Percorsi poliedrici verso vari ‘metodi Calvino’. Intervista a quattro ricercatrici che hanno studiato le opere di Calvino all’estero
Incontri. Rivista europea di studi italiani viene pubblicata e finanziata dal Werkgroep Italië Studies (WIS), gruppo di lavoro fiammingo-neerlandese sugli studi italiani. Incontri ha un carattere esplicitamente internazionale e interdisciplinare
Chandra Livia Candiani’s Buddhism
In La bambina pugile ovvero La precisione dell’amore (2014), Fatti vivo (2017), and Vista dalla luna (2019), Chandra Livia Candiani (b. 1952) evokes several traumatic experiences endured in her youth, which are here discussed in light of the poet’s later re-elaboration through concepts of Theravada Buddhism. In particular, Candiani’s early attempts to find solidarity in surrounding objects, animals, and plants is gradually inscribed within the Bu…
Italo Calvino and Japan
Italo Calvino (1923-85) travelled to Japan in the autumn of 1976. Thereafter, his work shows an increasing fascination with Japanese literature and Zen Buddhism, even as he adds Japanese works to the bookshelves of his library in Rome. This is the first study to restore to the author's writing the dynamics of East-West dialogues, addressing Japanese gardens and temples, but also literary and artistic expressions, as the spaces through which Calvi…
Calvino and Japanese Gardens
Italo Calvino travelled to Japan in 1976 and, throughout his career, became increasingly acquainted with Japanese literature and Buddhist philosophy. This encounter is evidenced by the ‘Japanese shelves’ of his Roman library and by several authorial reflections, which this article scrutinises in order to highlight the material-ecocritical relevance of Calvino’s contact with Japanese nature and culture. In particular, this analysis interprets Japa…
Più forti dell'acciaio
I curatori di questo numero speciale di The Italianist intervistano la regista italiana Chiara Sambuchi a partire dal suo documentario del 2021 intitolato Più forti dell'acciaio. La conversazione cerca di restituire la polifonia ambientale e culturale alla base del lavoro di Sambuchi, ambientato tra Brasile, Italia e Germania e incentrato sul portato transnazionale di delicati problemi di giustizia ambientale. \n= \nThe guest editors of this spec…
Antonia Pozzi’s and Nan Shepherd’s Mountains
This article undertakes a comparative reading of Pozzi's and Shepherd's poetic and ecological relationship with mountain environments, combining affect theory and ecocriticism.The threefold structure follows a conceptual refrain borrowed from Zen philosophy.The first section, 'First There Is a Mountain', addresses sensual perceptions in the authors' poems through the lenses of new materialism, delineating the potential of an embodied knowledge of…
Introduction
The title of this special issue, Cross-Cultural Articulations of Italian Ecocriticism, indicates the theoretical framework from which we move — material ecocriticism — and the direction in which we want to take it — cross-cultural exchanges — starting from an Italian viewpoint. According to this framework, matter is densely storied, yet stories are not the same for all human or nonhuman inhabitants of an ecosystem. The narrative patterns they art…
Zen as everyday praxis
In Italo Calvino’s works, dialectical oppositions engender a creeping sense of nervous tension, which this article retraces in its multifarious narrative forms. Contextually, this study addresses the relevance of Calvino’s encounter with Zen praxis as an alternative to nerve-wracking dichotomous choices, towards a harmonious fusion of opposites. Palomar (1983), Calvino’s last major work of fiction, serves as a prism to restore to the author’s wri…
