Firstly, can the infrastructure of Italian Studies accommodate non-Italianist writers and researchers? What sort of conversations might a Transnational Italian Studies scholar have with a comparatist? Secondly, to what extent does Lahiri’s text merit the prefix ‘trans’, especially if we adopt Jessica Berman’s view of the ‘trans’ prefix as disruptive of the normative? An analysis of In Other Words focusing on four trans-prefixed terms – transnational, transgender, transvestite, and translation – reveals a tension between essentialised concepts of national belonging, gender, and language and more performative instances of the same.","PeriodicalId":44221,"journal":{"name":"Italian Studies","volume":"22 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135973130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"(Extra)ordinary Sensation and Visionary Perception in Dante’s <i>Purgatorio</i> XV and XVII","authors":"Aistė Kiltinavičiūtė","doi":"10.1080/00751634.2023.2260694","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00751634.2023.2260694","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIn Purgatorio xv and xvii, Dante depicts the pilgrim’s inner visions produced without direct sensory input, which, paradoxically, lead to some of the most extravagantly multisensory descriptions in the second canticle of the Commedia. This article argues for the centrality of the cantos for understanding the visionary dimension of Dante’s work by examining how Purg. xv and xvii meditate on the differences and overlaps between everyday and extraordinary perception. First, I examine Dante’s depiction of the faculties of imaginativa and fantasia, involved both in ordinary and visionary sensation. Second, I explore how the cantos portray the ecstatic dimension of Dante’s experience. Finally, I analyse how Dante uses multisensory language in individual visions so as to reflect on the complexity of perceptual layers in visionary experiences and to appeal to readers who think with, and through, their senses.KEYWORDS: DantevisionsPurgatoriodivine comedysensesmedieval faculties AcknowledgmentsI would like to thank Heather Webb for reading about Saint Stephen’s blood many more times than could be recommended to anyone in their right mind, and Giuseppe Ledda for always offering the most useful advice, even when he disagrees with my readings of the Commedia. My thanks also go to Silvia Ross and the two anonymous reviewers whose suggestions helped to improve this article. My interest in the cantos dates back to a conversation with George Rayson, recorded in February 2021 as ‘Purgatorio 15: Are You Drunk?
