England versus Sicily in Pirandello's “The black baby goat”
Con il racconto “Il capretto nero,” Pirandello vuole resistere e sfatare l'articolazione di un discorso razziale, descrittivo e prescrittivo, che si era venuto ad articolare in Europa durante la modernità. Alternando commenti umoristici a quelli ironici, Pirandello mette in risalto la sua diffidenza verso il trionfo del razionalismo e del realismo che la modernità aveva imposto in Europa e che aveva sciaguratamente generato il darwinismo sociale …
Resisting the Mafia's oppression through children's literature
Attraverso l’analisi di quattro libri per l’infanzia ed adolescenza sulla mafia ed antimafia, questo articolo mette in risalto sia le funzioni narrative di tali racconti che quelle più propriamente sociali e culturali. Per l’analisi delle funzioni narrative, l’articolo si serve delle teorie strutturali di Vladimir Propp – soprattutto quelle relative alla persona drammatica dell’eroe e del “cattivo” – come delle teorie della narrazione del trauma.…
Representing Women’s Displacement from the Margins in Liberal Italy
This article focuses on the intersections between recently politically emancipated Jewish painter Corcos and his representations of women in Liberal Italy in the paintings Annunciazione (1904) and Sogni (1896). In their subalternity, both Corcos and women inhabited a space of ‘in-betweenness’. Corcos lived and worked ‘in-between’ Catholicism and Judaism, as the painting Annunciazione demonstrates. Women in Liberal Italy lived ‘in-between’ the cen…
Modernity’s fears of depopulation and sterility in Mario Sironi’s urban landscapes
This article focuses on Fascist artist Mario Sironi’s urban landscapes as a site of modernity and its contradictions. With their gloomy buildings and deserted streets, Sironi’s landscapes highlight two of modernity's woes: The periferia of the “liberal” city and the fear for its inhabitants’ degeneration and sterility. In his “Il discorso dell’Ascensione,” Mussolini openly accuses industrial urbanism of its sterilizing effect on the Italian race,…
Italy’s unification and its discontents
The article, ‘Italy’s Unification and its Discontents: Verga’s Cos’è il Re, focuses on the mental confusion of the protagonist, Cosimo, which becomes symptomatic of the southern rural masses’ disenfranchisement from the unification process. Verga’s political disillusion with the new state, for which he fought, comes to the fore, underlining how the Savoy kingdom’s constitution was no guarantee of a real improvement for the rural masses. Verga’s s…
