    Dear colleagues,

     

    You’re cordially invited to attend the following online event:

    Italy and Italianists of Asian Backgrounds in North America

     

    We hope to open a public conversation for the growing number of Italianists of Asian backgrounds working in North America's Italian programs. The online session intends to provide a space for some of them to discuss their perspectives and experiences about transnational Italian Studies through engaging Asia or ideas inspired by Asia. Participants will tell personal stories, explain research projects, and discuss pedagogy. In particular, we ask the panelists and the audience to consider the following questions:

     

    What cultural paradigms, critical approaches, and theoretical perspectives do you bring to Italian Studies from AsiaAsian Studies, or scholars of Asian origins? 

     

    How are such scholarly practices enriching Italian Studies? 

     

    How do you view your scholarship in relation to other transnational or transcultural practices within Italian Studies?

     

    How do you think your research and pedagogy benefit the student bodies at your institutions? 

     

    Please join us online on March 3rd, 2023 at 11:15 PST/14:15 EST/20:15 CET for a 1.5 hr panel.

    GLOBAL DANTE (1800 TO PRESENT): TRANSLATIONS, TRANSFORMATIONS, ADAPTATIONS

     

    In modern times, Dante’s work has been the object of an impressive number of appropriations, reinterpretations, and transformations of various kinds. Theatrical and film adaptations are but two well-known examples, yet the poet’s influence resonates widely across many other media and artistic genres, from music to graphic novels to videogames. Concomitantly, a number of translations have been published which made his works available for the first time to new linguistic communities, thereby tracing what can be considered as a sort of “global Dante” phenomenon.

    At the 2022 AAIS-AATI annual conference, the international journal Bibliotheca Dantesca is sponsoring a panel (or series of panels) exploring global appropriations and adaptions of Dante’s works as they relate to language, literature, performative arts, and new media.

     

    We plan to have a session in both sections of the 2022 conference, the virtual and the in-person in Bologna. The panel(s) is sponsored by Bibliotheca Dantesca: Journal of Dante Studies

     

    Please send a 150-200 word abstract and a short CV to bibliothecadantesca@sas.upenn.edu by January 31st, 2022. Make sure to include whether you are applying for the online or the in-person format.

    Pigeon Soup & Other Stories by Rosanna Micelotta Battigelli

    Reviewed by angelo sgabellone


    Since the first acts of creation the roots of civilization have been grounded in the human narrative as “story telling” and its ability to evidence experience, implicit and explicit, to explain life’s emotive conditions. Such empathy, pushed our belief systems to higher levels of consciousness.  These insights of our earlier Palaeolithic uncertainties have influenced our imagination to give primal foundation as religion, language and art which humanize cultural development. Such specialization helped evolve behavioural transitions then moulded (iconic) symbols and oral story telling into aesthetic modes. This notion of collective awakening became the essence of who we are and as such is at the heart of the intrinsic art of Sudbury author Rosanna Micelotta Battigelli.


    In Rosanna’s latest book, Pigeon Soup & Other Stories, we discover the singular sensitivity of such social norms and universal truths.  Her creative dexterity between diametrical emotion and semi-biographical narrative, guides her vision and wills subjects through a series of imaginative testaments that root her rustic Italo/Canadian essence. The author builds these perceptive fields with layers of allegorical intrigue and diametrical allusions of broken souls yearning for hopeful resolutions.


    According to Roland Barthes, short stories are a form of “semiological postulation.” Literary forms of artistic relationships between a signifier and signified. This interrelationship belongs to the interplay of the “communication process.” In other words, the artist is at liberty to formalize “qualities” of life and share their sense of “equivalence of existence.”  Therefore the artist’s insight looks to a higher degree of awareness.  This state elevates the existential proficiency of a reader’s cognitive ability to formalize a “story” and its meaning.  In Rosanna’s case, the creative experience becomes an act of  “inter-relational discovery” that endears subjective notions to live beyond aesthetic meaning.


    Moreover, Bologna linguist Umberto Eco suggests in Serendipity, Language and Lunacy, when different cultures meet, the result becomes a “reciprocal diversity” with three possibilities. The first is Conquest or an inability to accept different cultures as “barbarian effect.”  Second, Cultural Pillage, when members of one culture recognize, but subjugate into new cultures.  Much like the Greeks absorbed Egyptian culture. Lastly, Exchange, similar to the influence Jesuits had on Marco Polo’s adventures when they brought eco/cultural growth into Asian diametrics, fusing evocative characterization with diverse story lines.


