Performance and Text in the Italian Carolingian Tradition
Performance and Text in the Italian Carolingian Tradition Antonio Scuderi Truman State University [*eCompanion at www.oraltradition.org 1 ] One of the most fascinating aspects of the chivalric-epic tradition of Italy is the historical dialectic between its manifestations as oral performance and written text. Based primarily on Carolingian lore, the oral and written traditions influenced each other in a symbiotic dialogue across the centuries. Joh…
Unmasking the Holy Jester Dario Fo
Throughout his long and successful career, Dario Fo has based his theater on popular theatrical forms and the oral tradition. In many ways, this was at the heart of the controversy surrounding the decision to award him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1997. Influenced by the writings of Antonio Gramsci, Fo's mission has been to give dignity back to folk culture. A close look at his 1999 giullarata (one-man show) about Saint Francis of Assisi, The…
Il segreto del giullare
Morte accidentale di un anarchico
Now part of the canon of Italian plays, Morte accidentale di un anarchico, in its original form, was a subversive piece of political theatre. It is based on the events of December 1969 when Guiseppe Pinelli, the anarchist of the title, fell to his death from a fourth floor window of the police headquarters in Milan, where he was being held for questioning in connection with the bomb in Pialla Fontana. This edition sets the play in its historical …

His criticism has focused on the concept of cosmic terror and the image of the severe paternal god as means of asserting and enforcing the dominion of official cultures. In performances such as Mistero buffo, The Pope and the Witch, and, more recently, Johan Padan, he continues the satumalian traditions of parodic, ic…

Code Interaction in Nino Martoglio's I Civitoti in Pretura
In recent years, with the publication of books such as Hermann Haller's The Hidden Italy (1986), more attention is being given to Italian literature. In the introduction to his book, Haller makes us aware that dialect literature is composed largely by cultivated writers who also write in the koine (1986, 32). This bilingual/ bicultural vantage point of the writers signifies that much of what they have to offer may be sociolinguistic in nature, an…
