocabulaire français de 1'architecture, il ne reste au XXe s. qu'une trentaine--au maximum—de termes d'architecture empruntés à l'italien au XVIe siècle. Les spécialistes de la langue ont déjà examiné de près 1'influence du lexique italien sur le français à l'époque de la Renaissance: Ferdinand Brunot, Bartina Wind et T. E. Hope—entre autres—ont publié d'excellentes études dans ce domaine. Tout en nous appuyant sur les études de ces éminents linguistes, nous avons souhaité éviter une simple répétition; par conséquent, nous avons poursuivi une étude approfondie sur un vocabulaire particulier: le vocabulaire de 1'architecture. Nous avons d'abord dépouillé les textes de Brunot et de Hope pour établir une liste de termes d'architecture empruntés par le français àl'italien au XVIe siècle. Ensuite, nous avons vérifié dans les ouvrages lexicographiques modernes — ici, le .T.L.F. et le .Robert—pour déterminer si ces emprunts ont survécu jusqu'à nos jours. Nous pouvions être certain que ces termes font partie du lexique français du XXe siècle. Contrôlant la classification de Hope par 11exament de la section étymologique de chaque entrée du T..LF, nous avons aussi pu établir le fait que les mots dans notre liste étaient introduits en français comme termes d'architecture. En même temps, notre consultation du TLF et du Robert nous a fourni un aperçue général de 1'évolution sémantique des emprunts. Ensuite, nous avons consulté les ouvrages lexicographiques les plus importants depuis le XVIIe s. pour tracer 1'évolution sémantique de chaque mot. A partir du résultat de nos recherches, nous avons établi la répartition suivante: (i) quatre emprunts qui ont eu une expansion sémantique (viz., ARCHITECTS, ARCHITECTURE, ISOLE et FAÇADE); (ii) quatre autres emprunts qui ont évolué mais seulement à l'intérieur du vocabulaire de 1'architecture (viz., BALDAQUIN, APPARTEMENT, BALCON et ARCADE); et (iii) tous les mots qui n'ont pas changé de sens ou qui ont subi très peu d'évolution sémantique depuis leur introduction en français (Appendice A-2). Nous avons réservé une étude détaillée à chaque mot dans les deux prèmieres sections--retraçant l'origine et 1'évolution sémantiques du mot et, dans la mesure du possible, les circonstances historiques ou culturelles où le mot se trouvait. Nos études nous ont conduit à la conclusion que la langue n'accepte pas de façon égale les emprunts faits dans un certain domaine ou pendant une certaine époque. Certains des emprunts s'intègrent totalement au lexique, en acquérant d'autres acceptions et en sortant du domaine qui les aintroduits: ils acquièrent finalement un sens figuré; ce groupe est très petit. Le deuxième groupe consiste en des emprunts qui ont garde leur emploi principal de terme d'architecture mais que l'usager moyen de la langue reconnaitra et employera. A la différence du premier groupe, cependant, les mots du deuxième groupe ne possèdent pas d'acception au figuré. Le dernier groupe est composé d'emprunts qui restent strictement des termes techniques; l'usager moyen ne les employerait pas et, sans doute, n'en connaitraît même pas le sens. A en croire le résultat de notre travail, ce dernier groupe constitue la majorité des emprunts. Finalement, nous nous sommes apergu que l'histoire et la culture d'un peuple laissent souvent leurs traces sur 1'évolution sémantique d'un mot. Dans les études consacrées à ARCHITECTE et ARCHITECTURE, nous avons inclu pour chaque siècle les changements culturels, historiques ou politiques les plus importants dans l'histoire de la France et de 1'Europe et lés avons lies de façon logique aux changements sémantiques. Donc, nous avons pu suivre de près l'histoire parallèle de la langue française et du peuple français. / Arts, Faculty of / French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department of / Graduate

Spears in context : typology, life-cycles and social meanings in Bronze Age Italy