    History tells us, the migratory aesthetics of writers such as: T.S. Elliot, Joseph Conrad and Thomas Wolfe were imbedded within multi-layers of ethereal imaginative schisms that polarized the variance of light/shade as “fear and loathing.”  This permeated primordial neolithic imagination into Jungian notions of chiaroscuro instincts as temporal sfumato springboards used as primal “logos” of symbolic influence. 


    These ethereal notions are at the heart of  Rosanna Micelotta Battigelli’s enchanted tales of northern Ontario influence. At the age of three she became endeared to search for creative meaning, in diverse cultures. Then she discovered the love of writing as a principal “home base” which shaped her craft into a magical tapestry of wonder and inter-relational identity. Her journey from the village of Camini in Italy to Canada moulded her curiosity similar to the great 19th century ships that travelled to America, searching for the virtue of hopeful transitions as pivotal axis.


    Battigelli’s latest creation:  Pigeon Soup & Other Stories offers seemingly effusive subjugation in eight enchanting offerings. Her voice becomes a blended echo, mixed with the diverse uncertainty and grace of personal human struggles. The stories are measured accounts of rustic neo-Calabrian dissonance elevating the intense spiritual forces of subconscious open fields that colour their tempered harshness and burst into sparks like a rustic cavalleria of song and hopeful substance.


    This transmutation of subjective text and story telling, in eight erudite adventures, spices and folds, colourful effect as atmospheric ethical affliction that tears the tipsy superstitions of Santo, a Calabrian taxi driver in Pigeon Soup.  Rosanna then introduces us to the laboured shame of youthful ridicule in Alligator Shoes. Here harsh conditions are ritualized through the empathetic Angie and her doting mother Francesca as they face the tedious task of making sausage (salsicce) in Francesca’s Way where mother and daughter struggle with indifference, heartbreak and adjustment to an altered set of cultural values. Then this sanctity of silence and indiscretions springs us into a sense of cynicism in: This Too Shall Pass, where the protagonist Angelo struggles with the lurid silence of breached sanctity and parental misgivings ruptured by the conditions of predatory faith. This drifts us into the grandmotherly (nonna’s) Greco/Calabrian brooding with the idiomatic superstitions of a young child’s haunting fascination with death and absence in, The Hawk. The primal phantoms of winged terror fascinate with (zingari) gypsies and (u babau) boogeymen. This selfless contradiction and ritual shifts deeply into Veiled Intentions and its cruel dangling of ethereal lessons. Followed by the racial inevitability and drunken coming of age of Frank and Vic during the FLQ murders in Quebec’s eclectic 1970s that leave both helpless, in:  Degrees of Separation. Rosanna closes her fascinating series with the re-setting of religious prejudice between families, who, in Black as Tar navigate the norms of selfless contradictions and diverse humility as a redeeming act of grace and acceptance. She tells us:


    “The characters in this collection are embroiled in situations that test their limits …. They are navigating relationships and grappling with issues of translocation, language and identity, religion and culture, and food.”


    Like our ancient Palaeolithic ancestors, Rosanna understands the primal act of story telling. She weaves her Ionian tapestry into a Jungian notion of harnessed light pushing its lurid obsessions of fluid mysteries that originally shaped her creative foresights. This harsh condition and localized “wants and fears” inevitably fascinate beyond selfless limitations and personal identity. For many Italo/Canadian writers, this also sets physical and spiritual bridges that nudge the need of transformative allegory to encapsulate the essence of personal knowledge as a serious act of art. Rosanna is a pivotal writer you must read.

    Care amiche, cari amici CAIS, 


    scriviamo per segnalarvi che in occasione della XXI Settimana della Lingua Italiana nel Mondo, che si terrà dal 18 al 24 ottobre 2021, verrà diffuso gratuitamente in formato elettronico il libro Dante, l’italiano, edito dall’Accademia della Crusca e dall'Editore goWare, pubblicato su impulso del Ministero degli Affari Esteri. 


    Come curatori del volume, vi segnaliamo l'uscita del libro e l'opportunità di scaricarlo liberamente (nella settimana 18-24 ottobre).


    Abbiamo pensato il volume per un impiego didattico, anche nell'insegnamento dell'italiano Lingua 2: sono presenti immagini, riferimenti a siti internet, spunti relativi a fumetti, canzoni, enigmistica. 


