The critical analysis includes a theoretical part, divided in quantitative and qualitative analysis, with the development of an unpublished methodology of research. The poetic analysis includes the elaboration of an art exposition, in dialogue with one of the works of Nazarene and with the book of Calvin. The reflection on the work of Nazareno Rodrigues, Carolina Vigna and Italo Calvino is relational, intersemiotic and interdependent. The conclusion produced both a theoretical reflection and the revision of the author's artistic production. / A presente dissertação é formada por uma análise crítica e poética da obra do artista contemporâneo Nazareno Rodrigues e da obra da autora, considerando principalmente a intersecção de suas múltiplas linguagens no contexto das artes visuais; pela criação de uma série de desenhos em costura, em diálogo com uma das obras do artista citado; pelo desenvolvimento de uma metodologia de pesquisa em arte; e por uma análise relacional com o livro Seis propostas para o novo milênio, de Italo Calvino. A análise crítica inclui uma parte teórica, dividida em análise quantitativa e qualitativa, com o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia inédita de pesquisa. A análise poética inclui a elaboração de obras – expostas em galeria – em diálogo com uma das obras de Nazareno e com o livro de Calvino. A reflexão sobre a obra de Nazareno Rodrigues, Carolina Vigna e Italo Calvino é relacional, intersemiótica e interdependente. A conclusão produziu tanto uma reflexão teórica quanto a revisão da produção artística da autora.

Translating Calvino’s Dialectical Style

Scriboni, Ken W, Jr 13 May 2022 (has links)
The scholarly consensus is that the early essays “Il mare dell’oggettività” and “La sfida al labirinto” are two of the most important Italo Calvino wrote on his literary poetics, influencing the metaphors and problematics of his entire corpus: the sea of objectivity, the labyrinth, chaotic flux, a rational cogito subjectivity, binary oppositions etc. The essays were made available to a general public in the collection Una pietra sopra in 1980, part of a selection of texts handpicked by Calvino himself. Curiously, the 1986 English translation titled The Uses of Literature does not contain these important and influential essays, making them unavailable to an Anglophone audience. These essays are here now translated, accompanied by a critical commentary by the translator about their relevance and importance to Calvino’s corpus. The problematics discussed in these essays would re-emerge, with remarkable consistency, in the metaphorical imagery Calvino deployed throughout his career. Nevertheless, Calvino evolves the problematics significantly throughout his career, almost inverting his original stance. Rather than this being an inversion, however, the translator argues that Calvino’s evolution represents a dialectical movement propelled by contradiction, and that therein lies the actual poetics or the stylized mode of thought that these essays inaugurated. Viewing the essays in this light renders them, and Calvino’s entire corpus, ripe for dialogic encounter and collision with otherwise parallel philosophical traditions and schools of thought.

Postmodern Multiplicities in Three Original Works

Bejo, Ermir 12 1900 (has links)
My recent compositions are situated within a postmodern theoretical framework. The heterogeneity of materials and hybridity of musical formation in these works are interpreted and contextualized within a personal reading of postmodern theories. The critical essay traces my aesthetics through a historical investigation into the definition of musical postmodernism. Through extensive citation and analysis of the writings of Julius T. Fraser, Italo Calvino, and Richard Rorty, the essay aims to provide a theoretical context for the interpretation of the musical examples. The creative documentation contains three newly-composed musical works: Piano Trio from Opus 3/c, Opus 6 for Violin, and Opus 7 for Piccolo. The works' postmodern features include creative approaches to the fragmentation of musical time into separate levels, historical allusions, and the exploration of multiplicity.

Ne-lidští vypravěči v literární fikci / Non-Human Narrators in Literary Fiction

Hocková, Eva January 2018 (has links)
This master thesis deals with the phenomenon of non-human narrator in the literary fiction. The theoretical part of the thesis provides a conceptual framework. The framework is based on the so-called unnatural narratology. Firstly, the thesis discusses non-human narrators that are conventionally accepted. Secondly, the thesis provides a case study of non-human narrators that are perceived as unnatural. The case study includes examples from both canonical works and contemporary works. The research focuses on two main levels related to the usage of the phenomenon of non-human narration as used in the narratives: the level of "meaning" and the level of "form and effect".