Bruno, Arianna January 2012 (has links)
This research explores the phenomenon of Bronze Age spearheads between the Middle and Final Bronze Age (18th century-9th century B.C.) in Italy. It will explore how these objects change over time and analyse patterns of distribution as well as changes in depositional context. The thesis consists of a catalogue of examples from the Italian Peninsula which are analysed in two ways: first, a typological sequence has been constructed, in order to identify differences in form, appearance and dimension, in order to analyze chronological and regional variation. Second, edge-wear analysis is conducted on a sample of objects in order to gain an appreciation of how this method can inform the archaeological interpretation of artefact biographies. The premise of such a study is rooted in a theoretical framework which argues that objects embody fundamental aspects of people’s social lives. As weapons for both hunting and warfare, spears embody rich symbolism which was drawn upon by Bronze Age communities, in many different ways. The biographical approach reveals close connections between these objects and the lives of individuals, the places they lived in as well locales which were of ritual importance to them. The edge-wear analysis also suggests that these objects were conceptualized as having lives which were ritually ended through deliberate damage, in addition to natural wear, damage and repair. These studies are situated within broader traditions of northern European archaeological evidence. The thesis concludes by arguing this biographical approach considerably enriches more traditional typological approaches to material culture. When used in combination with the study of the context of deposition, it suggests Mediterranean scholarship on prehistoric metallurgy can benefit greatly from these conjoined methodologies.

Il paesaggio nell'opera di Nico Orengo / Le paysage dans l'oeuvre de Nico Orengo / Landscape in the writings of Nico Orengo

Lorenzi, Federica 14 November 2016 (has links)
Cette thèse est la première monographie sur l’œuvre de l’écrivain et journaliste italien Nico Orengo (Turin, 1944-2009), auteur de recueils de poèmes, de récits et de romans, de comptines et récits pour enfants. Bien que la critique ait reconnu la valeur et l’intérêt de son œuvre et qu’elle ait présenté Orengo comme étant l’une des voix les plus originales de la littérature italienne contemporaine, aucun travail d’interprétation et d’approfondissement ne lui avait encore été consacré. Ce travail aspire à combler ce vide en démontrant qu’Orengo a été un précurseur eu égard tant aux sujets traités qu’aux modalités d’écriture choisies. Tous ses textes ont été étudiés à l’aune du paysage. L’intérêt de cette perspective relève de la place primordiale accordé dans son œuvre à un paysage bien défini et reconnaissable, celui de la Ligurie occidentale, à la frontière entre France et Italie, terre d’origine de sa famille. Cela nous a permis de vérifier comment l’auteur exploite la réalité du paysage, comment il l’exprime dans son écriture et quelles significations il lui attribue ; cela, dans but d’éclairer la nature de l’écriture d’un paysage. Sur le plan méthodologique nous nous appuyons sur la notion de paysage telle qu’elle a été élaborée par Michel Collot. L’approche thématique, alliée des outils d’analyse à disposition par la linguistique, la stylistique et la phénoménologie, est à la base de notre travail. / This thesis is the first monograph about the work of the Italian writer and journalist Nico Orengo (Turin, 1944-2009), the author of poetry collections, short stories and novels, nursery rhymes and children’s short stories. Even if critics have admitted the value and the interest of his work and despite portraying Orengo as one of the most original voices of contemporary Italian literature, not a single work of interpretation and analysis has yet to be written about him. This work aims to fill that void, showing that Orengo was a precursor for both the themes he approaches and the modalities of his writing style. All of his texts have been analysed through the landscape. The interest of this choice lies in the fact that Orengo, although a native of Turin, set almost all of his work in Liguria, focusing on a particularly defined and distinguishable landscape; the far west landscape, between France and Italy, the original region of his family. This allows us to show how Orengo uses this landscape reality, how he re-elaborates it in his writings and the meanings he gives to it, if he makes a coherent construction of it or, on the contrary, whether this construction changes over time and according to the genre of literature. The aim is to show what landscape writing consists of. Composed of three parts, this thesis is introduced by a preamble that defines the subject of this analysis, explaining the issues of research on the landscape in literature. On the methodological level, it is based on the perspective of landscape as proposed by Michel Collet and is inspired by his approach, appealing to thematic critics, but also to linguistics, stylistics and phenomenology.

