Recepción de Carlo Goldoni en Francia

Carlo Goldoni, Scenari per la Comédie-Italienne

Andrea Fabiano (a cura di)
Venezia: Marsilio (Colana: "Letteratura Universale"), 2017, 400 pp.
ISBN: 9788831727242

Le numerose edizioni settecentesche che s’intersecano l’una con l’altra, la mancanza degli autografi e la vastità dell’impresa di fronte alle cento e più commedie, alle decine di melodrammi giocosi, di drammi per musica e di altri componimenti teatrali, cui si affiancano poesie, prose amplissime di memoria e un cospicuo epistolario, hanno impedito fino ad ora che si affrontasse la questione dell’edizione critica delle opere di Carlo Goldoni. La cultura italiana e internazionale si era rassegnata e accomodata all’ombra della grande, meritoria fatica di Giuseppe Ortolani iniziata nei primi anni del secolo, senza, tuttavia, un chiaro progetto e senza precisi criteri filologici. Alla base di questa edizione nazionale vi è stata una preliminare indagine sulle stampe volute dall’autore dal 1750 agli anni ultimi della sua lunga vita al fine di determinare, opera per opera, i diversi stadi del testo. Da qui la presenza di un ricco apparato di varianti che illustra l’evoluzione della singola opera fino al momento in cui l’autore non impone ad essa una fisionomia definitiva. Consegnati al teatro, i testi, che erano nati per esso, riprenderanno immediatamente il loro cammino nella continua e molteplice dinamica dell’interpretazione che qui viene di volta in volta ricostruita nelle pagine dedicate alla fortuna.

Andrea Fabiano insegna letteratura italiana alla Sorbona. Si occupa di drammaturgia teatrale e operistica dell'epoca moderna. Per l'edizione nazionale ha curato tre commedie del periodo parigino di Goldoni: L'amore paterno, Il matrimonio per concorso e Il genio buono e il genio cattivo.

--XOOX--

Oggetti desueti, frammenti di un rimosso che ritorna, tracce superstiti di una scrittura drammatica che ripensa il percorso di una vita, i documenti teatrali raccolti in questo volume tratteggiano la lunga attività di Carlo Goldoni per la Comédie-Italienne di Parigi (1761-1775).
Sommari, documenti dell’archivio teatrale parigino, recensioni, copioni manoscritti sono qui riuniti insieme per la prima volta, come in una “stanza delle meraviglie”, per tratteggiare nella loro eterogeneità e nella loro logica progettuale l’ultima storia non scritta del fare teatrale di Goldoni. Così da offrire al lettore curioso le ombre superstiti dell’itinerario drammaturgico francese per- corso dal grande commediografo veneziano.

Usos argumentativos de la metáfora

Marc Bonhomme, Anne-Marie Paillet, Philippe Wahl (dirs.)

Métaphore et argumentation
Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgique) : Editions Academia, 2017, 375 pp.
ISBN: 9782806103567

 

La métaphore a fait l'objet de nombreuses publications, mais son exploitation argumentative a suscité peu d'investigations systématiques en dépit de ses enjeux. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de combler cette lacune en cernant le rôle de la métaphore dans l'argumentation, mais surtout en faisant retour sur la figure elle-même, pour décrire son potentiel argumentatif et la nature de ses manifestations. Ce projet suppose d'affronter l'instabilité conceptuelle des notions de métaphore et d'argumentation, pour mieux saisir leur interaction. L'argumentation métaphorique, parce qu'elle mise moins sur la raison que sur la persuasion, s'expose aux griefs de l'artifice, voire de la manipulation. Mais la composante argumentative de la métaphore, envisagée ici à travers ses ressorts et son rendement discursif, révèle la plasticité et l'efficacité de la figure.