Processo de criação e jogos combinatórios: procedimentos comunicativos em Italo Calvino

Bigareli, Maria Sílvia 17 December 2007 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-26T18:16:44Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Maria Silvia Bigareli.pdf: 6401288 bytes, checksum: 1977235d771a65a7d97821bbd8f4cda6 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-12-17 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This thesis has as its main objective to investigate Italo Calvino´s creative mechanism analyzing its process, giving emphasis to the procedures called combinatory games, presented as rules and ludic strategies which apply to other games with the reader's interpretation, allowing through semiosis that the communicational principles move in an unlimited and multiple way. The research wanted to understand if those combinatory operations had a very big influence in the author's Poetic Project and if those rules, used on purpose, were fundamental to his concepts about multiplicity. Denominated by the author hyperromances, the hypertextual procedures of these combinatory games are related to the new creative process in the medias, because the attributes used (non-linearity, virtual possibilities, mobility, multiplicity etc) find in the digital means´ features the appropriate support model to the translation of these procedures. The main objects of the research's corpus are: the author's reflexive texts about his own creative process and the books The Castle of Crossed Destinies, Invisible Cities, If on a Winter s Night a Traveler (in which the author metaliteralily talks about the reader's issue), and the short-story The Count of Montecristo. As for Calvino´s communicative process, our focus is on the variants´ ways, in the multiple paths possibilities. We were instigated by the rules of each combinatory game, we wanted to go through the diagrammatic draw implicit in each text, observe his choices, the selection among so many possible configurations and afterwards relate the similarities and the generalizations of his project as a whole (understanding whole as integrations and not completion. The research, with an analytical character, is based on the Process Critics, supported by the Peirce's Semiotics and it analyses the communicative phenomena studying the process of the artistic creation. In addition, we also used theoretical perspectives related to the studies about complexity, about the ludic and the potential space and about the new medias. According to the nature of the research, the methodology used includes mostly the bibliographical research and the use of objects taken as references by the author while creating his games, such as tarot cards, and it contemplates comparative analysis of the combinatory associations used and their possible interpretations / Esta tese tem como principal objetivo investigar os mecanismos de criação de Italo Calvino sob uma perspectiva processual, enfaticamente os procedimentos denominados jogos combinatórios, apresentados como regras e estratégias lúdicas que se ampliam em outros jogos com a interpretação do leitor, permitindo através da semiose que os princípios comunicacionais se movimentem de forma ilimitada e multíplice. A problemática da pesquisa buscava compreender se tais operações combinatórias ocupavam predominante interesse no Projeto Poético do autor e se tais regras, intencionalmente utilizadas, foram fundamentais para sua conceituação sobre multiplicidade. Denominados pelo autor de hiper-romances, os procedimentos hipertextuais desses jogos combinatórios se relacionam com os novos processos de criação nas mídias, pois os atributos utilizados (não-linearidade, possibilidades virtuais, mobilidade, multiplicidade etc) encontram nas características dos meios digitais o modelo de suporte apropriado para a tradução desses procedimentos. Como principais objetos do corpus da pesquisa estão os textos reflexivos do autor sobre seu próprio processo de criação e as obras O Castelo dos Destinos Cruzados , Cidades Invisíveis e Se um Viajante numa Noite de Inverno (em que o escritor metaliterariamente se pauta na questão do leitor), além do conto O Conde de Monte Cristo . No âmbito do processo comunicativo de Calvino, o nosso foco localiza-se nos caminhos das variantes, nas possibilidades múltiplas de trajetórias. Instiga-nos entender as regras de cada jogo combinatório criado, percorrer o desenho diagramático implícito em cada texto, observar as escolhas, as seleções dentre tantas configurações potenciais, e relacionar posteriormente as similaridades e generalizações do seu projeto como um todo (entendendo todo como integração e não completude). A pesquisa de caráter analítico é fundamentada na Crítica de Processo sustentada pela Semiótica Peirceana e analisa os fenômenos comunicativos a partir de uma perspectiva processual da criação artística. Em complemento, foram utilizadas perspectivas teóricas atinentes ao âmbito de estudos sobre complexidade, sobre o lúdico e o espaço potencial e sobre as novas mídias. Em consonância com a natureza da pesquisa, a metodologia adotada inclui predominantemente a pesquisa bibliográfica e o uso de objetos materiais tomados como referência pelo autor na estruturação de seus jogos, tais como baralhos de tarô, e contempla análises comparativas das associações combinatórias utilizadas e as possibilidades interpretativas das mesmas