Stranded, Isolated, Cloistered, and Confined: Women Queering Space in Twenty-First Century Italian Cinema

Palanti, Alessia January 2019 (has links)
At the crossroads of Italian studies; film studies; and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies, my dissertation investigates a group of films by Italian women filmmakers whose narratives center on women and unfold in constrained spaces. Confinement is generally considered antithetical to feminist projects that imagine emancipation to be synonymous with freedom of movement. Why would women filmmakers, then, making films in the new millennium choose to stage their narratives in cloistered spaces? I find that the spatial restrictions are not responding to familiar dialectics. First feature films Benzina (Gasoline, Monica Stambrini 2001), Aprimi il cuore (Aprimi il cuore, Giada Colagrande 2002), and Via Castellana Bandiera (A Street in Palermo, Emma Dante 2013) find ways to place us snugly inside a familiar space, a space that comes with a standardized set of expectations and associations: the apartment with the nuclear family; Rome’s GRA (grande-raccordo anulare; Rome’s ring road) with travel around the capital; the narrow street as a classically Italian impasse. But when the films have us “overstay our welcome,” these spaces no longer align with our original understanding, instead, we begin to see the kinds of exclusions that have come to define those standardized narratives. And so, the films queer space, and by queering space we might come to see that the world we inhabit is much more dynamic than our traditional narratives might have us believe. I begin by analyzing the only documentary in my project, Vogliamo anche le rose (We Want Roses Too, Alina Marazzi, 2007). This film is a launching pad from which to establish a more robust backdrop of feminist history, philosophies, and concepts that re-emerge in subsequent chapters. Vis-à-vis the historiography I provide, I argue that each of the films’ restricted spatial configurations incite tense interpersonal dynamics within female pairings that dramatize both local and global political tensions within real feminist and lesbian collectives. Allusions to these long-lasting tensions in women’s political history provide not only an image of its past but also of its present, and perhaps its future. In other words, the films are a hard mirror to look into for feminist and lesbian activists and for women whose lives are affected by their (in)decisions, inclusions, and exclusions.

Italian Domination on Ladders and Related Products

Gardner, Bradley 01 December 2018 (has links)
An Italian dominating function on a graph $G = (V,E)$ is a function such that $f : V \to \{0,1,2\}$, and for each vertex $v \in V$ for which $f(v) = 0$, we have $\sum_{u\in N(v)}f(u) \geq 2$. The weight of an Italian dominating function is $f(V) = \sum_{v\in V(G)}f(v)$. The minimum weight of all such functions on a graph $G$ is called the Italian domination number of $G$. In this thesis, we will consider Italian domination in various types of products of a graph $G$ with the complete graph $K_2$. We will find the value of the Italian domination number for ladders, specific families of prisms, mobius ladders and related products including categorical products $G\times K_2$ and lexicographic products $G\cdot K_2$. Finally, we will conclude with open problems.

MEATBALL MEMORIES IN THE MODERN KITCHEN: ITALIAN AMERICANS NAVIGATING CULTURAL IDEALS WITHIN THE SOUTH FLORIDA FOOD LANDSCAPE

