Figure dell’abiezione. corpi che contano nel teatro di Annibale Ruccello Broccio, Emanuele This study offers an analysis of the play The Five Roses of Jennifer(1980) by Annibale Ruccellofrom a gender studies perspective. Recognised as the moment of affirmation of the author's dramaturgical originality, this play has been at the centre of debate not only for its peculiar relationship with Neapolitan theatrical tradition, but also for the intertextual references to the English stage production. Within this debate, Jennifer and her story have been interpreted, from time to time, as the allegory of Naples decadence. The analysis proposed here aims to read the story focusing on the(trans)gender identity of the protagonist, and to detect those textual elements that prevent her from finding an upstanding space of existence, thus relegating her into abjection. After taking into consideration the importance of the protagonist’s performances linked to the drag world, the research will contextualize her exclusion from society and consequent suicide. This death is the sad result of a toxic hetero normative environment in which the text itself was conceived and staged.

Quando confucio parlava latino: Prospero Intorcetta mediatore culturale Lokaj, Rodney; Tosco, Alessandro This paper presents an analysis of the Latinity of Prospero Intorcetta (1625-1696), a Sicilian Jesuit who was sent to China as a missionary in 1657. Initially devised to teach his fellow missionaries Chinese,his Latin translations ultimately introduced Confucian thought to Europe. Concretely, this paper seeks to investigate both Intorcetta’s translation technique and the sources he used regarding a passage from Confucius’s Analecta(II.4) as presented in the SapientiaSinica(1662). From such an analysis, the team has ascertained that the filter through which Intorcetta chose to convey Confucian thought seems to have been Thomistic Latin tempered primarily through the paradigm of Augustinian thought and the Italian lyric tradition.

Il gorgo mitico di Cesare Pavese Mariani, Marta The article takes into consideration an equivalence that Cesare Pavese noted in his journal. This equivalence correlates the concept of God and the notion of the unconscious. The purposeof this note is interesting to investigate, especially because it has repercussions on the author’s poetics. It emerges, in fact, between the writing of essaysabout myth and poetry (Feria d’agosto) and the preparation of mythological dialogues (Dialoghi con Leucò).

Una visita dal “di là”: simmetrie oniriche tra Pirandello e Capuana Tenerelli, Domenico Luigi Capuana, atypical verista attracted by occult’s fascination, was the first ever literary model for Pirandello and also contributed at the end of 800th century to lead ideologically the writer from Girgenti on the way of the irrational, by inducing in him a concrete interest for theosophical and spiritualistic doctrines. The aim of this essay is to display how the influence operated by the writer from Mineo on Pirandello could be also considered on dreamlike bases, through a survey of analogies and links between Capuana’s Sogni... non sogni!(1905) and Pirandello’s Visita(1935). In fact is the suggestive topic of «dream’s reality» –probably attributable to theosophy and frequent in the last Pirandello’s literary production –that connects the two works by prospecting an unexpected and renewed connection between the two authors for which the real world is intimately ingrained with the “di là”: Visita also represents a first and pioneering approach of an aesthetic process according to which the artistic moment is converted irrationalistically by Pirandello and that he would have more widely carried out in Effetti d’un sogno interrottoand in I Giganti della montagna, inaugurating a short new season that only death would have interrupted.