L'ouvrage réunit dix-huit études de spécialistes de rhétorique, de sémantique, d'analyse du discours et de stylistique, portant sur des corpus divers: discours littéraire, philosophique, scientifique, politique, médiatique, proverbial... Il est organisé en trois sections. L'argumentation métaphorique, d'abord éclairée par une relecture des textes fondateurs de la rhétorique antique, est ensuite soumise à un recadrage théorique rendant compte de ses modes d'actualisation. Enfin, son étude dans des discours variés selon les époques et les genres montre le rôle de l'interprétation pour l'appréhension de ses stratégies d'influence.

Derecho y Literatura en Inglaterra s. XVI-XVIII (Oxford Handbook)

The Oxford Handbook of English Law and Literature, 1500-1700

Lorna Hutson (ed.)

Oxford: Oxford UP, 2017. 720 pp.

ISBN: 9780199660889

This Handbook triangulates the disciplines of history, legal history, and literature to produce a new, interdisciplinary framework for the study of early modern England. For historians of early modern England, turning to legal archives and learning more about legal procedure has seemed increasingly relevant to the project of understanding familial and social relations as well as political institutions, state formation, and economic change. Literary scholars and intellectual historians have also shown how classical forensic rhetoric formed the basis both of the humanist teaching of literary composition (poetry and drama) and of new legal epistemologies of fact-finding and evidence evaluation. In addition, the post-Reformation jurisdictional dominance of the common law produced new ways of drawing the boundaries between private conscience and public accountability. This Handbook brings historians, literary scholars, and legal historians together to build on and challenge these and similar lines of inquiry. Chapters in the Handbook consider the following topics in a variety of combinations: forensic rhetoric, poetics and evidence; humanist and legal learning; political and professional identities at the Inns of Court; poetry, drama, and visual culture; local governance and legal reform; equity, conscience, and religious law; legal transformations of social and affective relations (property, marriage, witchcraft, contract, corporate personhood); authorial liability (libel, censorship, press regulation); rhetorics of liberty, slavery, torture, and due process; nation, sovereignty, and international law (the British archipelago, colonialism, empire).

Los derechos humanos en España. Una sesión continua

Los derechos humanos en el cine español

Juan Antonio Gómez García (ed.)
Madrid: Dykinson, 2017, 424 pp.
ISBN: 978849148330

El tratamiento de los derechos humanos en el cine constituye un tema bastante recurrente dentro de los llamados Estudios de Derecho y Cine. La naturaleza fundamental de estos derechos en nuestros ordenamientos jurídicos y su importancia política cardinal en las democracias actuales, son razones que explican, en buena medida, la circunstancia anterior. Sin embargo, a pesar de todo, hasta ahora no había sido objeto de un tratamiento monográfico, sistemático y exhaustivo en el contexto específico de nuestro cine, el cine español.

El presente volumen pretende cubrir esta laguna desde varios presupuestos y enfoques: por un lado, desde un punto de vista histórico, haciendo un repaso panorámico del cine español, prácticamente desde las primeras noticias filmográficas de estos derechos en nuestras películas, hasta nuestros días; por otro lado, mediante el examen y análisis de filmes, cineastas, géneros y tendencias específicas de nuestra cinematografía, en relación con ellos.

Con este fin, se han convocado aquí a buena parte de los más importantes representantes de Derecho y Cine, en lengua española, tanto de España como de Iberoamérica.

Bitácora jurídica para Joyce

Joyce and the law

Jonathan Goldman (ed.)

Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2017, 288 pp.

ISBN: 9780813054742

 

Making the case that legal issues are central to James Joyce’s life and work, international experts in law and literature offer new insights into Joyce’s most important texts. They analyze Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Giacomo Joyce, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake in light of the legal contexts of Joyce’s day.

Topics include marriage laws, the Aliens Act of 1905, laws governing display and use of language, minority rights debates, municipal self-government, and regulations on alcohol consumption and licensing. This volume also highlights Joyce’s own fascination with law and legal inquiry, his use of a “trademark” visual and linguistic style, the obscenity cases brought against Ulysses, and how copyright has affected publication of Joyce’s work. These discussions show how reading Joyce alongside the law enriches both legal studies and literary scholarship.  