Hranice labyrintu. Poetika prostoru italského postmoderního románu / Boundaries of the labyrinth. Literary Space in the Italian Postmodern Novels

Čaplyginová, Olga January 2016 (has links)
The Phd thesis titled Boundaries of the labyrinth and subtitled Literary space in the Italian postmodern novels strives for specification and closer definition of the genre of post-modern novel through the analysis of literary space. Formally, the thesis is divided into three parts. The first part aims to provide a theoretical introduction into the problems of three areas related to the given topic, namely the definition of postmodernity and postmodernism, the genre of the novel itself and last but not least the study of space in literature. The content of the second part is the actual literary and scientific analysis of the selected novels (Città invisibili and Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore by Italo Calvino, Notturno indiano by Antonio Tabucchi, Comici spaventati guerrieri by Stefano Benni and Oceano mare and City by Alessandro Baricco) which follows three basic and most frequent spacial topoi occurring in these novels, namely the topos of the city, the house-hotel and the road. The third and final section sums up the observed aspects and characteristics and strives to use them as a basis for determining a certain and generalizing spacial and temporal principle which would facilitate at least a partial characterization of the postmodern novel as an independent genre.

Pier Vittorio Tondelli: Letteratura Minore e Scrittura dell'Impegno Sociale

Gastaldi, Sciltian 20 March 2014 (has links)
Abstract This thesis illustrates the social engagement in the literary writings of Pier Vittorio Tondelli, an Italian gay author whose works have been described by many Catholic, Materialists, and gay critics as frivolous and disengaged. The dissertation summarizes the mutation of the Italian literary concept of impegno from Neorealism to Postmodernism, through a selection of the texts of Elio Vittorini, Italo Calvino, Franco Fortini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Leonardo Sciascia, and Umberto Eco. It shows how Tondelli’s interpretation of the role of the writer falls within the definitions given by Calvino and Eco. Moreover, the thesis demonstrates that Altri libertini and Pao Pao satisfy the characteristics of littérature mineure established by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, though Tondelli’s oeuvre is socially engaged instead of being politically engaged because of his lack of a political ideology. The dissertation highlights the core of Tondelli’s social commitment in his passionate defense of the outcasts in: Altri libertini where drug addicts, homosexuals, transsexuals, and bums are the protagonists; Pao Pao where a group of gay soldiers is described in its grotesque and camp attempt to “homosexualize” their barrack; Rimini where the Riviera Adriatica is portrayed as a place where everyone passes by and no one belongs; Camere separate through the love story of a gay couple in which one partner has to survive his lover’s death, due to an illness that is demonstrated in this thesis to be AIDS, while fighting against the homophobia of their families, institutions, society, and religion. Most of Tondelli’s socially excluded characters are introduced to the reader through an internal homodiegetic point of view. Another important component of Tondelli’s impegno is his open defense of both pop-culture and counter-cultures: gay, hippies, rockers, experimental theatre, street artists and alternative radio, which are central in all his writings.