Unknown Date (has links)
Many Italians characterize their food culture as respectful of tradition, favoring fresh, regional ingredients, prioritizing commensality and the group identity, and treating food as an aesthetic good. Many describe American food culture as one of speed and convenience, favoring quantity over quality, nurturing independence, and regarding food merely as a material good. Through in-depth interviews with a group of Italian Americans, this research explores the intersection between Italian and American food cultures, questioning how Italian Americans living in South Florida construct identity given the influence of the modern food system. Participants demonstrate that while a dichotomy exists between Italian cultural ideals and the reality of everyday life in the South Florida food system, many Italian Americans find ways to incorporate traditional culture into their modern lives. The results of this research offer perspective on the spaces where ethnic groups access the cultural value of food in an increasingly modern world. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2020. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Les images "italiennes" de François Ier entre 1515 et 1530 : l'attente, la crainte, la célébratiοn et la déceptiοn chez les hοmmes de culture de la péninsul / Italian depictions of Francis I of France between 1515 and 1530 : expectations, fear, praise and disillusion among the Italian learned men

Allaire, Valeria 30 November 2018 (has links)
Dans l’imaginaire collectif, François Ier est à la fois le Roi chevalier, le Roi mécène, le Père des Lettres ; il est aussi le Roi bâtisseur, le Roi veneur et séducteur, le Roi captif ou encore le Traître à la Chrétienté. Notre étude propose d’enrichir ce portrait kaléidoscopique en présentant une perspective toute italienne. Dès le début de son règne, ce monarque si complexe semble hanté par la domination de l’espace politique péninsulaire. À travers la lecture de la correspondance d’ambassadeurs et de nonces, ainsi que d’ouvrages historiques et littéraires de l’époque, nous nous intéressons ici à la construction de son image à l’intérieur de la péninsule, entre 1515 et 1530. Nous avons choisi d’observer des moments considérés comme significatifs pour l’espace italien dans son rapport avec le monarque : la victoire à Marignan et la rencontre bolonaise avec Léon X en 1515, l’échec à l’élection impériale en 1519, les défaites de la Bicoque, en 1522, et de Pavie, en 1525, la campagne napolitaine de 1528. Nous souhaitons montrer comment l’élaboration de l’image du monarque ne dépend pas exclusivement des succès ou des échecs politiques et militaires, mais varie au gré des espoirs et des craintes des acteurs politiques de l’époque, offrant, parfois, une représentation inattendue. En 1529, le roi signe la Paix des Dames avec Charles Quint et abandonne ses alliés italiens à la merci de son éternel ennemi. À ce moment, une cassure s’opère ; le roi ne renonce pas définitivement à ses ambitions italiennes, mais le portrait que l’on brosse alors de lui se transforme pour s’adapter à une nouvelle configuration politique. / This analysis deals with the representation of King Francis I wihthin the Italian peninsula spanning the period from 1515 to 1530. In the collective imagination, King Francis I is known as the Knight-King, the « Father and Restorer of Letters » and a Renaissance patron of the arts. He is equally remembered for his contribution to architecture, his hunting activities and amorous conquests, but also for his captivity and his alliance with the Turks. This study aims to broaden the range of King Francis I's multifaceted depictions by adopting a new Italian prespective in order to cast a new light on his representation. From the very beginning of his reign, this highly manifold monarch appears to have been haunted by the idea of dominating the peninsular political arena. The study is based on a corpus of letters written by ambassadors and papal nuncios as well as on historical and literary works. Emhphasis has been laid on several milestones in the history of Italy's relationships with its sovereign : the victory at the battle of Marignano and the King's meeting in Bolonia with Pope Leo X in 1515, the failure of the imperial election in 1519, the defeat at the Battle of the Bicocca, in 1522, and at the Battle of Pavia in 1525, as well as the Neapolitan campaigns of 1528. This thesis demonstrates that the king's image does not solely rely on his successes and defeats, but it largely depends on the changeing shifts in Italian political hopes and fears of the day. Our findings show that some of the depictions of King Francis I belie all expectations. In 1529, the king signs a treaty in Cambrai with Charles V and abandons his Italian allies to his long-lasting enemy. From that point onwards, a shift in politics occurs: the king does not wholly give up his Italian ambitions, but his representation changes, adapting to new political stakes.