    Inviamo in allegato il Comunicato stampa dell'Accademia della Crusca: qui trovate una descrizione del contenuto del volume e l'indice. 

     

    Lunedì 18 ottobre vi spediremo il link da cui potrete scaricare liberamente  il libro.

    Nel libro, intorno alla figura e alla lingua di Dante, convergono storie di ricerca diverse. Studiosi noti e affermati, dantisti di vaglia, si affiancano a giovani ma agguerriti ricercatori. Temi tradizionalmente legati ai più vari aspetti dell’azione e dell’immagine di Dante tracciano i perimetri fondamentali delle sue idee linguistiche, della sua operosità, della sua presenza e del suo riuso nella tradizione e nella storia, non solo letteraria, ma anche figurativa e dialettale; a essi si uniscono temi nuovi e meno scontati, che toccano molti dei mezzi e modi della comunicazione destinata al largo pubblico (dall’opera lirica alle canzoni, dal Dante dei fumetti e per ragazzi al Dante degli enigmisti, fino a una più generale considerazione del Dante pop). La varietà degli argomenti trova riscontro nella disponibilità di materiali inediti e studiati per la prima volta, che ci si augura possano essere apprezzati, anche per una fruizione didattica, da un pubblico italiano e internazionale; a questa finalità risponde anche l’inserimento di una sitografia aggiornata. 

    Le voci e le figure di poeti e scrittori, enigmisti e fumettisti, che hanno donato le loro creazioni originali, raccontano un dialogo con Dante che viene da lontano e va oltre il centenario.  Un valore aggiunto di questo libro, che percorrerà le vie del mondo, è l’immagine di copertina, realizzata da Federica Mauro, una giovane artista con disabilità: al suo Dante e le Stelle è affidata una speranza di rinascita, che porti tutti noi a «riveder le stelle».

    I am pleased to share the news of the publication of my latest book, 

    Pigeon Soup & Other Stories (Inanna Publications, 2021). 

    https://www.inanna.ca/product/pigeon-soup-and-other-stories/ 


    The characters in this collection are embroiled in situations that test their limits with each other, outsiders, and themselves. They are navigating relationships and grappling with issues of translocation, language and identity, religion and culture, and food. These stories portray some of the dark places that the characters inhabit physically, emotionally, or metaphorically, with surprising twists that sometimes provide a flicker—or even a bright beam—of hope.


    "An exquisitely crafted, engaging and lively collection of novellePigeon Soup & Other Stories, similarly to the sumptuous Mediterranean dishes seductively garnishing its pages, serves us a reading to be savoured, much like anything that is fine in life. Woven into a realist framework of old-country customs and new-world expectations, the narrative’s interlacing strands of solid plot, sound psychological character study, and language and identity issues deploy an intense literary glow that caresses our sensibilities. Refreshingly innovative, too, the other side of the coin: the stories are not exclusive to one culture. And so, having enjoyed Nonna’s “comforting bowl” of free-run unadulterated pigeon soup we find ourselves invited across the street (that is, the page) to a  "delicious bowl of Lipton’s chicken soup. " Ah, the joys of a pleasurable text, as Barthes would say."

    Call for papers rivista PISANA

    Promozione Internazionale degli Studi e delle Analisi su Nievo Autore

    Promotion Internationale des Synthèses et des Analyses sur Nievo Auteur

    Promotion of International Studies About Nievo Author

    Fondata e diretta da Elsa Chaarani (Université de Lorraine, France)


    Questa rivista internazionale di studi sulle opere d’Ippolito Nievo, la cui periodicità è annua, è destinata a cancellare la mancanza di una pubblicazione specifica sull’opera di Ippolito Nievo, ormai riconosciuto come uno dei più importanti autori della letteratura italiana dell’Ottocento.

    Ippolito Nievo (1831-1861) che appartiene alla seconda generazione del Risorgimento, ha conosciuto nel breve corso della sua esistenza soltanto gli anni più agitati, movimentati, ma anche più ricchi dell’unificazione di un Italia che alla sua nascita nel 1831 era ancora divisa in più di dieci piccoli Stati per lo più sotto il giogo di una potenza straniera.