Jonathan Goldman, assistant professor of English at New York Institute of Technology, is the author of Modernism Is the Literature of Celebrity and coeditor of Modernist Star Maps: Celebrity, Modernity, Culture.

Dimensiones filosóficas del teatro shakespereano

Shakespeare au risque de la philosophie

Pascale Drouet et Philippe Grosos (dir.)
Paris: Éditions Hemann, 2017, 550 pp.
ISBN: 9782705693251

Shakespeare n’est pas philosophe. Et nombre de ses pointes ironiques à l’égard des philosophes témoignent de la défiance qu’ils lui inspiraient. Mais outre qu’il aura été influencé par diverses traditions philosophiques, provenant de l’Antiquité comme de la Renaissance, son œuvre, depuis le XVIII^e siècle jusqu’à nos jours, n’a cessé d’inspirer celles des philosophes.

Aussi interroger Shakespeare au risque de la philosophie n’est pas l’aborder avec la volonté de soumettre son théâtre au règne du concept dans l’espoir secret de le démythifier. C’est à l’inverse le prendre au sérieux, sans complaisance et jusque dans ses provocations, afin de faire entendre son propos et ses questions.

Fruit d’une collaboration originale entre anglicistes et philosophes, cet ouvrage constitue un apport inédit aux études shakespeariennes de langue française.

Porque Eichmann era idiota, no estúpido

Bettina Stangneth

La veritá del male. Eichmann prima di Gerusalemme
Roma: LUISS University Press, 2017, 604 pp.
ISBN: 9788861052710

Accolto con clamore in tutto il mondo, e cinquant’anni dopo La banalità del male, questo libro capovolge l’immagine di Eichmann e del nazismo data da Hannah Arendt.Il gerarca nazista Adolf Eichmann, dopo la fine della seconda guerra mondiale, fuggì in Argentina e lì visse nascosto finché non venne catturato dai servizi segreti israeliani e portato a Gerusalemme per il celebre proceso.

Bettina Stangneth, filosofa tedesca esperta di inganno e manipolazione, ne ha seguito le tracce lasciate durante la sua latitanza, rintracciando i suoi nascondigli e portando alla luce documenti segreti e dettagli inediti, svelando così le abili macchinazioni con cui uno dei principali architetti della Shoah, che egli riteneva “il suo capolavoro”, definì se stesso “funzionario d’ordine” e “piccolo ingranaggio nella macchina di annientamento nazista”.
Stangneth dimostra che l’immagine di grigio burocrate, inetto e poco intelligente, della quale si convinse Hannah Arendt, che così lo raccontò a milioni di lettori, fu in realtà studiata a tavolino dallo stesso Eichmann, abile manipolatore sociale che sperava in questo modo di aver salva la vita. Non ci riuscì, ma riuscì – fino a oggi – a perpetrare un inganno ancora più terribile: farci credere che il diavolo non esiste.

Bettina Stangneth è una filosofa e storica tedesca. Esperta di teoria dell’inganno e psicologia della manipolazione, ha studiato a lungo il fenomeno dell’antisemitismo e la filosofia del nazionalsocialismo. La verità del male, tradotto in numerose lingue e destinato, secondo molti osservatori, a entrare tra i grandi classici sul ’900, ha vinto il premio NDR Kultur come miglior saggio in lingua tedesca, è stato finalista del Cundill Prize ed è stato inserito tra i notable books del New York Times.

CCC---CCC

Porque, efectivamente, ser un idiota moral no implica como consecuencia necesaria la estupidez mental. La máquina burocrática, sin corazón, funcionó con una racionalidad a prueba de necedades. Las órdenes que se impartían para llevar a cabo las múltiples operaciones de exterminio estuvieron  previamente planeadas en su desarrollo y práctica con un cálculo límpidamente racional. La política antisemita del nazismo ni el banal ni puede considerarse ejecutada bajo el trastorno de la simpleza intelectual. El legado de Hannah Arendt tiene un déficit en ese punto, y podría llegar a ser -también hoy- confundente; porque a veces el árbol impide ver el bosque, y sus senderos.