    La rivista è composta di quattro rubriche:

    • Articoli (5-10 al massimo) sull’opera di Nievo o sul contesto storico da lui conosciuto.
    • Rubrica Rileggendo nella quale verranno recensiti testi di Nievo o su Nievo e la sua opera pubblicati dal 2000 al 2019.
    • Recensioni in cui verranno recensiti testi recenti.
    • Bibliografia in cui segnaleremo i testi usciti di recente.

    Gli oggetti di studio sono Ippolito Nievo, la sua vita o le sue opere, ma anche il contesto storico o letterario di quegli anni, o i personaggi più o meno famosi da lui incrociati, da Garibaldi alla contessa Maffei, a Arnaldo Fusinato e Erminia Fuà a Giovanni Arrivabene. I testi recensiti possono essere opere di Nievo recentemente pubblicate o testi della produzione critica nievana, dal 2000 in poi, ma anche analisi storici o letterari del contesto.


    La rivista sarà pubblicata alla fine di ogni anno e gli articoli saranno selezionati secondo la prodedura detta double blind e saranno inoltre oggetto di un attenta rilettura editoriale.

    Potete mandare all’indirizzo della redazione (pisana19@outlook.com):

    • Una proposta d’articolo (un titolo e 10-20 righe di presentazione) al più tardi il 31 dicembre 2020 per il numero 3 pubblicato nel 2021. L’articolo sarà poi da mandare per il 30 giugno 21.
    • Una proposta per la rubrica Rileggendo o per la rubrica Recensioni da spedire alle stesse date

    Le tre lingue accettate sono il francese l’italiano o l’inglese.


    Appel à contributions à la revue PISANA

    (Promozione Internazionale degli Studi e delle Analisi su Nievo Autore,

    Promotion Internationale des Synthèses et des Analyses sur Nievo Auteur)

    fondée et dirigée par Elsa Chaarani (Université de Lorraine)


    Cette revue internationale d’études sur les œuvres d’Ippolito Nievo, dont la périodicité est annuelle, vient combler une lacune criante, car bien que cet auteur soit désormais reconnu comme l’un des plus importants de la littérature italienne du XIXe siècle, aucune revue ne lui était consacrée spécifiquement.


    Issu de la seconde génération du Risorgimento, Ippolito Nievo (1831-1861) n’a connu, au cours de son rapide passage sur cette terre, que les années les plus agitées, les plus mouvementées, mais aussi les plus riches du Risorgimento. De cette période où le sort de l’Italie n’était encore en rien figé en une solution définitive, de ce rêve d’une société encore à naître, de cette conscience historique aiguë, naquit, sous sa plume, une œuvre extrêmement originale, comme inspirée par un passé, comme portée une sorte de stupéfiante prescience de l’avenir.


    La revue comporte 4 rubriques :

    • Articles (entre 5 et 10) sur la vie et sur l’œuvre de Nievo ou sur le contexte historique qu’il a connu.
    • Rubrique En relisant qui porte sur des textes de Nievo ou sur Nievo publiés entre 2000 et 2019.
    • Recensions qui portent sur des textes de Nievo, sur Nievo ou sur le contexte historique.
    • Bibliographie où nous signalons les œuvres de Nievo ou sur Nievo publiées récemment.

    Les objets d’études sont Ippolito Nievo, sa vie et son œuvre, mais aussi le contexte historique, le contexte littéraire, les personnages plus ou moins connus qu’il a croisés, de Garibaldi à Arnaldo Fusinato, d’Erminia Fuà à Giovanni Arrivabene. Les recensions portent sur toutes les publications des œuvres de Nievo, sur toute la production critique nievienne, particulièrement celle de ces quinze dernières années et aussi sur des analyses historiques ou littéraires du contexte.


    Les trois langues de publication sont le français, l’italien, l’anglais.


    La revue sera annuelle, et paraîtra à la fin de chaque année. Les articles seront sélectionnés pour une relecture double aveugle par les membres du comité scientifique ci-dessus. Ils feront ensuite l’objet d’une relecture éditoriale par les membres du comité éditorial.


    Pour les numéros, vous pouvez envoyer à l’adresse de la rédaction : pisana19@outlook.com

    • Une proposition d’article (un titre et dix à vingt lignes décrivant le contenu) pour le n. 3 (parution en 2021) au plus tard le 31 décembre 2020 (si votre proposition est retenue, l’article sera à remettre pour le 30 juin)
    • - Une proposition de recension d’éditions critiques d’œuvres de Nievo, ou de littérature secondaire portant sur Nievo, son œuvre ou le contexte historique.
